Freddie and Jimi share the throne for me. Pick up a copy of Vital Signs and hand it down to the next generation. Keep Jimi’s legacy alive.

[@lizmarch4000]

I am shocked by his speaking voice. I never would've thought he was southern. I love him even more now

[@32fordcoupegirl]

this made me cry, but everything about him does, he was the most under rated artist, man, those vocals,,,,, and he should still be here with us,,,breaks my heart,

[@sherrytrenner9452]

[@RoseannGalleher]

I just love listening to Jimi's voice and his speaking voice. Love his laugh and smile as well. He was one gorgeous man. RIP ❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@DarknetHorrorStories]

That Tennessee voice, I love it! My mother was from Tennessee and, although she lost it while living in California, she could still do the voice. So soft spoken and such a powerhouse when singing.

[@lisalamborn2133]

I honestly did not know Jimi was a southern boy.I love his twang..his talking voice is sexy.I'm surprised he sings such high octaves!! Just an amazing guy.I regret never seeing them live!!

[@brianezell5790]

He was from Mississippi.

[@carlamongold33]

[@blainejalen5420]

@Devin Lyle yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

[@suzannepalmer1343]

What a nice guy Rest In Peace 💙

[@joen.8364]

Great story. Never followed Survivor much, until a friend gave me their vital signs cassette tape as a gift (he would listen to it all the time in our barracks room while stationed in Korea 1886- told him it was a pretty good album!). Never Jammie's roots, came from a very humble place in the USA it seems.

[@neilfield3229]

What a legend great fella amazing voice

[@marfragg]

RIP Jimi, you were loved by millions !!

[@HeRacesTheSun]

Still is loved by millions, Jimi is in Heaven now.

[@skymonkey9094]

I am a huge fan of Jimi Jamison rip

[@toddbob55]

I love Jimmy he was so underrated Survivor was an excellent band

[@cheryldyer554]

Jimi is such an exceptional singer and person. My most favorite singer. Can't wait until Rob Levinson finishes the Resonating Voices Documentary about Jimi.

[@JRoca79]

JJ for me is one of the best singer.. I love his Survivor stuff and solitary stuff. "I see you in everyone" is my favorite song but i love all Survivor song and JJ songs. Love Rock song like "High on you" "I cant Hold Back" love this tunes.. make me feel really good :) thanks Jimi!

[@nancy10574]

really beautiful his songs and he dressed nice with his cute hair not like others.

[@jestersquest7692]

Best rock singer ever! RIP :((

[@kevinlipford4448]

I agree with his statements/feelings about music as an art form. I think it has more impact than any other.

[@scottharrisohn6972]

true what he says about art. Music is the greatest art form.

[@butchieblock9118]

Mississippi born!!! You have to live here to GET IT!!! Gone entirely too soon......

[@dimitriassimaopoulos9224]

The best ever live , RIP Jimi ! If there’s a rocking roll Heaven Jimi ‘s there singing now !!!

[@QueensWino]

Cool how he never lost that priority of playing live, which came out earlier in the interview (when he said at first he didn't really think about the recording studio). Shows he was thoroughly grounded. Would have loved to hang out with him. Indeed he is missed!

[@teresabosworth9049]

People can always do a rock version of beethoven or liberace while they paint or draw or even crochet like l do

[@kurtekerhaugen9755]

Such a nice man!✨

[@lydiapawlak8564]

Jimmy got that Memphis draw. He got that going back home for a long time. He did not have an accent when young, because he was in LA and places and friends and band members from around the world. He was a hottie, when with Survivor. 1985 was a great tour and songs were great!

[@RoseannGalleher]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful songs and your talent you left for us. What a legend. Cant listen enough to Survivor and your solo albums. I love Rock Hard!!!

[@AngelaPassetti]

I have just met JJ behind his strong melodic voice.Compared to Steve they both have their own personal pitch.How soothing to listen to this beautifully composed music sung by a man that used his voice as a schooled professional although the art of his love for music sews everything together.A natural!

[@COTTERO]

Your are GREAT Jimi. Thanx for your talent and music from Costa Rica, I still remember the fantastic gig that SURVIVOR and STARSHIP gave here.

[@your_favoritehorsebackrider]

He's SOOO expressive with his face and hands - he should have done acting/musical theatre.

[@hannibalbarca8384]

R.i.p.jimi.😇😇😇😇

[@laloquintana9845]

God bless you, Jimi.

[@musiclover3928]

Listen up to Jimmy! the legend tells the truth about the connection between art and music.

[@teresabosworth9049]

Everyone has a different kind of talent whether its music or art or in my case crocheting making blankets scarves and even some other designs l croched a purple heart design in memory of my father

[@emmanuelsalas475]

Inspirational songs survivor band💪🙏

[@davidringo1399]

Rest in Peace Jamo....

[@sandradonnelly5427]

Jimi said it all. Omg we miss him SOOO much. ..😢

[@genyarmijos2562]

Era muy hermoso..❤❤❤

[@Indianagirl1963]

Didn't know he had children. Who did he marry? She's a lucky lady. Jimi Jamison is cute!

[@sashasalcedo9835]

I Want To Be A Rock Star Like You I Will Have A Haircut Like That Someday And The Clothing Too 🎸✌

[@jaquayvius]

Go for it! I might even be your #1 fan. 👏🏾🤘🏾

[@teresabosworth9049]

What killed him l heard it was a heart attack l didnt realize he was gone until l saw 1 of the comments

[@teresabosworth9049]

He forgot knitting and crocheting which is my talent which comes from the mind that music art etc its all talent if used by the mind

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

@@teresabosworth9049 Was not a heart attack it was a meth overdose. I hope Jimi is not on the other side pissed that I wrote that but its true. Still very sad.

[@Westminsterfan1981]

I feel bad for his kids knowing how he died.

[@butchieblock9118]

Yeah. I believe his son discovered him in that unconscious state. How DEVASTATING for him--so much more so than the rest of us!

[@samimissy8190]

I'm not sure what prompted me to read through these comments today but as I did I read this & felt it important to reply. Instead of focusing on that the significance ought to be turning the attention to how he lived. He was a good person, a genuinely good person who was kind, humble, sincere, authentic, and above all things he loved his children dearly! Yes, his son was the one to discover him & I am certain that will cause him anguish for the rest of his life as it is not something anyone would forget. But Jimi loved James & was living with him at the time of his passing. They were bonded as father & son should be. He loved Amy & Lacy & was so proud of them all, they were his true legacy along with his granddaughter. They were everything to him. Yes, the circumstances under which his life came to a tragic conclusion are sad and were a surprise to many. But they do NOT detract from the illumination he shone on so many simply because he was. If you knew Jimi then your life was enriched because of it. His spirit was so radiant and positive. To have him as a father would have been an extraordinary blessing as he even embraced the role of step-father completely. I would suggest instead of contemplating what might have led him to incorporate a terrible substance into his body we instead feel gratitude for the incredible accomplishments he achieved as a musician & appreciate that as a human being he was indisputably one of the very best that ever was or will be.

[@litlredhen]

@@samimissy8190 Absolutely! Couldn't have said it better. Thank you for pointing out what's really important. ❤️

[@samimissy8190]

@@litlredhen Not a day passes by where I do not find myself striving to be a better person because of Jimi. Mind you, I falter constantly but he inspires me still in the most extraordinary ways. When I want to react instinctively in certain circumstances I take a moment to ask myself, "What would Jimi do?" & usually, it is the exact opposite of what I might be inclined towards so I re-think my responses. I am indebted to this influence as it has helped me behave towards people I may not care for or respect differently and therefore causing me to be a better person overall. He was never not kind to anyone, not that I am personally aware of. Everyone he met was seen as a friend. That's remarkably admirable! Also, very inspiring! I understand where some might immediately go to where the original person who commented went. That information is valid but it is not where anyone's thoughts ought to remain, not with regard to this luminous, cherished, uniquely incredible person! With all my heart & soul I treasure that my world has the honor of being uplifted continuously because Jimi existed. He wasn't perfect but he was precious. I shall forever hold him in the highest regard & have nothing but respect for who he was. We all make erroneous choices in our lives however, that should never be what people dwell upon. ESPECIALLY when you have enacted the enormous positive impact upon so many which Jimi most certainly did! I have met & known many from that 'world' of working entertainers. Most live only to indulge themselves & are as deep as spilled coffee. Not him! He was a Paphiopedilum Rothschildianum amongst weeds & his life & energy & spirit are irreplaceable! :)

[@Alliss616]

@@samimissy8190 Thank You for everything you’ve said here about JIMI. I stopped reading comments on here because people are so heartless. JIMI was the kindest Soul, and he truly was a Light. And most of all so Humble. His GOLDENVOICE will live on Forever. I will miss him Always💔💔💔
