I remember hearing Foreigner's "Cold As Ice" for the first time on
770 WABC AM in New York (before it became Talk Radio). I had built a small crystal radio from an
electronics kit and 770 was about the only station it would receive. The song came on and I
instantly fell in love! The combination of the background vocals and piano motif was incredible!
The next year, on what was WPLJ FM in New York, I heard "Double Vision" while
tooling around with an old Lafayette stereo in my father's workshop. Again fell in love! The
arpeggio keyboard riff was entrancing! From those days as an 11 year old on, I've enjoyed
Foreigner's music, right up to their most current effort, "Mr.
Moonlight". Foreigner has highlighted numerous events in my life and continues to
do so. My heart felt thanks to the band. I wish them many years of success!
