I was born in 1968. Survivor was the best in 84- 85. I was a junior and senior. With Jimi Jamisons soaring voice. You would never have thought that he could sing like that. He was country as all get out. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But when he sang it was like another entity. His talent will live on forever. 😀

i was also born in 68......litttle farther east in knoxville....but likewise a Tennessean....

[@charlesbietz7543]

His great voice and his personality help make Survival such a great band, and his amazing voice help the band,shot to superstardom, and made their songs have so much heart and soul and gritty and you could tell he loved performing and he made this band,so much better and I believe that, nothing against the original singer,but I think Jami Jamisons voice made these great songs of the band,so much more depth and range of the song's and it help make this band to where when you think of the Rocky movies,the great soundtracks to enhance the story lines and I believe that without Jimi Jamison as lead vocals, I don't think they would have had the success they had, without him,and He will be missed and I don't think they will find a better Singer to replace him, but I believe too that hopefully they had a great management team, and they all could live comfortably for years to come,but I remember seeing them back in 1985 at RUPP ARENA in Lexington Kentucky and Survivor Opened up for REO Speedwagon and they both put on one hell of a great concert and Jimi Jamison was the lead singer and he didn't disappoint,but again,we will miss him dearly!!!!!!!!!

[@smmmerici6774]

Haha! 2 years later, it caught me in the gardening section of Walmart! I forgot how powerful this song is - you can't sit still! So danceable and so true when you really can't hold back.

Back in 1984 people could not hold back but fall in love with this song and video. Who is listening in 2024?

[@paulmcguinness3862]

Survivor were the best - it just doesn't get any better than this. I remember seeing a rock band from Scotland called Knightrider playing live in Edinburgh and I said to their singer Tam Toye "Your voice sounds like Jimi Jamison from Survivor" and the guy told me that was the finest compliment anyone could bestow. That's how well respected Survivor were. Other rock bands saw Survivor as like a benchmark, a higher level of musicianship and talent. True genius.

He will be loved by all Survivors here. The search is over, Jimmi. Jesus is right before your eyes now. Still this comment can't soothe myself on you... People, life is just one... Jimmi gave his best of his to us. He deserves a wholesome ovation, even if we don't have enough guts because it hurts badly... do the effort please. Maybe this will soothe us fans though... crying.. talking gibberish due to emotional pain and confusion I guess... :'(

[@margaretfoster3045]

I just found out about it today via UPI, United Press International. You have more up to date information and news. I'll always remember Jimi's face. I would watch music videos, and at the end would be recommended videos to watch. Jimi's face would be on there for Survivor's videos. I'm good with faces, but bad with names. I honestly had no idea he was 63. RIP Jimi Jamison.

[@Gerkinstock]

According to Wikipedia, a sometimes reliable source, "His autopsy revealed the actual cause of death to be a hemorrhagic brain stroke, with "acute methamphetamine intoxication contributing." So, it sounds like his death was a drug-induced stroke.

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."

Paul Blart Mall Cop features such an iconic song because the movie was partly produced by Adam Sandler. (Alao checkout Zookeeper with Kevin James, another Adam Sandler flick). Sandler always picks the classic songs from the 80s for his movies; the type of songs where you say, "Man, I havnt heard that song in forever !" He definitely has taste when it comes to the songs for movies. Thanks Adam!

Jimi Jamison took these guys right into the mainstream pop hemisphere. Survivor had an Edgier appeal at first with Eye the Tiger. Back then, pop was considered lame. (Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Michael Jackson, etc). Bands often wanted rock cred instead of celebrity status. Living the 80s as a kid, we never appreciated the great music we had. This song is pure gold.
