The creative force behind platinum-selling hard rock combo Foreigner, English guitarist/composer Mick Jones first earned notice during the early '60s as a member of Nero and the Gladiators, which he followed with stints in Wonderwheel, Spooky Tooth, and the Leslie West Band. He formed Foreigner in 1976 with multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald and singer Lou Gramm. Jones and Gramm began collaborating on songs, co-authoring the smash "Cold as Ice" from the band's best-selling 1977 eponymous debut LP. Foreigner proved inescapable in the years to follow, reeling off an impressive series of hits including "Hot Blooded," "Double Vision," "Urgent," "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and the chart-topping power ballad "I Want to Know What Love Is." While on hiatus from the group, Jones released his 1989 self-titled solo debut. Despite losing Gramm to a solo career, Foreigner returned in 1991 with Unusual Heat; Gramm came back for 1993's Mr. Moonlight.
