The success of Glee and the songs

An article on the success of Glee and the songs on the show with quotes from Steve.
Steve Perry was skeptical when the producers of a television pilot about a high school glee club sought permission to use his band’s signature song in their show; the former frontman for the classic rock group Journey is protective of his legacy. “I want to be able to put these songs somewhere with good conscience that they’re not going to be abused,” Perry said in a recent interview. “I don’t want to see that happen.” He needn’t have worried. Perry overcame his doubts, agreed to license the song to the producers of ” Glee,” and a year later “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” has reached a new generation of music fans.
Perry said he loves the “Glee” version of “Don’t Stop Believin.’” “They really worked hard to make it their own,” he said. What’s more, “it’s actually brought people’s attention to go check out the original. … It’s something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime.”
This man is loyal to his music. I respect that he feels that way. His music was such a part of him. I hope he will someday do all his fans the honor of performing again. Until then…………..we have YouTube.LOL
