Lou Gramm is best known as the original lead vocalist of the rock band Foreigner. With his powerful, soaring voice, he helped define the band’s arena-rock sound in the late 1970s and 1980s.&nbsp;As Foreigner’s frontman, Gramm sang on major hits such as “Cold as Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero,” and the global No. 1 ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is.” He also pursued a successful solo career, scoring hits like “Midnight Blue” and “Just Between You and Me.”&nbsp;Gramm left Foreigner in 1990, rejoined briefly in the 1990s, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Foreigner in 2024. He remains celebrated as one of classic rock’s most distinctive voices.

Zebra, consisting of Randy Jackson, Felix Hanemann and Guy Gelso, concocted their moniker from a 1926 Vogue magazine cover and soon won over the South and East Coast. In 1982 Zebra’s self-titled debut album went gold and was the fastest selling debut album in Atlantic Records’ history thanks to the radio and MTV airplay of “Tell Me What You Want” and “Who’s Behind the Door?”. Zebra’s live performances often last over two hours and showcase all the classic Zebra tunes: “Who’s Behind the Door?”, “Tell Me What You Want”, “Wait Until the Summer’s Gone”, “Bears”, “One More Chance” and other all-time favorites including an occasional Led Zeppelin cover.
Donnie Vie, from Enuff Z’Nuff, is one of rock’s biggest secrets who has been crafting melodic power pop and rock songs for over 30 years. Donnie now continues his songwriting and performing under his own name, releasing a string of well-regarded and critically acclaimed songs and albums garnering him a Grammy nomination.
