The English guitarist Mick Jones founded the band in New York in 1976 with the American singer Lou Gramm. A line-up of British and American players gave it the name.
Their 1977 debut album produced “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice”. “Hot Blooded”, “Urgent” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You” followed.
“I Want to Know What Love Is”, recorded with a gospel choir, reached number one in Britain and America in 1985. The band entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024.
Before New York, Jones played in London bands, Spooky Tooth among them. Kelly Hansen has fronted Foreigner since 2005, singing the catalogue Gramm first recorded.
Jones and Gramm wrote “Cold as Ice” and “Juke Box Hero” together.
