How
Corey JamesHOST
does that one go? That's a great question.
Lou GrammGUEST
And I was waiting to get back into the rock again.
Lou GrammGUEST
And one album later, we recorded I Want to Know What Love Is, which went number one around the world.
Lou GrammGUEST
And then we saw our live attendance start to dip because I think people were getting the impression we were turning into a ballad band.
Lou GrammGUEST
And I was very upset about that.
9 MINS LATER
Lou GrammGUEST
I envisioned girls that I dated, you know, in college and stuff.
Lou GrammGUEST
You know, you need something to give you that would you, would you, you know? Uh-huh.
Alec BaldwinHOST
And then you'd go in and you'd sing these songs, and when you'd sing them, did you have a sense? You know, when you do I Want to Know What Love Is, did you have a sense when you were finished that recording session? How many takes did you sing that song in? Do you remember? About three.
Alec BaldwinHOST
I swear to you.
Jeff PilsonGUEST
And we're finding that, yeah, the Latin versions, we've done four songs now, four of the classics.
Jeff PilsonGUEST
And the first one we did was I Want to Know What Love Is.
Jeff PilsonGUEST
And we did a duet with Joy Huerta from Jesse and Joy, who are a huge act, especially in Mexico.
Jeff PilsonGUEST
And that was a really tremendously fun experience.
Raul AmadorHOST
And again, music is the soundtrack of our lives.
Raul AmadorHOST
And so we all go back to, oh, yeah.
Raul AmadorHOST
Here's where I was when I was listening to Urgent or the I Want to Know What Love Is.
Raul AmadorHOST
I mean, these things fit our own existence.
Lou GrammSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
to think things over I better read between the lines In case I need it when I'm older mountain I must climb Feels like the world upon my shoulder Through the clouds I see love shine It keeps me warm as life grows colder In my life There's been heartache and pain I don't I can't stop now, I've traveled so far It looks like love has finally found me In my life There's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again I can't stop now I've traveled so far To change this lonely life You will love him
