Foreigner

Foreigner is a British–American rock band formed in New York City in 1976. The band’s original lineup consisted of vocalist Lou Gramm, guitarist Mick Jones, drummer Dennis Elliott, keyboardist Al Greenwood, multi‑instrumentalist Ian McDonald (formerly of King Crimson) and bassist Ed Gagliardi. Gagliardi was replaced by Rick Wills in 1979. Foreigner is one of the best‑selling bands of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding 80 million records, including 38 million in the U.S. Jones came up with the band name because he, Elliott and McDonald were British, while Gramm, Greenwood and Gagliardi were American, meaning at least half the members would be considered foreigners regardless of the country they were in. In 1977, Foreigner released its self‑titled debut album, the first of six consecutive albums to be certified multi‑platinum and reach the Top 10 in the U.S. The album produced two U.S. Top 10 singles, “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice”. Their 1978 follow‑up, Double Vision, was successful and included two more U.S. hits: “Hot Blooded” and the title track. Foreigner’s third album, Head Games (1979), featured the U.S. Top 20 singles “Dirty White Boy” and the title track. The band’s fourth album, 4 (1981), hit No. 1 for 10 weeks in the U.S. and became their breakthrough album in the UK, where it reached the Top 5.
