Timeline
Jonathan Leonard Friga (born February 26, 1950), known professionally as Jonathan Cain, is an American musician, singer and songwriter.
He is best known as the keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for Journey.
He has also worked with The Babys and Bad English.
Cain is a survivor of the Our Lady of the Angels School fire of 1958, which took the lives of 92 students and three nuns.
In 1968, Cain graduated from East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, and later attended the Chicago Conservatory of Music.
In 1979, he joined The Babys, appearing on their albums Union Jacks and On the Edge.
In 1980, Cain left The Babys to join the rock band Journey, taking Gregg Rolie's place on keyboards.
Cain aided Journey's rise to the top of the charts with his first collaborations on the album Escape, composing and playing the piano on songs such as "Don't Stop Believin'", described by AllMusic as "one of the best opening keyboard riffs in rock".
Perhaps his most notable contribution was as sole author of the Journey ballad "Faithfully", a song about life on the road while in a band.
Cain would go on to appear on at least 13 other Journey albums and compilations.
The song "Working Class Man" sung by Jimmy Barnes is one of Cain's compositions and is considered to be Barnes' signature song.
He started this tradition when he first joined the band in 1980.
In addition to his work with Journey, Cain has released eight solo albums and contributed to solo albums by fellow Journey member Neal Schon.
After releasing two 45s on Dial label as Johnny Lee from tapes recorded at Golden Voice in South Pekin, Il, he released a 45 under the name of Jonathan Cain on "October" on an obscure independent label. In 1976, Cain released another record as the Jonathan Cain Band, Windy City Breakdown, on Bearsville Records.
His first wife was singer Tané McClure for whom he wrote the 1983 hit song "Faithfully".
In 1989, he married his second wife, Elizabeth Yvette Fullerton, with whom he has three children: Madison (1993) and twins Liza and Weston (1996).
The band released two albums before disbanding in the early 1990s.
In 1996, the Journey lineup from the album Escape was reunited.
They reformed and recorded the album Trial by Fire.
Steve Perry then left the band again in 1998, after suffering a hip injury while hiking in Hawaii, that required surgery.
Journey has continued on with three subsequent lead singers, Steve Augeri from 1998 to 2006, Jeff Scott Soto from 2006 to 2007, and Arnel Pineda from 2007 to the present.
Cain is known to perform a piano solo at every Journey concert, usually right before the band performs "Open Arms."
He and Elizabeth divorced at the end of 2014.
This is the third marriage for both.
They reside in Apopka, Florida.
Jonathan has two younger brothers, Thomas and Harold.
Cain and David Kalmusky designed and built Addiction Sound, a recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee.
Cain is a devout Christian and believes this is reflected in his work creating and sharing Christian music.
His solo work includes a move to making Christian music since 2016.
Cain serves as the worship leader at City of Destiny, where his wife Paula White is the pastor.
Cain was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Journey in 2017.
He also maintains a solo career as a contemporary Christian artist.
Cain was born in Chicago to Leonard and Nancy Friga.
At the age of eight, Cain began accordion lessons, and by the time he was in his teens, he was playing accordion and piano at parties and in clubs.
He also plays guitar, bass, and harmonica.
In May 2018, Cain became a published author with the release of his memoir, Don't Stop Believin': The Man, the Band, and the Song That Inspired Generations.
Cain has been married three times.
