Lou Gramm
Born on May 2, 1950, in Rochester, NY, American rock vocalist and songwriter Lou Gramm began his musical journey in 1970 when he formed the band Black Sheep with his brother Richard on guitar and Bruce Turgon on bass. His career took a significant turn in 1976 when he was selected as the lead singer for the hard rock band Foreigner, chosen from a pool of approximately 50 auditioning vocalists by guitarist and songwriter Mick Jones.
Gramm's tenure with Foreigner spanned thirteen years, during which the band enjoyed numerous Top 10 hits. However, in 1989, after achieving some solo success, he departed from the group and subsequently formed Shadow King in 1991, a project that was short-lived. He made his return to Foreigner in 1993.
In the spring of 1997, Gramm faced a health challenge when he was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. Following surgery, he underwent a year of rehabilitation and radiation treatment, ultimately making a full recovery and rejoining Foreigner for touring in 1999.
In 2003, Gramm once again left Foreigner and, in January 2004, he established the Lou Gramm Band, which included his brothers Richard on guitars and bass, Ben on drums, along with Don Mancuso on guitar and Andy Knoll on keyboards.
In recognition of his contributions to music, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013. Lou Gramm is the brother of Richard Grammatico and Ben Grammatico Jr., and the son of Ben Grammatico Sr.

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:
SEALED/Mint:
Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.
Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.
NM (Near Mint):
Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.
EX (Excellent):
Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.
Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.
VG+ (Very Good Plus):
Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.
Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.
VG (Very Good):
Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips.
Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.
G+ (Good Plus):
Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.
Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.
G (Good):
Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.
Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.
F (Fair):
Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip
Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
