Ides of March Tribute to Jimi Jamison

[@cheryldyer554]

Wonderful tribute. I love when Jim Peterik discusses his wonderful relationship with Jimi. Jim's songs were perfect for Jimi's voice. I absolutely love everything Jimi sings (and listen to his singing daily) and I have a huge respect for Jim's extraordinary musical achievements.

[@EpicExatly-nu1kj]

I listen to Jimi every day he's also the king of my playlist! I love it! 💕

[@angelkelley8739]

Jimi was a remarkable man, god was he funny and such a jokester. Beautiful soul with such a incredible heart. Yes he had such an extraordinary voice. Truly one of the best vocalist in the world. He was so humble with his stardom he didn't see himself that way. He was so down to earth and you saw his heart instantly & felt it too. I am grateful and blessed to have had such a friend in him. I miss him everyday. He just had this amazing way about him. He will never be forgotten. He lives on in our hearts, our memories and his songs. God bless you Jimi, you are so loved by many. Hugs to heaven lots of em..

[@mrss4278]

It looks like drug addiction got the best of him which makes me so angry and sad at the same time - not at him lol but at addiction in general. Drugs are a liar and a thief so don’t believe they’re tempting ways. Thanks to Jimmy forever for sharing his beautiful, wonderful voice and great songs.

[@angelkelley8739]

Jimi had heart disease. I will remember this amazing human being for the phenomenal man he was.

[@Kate-fr6ji]

Absolutely Angel. I've written a few comments but always stumble around not wanting to say to much but usually do because Jimi was such a "magical" person. We were close for a time but we "passed" on the opportunity to become closer. He was headed up. We talked about it and having a Naval Officer father could remember the words, " stay mum on some special things for it can end in a blemish upon that thing......hold tightly instead to the "thing" , keep it, it will forever be there and cherished by all who knew". Yep, my dad was 100% correct. Never did a word pass my lips until recently that Jimi and I had once been friends, became closer friends but incredibly respectful and protectful of one another. For that reason, there was not ever anything to regret, only memories and an " unnamed relationship ". We had what we had forever, always between us only. It was better that way. We didn't really have a "story" so why risk the opportunities for rumors. After the " us time" which was brief, close, not physically anything even remotely interesting unless holding hands, ruffling my hair ( or me doing it back) looking at each other and thinking or talking....so many thoughts shared. Wonderful man, spiritually more involved than some would think. He married Brenda, I married as well. He had Amy...I waited several years to have my first. Coincidence brought Brenda and I together at a place of employment. I photographed, she managed my appointments. Never did I breathe a word. Why interfere her loving marriage with such things. Jimi often picked her up at night from work. A quick wave through the windshield or a quick smile and wink. No more. He dedicated his life and time to music but family was first. Thank you Jimi for the Music. I'm still in Memphis. Last saw him in 2012 at Neil's on open mic night. Yes, he used the mic. RIP. We all loved you.

[@Kate-fr6ji]

My name isn't Kathy. But I was accually born in Texas. My father was a Naval Commander so we moved ALOT. We were stationed in Millington a few time but way back then we usually lived in Frayser when Dad was Aviation COA at the base. In 1972, for the first time in my life I had the opportunity to graduate from a school in which I started 3 years prior. Dad got orders to Iceland and typical teen I begged to stay here. Surprisingly, my parents talked and my father went to Iceland alone for a year. He was to retire with 30 years of service at age 47 so only had a year left anyway . So he returned home in April of 1973 He retire in May of 73 and I graduated in May of 73. My boyfriend was in a band , thus met Jimi. Then another few friends went to Messick including the man I married. I went by Kate or Katie or Kay. I know my husband and Jimi were a few years older, I think Brenda may have been younger than me. I'm not certain, she was very sweet. Jimi & I just were attracted to each other. No formal relationship, some visits or alone talks & developed a deep respect for one another at the time. That never ceased to be. He married, I married, he had Amy then I had a daughter. We only saw each other occasionally when he pi ked Brenda up from work or my husband and I went to see him play. Jimi passed away about 3 years before my husband. We had last seen him at East End Grill. It was a loss for the community and the music industry. He never got caught up in the "fame" ....or if he did I missed that part. Just a well rounded, internally nice person. Nothing superficial. There isn't much to say about us. We semi gave it a try but all the prices were not in the right places. My dad talked to us both. He could see Jimi was possibly going somewhere & I was younger. We were encouraged to consider everything. ( my Dad probably scared Jimi in retrospect but my father was a sweetie, long hair, musicians, things like that didn't bother him.) Anyway, I'm not Kathy but am from Texas originally. Coincidence? Maybe.

[@angelkelley8739]

@@MielR There were also two dates of his death. August 31st and Sept 1st. He died September 1st at his home. He had been posting photos of Dave Bickler and Dennis Rodman to his page of previous shows he had just done. He also posted a video of his granddaughter Lola performing that he was very proud of. He and I had emailed each other a few times, I saw his posts, but after my last email he had not responded. I thought he had gone to bed. I later learned from a mutual friend he has passed on. Jimi was a remarkable man, beautiful soul. Giving, kind, funny, humble, genuine and had such talent, but what heart. That is what I will remember.

[@Nan-ly8zb]

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful human being. 💔

[@kittensanddaisies5615]

Thank you for this tribute to Jimi, one of the most talented vocalists ever. He is greatly missed.

[@christykaples2141]

Jimi Jamison had a very powerful voice that can never be replaced. He touched so many hearts of his fans. It is truly a shame that we lost him so early. I know it's been over a year since his passing ,but it still is hard to believe that he is gone.😢 I believe that if you listen to his music that's how you can keep his spirit alive. I know I still do. I love to hear his voice .

[@programicsII]

+Christy Kaples, When I found about Jimi´s death I felt that I lost somebody really close, kind of a dear friend from my younger years, I agree with you, the best way to honor him is listen to his music...but even more, pass it along to our sons so they can appreciate a truly unique voice.

[@christykaples2141]

+Enrique Zanabria Believe me I will. I would whether have my kids listen to the kind of music that jimi did. Then what they consider music today. when I found out about his death it practically brought me down to my knees. I know eventually it would have happen, but I never expected it to happen so soon. We seriously lost one of the best icons of music way to soon.He might be gone ,but he will NEVER be forgotten .

[@marilenacolombo8686]

I 'll never stop to listen to his music, NEVER😍

[@sweetmarie72ply]

Such a big loss in the music world! Jimi was one of a kind. A beautiful voice who could hit those high notes with ease. I was so upset when I heard the news. Back in ‘84, when he joined Survivor, I heard their music and I thought, who the heck is singing this? What a voice! Thank God for MTV, and I saw the video for the Search is Over, and my heart did little pitter pats. Not only could this guy sing, he is gorgeous! I ran out, bought the album and listened to it over and over. I couldn’t get enough of him! Fast forward to 2014, and my world shattered along with millions of others. The Search is Over. God took our Jimi home. RIP. 💔😥

[@milagroscaba2784]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO....STILL LISTENING TO THE SONGS OF AN AWESOME, GORGEOUS SINGER WITH BEAUTIFUL SOUL. YOU SHALL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND ADORED JIMI JAMISON FOREVER. @MYLZ 214

[@cautiouslyoptimistic1962]

I heard Jim say he found his voice as a songwriter, and that's when the tears started, and then sobbing when he sang this for Jimi, I love this more than I can say. Thank you for this.

[@sherrytrenner9452]

When Jimi was discovered the search was truly over ! Miss you always teach those angels how to sing !!! Rest in Heaven handsome one !💜💛💚💙

[@gina8594inga]

4 years I still can't believe he's gone. I wish god could give him,back 😭😭😭

[@evokerfilm3118]

I feel your pain Gina, I'm truly sorry you lost Jim and myself a big fan of his music.

[@MistyRae-ThriftyGourmet]

Thank you, Jim for a wonderful trubuite to one of my school girl crushes, so handsome, such a beautiful voice...you brought me right back to the 80s, a place I kinda want to stay.xoxo

[@anitathompson853]

i met jimmy durring the summer of 79 or 80 just as he was making it at the germantown festival, he was awesome then, what talent! he has been missed by many, and i also remember living up the road from his family in frayser that was a long time ago, we miss you, r.i.p.

[@dokkengirljo6993]

Wonderful tribute. Jimi's voice is forever woven into so many life soundtracks, including mine. His voice was 1 of a kind and 1 of the best that will ever be. I had such a crush oh him, a true rock star. RIP Jimi.

[@andrewfuoss5117]

Jimi had such a powerful voice. Survivor's music got me through alot of bad times in highschool since i was bullied alot . Jimi may you rock in heaven and your powerful voice be like thunder through the skys. You will always be miss and always be in your fans hearts .

[@scottharrisohn6972]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[@sherrytrenner9452]

Yeah Jimi I know you're listening and I wanted to tell you that I LOVE AND MISS YOU DEEPLY !!!! 💔💕💔💜💋💕 AND YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND !!!

[@maverique0078]

Saw Jimi twice at Firefest - the best two live performances that I have seen in my entire life, and I've been to a lot of rock concerts. Totally selfless and so talented. RIP - nobody sings like you, Jimi. A talented singer but an even more amazing person. It was always about the music and the fans................all throughout your life. Cannot express how much I respect that ethos.

[@angelkelley8739]

Amen they surely were I agree. He was so in his element. Powerhouse voice. The heart behind the words. Even as phenomenal he was at his gifted talent. He most certainly was even more phenomenal as an incredible human being. One of a kind !!! xx

[@ivettemartinez7138]

Thanks Jim Peterik. Jimi Jamison excellent recognition of the best.RIP

[@jaylkeene8236]

I can't say it better...

[@HeRacesTheSun]

I felt some sadness & loss when Jimi's spirit left his body, but after while I feel more joy and appreciation that we were blessed with him as a wonderful person, his amazing talent and singing voice that we so enjoyed while he was here and live on in recordings & shows. Sometimes it takes the death of someone's body, to realize how special they were, and how richly they graced our lives. JImi, we will always be 'High On You' :)

[@nightwishmaster9789]

Fitting tribute. Such a sad but triumphant celebration of a great man and vocalist.

[@debbiejamison9002]

Just seeing this...so very sweet Jimbo....know he was smiling in Heaven.........

[@marilenacolombo8686]

Sweet jimi, never never never forgotten 😊

[@Dr.EdwardKevorkian]

After all the songs fade away... And the stage fades to gray...

[@kellyeslinger6178]

Well done, Ides of March. Perfect tribute to one of the greatest voices in music history, who left us way too soon, even at 63.

[@iasciateognisperanza3267]

It was the Fall of 1984, and I heard Jimi singing “High on You” Survivor survived Dave’s departure. Both unique voices, and what could have spelled off disaster became the number one hit by early December of that year. RIP in Heaven.

[@gess4170]

A perfect ending for this tribute would have been a video of Jimi singing the last verse live acousticly...

[@billknowles8952]

Wow love this and loved jimi. Jim u and jimi and the whole band made music that cant be touched i love it . miss u jimi Jamison. Who ever the 8 knot heads who gave this thumbs down must be bieber fans and would not know great music.

[@carlahubbs3602]

[@johnwick3269]

He was a very rare human being he always gave time for us fans even I was a kid when I saw him with my dad I was 16 they have greats songs the search is over no one can hit that like can rip Jimi thank you for all you have to us musicly and on life you gave your all every time brother

[@ItalianAngel21175]

I would listen to him on the radio or see him on VH1 and just fall to pieces! Sweetness would just permeate for Jimmi's pores. More then that, when he would sing...did you ever notice that is came so natural to him. He didn't even have to try! It was effortless for Jimmi. He is so very missed! Btw y'all sang it pretty good💖🤗🌹

[@jongowan3277]

We are hurting at this moment in this time.,damn it Jimi why don’t you just listen to everyone and 🛑 stop.we hurt for you Jimi.we will love your music for your to come,

Still can't believe this is real or is it I just don't want to.What a voice and a singer who put his heart and soul into his music and go try finding that in today's music.His voice made those songs even better backed by the amazing writing of Peterik and Sullivan those songs will last a lifetime.Saw him shortly before he died and there he was on stage smiling and doing what he loved.Great tribute from Jim who certainly did some great work with Jimi on his solo career

Love ya Gina, it is such a loss.

[@ZenyattaFan1]

I usually don't like hearing a song in a different key from what I'm used to. But I thought this was great! Jim Peterik is an underrated singer. He obviously can't sing like Jimi, but who can?

[@madelinerichardson6138]

Jim Peterik wrote these songs that Jimi Jamison sang. Jim Peterik helped write songs for 38 Special too. Talented man. People should research how Jim Peterik named the group "Survivor".

[@rainymoon9848]

Yeah, I agree that Jim Peterik is an underrated singer.

Does anyone know if there are any uncomplicated videos of survivor/Jimi Jamison, simple ones like the unplugged versions with a band just plays and there’s no additional pictures of someone else’s imagination of what the song is about?

[@Nan-ly8zb]

Jim Peterik wrote it so it’s probably a pretty accurate interpretation of what “the song is about”.

[@acoustic61]

Jim Peterik sang this great!

I believe he is the singer that sings in the " Bud Light Presents " real man of genius and other hook bits

Dave Bickler, the guy who sang "Eye of The Tiger", sang those. Jimi's first album with Survivor was "Vital Signs". The first song that he sang and recorded with them was the Karate Kid song "Moment of Truth.".
