Second Cup Cafe: Foreigner

Band Performs Songs From Its New Release, "No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner"

(CBS)  The year 1976 was splendid for Foreigner, which would become one of the most popular rock bands in the world.

Foreigner took the '70s and '80s by storm with hits ranging from “Cold As Ice," “Hot Blooded,” “Urgent” to “Jukebox Hero,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You” and “I Want To Know What Love is,” encapsulating emotions of their time.

Whether fans were "cold as ice" or "hot-blooded," Foreigner managed to find the right temperature to keep the hits coming.

The band, now made up of Mick Jones, Jason Bonham, Kelly Hansen, Tom Gimbel, Jeff Pilson and Jeff Bluestein, is bringing back the nostalgia with the release "No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner."

Foreigner stopped by The Early Show's "Second Cup Cafe" Saturday to take a walk down Memory Lane and to show off their new tunes.

The new formation of the band is made up of an eclectic mix of musicians: Jones, the old faithful, original band member; Bonham, the son of Led Zeppelin's drummer (John Bonham); Pilson, a member of the '80s band; Dokken; Hansen, lead vocalist of the '80s band, Hurricane; and Gimbel and Bluestein, both Berklee College of Music alums.

Both Bonham and Pilson have even graced the big screen, in the 2001 Warner Brothers film "Rock Star," alongside actors Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston.

Thirty years later, Foreigner may be reconfigured with some new blood, but they've proven that their music is timeless.

The original band members were Jones' fellow Brits Ian McDonald and Dennis Elliott, and Americans Lou Gramm, Alan Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi.

"My initial musical vision for Foreigner was to combine Blues and R&B with British Rock and make it sound soulful and authentic," Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter/performer/producer Jones said on the band's official Web site. "I’d grown up in England and had the English influence, but I was also inspired by many elements of American music, from Mississippi Blues to Country and Western. Foreigner was the vehicle to get that musical blend across.”
