Steve Perry has collaborated with the band, The Effect to record a new version of Journey’s “It Could Have Been You.” The Effect features Trevor Lukather – son of Toto‘s Steve Lukather on guitars, Nic Collins – son of Phil Collins on drums, and Steve Maggiora of Toto on keyboards.
Perry has known Trevor Lukather since he was about 9 years old. Blabbermouth.net quoted him to say: “One day we were talking about his new band, The Effect… He surprisingly mentioned ‘It Could Have Been You’ is one of his favorite tracks from that record, I told him I felt the same. I then said, why don’t you record it? He asked if I would sing on it if they did, I said… ‘Of course my most precious!'”
Perry says he always felt the song was “a diamond in the rough.” He posted on his socials: “I must say, singing on their powerful track brought out a vocal experience in me from years ago!”
