Journey, the power ballad rock group that dominated the charts in the 1980s, stopped traffic
on a stretch of Hollywood when hundreds of fans turned out to see the band unveil its Hollywood Walk of Fame star.Present
at the sidewalk ceremony were guitarist Neal Schon and bassist Ross Valory, who were in the group's original 1973 lineup,
as well as keyboardist Jonathan Cain, drummer Deen Castronovo and lead singer Steve Augeri, who replaced Steve Perry in the
mid-1990s.
Perry, who was not scheduled to appear, showed up on his own, organizers said. "No one ever
mentions the unsung heroes, the road crew who ... made us look good," he said.
Over a 30-year period, Journey released 18 albums, selling 50 million copies on the strength
of radio hits such as "Don't Stop Believin,' " "Who's Crying Now," and "Open Arms," which were fueled by Perry's operatic,
high-flying vocal style. -- ASSOCIATED PRESS
