Lou Gramm (born Louis Andrew Grammatico; May 2, 1950) is an American rock vocalist, and songwriter, best known for being the original lead singer for the British-American rock band Foreigner.
Louis Andrew Grammatico was born in Rochester, New York, the son of Nikki (Masetta), a singer, and Bennie Grammatico, a band leader and trumpeter. He attended Gates-Chili High School in Rochester, graduating with the class of 1968. He is also an alumnus of Monroe Community College in Rochester.
Gramm began his musical career in high school playing in local Rochester bands, including St. James Infirmary (later The Infirmary), PHFFT, and Poor Heart. Gramm then went on to sing, play drums and eventually become front man for the band Black Sheep. Black Sheep was the first American band signed to the Chrysalis label, which released their first single, "Stick Around" (1973). Black Sheep played in nightclubs in Rochester and Buffalo, New York, including McVan's, formerly at Niagara Street and Hertel Avenue. Soon after this initial bit of success, Black Sheep signed with Capitol Records, releasing two albums in succession [Black Sheep (1974) and Encouraging Words (1975)]. They were the opening act for Kiss when an icy accident with their equipment truck on the 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 music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.
"I Want To (Do Everything for You)" is a 1965 R&B hit written and performed by Joe Tex. The single was his second number one on the R&B chart in the U.S., where it stayed for three weeks. "I Want To (Do Everything for You)" was also Joe Tex's second Top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song has been covered by Huey Lewis and The News, Nazareth, and others.

Mick Jones Lou Gramm Bruce Turgon Cold as Ice Feel like the first time Urgent
Urgent lyrics You're not shy you get around You wanna fly don't want your feet on the ground. You stay up you don't come down You wanna live you wanna move to the sound. Got fire in your veins Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain Your desire is insame You can't stop until you do it again. Sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes Maybe you're thinking of some other guy; But I know yes I know how to treat you right - That's why you call me in the middle of the night. You say it's urgent - so urgent U-u-u-urgent - just you wait and see How urgent our love can be - it's urgent! You play tricks on my mind You're everywhere but you're so hard to find You're not warm or sentimental You're so extreme you can be so temperamental. But I'm not ...
Foreigner em Deer Creek em Noblesville, Indiana em 19 de julho de 1993 - LIVE. A música foi gravada em 1981. Informação: - Em Abril de 1997, e na véspera da banda sair para uma turnê no Japão, Lou Gramm, vocalista da Banda Foreigner, foi diagnosticado com um tipo de tumor cerebral chamada craniofaringioma. Embora o tumor fosse benigno, a cirurgia resultou em danos a sua glândula hipófise. Além disso, o programa de recuperação tinha causado a Gramm excessivo ganho de peso e também afetou sua resistência e vóz, mesmo assim ele continuou a trabalhar com Jones ao longo de sua doença, e em 1999 Gramm estava de volta em turnê com Foreigner tocando em festivais de verão e pequenos mercados até o final de 2002.

Foreigner's album "Unusual Heat" was first Foreigner album not to feature Lou Gramm on vocals. Johnny Edwards capably adds raw rock fervor to the Foreigner. Several excellent songs like "Lowdown and Dirty", "Safe in My Heart", "I'll Fight For You".

Crack In The Shell warmed the stage for legendary songwriter and vocalist Lou Gramm on October 17th, 2014.
I was standing there, watching her
While she would shoot arrows at my heart
I know there's no stopping her now
She's out to get me and boy she knows how
Like a landslide, all power going down
She took the ground out from under my feet
I knew this girl would get me right here
Where happiness and heartache meet
Chorus:
I'm givin' you a heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, and I don't want to run this race
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
I let it go, at full speed
When in love it seems
You're invincible at heart
Everyday I got deeper in it
I was a victim right from the start
I didn't know, the minute she was sure
Her poison arrow had hit the bull's eye
She turned and said my dreams are out of line
And stayed around to watch them die
chorus
What you've been getting isn't always what you see
Love has many faces now, but in your dreams of dreams
You do believe in holding on, you got to let it go
I had enough, I stepped back
There's only so much that a man like me can take
This heart of mine is a fragile thing
Once it's in pieces there's nothing to break
Now she's crying, she's crying over me
She still can't get it thru her beautiful head
That pretty smile may fool somebody else
I'll tell you baby, all I see is red
chorus
She'll be gone in the morning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll be leaving you without a trace
Heartbreak warning, oh, oh, oh, oh
She's an angel with a dirty face
