Foreigner 4 ) 1981
The Fabulous Vinyl LifeYou are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality. 4, also known as Foreigner 4, is the 4th studio album by the British-American rock band Foreigner, released on July 3, 1981 on Atlantic Records. Several singles from the album were hits, including "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke Box Hero". The album's name signifies that it is the band's 4th studio album and also the fact that the band's membership had reduced from 6 to 4 members. Musically, it showed Foreigner shifting from hard rock to more accessible mainstream rock and pop music. The cover for 4 was modeled after an old fashioned film leader. The album was a success worldwide, holding the #1 position on the Billboard album chart for a total of 10 weeks. It eventually sold over 6 million copies in the U.S. alone. Foreigner: Lou Gramm: lead vocals, percussion Mick Jones: keyboards, guitars, backing vocals Rick Wills: bass, backing vocals Dennis Elliott: drums, backing vocals 🔘 Side 1: Night Life Juke Box Hero Break It Up Waiting for a Girl Like You Luanne 🔘 Side 2: Urgent I'm Gonna Win Woman in Black Girl on the Moon Don't Let Go553 views 1 comment -
