Foreigner.
... Yes, Foreigner.
Everyone but everyone knows the rock ballad, "I Want to Know What Love Is," right?
What's more, with that colossal hit, Foreigner became one of the most celebrated bands of the 1980s' newbie "MTV Generation," and today consistently scores as one of the top-20 most-popular acts of all-time on classic-rock radio stations across the nation.
Foreigner sold out countless arenas for more than two decades, with hits including "Urgent," "Hot Blooded," "Jukebox Hero" and "Cold As Ice."
"I'm amazed that the songs do have that staying power," Foreigner founder, guitarist and chief songwriter Mick Jones recently told Billboard online. "I don't really listen to the old records a lot, so you tend to forget there are this many songs that made the kind of mark they have."

Percy Sledge
Sledge, a former blue-collar hospital nurse turned world-famous R&B crooner, will forever be associated with “When a Man Loves a Woman,” a pleading, soulful ballad he sings with wrenching anguish and passion. Heck, Sledge sings all of his songs that way. Catch him in Norman this weekend.
