Robert Fleischman

Fleischman, originally the frontman of Los Angeles band Shatterminx in 1975, is perhaps best known as the lead singer for the rock band Journey from June until October 1977, between the group's albums, Next and Infinity. He appeared in live concert performances with Journey and co-wrote and recorded numerous studio demo tracks during the band's early writing sessions for the upcoming album, Infinity. Three of those co-written tracks appear on the album: "Anytime", "Wheel in the Sky" (reaching #57 on the Billboard charts), and "Winds of March". The only officially released Journey song featuring Fleischman's vocals is "For You" which can be found on Journey's box-set release, Time3. Fleischman also re-recorded it, as "All for You", for his 1979 solo album Perfect Stranger. He may have also contributed to the track "Velvet Curtain" (also found on Time3) which was later re-written as "Feeling That Way" and credited to Aynsley Dunbar, Steve Perry, and Gregg Rolie. While former Journey manager Herbie Herbert stated that he was fired for personality differences, Fleischman maintains that he was already signed to another manager, Barry Fey, and left Journey over management complications but remained friends with the band. …
