    Lyrics:
    It's the eye of the tiger
    It's the thrill of the fight
    Rising up to the challenge of our rival
    And the last known survivor
    Stalks his prey in the night
    And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

      Well said. Jimi had an incredible voice and it was as strong the day he passed away as it was when he was in his teens. He was an amazing man, father, husband, grandfather, step father, musician, humanitarian and friend. I will miss his friendship, laugh and of course his music. He will always be in my heart.

      In concerts, they never transposed their songs to a lower key (to make it a bit easier to sing), and he struggles quite a bit sadly. But, in the studio when he’s had time to prepare and all and only needs to sing for a few minutes, he’s very good, and one of my favourite singers to listen to.

    Risin' up, back on the street
    Did my time, took my chances
    Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
    Just a man and his will to survive
    So many times, it happens too fast
    You trade your passion for glory
    Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
    You must fight just to keep them alive
    It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
    Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
    And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
    Face to face, out in the heat
    Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
    They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
    For the kill with the skill to survive
    It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
    Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
    And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
    Risin' up, straight to the top
    Had the guts, got the glory
    Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
    Just a man and his will to survive
    It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
    Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
    And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
    And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
    The eye of the tiger
    The eye of the tiger
    The eye of the tiger

      Bob Wolenski Jimi was touring as Survivor with musician friends he hand picked from about '93 on, and Jim Peterik, Frankie, and Dave Bickler also toured as Survivor at the same time. There was a lawsuit over the rights to the name, and Jimi won the rights in court!! Way to go Jimi!! ❤️Then in '99 Frankie sued again and another judge gave him the copyright. So Frankie immediately asked Jimi back to the band and fired Dave yet again in '2000, and Jimi stayed with the band until he left again after the Reach album. He came back in late 2011, and stayed until his heartbreaking passing in 2014. RIP beautiful, sweet Jimi!! 💔

      @@CleoPenelope111 Thank you, I know their history. One time I gathered up a group of friends from college back in 1994 to go see Survivor at the Palos Hills Il friendship fest. Some of those friends had been with me the prior summer and saw Jimi Jamison's Survivor in Naperville and we all thought they were great. So, thinking this would be the same band, we invited a larger group in 1994. They all came to my parents' house and to psyche ourselves up we watched Survivor videos. Then we get to the concert and what a letdown! Yes, it was the "real" Survivor but Dave Bickler just didn't have Jimi's charisma and couldn't perform many Jimi's era Survivor songs very well. One of my friends started yelling "we want Jimi!". This went on for a bit and I happened to glance behind me and a man was getting up to leave with his kid. I looked at the man and my jaw fell open. It was Jimi Jamison, who gave me a grin and walked away.

    Just saw Jamison attempt this song in 1982, when he first replaced Bickle, and the high notes were a travesty. He's got a great voice and he// really trained it into that range to do this song cleanly and powerfully 3 years later. Excellent work - credit where it's due!

    This is actually a really tough song to sing. Dave Bickler's original rendition was a classic, but Jimi is one of the few who could get close to singing it well, without murdering it + Jimi had that stage presence few can match. (Nobody in Survivor before or after came close)

      @@laurastuhler4791 Lol to yourself 👌
      Jimi was a baritone. That's why he often had to use falsetto - Especially when singing some of the Dave Bickler era songs. Jimi had that very wide and thick sound because of his baritone voice, having more surface area on his vocal folds. That meant he had to work harder to reach the high notes that came more naturally to Bickler. The same pitch still sounded "darker" for Jimi, which is another baritone trait. People often compare Jimi to Steve Perry, the most famous tenor. You can clearly hear the difference though, in that Perry was more natural in the upper register, making jumps up and down the octaves. Jimi prefered to keep it a step lower, to properly take advantage of his wider vocal folds. Listen to "The Search Is Over" and you'll hear it. Baritone through and through

    Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple/Rainbow): "I had seen Jimi in Survivor and was very impressed. I remember going down to Tennessee to meet him and I really liked him as a person. He then came up to try out with Deep Purple. We did one song, I think it was 'Going Down' and he was so good I immediately stopped playing and just said, 'You're in!' He said, 'Don't you want to do more songs?' I said, 'No, you are so damn good, I know that you are perfect for the job.' We went out and celebrated at a restaurant. I was full of ideas due to his melodic, soulful voice, and he could improvise much better than a lot of singers I knew so he had every aspect I was looking for in a singer. Very, very nice guy. Very humble. Unfortunately, two weeks later, we were told he couldn't join the band. We never found out why. I think it had something to do with the management. I was surprised and saddened by what happened, and it was a mystery to me what had gone down. It was a bad moment for me. I rated him as one of the top singers in the country."
