Timeline

1950

Louis Andrew Grammatico (born 2 May 1950), known professionally as Lou Gramm, is an American singer and songwriter.

Gramm was born on 2 May 1950, in Rochester, New York, the son of Nikki (born Masetta), a singer, and Bennie Grammatico, a band leader and trumpeter.

1968

He attended Gates-Chili High School in Rochester, graduating with the class of 1968, and majored in education and art at Monroe Community College.

Gramm became front man for the band Black Sheep.

1970

With Foreigner, Gramm became one of the most successful rock vocalists of the late 1970s and 1980s.

Foreigner's first eight singles cracked the Billboard Top 20, making them the first band since The Beatles to achieve this milestone.

Gramm performed vocals on all of Foreigner's hits including "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", "Break It Up", "Say You Will", and "I Don't Want to Live Without You".

1974

Black Sheep was the first American band signed to the Chrysalis label, which released their first single, "Stick Around" (1974).

1975

Soon after this initial bit of success, Black Sheep signed with Capitol Records, releasing two albums in succession: Black Sheep (1975) and Encouraging Words (late 1975).

They were the opening act for Kiss when an accident with their equipment truck on the ice-covered New York State Thruway suddenly ended the band's tour on Christmas Eve, 1975.

Unable to support its albums with live performances, Black Sheep disbanded.

A year earlier, Gramm met his future bandmate Mick Jones.

Jones was in Rochester New York performing with the band Spooky Tooth, and Gramm had given Jones a copy of Black Sheep's first album (S/T).

1976

He is best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Foreigner from 1976 to 1990 and again from 1992 to 2003, during which time the band had numerous successful albums and singles.

It was early in 1976, not long after Black Sheep's truck accident, when Jones, in search of a lead singer for a new band he was assembling, expressed his interest in Gramm and invited him to audition.

Gramm traveled to New York to audition and got the job.

Lou Grammatico then became Lou Gramm.

The band, which was initially known as "Trigger," was later renamed "Foreigner".

1980

Gramm wanted the band to remain true to its purer rock origins, favoring music with a solid drum and guitar structure, whereas Jones embraced the 1980s style of synthesizer ballads.

1981

He co-wrote most of the band's songs, including the hit ballads "Waiting for a Girl Like You", which spent ten weeks at #2 on the 1981/82 American Hot 100, and "I Want to Know What Love Is", which was a number one hit in eight countries.

Gramm and Jones had a volatile chemistry.

Gramm has called the 4 album (1981) the high point of his work with Foreigner.

1984

Foreigner's next album, Agent Provocateur (1984), took three years to release due to the ongoing creative differences between Jones and Gramm.

1987

The band released Inside Information in 1987.

Gramm released his first solo album, Ready or Not, in January 1987 to critical acclaim.

The single "Midnight Blue" reached the top five.

Also in 1987, Gramm contributed the song "Lost in the Shadows" to the soundtrack for the comedy horror film The Lost Boys.

1989

A second solo effort, Long Hard Look (October 1989), that included the top ten hit "Just Between You and Me" as well as "True Blue Love", reached the Top 40.

1990

The album also included "Hangin' on My Hip", which was featured in the 1990 film Navy SEALs.

Gramm announced his departure from Foreigner in May 1990 due to differences with Jones, and to focus on his solo career.

1991

Gramm also formed Shadow King with close friend and former Black Sheep bassist Bruce Turgon; their 1991 self-titled album was released by Atlantic Records.

Despite positive reviews, the group did not enjoy the level of marketing and promotional support necessary to sustain a new project and soon disbanded.

Also in 1991, Gramm contributed the song "One Dream" to the movie Highlander II: The Quickening.

1992

Gramm rejoined Foreigner in May 1992 after working out his differences with Jones during the Los Angeles riots.

1994

In 1994, Foreigner released the album Mr. Moonlight on the Rhythm Safari label which, although relatively successful in Europe, was not as widely marketed or distributed in the U.S. Still, "Until the End of Time" made inroads at adult contemporary radio, peaking at number 8.

1996

In 1996, Jones invited Gramm to perform backing vocals on a cover version of "I Want to Know What Love Is" he was producing for the Australian singer Tina Arena.

The song went on to become a major hit again throughout Europe.

1997

In 1997, Gramm provided vocals for Christian rock band Petra's album entitled Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus.

In April 1997, on the eve of a Japan tour, Gramm was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and underwent surgery.

He continued to work with Jones throughout his illness.
