Every song he sings is just perfect. What an absolutely fantastic voice. I love every song on all of his personal CDs and the four Survivor CDs that he sings on. Jimi was still singing strong in his late 50s and early '60s. One of the greatest rock singers! Never forgotten. 👏🎤🎹
Jimi was one of my dearest friends in the world growing up and especially when he sang for Target. Go back and listen to some of his early stuff with that band. They were my favorite "bar band" in Memphis for many years. They had 2 fantastic albums. RIP dear friend. Gone to soon.
Oh my gracious! I was able to find some CD’s of their (Target) music on Ebay last year. What a treat that was 😀. Much heavier sound than Survivor. I also found a song by The Debuts here on TH-cam. I believe he was a teenager at the time. What a voice this man had!
Those TARGET albums are Amazing. I have them on Vinyl, Mint condition and still sealed. The Remastered CD’s are great as they come with a booklet each and are a great read. There is also that 3rd CD by TARGET that was released a few years ago, another GREAT one. SWEET JIMI was a Beautiful, Kind Soul and so Humble and I miss him every single day💔💔💔
Jimi Jamison deserves more credit for his live performances not to mention he kept his high notes until the very end of his career. In my mind, he belongs right there with the guys like Daryl Hall and Mick Hucknall, perfect voice for Survivor sound. This amazing piece stays on my playlist forever..
What an excellent could not agree with you more. Cetera was my favorite with Jimi but Jimi is now my favorite with Cetera right behind. I think it’s because Jimi was so handsome and from I read he was an incredible humanitarian. Ironically they were both in bands that were unkind to them Frankie Sullivan Robert Lamm like to make it about themselves Lamm wants to rewrite history and Frankie sues everyone in the band
As a Brit, just over 6 weeks ago the only Survivor songs I knew were the big 2 and I hadn't even heard of Jimi. In that short period of time Survivor have overtaken Bon Jovi as my all time favourite band. Jimi has just blown me away
Please watch Firefest 2010 it is the best concert ever. He was with H.E.A.T and Tommy Densnder (sp?). Anyways it has deemed to be the best concert in Firefest history. Enjoy
!! Listening today Sept. 24, 2024 and always. Loved Jimi he always had great vocals and presence on and off stage. Miss you Jimi, your Gone way, way too soon. Bless You, R.I.P. JIMI ... WISH YOU WERE STILL WITH US YOUR FANS FORVER !! ❤❤😢😢
This band was as good as Journey ! I know I'll hear about that statement...but Jimi Jamison's voice and Frankie Sullivan's guitar playing. Wow! 😳 They had great songs. They belong in the RRHOF.
Electrifying performance - this performance ranks up there with "Solitary Man" for best male heartbreak song ever. The way the vocals change from sadness to anger is awesome - unbelievable how good Jimi sounds live, I've got chills.
Teardrops, falling from your eyes like raindrops Pouring from the sky, remember You used to have the love I needed Back when we were young Lovin' always came so easy Heaven shared our love, magic The first time that I held you You fit like a glove You'd soothe me, with a shrug of your heart you could move me It always seemed my love would find you When you needed a friend I would be the man who would understand you
Jimi sang with so much heart, passion & emotion! Love how he could have altered his voice for different songs! There will never be another voice like his ever again🤘❤🎶🎤
Recently I have discovered his solo stuff Necer give up and Behind the music are incredible thanks for sharing his everything he released the Torch tribute album is almost impossible to find love the song Heaven passes the torch u can see it on u tube Jim Peterik knew him worked with him and helps us appreciate Jimmi Jameson more today he's in a hell of a band in heaven now his spirit has been a blessing and his voice passion and srxy stage presence a bow on the gift he gave the world
This video was shot well and caught Survivor at one of their peak live performances. Great vocals and nice guitar solo by Frankie. He looked so young and in great shape back then.
Survivor was usually relegated to being that band that did songs for Rocky and The Karate Kid. I thought they were highly under-rated by critics. The truth is they were a band of super-talented musicians who put on incredible live shows.
"The Moment of Truth" was in the very first Karate Kid movie. It was Jimi's first recording with the band that was released. It came out 3 months before "I Can't Hold Back" and the subsequent "Vital Signs" album. m.th-cam.com/video/GutdB6G75ns/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUcc3Vydml2b3IgdGhlIG1vbWVudCBvZiB0cnV0aA%3D%3D
I love this band and him especially..but Jim and Frankie wrote great lyrics. I remember thinking what they must have gone through to write the love songs they did... Absolutely amazing and his voice is still one of the best ever- saw him last year with Jim P at House of Blues in Chicago.still amazing...will fly anywhere to hear him sing..
I absolutely love this live performance. I wish that the DVD of the concert was available to buy in the U.S. Survivor is probably my favorite band. 1) I love the Peterik/Sullivan songwriting team. 2) I love Jimi Jamison's singing (tone, phrasing, power). 3) I love the guitar riffs. 4) I love many of the lyrics, find them memorable, and find some of them poetic (like "Burning Bridges"). 5) I love the keyboards.
Jimi, I will miss hearing your voice, seeing you live on stage, thank you for the beautiful music and memories you brought to this world, one of the many positive things you done for others but probably never knew to what extend. May your love for us forever live on.
Original singer wrote it..as good as Jimi was he cant hit the notes like Dave Bicklers voice..listen to original version off the 1st album hes not even close... I know it's your opinion but the 1st album was the best and Dave is on the Eye of the Tiger album...no disrespect to Jimi Jameson rip...
@@JW-hd6xx Jimi was a bariton. Dave is a tenor. Naturally it was difficult for Jimi to hit the notes the way Dave did, because they had different voices. But technically, Jimi was the surpirior singer. Dave had a very high voice, but he also sang very strangled, which ws why he lost his voice very quickly. Jimi, on the other hand, had the very broard and clear tone in his voice, which held up right until his death. That is a true vocalist
No way..always tbe original sincer is the best..he can't sing the orihinal stuff like Dave bickler...im just being honest...im talking about. Erode Jimi joined the band...jimi has a great voice though no doubt...
@@MichaelHolmgaard I get you Michael, but the songs Jimi sang after Dsve left the band, would be hard for Dave to sound like Jimi...im just talking about the 1st 2 albums..daves voice waS a little more powerful and he could hit any note..im a singer...so I understand how hard it is..sometimes you can't copycat the original singer and say he's the best singer survivor ever had ...the original is always best than a copycat...no disrespect to Jimi...i love his voice too..Dave should get more credit and he does not..he had a fallout withe Jim Peterick and left the band.... I think; after 2nd album.... so basically what I am saying,,, Dsve was a better singer for the Survivor band as a whole...Jimi could have started his own band from scratch and would have been awesome...
JW, Dave sang lead vocals on the first 4 Survivor albums. He developed vocal chord issues that required rest and recouperation. The band couldn't afford the time needed and replaced him with Jimi. One of the songs Jimi auditioned with was called Cry of the Wild Heart. Eventually, Jimi's version of it was released on the Extra Moments albums.
There is something special in this not perfect performance by Jimy. His beautiful tone that cracks here and there gives me goosebumps....So great and human in its inhuman beauty
Fenomenal - ¡ QUE ARTISTASO !. Que privilegio el de los japoneses que tuvieron la oportunidad de disfrutar de este concierto cuando Jimi estaba en su mejor momento. Para mi este fue de los mejores conciertos de Survivor
Lots Fans still enjoy listen to all there classic hits songs though years. Thank You. Keep on Rocking beautiful songs. Thank You Two thumbs up. 10000%.
Timeless...these guys were masters of catching the feelings of love lost. If you get a chance check out " I see you in everyone" another great classic.....
When you realize that song came out in '88, at the height of the rock 'n roll a la Bon Jovi its mind blowing it didn't do anything. It should have been a smash!

You can hear how that intro turned into Is This Love. Such an awesome performance of this incredible song.
I loved Jimi sooooo much! Soooo gorgeous! Most beautiful voice. Please come back!

Jimi always sang a song his way! And he'd put his heart and soul in every word! Nobody did it better!
Very missed ❤️
He was special!🎵
Yes nobody like him ❤️
Damn...looks, voice, charisma and rock n roll...what else could we ask for? He has it all!
Man I miss Survivor. RIP Jimmy
i really think although jimi was successful he was still underrated. he should be top 10 as best vocalist
Great music like this band created and jimmy are gone but not forgotten!!❤❤🌟🌟bring back the 80s
Wen I was young, survivor is my pavorite band, until nw aim 48 years old nw for me survivor is the best band in the word,
This is such a touching moving inspiration song 🎵 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽
Build a time machine, take me back to the 80's and destroy the time machine so i can stay there forever :(
Yes please, me too.
Can I hitch a ride?
Take me with you please!❤
Wow I really would like to do the same!😊

Jimi is the man. Best voice ever
Jimi is the voice of Survivor as Peter Cetera is the voice of Chicago. Their voices are forever attached to the hit songs they sang.
Exactly that is the truth!🎤🎶

You used to have the love I needed
Back when we were young
Lovin' always came so easy
Heaven shared our love, magic
The first time that I held you
You fit like a glove
You'd soothe me, with a shrug of your heart you could move me
It always seemed my love would find you
When you needed a friend
I would be the man who would understand you
😭😭😭
JIMI JAMISON ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
survivor and night ranger rocked in the 80's.
Survivor the legend💪💪💪

I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO.... Jimi Jamison .... AWSOME VOICE...!
hard to believe he is like from georgia!
He was from Memphis, Tennessee.
I have always loved Survivor! There's isn't a single song that I don't like. I just wish they would have released a live dvd here in the states.
Along with a handful artists, this band makes perfect music
There´s no band like that anymore
What a voice and music I love there 80s mullet hairstyle
SURVIVOR RULES! IS THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND! THEY ARE GREAT MUSICIANS! JIM PETERIK IS THE BEST!
Love you jimi
