Climie Fisher was a British pop duo formed by vocalist Simon Climie and former Naked Eyes keyboardist Rob Fisher. In 1987–88, they had two international hit singles: "Rise to the Occasion" and "Love Changes (Everything)".
Simon Climie and Rob Fisher met at Abbey Road Studios, where they were both performing as session musicians. The duo is best known for the 1987 hit single "Love Changes (Everything)" which won an Ivor Novello Award. It reached number 67 in the UK and, after a remix and re-release, number 2 in the UK, 12 in New Zealand, 24 in Australia, 7 in Germany, 8 in Switzerland, 15 in Austria, and 23 in the US, all in 1988.

Fahrenheit and The Seventh One are my and perhaps other fans born in the 50s to 90s favorite albums, which are led by Joseph Williams. They are also the most glorious moments in Joe’s career and are full of infinite personal charm. My evaluation and love for these two albums are no less than Toto IV, the ace album that has won countless honors.
This is also why I recently wanted to repackage Fahrenheit and The Seventh One, two famous rock albums that were quite popular at the time, in DSD 24bit Mastering sampling audio format, add some photos or computer wallpaper materials, and manually embed accurate lyrics into these music videos and combine them with the videos, then re-upload them and include them in the exclusive new album playlist. Later, you will see that I will upload some videos in 4K 60fps image format that have been re-produced based on the above concept.

Foreigner is a British-American rock band formed in New York City in 1976 by guitarist Mick Jones, vocalist Lou Gramm, drummer Dennis Elliott, keyboardist Al Greenwood, bassist Ed Gagliardi, and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald. Foreigner is among the best-selling bands of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding 80 million records, including 38 million in the US.
Jones came up with the band name because he, Elliott, and McDonald were British. At the same time, Gramm, Greenwood, and Gagliardi were American, meaning at least half the members would be considered foreigners regardless of the country they were in. In 1977, Foreigner released its self-titled debut album, the first of six consecutive albums to be certified multi-platinum and reach the Top 10 in the US. The album produced two US Top 10 singles, "Feels Like the First Time" and "Cold as Ice". Their 1978 Double Vision follow-up was successful and included two more US hits: "Hot Blooded" and the title track.
Rick Wills replaced Gagliardi on bass before Foreigner recorded their third album, Head Games (1979), which featured US Top 20 singles "Dirty White Boy" and the title track. After the departures of McDonald and Greenwood, reducing the band to a quartet, their next album, 4 (1981), hit No. 1 for 10 weeks in the US and became their breakthrough album in the UK, where it reached the Top 5. The album produced three hit singles: "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You", and "Juke Box Hero". In 1984, Foreigner released their fifth studio album, Agent Provocateur, which reached No. 1 in the UK and included their biggest hit single, "I Want to Know What Love Is". The song topped the charts in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, No. 3 in Germany, and the Top 10 in other countries.
After a break, Foreigner released Inside Information in 1987. Despite two more US Top 10 hits with "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want to Live Without You", it became their first album not to achieve multi-platinum certification or reach the Top 10 in the US. Since 1990, Foreigner has undergone lineup changes, including the departures of Elliott and Wills in 1991. Gramm left in 1990, returned in 1992, and departed again in 2003. Three studio albums—Unusual Heat (1991), Mr. Moonlight (1994), and Can't Slow Down (2009)—were not commercial successes. However, the 1992 greatest hits album, The Very Best ... and Beyond, achieved 2× platinum certification in the US and gold certification in the UK.
Since 2003, Jones has been the only founding member actively involved, though Foreigner has occasionally toured without him. Two founding members, Gagliardi and McDonald, died in 2014 and 2022. Since 2013, there have been quasi-reunion tours, concerts, and guest appearances featuring varying combinations of former members, including Gramm, Elliott, Wills, Greenwood, and McDonald. In 2024, Foreigner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

3 is the third studio album by singer Joseph Williams, released in 1997.
The album is not very well known, but it contains the very famous hit Goin' Home by Toto. In fact, the song was written by Joseph and David Paich in 1988, but the song was recorded in 1990 with Bobby Kimball on vocals and included in Toto's 1997 album Toto XX. The version of the song recorded by Joseph is not very different from the original; in fact, it is only moved a few keys lower than the original. In the album as guests, many of the members of Toto appear, including members and ex-members, including Steve Lukather, Mike Porcaro, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Bobby Kimball, and Fergie Frederiksen. Other guests in the studio are Bill Champlin, Jay Graydon, Mark Williams, James Harrah, Joey Carbone, Tony Franklin, Jennifer Condos, Paul Gordon, Dennis Matkosky, and Sherwood Ball. The song Man in Me is a song that the artist had originally written in 1992 for the voice of Peter Cetera. This song appears in Cetera's album World Falling Down; in Williams' version, the key and the bridge change. The last track is In My Life, a piece by The Beatles performed live by Joseph during a show on May 31, 1996, in Tokyo in a club called Desperado.

Simon Phillips' acclaimed predecessor of "Symbiosis" is an energetic and dynamic blend of jazz and rock. All songs have strong melodies and intriguing arrangements. This is not a drumming showcase, but a real band effort that leaves every instrument room to stretch out.
