No. 1 Billboard Pop Hit: “I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner.

Although Foreigner had been creating hits for almost ten years prior, this was the group’s first No. 1 song.

So let’s take a look at this number one: I Want To Know What Love Is.

In my book, though, Foreigner – my favorite band during my middle school years – scored higher with earlier songs.

These are videos and live performances of some of my favorites:
