While quite a few arena rock acts of the '70s found the transformation into the '80s quite difficult, several acts continued to flourish and enjoyed some of their biggest commercial success: Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, and especially Foreigner. Foreigner is a British-American hard rock band, originally formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran English musician Mick Jones and fellow Briton and ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald along with American vocalist Lou Gramm. 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 US alone. Their most popular song, "I Want to Know What Love Is", topped the United Kingdom and United States Charts
