America needs to wake up and appreciate this man! He's the best vocalist of all time. A national treasure

Seventy-two-year-old Steve just dropping in to remind everybody he's still the best living singer in the world

I'm at the doctor's office with my mom who has dementia. These songs are calming and peaceful to her. THANK YOU Steve 😢

Mr. Perry, I am a hospice nurse. My name is Elizabeth. I have been so moved by your strength and willingness to open yourself up to the world again following the loss of your soulmate. I wish you all the best this life has to offer you, Thank you for making the world a brighter place with your beautiful voice. You are a blessed soul.

Still listening to this in 2023....Absolutely love Steven Perry

What a romantic version of this classic - just beautiful.❤

2023. Good to have you back Steve

Steve Perry’s singing instantly brings us back to the good ol 80s…

A voice that is quiet and beautiful.

I'm going now my love..I will miss you eternally..enjoy your life..stay loved..love God.. and never be alone I pray.. forevermore 💕

"Beloved" doesn't apply to many in entertainment. Nat King Cole, Ella, Mel Torme. And it applies to Steve.

美しいメロディと美しい声✨ 美しい心を持ったsteveさんが大好きです。ありがとう🕊️ 🍀Take care.🍀

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE book a tour. We MISS YOU SO MUCH. I love your voice and you've still got it! WE LOVE YOU! 😊

Steve’s late partner Kelly would have loved this! He’s bringing so much joy in this LP. God bless you Steve Perry.🙏

I never felt so emotional n any Christmas songs B4.. Steve Perry s the goat rock and all🎧❣️

My first Christmas without my father... Your music will make the day brighter. Merry Christmas

I have only ten of my favorite artists that I want to meet and its down to 3.I can honestly say that Mr.Steve Perry is number one...I still hope and don't stop believing!!!

Love his voice! One of the greatest of our time!

The gift you have given us is priceless. You deserve support and respect for all the fabulous music you have given us. It has made such a difference in so many of our lives. I don't know if you really realize how many people adore you! You are a kindhearted soul with the best voice ever given to anyone. We love you, Steve Perry. We hope you sing forever!

Christmas is now complete.

Hi Steve… my maiden name is Perry. My father was a bass man, he started out with Waylon Jennings back when they both went to school in Floydata, Texas. He met my mom when she was 15, she was singing back up for Brenda Lee. It was such a fairytale relationship, music was everything to them both. I used to imitate my mom when I was 4 or 5 with a hairbrush in the mirror … until one day, she heard me and instantly decided we have to make a reel-to-reel tape to send to my uncle who was in the Navy during Vietnam. The only song I really knew all the words to, was Harper Valley PTA. The guys on his ship asked to play that darn tape all the time, they said it kept them grounded with hope… not what I intended, I was only 5! Yes, he came home, but he was completely different uncle. My parents also divorced when I was 9. But it was my mom that left. I was so crushed and felt diminished, more upset that she never asked me to go with her. My father raised my brother and I. Music became something I could escape into to. I believed my mom would come back, if she could hear my voice. Needless to say, it didn’t happen like that. I had a few favorite artists, but by 16 I was obsessed with Gloria Estefan. Her music carried me through jr high school, her songwriting with her husband was phenomenal! Then my boyfriend at the time introduced me to Journey. Whatever was missing in my life seemed to dissolve when I would listen to you sing. I got so lost in your music. Your album For the Love of Strange Medicine was such an influential part of finding my mom. But she had passed away a year before the album was released. I just didn’t know it. I just want to say thank you so much for making new music now. It has brought me back to the incredible memories of my mom. I loved her so much. Thank you!❤️

I love Steve Perry and I went to see him in 1980 at the Sports Arena in San Diego. Sorry I had to leave pretty early on because I had already been to the Stepenwolf at Mission Beach all day. Oh yeah. I'm single if you are looking. Christian. R. Joyce Kinney

As I listened to this album I literally had tears in my eyes!!! Literally! Steve's voice on this album is incredibly soulful. My absolute favorite :)

'Auld Lang Syne' is powerful. Best version I have ever heard.

So beautiful.... Sure wish you would do a concert in Your little hometown we miss you

I hope Santa is good to you this year and you get to go home and have the best Christmas ever. 🎄🎄🎄

I know I have already left a comment but I am up watching Hallmark Christmas Countdown and started crying thinking about my grandfather who is a very special person in my life...At 63 years old he started raising me at age 8 along with my brother and sister. He did everything for me and brother and sister. My grandmother taught me how to decorate a Christmas Tree...at a young age.she also taught me how to wrap Christmas gifts. When you mentioned that you were teleported back to a time...where you put tinsel on the Christmas Tree...I did the same thing with my grandmother. My grandmother and grandfather, had an artificial Christmas tree so I was the one who put the Christmas tree branches in each slot according to color.and me and my grandmother would check the lights, and then I would follow my grandmother's guidance...Another memory I remember... my grandmother getting Christmas Cards that she had saved from other people...and having me tape them on the door and wall as Christmas decorations I was raised by my grandparents...my Mom and Dad got divorced when I was 9 years old...my mother couldn't take care of us because of mental health reasons...so my beautiful grandfather got me and my brother and sister out of a foster home and kept us all three kids together at age 63 years...when I think of Christmas Time my grandparents....the memories flow in..like leaving Milk and cookies for Santa....the night before...and we had a tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve....and Oh in the days when it was safer I would go Christmas caroling with my church through the neighborhood and to people that needed to be lifted up....I remember egg nog too. I always enjoyed Christmas Time my beautiful grandparents...always took care of us kids...and made sure us grandkids had a wonderful Christmas Time....and would sometimes charge our Christmas gifts on a credit card because they didn't have much money....so they did the best they could....I started crying thinking of my grandfather...I miss and love him....he brought joy and love and compassion into my life and he was funny too. So my question is what special moments do you remember growing up about your grandparents during Christmas Time? Funny how when they pass on.... we remember things they said or taught us growing up...so thankful for my grandparents and also thankful for you....your my inspiration thank you Stephen for touching my heart and soul with your beautiful Angelica voice....you are a beautiful soul inside and out....God bless you from Angela... I write songs and poetry and create music I even created some Christmas Music for you to honor you...back in November 2019....So grateful for you....you have touched millions of lives....with your sweet spirit and your gifts and talents with us. Sorry..... I wrote so much but I just had to share memories of my grandparents....So. What precious moments do you remember growing up about your grandparents During the holidays?

The Best forever

Steve Perry has one of the most beautiful and iconic voices. And to hear him sing again is just wonderful.

It would be nice to have a new CD like this every season. I would love to hear Steve sing O Holy Night. That is a very hard song to sing but I know he can do it.

What a treat to hear Steve sing holiday tunes.

🎂Be happy and be good to yourself...

Advise from a sunflower. You are bright, sunny, positive and outstanding in your field!

Thank you Steve Perry. Beautiful music for our hearts and souls.

Very good calm lyrical music. You can listen to it sitting in a comfortable rocking chair by the fireplace, throwing a soft blanket over your shoulders and with a cup of hot tea and a piece of homemade cake, immerse yourself in memories or thoughts. ☕🍰

Beautiful night and Beautiful voice Thank You for I love you. beautiful StevePerry !

The voice...still the best!!!

Steve, I don't know if you'll read this? My wife and I would like to thank you for bringing such joy in our lives with your music!

We missed this voice!!

Aww. Steve. Perry was always my favorite singer😍😍

Absolutely beautiful! I have missed your amazing voice

Quanta calmaria, essa voz com acompanhamento do piano ficou perfeita, grande Steve Perry The voice👍👏👏👏👏🇧🇷👊

One of my good friends last post on Facebook was of feeling that way video from infinity. I told him I heard steve was coming out with a Christmas album he was so excited two days later he was admitted in the hospital with Covid This album dropped last night I sat and listen to it live right after I got a phone call that he had passed away. Heartbroken the only thing I could think to do was come back and listen to this again Steve And journey got me through some very hard times throughout my life. Doing it again rest in peace brother. 🙏❤️💔❤️‍🩹🎤🎼

I’m a big fan ofSteve Perry since from the 80’s, love you forever!! 😍🥰❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

That is the most beautiful version of Auld Lang Syne Ive ever heard. Made me cry. Thanks Steve.

Christmas and Steve Perry! What a Heavenly combination!

Wow, those vocals make even the biggest grinches smile and the lonely ones have hope love might still be out there somewhere! Could listen to him 24hours a day!!🎶🎼🎧❤

I have very mixed feelings on this album. For traces as well. This Christmas album does remind me of childhood and past holidays with family. It does make you want to curl up in front of a warm fire. Its beautiful and of course his voice. So I will just leave this here. Hope everyone here has a happy holiday and a great new year

Your voice is magic. Absolutely beautiful. Almost hypnotic- it puts the listener in a lovely warm magical place. I think you preserved your own unique wonderful voice by retiring and not singing for so long. Your arrangements here are just lovely! You add so many magical touches! I think your amazing gift is that your voice goes right to the listener's heart. Because you are a kind warm sincere person that makes it a lovely experience. You could cover Cole Porter and Nat King Cole's songs so beautifully! Jazz - the 30's type smoky night club songs. You could tear those up!! A youtube channel called "Randy Lessley Music" has a recording of you singing "Summertime" with your band in a club in 1974 that proves my point! Don't wear yourself out touring for this new album! We aren't getting any younger! I'm 71 and I'm sure not! 😂.

I just love your voice Steve! Journey has always been my favorite band and your voice has always truly been that to what made it truly special. I refuse to listen to any journey recording that doesn’t have your voice, and I can truly tell. Truly a gift from God. I’m so happy that you continue to share it and continue in your journey in life with such a beautiful and mesmerizing gift. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music and God bless you! 💕

I’m a big fan of Steve Perry from long time a go, love you dear Steve! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just conquering the world again. All in a day's work for Steve Perry. What another treasure. Just bought my copy from Target. I almost did a double take when me and my red cart strolled past it. Amazing.

Do you actually know just how much you are loved? You have been such a big part of my life with your music and I am forever grateful to you for the gift. I just hope one day I can meet you face to face. It's the only thing on my bucket list 😊.

Sii, claramente lo vuelvo a decir...su voz es fantástica Mr. Perry, realmente una bendición de Dios sin exagerar...escucho éstas nuevas canciones y la calidad vocal sigue ahí...un abrazo.

October 2022 finds me here in the beautiful voice of Steve Perry ❤

20 years was Michael Boltons Christmas Album my favorite, now i have a new one, thanks Steve, the best singer ever, a great fan from Germany

Love you Steve Perry, I shall find you standing under the mistletoe! Love from Kalamazoo!

Buying the LP and CD. One of my favs in the eighties, and now, my grand daughter will learn and listen to Steve, too. ❤

OMG! Thank you thank you Steve, This puts a little light on these dark times, Still the BEST Vocalist ever

Now this is Christmas music I can appreciate.. We get tired of the same old versions every year and to be blessed with Steve's gorgeous vocals is a dream!! Love it so much!

Beautiful music, beautiful voice greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤

Wore out my Journey Infinity Album in late 70's along with a bunch of turntable needles. It was the golden age with bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Rod Stewart, Rush, Van Halen, Kansas, Bob Seger, Chicago, Journey...will never be another time like it in music history. Hearing Steve's voice again is like reuniting with an old friend... it's just right.
