This was a monster hit back in (1984) for Foreigner. When Motown had their 50th anniversary special back in 1985. This was the song all the participants who performed in the special sang to end the show. It was one of the highest rated programs ever in television history. Awesome!

This song brings back a flood of memories. I remember driving home from work and this track came on the radio. I pulled into my car port and stayed in my car until the song ended. There was NO WAY that I could not hear the whole song. To this day I get chills hearing and now seeing this song. Thanks for reacting to it. Take care.

I have a similar story. I was actually walking to the bowling alley a couple blocks away listening to my walkman when this song debuted here on local radio. It stopped me in my tracks. I knew I was listening to a future classic on my first listen. Crazy how music brings back memories of specific times and dates.

@@carlgibbons5777 There are, of course, other things such as a specific smell that can bring back memories but music does it the best. I can hear a song and remember things that I had not thought about for over 50 years. Take care.

I remember this song so clearly, and the feelings it brings up for me never change. Lou Gramm's vocals are so perfect, and using the choir was a choice move. For me, it always feels like dreamy nighttime. The TV show "Miami Vice" featured so many current, well known songs, and this was one of them. It's forever entwined with that time and place.

Whew! I’ve heard it many times, but I got to me again. Especially with the video. Yes, when you hear it on the radio, you stay there through the whole song. The kind of song, where, if I’m parking the car and it comes on, I just sit there in the car listening to it until it’s over.

Lou Gramm is one of the best rock singers that ever existed. I had the pleasure of seeing him live with Foreigner (with opening act The Doobie Brothers) back in the mid 90s, and he was just as amazing and impressive live. What a concert that was, Foreigner and The Doobie Brothers on the same bill 😁😁

I love this song, but it has a bittersweet history for the band. It's the song that split up the band. Mick Jones (guitar) and Lou Gramm (vocals) worked on it, but then Mick decided he was going to keep 100 percent of the song - not the normal way they work together. Those two wrote most of the catalog together. This hurt Lou enough that he stopped contributing the the writing, left after the next album, and the band was basically over at that point. There are still hard feelings today.

#1 in the UK and US in 1985, knocked Do They Know It's Christmas (UK) and Like A Virgin (US) out of those positions (Foreigner's biggest hit, 3 AM inspiration by a Higher Power? per Mick Jones) with the New Jersey Mass Choir, Jennifer Holliday and Thompson Twins Keyboardist Tom Bailey. The music video played on MTV during its Golden Age. Absolutely Beautiful, Meaningful, with the Strongest and Right Emotions! :)

The lyrics are also powerful. This song is so heartfelt and the choir gives it a gospel vibe. As someone who's been through so much turmoil in his life I find so much to identify with in this song. I'll be 49 next week. I'm so lonely and alone. Looking for love and not finding it leaves you tired and drained. I do hope it will come around someday. I so want to know what love is finally. I think I've earned it.

They have another great ballad called “I Don’t Want To Live Without You” which was written a couple years after this song. “Feels Like The First Time”, “Long Way From Home”, “Hot Blooded”, “Double Vision”, “Head Games”, “Juke Box Hero”, “Urgent”, “Waiting For A Girl Like You” are a couple other songs to rock out to! 🤟🤟🤟

Hey there ... Just wanted to say how much I loved this reaction ... AND ... to tell you where they got the name of the band. There were 6 original members in the group, 3 from the UK and 3 from America so someone figured that, no matter where in the world they were, at least half of them would always be foreigners. BTW, this IS one of my favorites songs too 😉🌹.

Foreigner had a very successful run of hit songs from the mid-70's to the mid-80's. "I Want To Know What Love Is" is one of their best power ballads and their only song that reached #1 on the pop charts. Foreigner is one of my favorite rock bands during that time-frame. Other Foreigner songs that highly recommend you try are "Waiting For A Girl Like You" , "Cold As Ice", "Double Vision", "Urgent", "Feels Like The First Time", "Hot Blooded" and "Juke Box Hero".

Excellent comments, M&D ! Can I make a suggestion (this from a guy in the UK). Could you checkout ABBA's 'The Day Before You Came' official video? This was their very last song before they broke up in 1982. I think it's probably their best one. Its whole concept is brilliant and the storytelling is superb. It also has a driving tango beat and the operatic backing vocals (by Frida) to Agnetha's main vocal are haunting. Go on, give it a go!!!!
