In his acceptance speech, Gramm said: “First, I’d like to thank all of my former bandmates: Mick Jones, Ian McDonald, Al Greenwood, Dennis Elliott, Ed Gagliardi and Rick Wills for 30-plus years of great music and a wild ride. Now, right from the start, Mick and I hit it off in our first songwriting session. The chemistry for many of our biggest hits was the Jones-Gramm collaboration. Although the band went through some changes as time went on, I believe the original band encompassed what FOREIGNER was all about. As I think back about those times, I’m convinced that Ian McDonald and Ed Gagliardi, who have passed on to a better place, were pivotal players and personalities in FOREIGNER’s early success. Lastly, I’d like to close by thanking my friend and songwriting partner Mick Jones. Along with the many triumphs and accolades, we didn’t always agree about FOREIGNER’s musical directions, but all told we were very fortunate to have been in FOREIGNER together, and our music continues to stand the test of time.”
