FOREIGNER
Foreigner is a British-American rock band, originally formed in 1976 by veteran English musician Mick Jones and fellow Briton and ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald along with American vocalist Lou Gramm. Their biggest hit single, “I Want to Know What Love Is”, topped the UK and US Charts among others. They are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time with worldwide sales of more than 80 million records, including 37.5 million albums in the United States alone. (More from Wikipedia)
There are two other medleys that were released in the wake of the hit song “Stars on 45 Medley” (Beatles medley). On what is probably his biggest hit album, In 3-D, “Weird Al” Yankovic put together a hilarious medley called “Polkas on 45” where he performed a wildly wide-ranging medley (all while frantically playing the accordion) that ranged from Deep Purple, to Devo, to the Doors, to Foreigner, to Iron Butterfly, and even to Lawrence Welk.

Trillion was quickly signed by Epic Records after its formation and went to work on their first album. Their producer, Gary Lyons had just put together Foreigner’s first album, Foreigner.
