Steve Perry (real name - Stephen Ray Perry) is an American singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Journey. He was born on January 22, 1949.

If only one singer could be selected as the most identifiable with '80s arena rock, it would have to be Journey's Steve Perry. In addition to singing, Perry was also a drummer and involved in several different bands during the '60s/'70s, including such obscure local acts as the Nocturns, Dollar Bills, Sullies, Ice, Pieces, and Alien Project, the latter of which was on the verge of signing a recording contract when the group's bassist died in a car accident, promptly leading to the group's breakup.

In 2005, Perry produced a track on a solo album for former Ambrosia lead vocalist David Pack, titled “The Secret of Moving On”. Perry also provides background vocals for "A Brand New Start", among the many songs he and Pack co-wrote shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The album, released in September, 2005, includes covers of two of Pack's biggest hits with Ambrosia, "Biggest Part of Me" and "You're the Only Woman".

In Fall 2006, Perry's two solo projects Street Talk and For the Love of Strange Medicine (both featuring previously unreleased material) plus his Greatest Hits CD were remastered and re-released.

In a Q&A posted in December 2006, Perry indicated that Sony has approached him about releasing a collection of his music videos on DVD, and that while he enjoys producing other artists he currently has no solid plans to record a new album.

In August 2007, Go Kart records released GuFF's album Symphony of Voices which featured an unreleased Journey song called "I Can See It in Your Eyes" which was produced by Steve Perry. Perry also used his voice on the track.
