One of my all-time favorite bands is Foreigner and it was on this date in 1977 that they released their self-titled debut. The album remains a classic featuring hits like “Cold As Ice”, “Feels Like The First Time”, and today’s Forgotten 45 “Long, Long Way From Home”.

The song reached #20 on the charts in early 1978 as the album sold over 5 million copies in the U.S., alone. The powerhouse combination of Mick Jones and Lou Gramm’s power vocals made Foreigner one of the most popular groups of the 70’s and 80’s.

Check out the the performance of today’s Forgotten 45 from Foreigner!
