  • Black Sheep was an American, Rochester, New York-based, 1970s rock music band, one of vocalist Lou Gramm's early working bands (it followed Poor Heart, which broke up c. 1970). The group, which had released the single "Stick Around" in 1974, the album Black Sheep in 1975, and the album Encouraging Words in late 1975, was no longer performing when Gramm was invited by Mick Jones to join the band Foreigner in 1976. Don Mancuso and Ron Rocco were later members of Cheater, a local hard rock band from Rochester that released a 10-inch record entitled Ten Cent Love Affair in 1980 on Mallard Records. Black Sheep's bass player Bruce Turgon played on Lou Gramm's solo albums in the late 1980s (which also featured contributions from another Black Sheep alumnus, guitarist Don Mancuso) and joined Gramm in one of Foreigner's later incarnations, in 1992.

  • Black Sheep es una banda de banda de rock progresivo formada a mediados de los años 70 oriunda de Nueva York, Estados Unidos. Es principalmente recordada porque el vocalista de la banda Lou Gramm, sería el cantante de la exitosa banda Foreigner de los años 80. Gramm había estado anteriormente en una banda llamada Poor Heart a principios de los años 70. Sin embargo, por el poco progreso que hubo allí formó Black Sheep con el bajista Bruce Turgon (que también se uniría a Foreigner) y su hermano menor Richard, que tocaba la guitarra. La banda logró un contrato discográfico con Capitol Records y editó dos álbumes, un debut homónimo (1975) y Encouraging Words (1976). Pero la vida del grupo sería corta. Cuando una noche les tocó abrir un show de Kiss, un accidente de tráfico destruyó todo el equipo de la banda, y no había dinero para nuevo equipo. En segundo lugar, la banda perdió su contrato. Poco después, Gramm recibió una llamada telefónica de Mick Jones, quién había sido guitarrista de Spooky Tooth. Jones invitó a Gramm a unirse a un nuevo grupo que estaba formando, Foreigner y Black Sheep oficialmente se disolvió.​ (es)
