Journey had Gregg Rolie on keyboards and he along with guitarist Neil Schon founded Journey when they both split from Santana. All the early Santana hits were sung by Gregg Rolie, "Black Magic Woman" to name one. In '81 Gregg quit Jorney because he thought they were becoming too pop, so guess who Journey asked to join them, Jonathan Cain who had just toured with them in the Babys the year before.

Gregg Rolie with Journey



Jonathan Cain from the Babys to Journey



Here's a good Babys yacht rock song, "Everytime I think of You"



Here's John Waite doing Missing You live this year in St. Louis

Fun fact: Jonathan Cain is married to President Trump's "spiritual adviser."

...and Neil Schon married the woman who with her husband crashed an Obama White House party in 2005 without an invite and got 15 minutes of fame. She then went onto one of those Housewives shows. She had dated Neil Schon 20 years earlier but dropped him and married this guy. She then decided years later to leave her husband and showed up on a Journey tour bus and her and Neil have been together ever since.
