Jimi Jamison - The Search Is Over

[@marymathews2244]

Jimi was my dear friend,who was a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He loved his children fiercely and unconditionally. Family was very important to jimi. I said goodbye to him for the last time at the grave sight where generations of his ancestors and his beloved mother waited for him. It was a quiet place resting under ancient trees and green farmland. There was such a feeling of peace. It was a place of grace. It was where jimi belonged, with his family. gift. I every day of my life.

[@crystalfreeman9295]

Looking threw your eyes of Jimi s final resting place. Really makes me feel like I was there in the end. Even thou I was not. It sounds so peaceful in the end. I pray that he is at peace. Even if us fan love him. And still miss so much. Thank you for in lighting those of us . That could not be there. I am truly grateful .❤️❤️

[@melissadavis225]

Yes goosebumps listening to this beautiful RIP Jimi

[@saga2964]

He lost a little of the dimension his voice had in his youth, but absolutely none of the talent or charm. As the years have gone by, the world has lost iconic artists well before their time. But I honestly can say I have never felt a deep, aching loss for ANY of them before. To be so talented and to have such an incredible, truly musical voice (they are definitely NOT the same thing!), he was still so absolutely beautiful, inside and out. His genuine humility, love for the music, and honest kindness can really be felt. The world not only lost a voice that has yet to be matched, but a celebrity that didn't act like one. Jimi, you were truly one of a kind.

[@meme-qo6jz]

I love him!! I saw him with Survivor here in MA. We didn't know if we were getting the original singer or Jimi..but whenever he went on stage... wow!! Such a treat.

[@crystalfreeman9295]

@@saga2964 l couldn't agree with you more 💞💞. Jimi Jamison was indeed a very special man. I never met him before or knew him personally. But I feel like I lost a close friend when he left us 😂😂. It's 2021 and I still feel his lost and l miss him. I cannot explain this.😭😭😭😭. Losing Jimi Jamison l feel like I have lost a family member.

[@davidfranklin7390]

They do not make singers like this anymore. The emotion and love of music he had just emits from him. He had an amazing voice and was very passionate W/ each song, performance. Also seemed to be a VERY nice man, regular "Joe". He was taken too soon. R.I.P. Jimi, hope to meet you on the other side 1 day to thank you for the outstanding, emotionally deep music. No matter the situation in life, his voice always has a way of making me smile. Kind of like a warm hug (I know that sounds strange). You were and still are awesome :>) !!

[@Clinicaleconomist]

I couldn't agree more!!! I'm really getting nostalgic, was a big survivor fan back in the 80s, good old teenager memories :) So sad, way too early taken from us, may he rest in peace! Thanks for everything Jimi!

I knew Jimi. He was a tremendous singer, but to anyone in Memphis he was just a good ole southern boy no pretentiousness.

[@ashe984]

Yes it’s sad what a beautiful incredible voice

[@rpwbass]

This is a true story. I had a difficult time in the mid 80's. I had an abusive mother and I was generally a very sad kid and when this song came out I was about 12. This song and other Survivor songs really caught my attention but I had no idea the real reason why yet. Coincidentally around this same time I had access to a basic synthesizer. The kind you get from a department store. Survivor's sound... lots of keys, distorted guitars and Jimi's voice... wow. I was just starting to learn to become a musician and they inspired me so much. The music was so lush and emotional and helped me to escape my sadness for brief moments, and now I was learning to do it too. When I finished high school I was aimless. I threw caution to the wind and moved to NYC and began to pursue music. That was in 1997. Fast forward 23 years, a lot of hard work and passion... Now here in 2020 I am the proud recipient of 19 Gold albums, 11 Platinum, 4 Multi-Platinum and one Diamond award... along with 9 Grammys. This music came into my life and changed it forever. If it weren't for that, I have no idea where I'd be. It helped me create a life and legacy as a record producer that I am proud of. I am eternally grateful. This video brought me back to that small town in 1984.

I think that the music of now, leaves a lot to debate, it's incredible to have grown up in the 80s, I didn't have that opportunity but I love the music of that time, I have a lot of Jimi's music in my playlist, I start, with his beginnings in survivor, and he finished with all his solo albums, and that's how I spend the day listening to him🎧🎶
