On Wednesday night (September 21st), Journey will celebrate the 50th anniversary of recording its classic 1983 ballad “Faithfully,” which will be the featured track on the ABC sitcom, The Goldbergs.
Journey keyboardist and the song’s writer Jonathan Cain said in a statement: “It’s truly an honor for me and my bandmates to have ‘Faithfully’ featured in the season premiere of The Goldbergs. We’re big fans of the show and hope our fans enjoy hearing one of our biggest hits in the episode. We’re looking forward to watching the episode.”
“Faithfully” was the second single released from Journey’s 1983 Frontiers album. The track narrowly missed the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, peaking at Number 12. Jonathan Cain has gone on record as saying he dreamt the melody to the song before he wrote it.
The Goldbergs, featuring “Faithfully” airs on Wednesday, September 21st at 8:30 PM on ABC.
