"I Want to Know What Love Is," Foreigner, 1984

"I Want to Know What Love Is" is a song by the British-American rock band Foreigner.  The "Lou" reference is to Lou Gramm.

Grok gives me a helping hand,

The X post shows a classic live performance of Foreigner (with Lou Gramm on vocals in a yellow tank top and bandana) performing"I Want to Know What Love Is" alongside a gospel choir in white robes (likely the New Jersey Mass Choir). This matches well-known 1984 footage from around the time the song was a massive hit from their album Agent Provocateur.

The song itself was released in late 1984 and featured the New Jersey Mass Choir on the studio recording (and often live). Videos and posts of this exact energetic stadium-style performance with the choir are commonly dated to 1984.
