Perry's appearance and transition to a more popular style resulted in Infinity album, which was released in 1978 and became platinum. That is how Steve Perry joined the band – his clean, tenor voice became a huge part of Journey's success. At last, Columbia Records ordered them to change music style and also hire new vocalist. But their first efforts, such as Look Into The Future (1976) and Next (1977), did not gain huge success – Journey members even had to take singing lessons to improve their state.
At first they served as a backup group for established artists, but quickly abandoned this status with developing their own style, something between jazz and fusion.
Journey's history started in 1973 when musicians who accompanied Carlos Santana decided to establish their own band and moved to San Francisco.
With fourteen albums released, 100 million disks sold and songs contributed as soundtracks nearly for everything from movies to advertisements and sport events, Journey can be called one of the most relevant rock bands.
