Jimi Jamison - Didn't Know It Was Love (Live from Firefest DVD)

[@Randy_in_Pittsburgh]

Such an incredible vocalist, and man was he such a genuinely nice, humble, and generous guy in person. Rest in peace, J.J. Thank you again for everything.

[@terryjanisch905]

Jimi had one of those voices that you could understand all the vocals.

[@Meg-kt2bo]

Agree! It's hard to find someone who can be completely understood. Great vocalist!

[@boarhunter8685]

The same is with the hard-rock singer Graham Bonnet from the band Rainbow.

[@iraenricocervantes2080]

Agreed

[@kimveikkola7795]

Yes, he had a really clean voice. One of the absolut best singers in the world ❤

[@NapoleonDynobyte]

Amen !

[@sherry8894]

It's 2023 and I still love Jimi as much as I did in the 80's !!! RIP Jimi ❤️

[@CherylBattista]

I can remember telling him to do FIREFEST and he had no clue what it even was....sometimes my ideas were good, that's why I worked for him for over ten years, friends longer....miss him. RIP bro...u r missed.

[@gabrieleherzberger2346]

Best singer ever. Jimi we miss you so much.

[@AlllieBow]

That grin on his face. Priceless

[@crystalfreeman9295]

It was a great idea loved Jimi from the very beginning to the very end. He still was rocken the stage. He was still a magnificent singer l will always miss him and love him forever. He is the air that I breathe 2020 forever ❣️😍 His fan . Jimi jamison you rule.

[@petiestewart1086]

omg u worked for Jimi ?

[@CherylBattista]

@@petiestewart1086 yes. Did his website and booked some gigs, set up meet/greets,etc. sweet, very funny man.

[@gwyld]

That's one of the best live performances I've ever seen. His voice was impeccable and the band hit their notes perfectly. Gone too soon, but Jimi, along with Steve Perry and Lou Gramm, will always be the best band vocalists of the 80s.

[@Minilover-ec7ci]

Graham bonnet deserves a mention too but I love jimi

[@TheInxsero]

Michael hutchence, Steven luckater

[@dmelton429]

Visited his Jimi’s shrine/bust at the Memphis Hardrock in 2018. Staff set me and grandson up on stage w/guitars and we air jammed

[@dennisfoley5422]

I can't believe I never heard this before. This my favorite song now. I played this at least six times on Saturday! Just ask my neighbors!

[@rochellelisovich7447]

I hear you. I just discovered a ton of survivor songs I'd never heard before. Needless to say they're my new favorites

[@eskilshem]

I play it also many times.

[@wesleystaub5416]

It's on the album too hot to sleep it wasn't promoted well per Jimi himself When Seconds count is awesome plus Jimi Jamison did 3 solo albums Crossroads moments he did with Jim Peterik of Survivor Check out the video Never 2 Late his daughter Amy is in it Jimi Rocks the he'll out of this and is still fabulous to look ar and sings incredible Also Crossroads moments with Jim P When Rock was King That's why using and Behind the music also 1 man's trash is incredible and un released with Jim Peterik I want to touch you there Amazon music has it all Enjoy it love it all it drives my boyfriend crazy IM on u is tablet now cause my phone is being charged Enjoy Mary Sharp I'm on Facebook Enjoy the great music jimi and Jim left us Rock in Peaze Jimi

[@Pash091]

@@rochellelisovich7447 It's crazy, everybody knows Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart but according to the views on youtube almost no one knows the other songs... cuz those couple million views are all by me in the last couple weeks. It's sad I only found out about their other songs lately... especially Jimi's voice... I almost missed out on greatness.

[@peterc.jordan2420]

find this song on youtube when Jimmy was with Survivor

[@lisapoole5420]

This man's voice never aged. Rip, ageless

[@MB-nj4ln]

Magic.... Miss this guy. One of the best voices of Rock history. No doubt.

[@arcoirisomez2073]

Completly agree!💕

[@troywilloughby157]

One of the best male vocals ever. Got to see him with Survivor. Incredible musician. Rip

[@user-oy7yp9os3y]

Interaction with the audience was phenomenal. A great moment in time.

[@pedroolmos3685]

That was his voice in a live performance? IT'S FUCKING RIDICULOUS MAN. Absolutly and extremely insane talent.

[@michaeltrees6872]

Jimi is awesome! Period. And man, Tommy Denander is just, well... awesome!! FYI, He uses a Kemper profiling amp directly into the PA! :-) It's amazing how far amp modeling has come. Amazing!

[@safiyahosein2274]

❤🎶 He rocked till the very end. He loved the stage & the stage loved him..... Jimi Jamison will forever live on through his music!

[@terryjanisch905]

That voice. Nothing like it ever.

[@paulwiley7533]

Great song Tight band Tony Denander ace guitar hero Incredible Vocals from a true legend

[@angelkelley8739]

Jimi Jamison is one of the greatest singers out there then and now. He is one of the Top 10 Male vocalist in the world. & maintained it. Known and named as the voice of music in the industry. He is Legendary Artistry at its best. This is a live performance at Firefest. I have seen these talented artists perform live numerous times and they are Music @ ts best. They have talent beyond words. There isnt many even close to having the gifted natural talent this man has.... Jimi just keeps on getting better and better with time. Legendary Icon.

[@erikjohnson3206]

The members of heat keep honoring Jimmi. When he played with new brothers of music they sounded even better. They rocked and the sound of Jimmi will be honored. Thank you Jimmy for always lifting my spirit and making fans smile. A true hero of music.

[@safiyahosein2274]

He needs to be or rather deserves to be in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

[@andynunez7424]

YES I WISH THAT JIMI WILL BE HONORED TO THE WALK OF HALL OF FAMER AS HE IS ONE OF THE TOP 3 vocalist in the music industry in the world, please, please!!!!

[@user-zl3xs1cf8x]

​​@@safiyahosein2274💯% it should have already happened. Survivor is one hell of a powerful band with Jimmy Peteric's amazing song writing talent and at first Dave Bickler's powerful voice ( eye of the tiger,) then Jimi coming on board with His amazing strong and beautiful, powerful voice. Simply a great professional rock band. We will forever miss survivor, but will always have the musical legacy that they created and left behind...❤

[@danharris2007]

Yep i agree and he never got into the rock and roll hall of fame. They where awesome i saw them and reo speedwagon and styx and survivor blew them all away. Wasnt even close

[@ITSMZPOO]

Jimi's amazing. He's on fire here. Perfect performance as always! The band is great too..Jimmy-jay on bass plays his heart out.

[@MrFacePeck]

My journey towards discovering Jimi Jamison is a weird one: Watching Paul Blart Mall Cop in 2020 and hearing ‘I can’t hold back’ and wondering who sung it. Then discover several other Survivor songs (other then Eye) I never heard of, to discovering Jimi’s solo work. And then this Firefest live performance, with a great ‘Didn’t know it was love’ live version. Too bad I discovered him so late, but glad I did. He surely was a great singer. RIP

[@user-dk7tw3ow3o]

No matter the year I always enjoy Jimi's songs! Love to watching him singing!🤩

[@user-dk7tw3ow3o]

No that is no his son, the son never played with him!;

[@philmaynard369]

OMG, I just discovered this on youtube..what a belter of a song this guy is awesome, and Im not even American😂 what a voice

[@sarge6870]

That's the great thing about great music, doesn't matter where you're from...music transcends ALL countries and ALL languages!

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Man...what a voice! One of the greatest of all time.

[@ez8546]

Nice job, Jimi! Voice sounds great!!!!!!!

[@sydney2462]

What an underrated talent, he's one of my favorite male vocalist of all time.

[@ridler237]

what a cracking voice! he had a gift.......super talent still at that age.....rip jimi

[@ITSMZPOO]

HIS VOICE STAYED THE SAME AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS. PERFECT PITCH AND POWERFUL!

[@angelkelley8739]

He was literally magic to the stage. I miss this dear friend so very much. He had such a gift. But even more so then the talent he so had. His heart was endearing. Always giving back & supporting St Jude and many other organizations. Remarkable man & genuine friend. Life is not the same with out him in it. He impacted many lives by his being. Jimi if I know you as I do. I know your Rock N Heaven. Hugs galore... RIP

[@baysismedia]

Jimi was one the greatest of all times. In 2014 the world has not only lost a great singer and gifted artist but also a precious human being, I had the pleasure ( and honor ) to work with Jimi, I´ll never forget the fun we had together, I still can´t believe he is forever gone. rock in peace my friend

[@billwilliams3884]

Angel Kelley Hi Angel although o didn't know him I could tell by his interviews that he always stayed humble and never forgot where he came from. He will always be my favorite singer. IMO he was a class act.

[@RCINVASIONINTL]

He was truly an amazing inspiration to music.

[@Monstrinho35]

Angel Kelley thank you for your testimonial. Only know the artist and the amazing singer and its important sometimes to know the man.

[@tmgslcso33]

Angel Kelley Just found this song on KZbin about a month ago.... Even now His music still helps me stay emotionally strong through all this craziness....

[@rokerman]

Still can't believe Jimi has gone. Never ever forgotten.

[@bazbuncher6948]

One of the BEST voices ever.

[@JasonBournewrong]

What a voice! Look down on us all sometimes, Jimi!

[@guy-louiscolinet8570]

One of the Greatest singers of all time Jimi .. So much love..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@MrJourney1]

With a heavy heart I am deeply saddened to say...R.I.P Return if possible Jimi Jamison, passed away from a heart attack I have been a fan since the 80's and finally got tickets to see him in Manchester next month...now a dream I cannot fulfil. A great singer and by all counts a great man, A sad loss to his family and millions of friends...including me, who inspired me back then and recently through some tough times xx

[@SoniaMVI]

R.I.P. Jimi, your songs will be forever in our hearts!

[@08harleydog]

Omg I am amazed and very sad right now .How did I not know about this song!!!!.I'm hooked ,if this had been promoted when it came out ,I would have burned out my tape deck in my car listening to it.What a beat, What a voice ... such a loss

[@gretchentyree1203]

Sweet Jesus! It breaks my heart that Jimi didn't get the chance to have bypass surgery for his clogged arteries. Maybe he had no symptoms. A treasure and a gift we were given of a voice and a decent man.

[@Faltor895]

He died of a stroke triggered by meth.

[@JohnBrown-xc7rp]
