Since bursting onto the scene in the late 1970s, Journey has continued to inspire generations of fans with "Dont Stop Believin" and other hits. To commemorate the band's fiftieth anniversary, David Hamilton Golland unveils the band's true and complete story, incorporating exclusive interview material with band members.

When Steve Perry joined the jazz-blues progressive rock band Journey in 1977, they experienced a meteoric rise to the top, and in 1981, Escape hit #1. However, Perry's quest for control led to Journey's demise. Perry refused to tour, and the band lost their record contract and a significant portion of their audience. After the unlikely comeback of "Dont Stop Believin" in movies, television shows, and as an underdog sports anthem, a new generation discovered Journey. Now, with singer Arnel Pineda, they are once again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide.

A professional historian, Golland dispels some of the rehashed myths, delving deep into Journey's complex biography and also examining how race in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 1970s, Journey spoke to the darkness of white teenagers' lives as well as their hopes for a better future. Decades later, the band and their signature song remain classics.
