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."

[@BarbaraE-zh7ey]

Thank you for sharing this. I love hearing this. Jimi has the best voice ever and it’s great to hear a legendary band respected this humble man which he never got from Frankie Sullivan of Survivor. Have you gotten a chance to see Firefest 2010 on KZbin with Jimi members of H E A T and Tommy Denander the legend. They this was the best concert in FireFest history. Thanks again for showing him kindness and respect I am sure it meant everything to him

Rasta Rigo, I realized that l am stuck "80s" and early "90s". The best times of my life!

[@coolcatrick3454]

Eduman1979 yes! The 80's were the best! A pet peeve of mine is when a band famous for recording a great song like this does it in concert, but they do the song in a lower key. Survivor did that here on youtube with this great song. I know Jimi's voice had changed over the years. He was in his 50's when he did the song live, and nobody can blame him for it. It is just part of life that our vocal chords don't reach those high notes anymore. Still, it drives me nuts when the song is sang/played in a different key. Just do a youtube search for this song, and Survivor with Jimi did it, and Jimi did it with some session band members sometime in the 2000's. I won't even watch those videos. I prefer the more familiar version, when Jimi was younger, like this video here.

Will we fall apart? At times, it's so confusing The questions of the heart You followed me through changes And patiently you'd wait 'Til I came to my senses Through some miracle of fate I was living for a dream Loving for a moment Taking on the world That was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever The search is over You were with me all the while Now the miles stretch out behind me Loves that I have lost Broken hearts lie, victims of the game Then good luck, it finally struck Like lighting from the blue Every highway's leading me back to you Now at last, I hold you Now all is said and done The search has come full circle Our destinies are one So if you ever loved me Show me that you give a damn You'll know for certain The man I really am I was living for a dream Loving for a moment Taking on the world That was just my style Then I touched your hand I could hear you whisper The search is over Love was right before my eyes

Suddenly they broke out a couple of Doors tunes. Now Jimi kept passing the mic around to the crowd to sing during the whole show. As they start playing Roadhouse Blues, come second verse Jimi puts the mic right in front of me and je kept smiling and encouraging me. I have a baritone voice and sound like Morrison I started singing the 2nd verse and Jimi kept telling me to keep going, I got to sing the whole 2nd verse and the crowd was wild. I was high for a month!! God bless you and rest your soul Jimi going
