Can you see that the secret or the key to succeed in art, you need support and encouragement from one side or the other? I love when talks about family: mother, grandfather, cousins, pets. Of course he was gifted, but the confidence he got helped more. One of the greatest voices I have ever heard.
Having listened to rock music since the early 70s. I would say that Jimi had one of the greatest voices in rock music history in the top twenty of all time, that's how great he was. You could tell he was just one of those guys who you could sit down with in a bar in LA and just talk about his experiences in music. RIP Jimi you are missed
Whew!!🔥🔥He was so SMOKIN' hot in the 80s and 90s, and even here, he still had those chiseled good looks and insane vocal range!! He didn't get the credit he so richly deserved for being one of the most iconic and recognizable voices from the 80s to 2014! And what a nice guy!!
Any song with his voice on is magical. Listening to him sing every day. The 2022 Rock Hard CD is so special with some new releases. Such an absolutely special person with one of the greatest rock voices.
I would like to have a time machine ⏲️ and go back in time to find Jimi and stay with him forever! He was adorable, handsome, tender, sexy, and his voice, I liked him too much!😢
I'm a huge fan of Jimi Jamison. Imho, he's one of the best vocalists & human beings with whom God ever blessed this world. Thank you, Lord, I appreciate all that Jimi Jamison gave us!!!
Jimi was just one of those guys that every one would have taken a liking too. He had one of the greatest voices in rock history. Jim Peterick said that when they heard him audition for survivor, all he could say was. "WoW" and that was that. Jimi you are missed by more people than you know. RIP Jimi.
WOW!!! I had no idea Jimi was born in Mississippi!! So cool. I have loved him ever since I saw him with Survivor and it was love at first sight, for me. I will always love and miss him. Rest in peace, Jimi from a Louisiana girl. Born and raised!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
R.I.P. Jimi....Grew up in the 80's listening to you with Survivor. God has you now but thanks to your music, you will never be forgotten. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
I just heard the news Jimi , Rob Caudill called me in tears. You were always a friend without a ego. Everyone loved you . You always brought it big time because you are the real deal! Rest in Peace brother. We'll catch up with you on the other side . Rock on!
@@Haliop-sv4uv no it was before he was with survivor . You don’t need to be a smart a22. My brother worked for MLGW and he an Jimi shared an apartment . They were friends during his entire life.
Yes I don't need to be smart to understand what you told me!😒, Jimi was super friendly and always with his sense of humor, I think it was a pleasure to be friends with someone like him,
@@EpicExatly-nu1kj well you do sort of. They were roommates back when he was with cobra and before he was with survivor . You can insinuate that I’m lying but I’m not and it won’t change history Yes he was a super nice / sweet guy
@@johngodsey5327 Friend I believe you, and I'm not implying that you lie, I honestly believe you! You can tell me anything about jimi, i mean things that your brother had tell you and i belive you! I think that you are an honest person!🤗
@@EpicExatly-nu1kj hey Sorry if i misunderstood. My brother knew him well where as i met him once (by accident) as he was leaving David’s apartment in the mid 80s. I didn’t even know it was him, my brother had to tell me after Haha
Meet one of the most laid back greatest lead singers you might have not have really noticed. He sang so many back ground vocals for ZZ Top that I believe he is an honorary member of the band. RIP brother. Maximum Respect From a recent news blip: Jimi performed backup vocals on recordings by ZZ TOP, Joe Walsh and numerous other recording artists. Billy Gibbons referred to Jimi as the fourth member of ZZ TOP and Casey Kasem, on his nationally syndicated radio show "American Top 40", called Jimi Jamison "The Voice."
I made it 1-7, will followup the reat 2 morrow.....a great interview...:-) I love anyone that is able to laugh at themselves:-) thanks for sharing Loo!
Classical Jams - Passionate Piano I have been sitting on this for a few years. I just thought some people should hear it for real from the man him self. It speaks volumes.
Laurie Campbell I have been watching these interviews for years, whenever I feel like giving up…I come and let Jimi talk to me. Living Legends has many inspirational clips. Highly recommended IMHO
Jimi was not only that beautiful boy from the 80s, he also had that particular voice! I love to listen to him talk and sing, I always watch his videos, and he makes me feel so good, that sometimes I forget that he is no longer here with us! 😥
September 1st will be 4 years since god took you home to,heaven jimmy wayne I still miss you soo much . wish god could give you,back . but I know he can't and,I,know your happier there in,heaven with your mom and great aunt Florence and uncle J. And our family but I still miss you 😭😭 we all do
Yes I think Jimi is happier wherever he is than here on earth, we will always love him, and remember, because he was very special, someday when it is our turn maybe we can see each other again!
Thank you for all the great music sir. I have listened to survivor since 1978, and both you singers are one of kind. My condolences. The Best are always taken too young...RH
I thought he was more into heavy songs l wouldnt be caught dead on a stage because l sound like granny clampett and tweety bird with a hangover imagine what that would be like
Даже в зрелом возрасте он не утратил своей юношеской магии, притягательности, утончённости и очарования. Его женщинам очень повезло, что в их жизни был такой мужчина, как он.
Ran into him when I was about 5 years old in Fred's Store Jonesboro Arkansas this would have been about 1984 give or take he ran into my mom and I asking for my dad, guitarist Mark Roberts
@drums42265 Ya? That doesn't offend me. This man is one of my most favorite male vocalists of all time. Did you read any of my previous comments? People like you always looking for the negative. LOL. I always thought he was from back east?!? Who cares? He can be from outerspace, I'd still do him.
To...RussX5z...praying for your hair line...LOL Hes gonna look awesome even if bold or when he gets old...the mans beauty is coming from within,,,like his singing
I can just imagine Jimi singing for the Doobie Brothers back in the day, before MM. He would have had the perfect voice for that band in the early 70s. It would have been in style. He never really looked 100% happy in that band, and it's rare, that you ever see him smile in any Survivor pics. Stephan Ellis usually looked very happy, but not Jimi.I just think he disliked power pop music, and preferred Elvis blues, or southern rock ie Allman brothers, or Lynard Skynard.
Jsalinar183, you have a dead ear when it come to comparing voices, Jamison, totally. Does not sound like Steve Perry, Jamison is ranked as one of the top male vocalists, he has a very strong and powerful. voice, Perry does not compare. to Jamison, talents
Unfortunately Steve perry is missing that deep heartfelt emotion but Jimi has it in spades. Jimi makes you feel every song to the fullest. He always feels mor real than any other singer I have listened to. Miss you forever
Forget that other guy.. Jimi jameison will always be the voice of survivor. A legendary singer and southern gentleman.
Agreed. I love Jimi very much he, is still amazing to this day.
What a gentleman!!!
Was so down to Earth, Humble. The live Japan concert and he sings the search is over is without a doubt one of the Best live performances Ever !

JJ was a great friend and entertainer.. miss you brother.. can we go back to 78?
How many siblings did Jimi have?
I would like to have a time machine ⏲️ and go back in time to find Jimi and stay with him forever! He was adorable, handsome, tender, sexy, and his voice, I liked him too much!😢
@@arcoirisomez2073 I believe he was an only child
the MOST under rated singer ever, RIP Jimi, you left us way way too soon
I'm a huge fan of Jimi Jamison. Imho, he's one of the best vocalists & human beings with whom God ever blessed this world. Thank you, Lord, I appreciate all that Jimi Jamison gave us!!!
I love this man. Wish he were still here.
He was so in good mood here, so relaxed, confortable. Very nice interview.

Amen... Jimi's voice will always be with us!!!
Great singer,great band and good memories to the survivor fans aroud the world.R.I.P. dear friend.
Whoa! Me hearing his southern accent was just as shocking to hear Steve Perry speak Portuguese....Learn something new....New to me.... LEGEND!
How did I not ever her his accent? Seems like he was a great guy.
I just heard the news Jimi , Rob Caudill called me in tears. You were always a friend without a ego. Everyone loved you . You always brought it big time because you are the real deal! Rest in Peace brother.
We'll catch up with you on the other side . Rock on!
Never knew he had a southern accent anyway very nice.
Rip!!!
Such a wonderful soul.
Jimmy was roommates with my brother David. It was neat to kind of know the guy and they were friends until he passed
@@Haliop-sv4uv no it was before he was with survivor . You don’t need to be a smart a22. My brother worked for MLGW and he an Jimi shared an apartment . They were friends during his entire life.

A really nice guy and a true musician!
RIP Jimi J.
OMG Thank you sooooo much for this. I had never heard him speak before, and I'm a HUGE fan!!!
He's talking about aunt Florence and uncle JJ 😊😊.
Listening to the radio constantly... if you do that nowadays - you're fn screwed.... haha
It was sad when jim died .
Wow. I didn't even think of that. Yeah, they definately should've signed him up.
Даже в зрелом возрасте он не утратил своей юношеской магии, притягательности, утончённости и очарования. Его женщинам очень повезло, что в их жизни был такой мужчина, как он.
R.I.P
He sounds very country of course being from the south. Would have never known this by the music of survivor.
Along with Patrick Fiori and Levi Stubbs, Jimi probably has the best male voice on the planet.
He looks part Native American
Yep, a lot of us from TN and KY have quite a bit of Cherokee blood.
Ran into him when I was about 5 years old in Fred's Store Jonesboro Arkansas this would have been about 1984 give or take he ran into my mom and I asking for my dad, guitarist Mark Roberts
I am going to memhis .Dos anyone know if there a Place playing Jimmys Music?Per from Sweden
Why would people expect him to be from NJ? Most Rock music comes from Memphis.
He's got a nice head of hair. I wish I have hair like his. Mine is receding. :( But growing in the process (hopefully).
rip
Interesting, wouldn’t’ve thought he had a Southern accent considering when he sings you don’t hear an accent!
@drums42265 Ya? That doesn't offend me. This man is one of my most favorite male vocalists of all time. Did you read any of my previous comments? People like you always looking for the negative. LOL. I always thought he was from back east?!? Who cares? He can be from outerspace, I'd still do him.
To...RussX5z...praying for your hair line...LOL
Hes gonna look awesome even if bold or when he gets old...the mans beauty is coming from within,,,like his singing
I'll tell ya when Steve Perry left Journey they should've used him. Cause Jimi sounds very similar to Steve Perry when he sings
I can just imagine Jimi singing for the Doobie Brothers back in the day, before MM. He would have had the perfect voice for that band in the early 70s. It would have been in style. He never really looked 100% happy in that band, and it's rare, that you ever see him smile in any Survivor pics. Stephan Ellis usually looked very happy, but not Jimi.I just think he disliked power pop music, and preferred Elvis blues, or southern rock ie Allman brothers, or Lynard Skynard.
He looked so much like Jose Canseco.....
Why
I can see that lol
thebeastlacey Hysterical. I just said thing on another video. He does look like Jose with bangs!
Don't do drugs kids
Jsalinar183, you have a dead ear when it come to comparing voices, Jamison, totally. Does not sound like Steve Perry, Jamison is ranked as one of the top male vocalists, he has a very strong and powerful. voice, Perry does not compare. to Jamison, talents
I have to say here though, that both of them belong right up there in top male rock vocalists, and Steve Perry is one of my mom's all time faves
My Sisters as well
Unfortunately Steve perry is missing that deep heartfelt emotion but Jimi has it in spades. Jimi makes you feel every song to the fullest. He always feels mor real than any other singer I have listened to. Miss you forever
@Supermonkey22 Yea, I would've thought he'd have a New Jersey accent or something...I am kind of turned off.
RIP Jimi.
