Foreigner

In 1985, when Foreigner performed "I Want To Know What Love Is" live at the Farm Aid concert, they were at a significant point in their career. This performance came shortly after the release of their highly successful album "Agent Provocateur" which was launched in December 1984. The album was a commercial triumph, featuring some of the band's most iconic songs, including the hit "I Want To Know What Love Is," which topped charts worldwide. The live performance at a charitable event like Farm Aid also underscored Foreigner's visibility and popularity during the mid-1980s, as they were one of the larger rock acts actively supporting agricultural reform and farmer rights. Additionally, the choice of the song for such a prominent event highlighted the band's ability to connect emotionally with their audience, both through their music and their participation in meaningful causes.
