I'm not that big a fan of Journey, but I'm aware of the cover song. An long time friend of mine was the one who pointed it out to me that Steve Perry wished he was Sam Cooke. Then when I did listen to Journey songs it became so obvious to me.

As far as stealing from the best. Yes, it's true it's a good idea to steal from the best. HOWEVER - I recommend not stealing everything from the same source. Steal from a bunch of different great places. Or rather a better term would be borrow. That's how you become original.
