It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

The bio there was not in fact a copy-and-paste, I did write it. I believe it surpasses the current intro, and it does not contain misinformation. I'd appreciate if you'd let the edit stay as it were. Thank you. 22:47, 20 July 2005 Loaded

OK. I've merged what was useful from the original article into yours. I've formatted your article in proper Wikipedia style, especially in terms of the intro. I've also done a general copyediting and links editing run over it. Wasted Time R 00:08, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

The article could use an image of Perry. It could also use a further discussion of the quality of his voice and his singing techniques, and also how he influenced other rock lead singers in the 1980s and beyond. Wasted Time R 00:24, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

It is also common knowledge that Steve Perry has a daughter who was born before his Journey days. He does, however values his privacy and does not discuss it.

I've removed "Steve Perry is the best singer in the world.". -Nick

"I Can See It In Your Eyes" is not an unreleased song, as stated in the August 2007 paragraph in the "Recent News" section. The song was released on the Japanese issue of Trial By Fire in 1996. This needs to be corrected.- Brian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.1.189 (talk) 10:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD for Alien Project

Editors may be interested in improving Alien Project, Perry's band before Journey, or participating in a discussion as to whether it should be deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alien Project (band). Bondegezou 16:26, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

It is also well known that Don't Stop Believin' is NOT about an old girlfriend as someone is saying it is. Read all the interviews Steve Perry has done on the song and Jonathon Cain has also said they wrote it in Detroit while looking out a hotel room, during the night.

[edit] Steve Perry's Mother's Name?

This article mentions Perry's father's name but not his mother's. Because of her influence on his musical career, I think it would be important to have her name in here somewhere.
