- Vocal Coach Reacts to Survivor | I Can't Hold Back | Jimi Jamison | Live | Ken Tamplin
Survivor is a band that to me is one of the unsung heroes of the 80s.
Part of what I get to do with these reactions is to share with you the music that has influenced me and Survivor is definitely one of those bands.
Though best known for their hit “Eye Of The Tiger”, the band put out so many other great songs.
The 80s were the most successful period for the band and they produced numerous singles that topped the charts in the US.
Jimi Jamison was made the frontman in 1984 after original lead singer Dave Bickler developed vocal fold nodules and had to have surgery. Throughout the band’s career, the two were swapped back and forth as lead singer.
For today’s reaction we’ll be looking at a live performance with Jamison as lead singer performing their hit “I Can’t Hold Back”.
I hope you enjoy the video and I encourage you to check out some more of their stuff.
Please make sure to let me know what you thought of the performance!

Jimi is my favorite rock singer of all time
same here! Best AOR voice ever, most touching!
Jimi, Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury. 3 untouchable singers. Jimi deserves more respect, recognition.
Thanks, Gokhan!
Wow you literally just named my top 3 singers. Not necessarily in that order but it would be hard for me to put the in order.
Amen
THANK YOU! You just captured the planet's Top Rock Vocalists / Vocal Perfectionists!
I agree, and I personally would add Michael Bolton to that list, but yes, they cannot be touched
Finally, someone doing survivor besides eye of the tiger. Jimi was a criminally underrated singer. Only one that compares to him would be Steve Perry. Such a mega loss when he passed. R.I.P Jimi!!
A great loss indeed, Kevin!
Yea, must do Desperate dreams. Truthfully there is no bad song when Jimi was on vocals, and not trying to take away anything from Dave Bickler. Jimi had that rare. melodic voice that was kind of haunting at times.
Desperate Dreams is one of the best Melodic rock tracks ever IMHO. Jamison is simply brilliant!
NickCobra SWEET JIMI was AMAZING ✨✨✨
I agree and funny enough Jimi wasn’t even in the band when eye of the tiger was recorded and released
Jimi Jamison...one of the best vocalists in the history of rock. All TALENT, no autotune. Great review Ken!
He was fantastic!!
theyre a true classic , i STILL listen to all their hits
Jimi The Voice Jamison. The greatest Voice in the history of rock n roll.
Survivor is a great band and he really was a great vocalist. Note to young singers, no autotune. I'm quite happy that you sing.
Jimi had a beautiful, unique voice. Thank you for the memory of this great singer who put his heart into his singing.
From Target, Cobra, Survivor to his solo career, he had a lot of great songs. He was a musician in body, soul and heart 💯❤🔥
One of the best vocalist to come out of Memphis if not the best. Rip Jimi
This is my FAVORITE Survivor song. The entire Vital Signs album is amazing. I could put this one album on repeat and for days and not get tired of it. Jimi had it all-looks, sweet Southern charm, and PIPES to match. I think he is one of my top 10 favorite voices of the 80s. Gone way too soon. He was still going strong without losing much up until his untimely death.
I don’t think he was an addict. I read that it could have been diet pills that may have interacted with an already compromised heart condition.
When I first saw this concert online I was convinced it was lip syncing! It’s so spot on with the album. I love Steve Perry, but I ADORE Jimi Jamison. It’s nice to be able to understand lyrics as they are sung because the singer is crisp and enunciates and still able to hold a note. Jimi had that talent.
Read this very carefully. And accept this truth:
Jimi Jamison is the single most overlooked singer in rock history. He had just as much, if not more, power than the mighty Steve Perry, and others. Jimi, though, could do it all. Falsetto, grit, brassy, subtle. MONSTER. If you are offended because Ken said it sounds like Perry.... I think he's better. On MANY different levels.
They pigeonholed this band as an 80's soundtrack band, but Jimi, Jim Peterik, and Frankie Sullivan are all MONSTERS. ABSOLUTE MONSTERS.
And Ken, his voice isn't softer, its in control and placed exactly where he wanted it. Listen to the album Too Hot To Sleep. POWER. GRITTY, BALLS-OUT power. You are right that he had great tone. And great versatility. And range. And melodic sense.
Thanks for weighing in, Davey!
Jimi is a powerhouse on Too Hot to Sleep. No frills hard rock album that arrived during the glam rock era, and did not fit in, did not chart well. After that album Jimi was offered the lead singer spot in Deep Purple but his management didn’t let him do it. However, Ron Nevison should take some credit in coaching Jimi how to sing his best.
So agree He could sing anything. At any age. Brilliant.
Spot on Davey , Jimi had an amazing voice and singing ability. The band really adapted well after he replaced Bickler. My favorite song is “ Didn’t Know it was Love “ I listen to it everyday!!
Agreed,if you listen to First Night it starts off so melancholy and Rocks so hard that if you watch the video you can see Jimi and Frankie feeding off each other it's magic.
Chills down the spine his voice hits you..
Totally.
Thank you for paying homage to this beautiful and talented man. The only singer that gives me the chills that Steve Perry does. His face was perfection.
Right! I had to respond about the face being perfection...I'm a long-standing atheist and seriously that face could almost make me believe god created man!
Jimi had an unbelievable voice. That show from.Japan is classic and he sings absolutely perfect pitch & range. I regret not ever seeing them live but I never expected Jimi to be gone so soon🙏🎤 Ken check out Jimi's last few solo albums- outstanding as well !!
Thank you for your kind words about Jimi. To me he was the 80s best singer ever. His voice was mesmerizing. From the first time I heard it until the last time he sang. Always perfect just like the albums. He is so missed.💔
I agrre on the best male voice. He's is perfection. He is a Virgo! Sexy!
I was reminiscing today and realized while watching Survivor vids that Jimi's lyrics were always understandable. I was in love with his energy and I wanted to jump him during all those years. He still had it in his 60's and cardiovascular disease got him in the end. Such talent and warmth in his voice.
Rock on!
Jimi Jamison really should have been treasured so much more what a voice, love man against the world
👍
That’s one of my all time favs! Jimi was a hometown Memphis boy. He lived only a few miles from where I live. Tragic rock star ending. RIP Jimi
Stephen Pope ❤️
Absolutely one of the best voices. I miss this group terribly.
👍
I took my girl friend at the time to see Survivor I wasn't really excited at first when i had to do this i was into Metal music at the time( Dokken, Etc..) and the only way i could get her to go with me to see Aerosmith /Dokken show i had to go see Survivor. I will say this now Survivor was OUTSTANDING , I was so glad that i went to the show , just a fine performance !
I’m so jealous. I never got to see him live.
Jimi r.i.p.one the great. Ones wonderful voice great.person
Absolutely correct Ken about Jimi's voice and Survivor. Great hooks, great harmonies, and live they always sounded like the albums, which most bands could never do (Don Dokken)
👍
Warm tones and pitch perfect. Jimi was also an absolutely outstanding showman. He had a phenomenal stage presence as well. Survivor post Eye the tiger circa 1982 offers some of the best melodic rock-pop you’ll ever hear from the early to mid-1980s. I am so pumped that you posted this you have absolutely no idea. Jimi Jamison is an absolute legend! Had the pleasure of meeting him once in 1995 and hanging out for a good 30 minutes or so. A total gentleman and super down to earth. It still bothers me to know that he is no longer physically with us
Not overdone. Just right there
Ken, you have every right to be as nostalgic as you want. I’m going to be 52 years old in July and I’ve been singing for 45 years. That era from the early 1980s to me was the best music period everfor melodic rock.The music of my youth. Jimi Jamison is simply one of the best ever. You said it so eloquently. Perfect pitch, A wonderful range, and beautiful beautiful vocal tones. He was also an absolutely phenomenal showman, and one of the kindest most down to earth guys you would ever want to meet in the music business. It still breaks my heart that he is no longer physically here. Thank you so much for giving him the credit that he’s so well deserves as an amazing vocalist and performer. Please take a moment and watch this version of I can’t hold back from 1996 with Jimi’s solo band. These guys were all from Memphis Tennessee and we’re all really good studio musicians. I think you may really enjoy this because they rock the song out a little bit harder. Let me know what you think. ruclips.net/video/3xoMS3Q0aLg/видео.html
👍😀
I miss Jim so much, his heart was his voice 💔
Jimi had one of the best voices in music history
Thank you for making this video. Jimi Jamison in my opinion is one of the most underrated vocalists of all time. He could sing like this all the way up until his untimely death.
He was great, indeed!
Let's not forget the high background vocals from the guitar player spot on as well, great duo of vocals! Thanks for your job! Great video!
One of my survivor favorites, love how it starts slow and it gradually adds intensity to express the emotional explosion
Great song!
Jimi was right up there with all the other AOR kings like Steve Perry, John Waite, Mickey Thomas, Richard Page, or Marcie Free.
Fabulous singers all of them.
It's the singer, not the song! ;) Cheerio.
He really was fantastic!
So much passion in his voice.
@@kentamplin I was a fan of Bickler (the original singer of Eye OF The Tiger) until Jimi started with them on the album "Vital Signs"! such a shame.
THANK YOU for including Mark Free aka Marcie Free. What an underrated singer bu truly one of the best. I would love to see Ken react to Mark if there's any live clips out there that do the voice justice!
Mickey Thomas was also bloody brilliant and underrated as well I feel...
Saw Bryan Adams in May of 1985 at the Omni in Atlanta, and Survivor opened for him. Talk about a great night of music! Jimi had a phenomenal voice and Survivor was all over Mtv and the radio that year. Good times. 🙂
Awesome!
Oh I've been wainting for Mr. Jamison here for a long time. Very underrated singer and underrated band.
Right? There were so many really great bands of that era. We were spoiled.
I am down the I Can'Hold Back rabbit hole and enjoying every second. It is one of my favorite videos of all time.
I am also a singer. I used to sing in a cover band in the 90s. Great videos. Keep them coming.
Singing from out of this world!!!
Another one of The Great Ones!!
"Survivor" one of the greatest bands in my eyes. "Jimi" beautiful voice thank you for the memories brother. Rest and eternal peace 🙏✝️♥️.
My favorite singer from my favorite band of all time.
Jonathan King 👍👍👍
YAY!!! Thank you for reviewing this one! I so
I love Jimi's voice....I can listen to Jimi all day everyday. Such a shame he's passed..I can only imagine the music he would have put out if he were still alive...Survivor is awesome.. He makes me wanna sing too😊
You're absolutely right with the Jamie and Steve comparison. Jamie doesn't get the love he should have gotten in his time.
Let's give him some now. Listen to more of his work.
I always listen to all of his songs. And this "I can't hold back" is one of my favorite ❤ song.
Thanks to your video 😊
@@kentamplin he did not die over drugs. He died of a heart attack.
@@mick5628 if you read all of the info on the internet about his death , he did have heart issues, but he died of a stroke, partly due to Meth use.
Jimi
JIMI Jamison!!! good analysis excellent song and Jimis voice- what a gift. Exquisite
Rock on!
I came across this video of course being a Survivor Fan. Jimi has always fascinated me with his amazing vocals! Simple, yet precise, the way he sounded live exactly....EXACTLY...like he did on the record, cassette tape, which ever you listened to back then. Just a "Country Boy" from Tennessee. That was what I admired about Jimi, the way he stayed humble, interacted with his fans. Just an all around great guy! Btw I enjoyed listening to you sing with Jimi 💎🌠 If any of your subscribers have never listened to Survivor, well....other than "Eye Of The Tiger" I hope they do, they won't regret it. Just like Journey, very unique in their own right! 💖💖
I am 51 y.o. guy from Athens Greece.
Eye of the tiger was my first record i ever bought as a 11-12 y.o. boy.
Since then Survivor music just became my life's soundtrack.
Every moment, every period in my life is marked or curved with one or more songs of my favorite band.
I can still remember the days that a new release was on disc stores.
Great times. Great band.
Thanks for the review.
Survivor's Vital Signs is one of my favorite albums of all time. Great singing and such unique guitar parts. I love the song "Popular Girl" and "It's the Singer, Not the Song". Awesome selection, Ken!
Nothing wrong with nostalgia (aka memories) brother ...without it (them) we have nothing to remind us of our existence or of the time from where we came. Rock on!
Feel the hand of fate... goosebumbs everytime...
The incredible sound of the '80s. The variety, the contagious spirit of music that was well written, fantastically played, and phenomenally sung. What a great band, song, album, and era.
His name was Jimi, not Jamie. He does have a son named Jamie.
Please don’t say that we lost him to drugs. That was the sensationalistic news headline. He had a serious heart condition and that’s what ultimately took my friend away. He was certainly not a junkie.
He was a phenomenal talent, and a kind and generous man who always had time for his fans, always found time to help charities (especially St. Jude hospital in his hometown of Memphis) and loved his kids above all else.
Thank you for doing this, and appreciating both Jimi’s voice and Jim Peterik’s song.
I was in one of the recording sessions for Jimi’s “Crossroads Moment” album. Imagine hearing **that voice** four feet from you, no microphones or speakers.
I still get chills after all these years. We lost him in 2014, and it still hurts.
Thanks for sharing about your friend, Jimi.
@@kentamplin My pleasure. If you REALLY want chills, listen to "Man Against The World." Makes me cry.
Hey Paul, with all due respect, while he did have cardiovascular disease, the autopsy concluded that Jimi died of a hemorrhagic brain stroke, with "acute methamphetamine intoxication contributing." I think it is important to be honest about it, and as a fan I'd like to think he would want it that way as a deterrent to others. Not saying he was a junkie, just a human being with faults like all of us, who accomplished a lot in his lifetime and left us with some wonderful music.
Paul ❤❤❤❤❤
@@pbraun2102 Man Against the World is kind of the lonely guy's anthem. Should have been a hit. The vibrato in Jimi's voice, combined with that layer of grit is money ! Equivalent to Steve Perry's special resonate+smokey blend. Unique singers in their own ways who elevate songs.
Man, that sounded exactly like the record. Amazing.
Thanks for the visit, Adam!
This was a "spotless" song just like the record.
Absolutely, Dan!
Survivor was awesome back in the day. Being from Central Illinois; they were from Chicago, Survivor was huge when I was growing up. I remember they were always on the radio on all of the Peoria rock stations! AND.. Frankie Sullivan great guitar riffs... and Jim Peterik's GREAT song writing!
He was gorgeous RIP Jamie Great singer
Great singer.
At last some true recognition for this incredible singer
👍😀
Finally some attention to Survivor! One of my all time favorite bands. "It's the singer..." but the songs are equally important imo. Survivor's songs were always fantastic. TIP: check out Pride of Lions, Jim Peterik's (Survivor keyboard player) current band -- good one for a REACTION!!!
Really great band. Super talented.
I used to wear out my survivor tapes and you cant help but to sing along with Jimi. It is a tragedy that he passed, he was one of rocks all time greats though rarely recognized.
Jimi’s voice in the search is over is one of the best I’ve ever heard. It’s one of my wish voices.
Thanks for the visit, rock on! 😀
Jimi's most impressive vocal performance for me was "In Good Faith." from his 'When Seconds Count' album. Something about In Good Faith makes me feel warm all over like a kid on Christmas morning.
Jimi was amazing, people should know more Survivor, they have so many great songs. I'm glad to see you reacting to him. Still holding hope for INXS reaction.
Thanks for showing Survivor some love.
I like Dave Bickler, but I love Survivors albums with Jimi on lead. I’m 27, so I never had a chance to see them, but they are my favorite 80s rock band.
He is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. I love this!
KEN TAMPLIN,
JJ was truly respected in the music industry.
Not only did he have one of the greatest voices that could wipe the floor with some today,
but was known to be a kind and generous man who took the time to help others with music.
God bless him.
Ria ❤️
They were great in concert. I thought they were not given the full recognition that they deserved. It's been a long time since I have listened to Survivor's music. I also had no idea that Jamie Jamison had passed, 5 yrs. ago. What a voice and what a loss. Great choice again Ken. Thank you
Hi Ken...just subscribed. I am 57 and was always familiar with Survivor but not Jimi Jamison. I was very familiar with Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury. But wow...Jimi is my personal favorite. I am learning more about him. Never saw these bands in the 80's....wish I had. Jimi should have received a lot more recognition. Your singing does not bother me whatsoever during videos. You seem like a really cool and talented dude.
I use to do janitor work in our local high school at night when I was buffing floors I would put this album on the P.A system and it would play in every room and hallway it was awesome :-)
Probably one of the finest AOR songs ever crafted from beginning to end that wasn’t performed by Foreigner or Journey. Really a shame that out of all your subscribers, only a handful are aware of how many terrific songs the band had back in the 80s. While a totally faceless band, they have the rare distinction of having two of the finest vocalists melodic rock has ever heard in Bickler and Jamison. A wonderful band with some brilliantly crafted songs from Peterik/Sullivan. Thank you for giving them some attention!
Thank you, 😊.
Survivor did not have a good publicist for sure. What a shame, cause they could have kept going throughout the 1990s with better exposure.
Love Jimi Jamison and Survivor.. Listen/watch their 1985 Japan tour live..I'm not That Man Anymore, I See You in Everyone.. Video. Didn't Know It Was Love.. Só many great songs and his vocals are amazing. .Poor management company.. Watch his videos everyday.. such a great voice.. delivery.. And so very easy on the eyes.
Their song High On You is awesome, too. Lots of instrumental emotion on that one.
A really great band that deserves to be revisited. Have a, "Survivor" jam session this weekend! Throw in a little "Rocky" while you're at it...
The song "High On You" always held a little bit of irony for me after Jimi died from being high on too much other stuff, but I still trot it out for karaoke.
You are right, sir. Album perfect. Amazing.
Jimi was one of my favorite singers from the 80’s. I loved Survivor. What a great band. Thanks for this, Ken.
Great band!
I LOVE him and this band, Jimi is one of my top faves!
& as a GINOMOUS SP fan, you are 100% accurate. This is STEVE PERRY PERFECT!
JIMI JAMISON WAS THE BEST PURE VOCALIST EVER!
what a tasteful singing for a rocker! that guy was really musically gifted! thx Ken :)
You're right Ken, Survivor was a great band. Had all their cassettes.
I'm glad you agree, Stoney Burke!
Love Jimi's voice. Listen to him singing almost daily with Survivor or The Crossroads moment CD songs written for Jimi by Jim Peterick, formerly of Survivor. Fantastic songs on all.
Just as close as you can be from perfection. "Man Against the World" is another awesome song, it should've been on the Rocky IV movie too
Isn't it wonderful? Bring back real music!
@@kentamplin I "rediscovered" Survivor when I was rearranging my LP's and came across "Vital Signs".So many awesome songs by these guys!!!
Jim Peterick is an awesome song writer (he was founder of Ides of March...is an excellent singer,guitarist and pianist in his own right!!)
He wrote many songs with Frankie Sullivan.Jimi Jamison had the voice of an angel!!Just as spot on as Steve Perry.
Love many of their hits:
Man Against The World,
I See You In Everyone,
It's the Singer,Not The Song,
many others.
I believe the bassist Stephen Ellis and the drummer Marc Broubry(sp?) have also passed away.
Wonderful artists!!!
🙏💔😿💙🙋
@@jeanettedarrin6743 The bass player did (in 2019 I believe) but the drummer Marc is still playing with the current arrangement of Survivor
ooo GamerX ooo Marc left the band.
I was floored the first time I heard that song !
I listened to it 4 times in a row with stunned disbelief at how good it actually is .
One of the great singers..chills when he goes into that "I can feel you tremble when we touch.."! Good to see you enjoy yourself Ken. Thanks for sharing as always. Blessings
Dont apologize for comparing Jimi to Steve Perry ....... your right ! . I was in Panama City Beach Florida in 1994 and had the pleasure of seeing these guys live on a $5.00 pre tour show (basically a warm up tour to get into shape the up comming tour ).It was on a Sunday evening on the Spinnaker Beach Club stage . I must have accidentally gotten right in front of the band during this song . Any ways , Jimi extended the mic to me and I shared the heart of the song with him . Just a really talented and gracious guy !.
I am pretty certain that you have seen this, but if not..."Jami Jamison Live at Firefest 2012" is incredible, this man......almost 30 years past their amazing album "Vital Signs," is still kicking ass and completely on pitch...RIP!!!! God Bless, it is hard to find someone like Jimi who makes singing anything sound so easy....
Thanks for the thoughts!
"Beautiful " - may he rest in peace.. Amen 💜
kelly higgins ❤️
Thanks so much for doing this, great band and songs!!!
You're welcome, Kofijeff!
I always thought Jimi’s voice was somewhat similar to Steve’s as well. Amazing tone, “spot on” pitch, beautiful tremolo.. so clear and crisp. Love the feeling he exudes when he performs too. RIP Jimi.
I'm glad we agree, MonsterMetalManiac!
Thanks Ken. Now go find those glasses of yours and put them on.. lol.
One thing that gets overlooked is as great as he is !
He did concerts until he passed .
I believe his last concert was 2 or 3 days before he passed away !
I believe he was arguably the best singer of his time !
I also gathered he was a humble down to earth guy .
He made time for his fans .
Being accessible to your fans is becoming more of a rarity these days !
What artists don't understand is if they don't have a fanbase they aren't relevant .
You're absolutely right!!
He posted on Facebook the day he died, September 1st.
@@leyla.007😢
Totally agree with you, Ken...Jimi was awesome!!!! 💗💗💗
He was. Gone too soon.
I just love this band, and Jimi Jameson what a singer, fucking awesome bro 🤘🎩🦅
Great singer!
Yepp ✌🎩🤘
Jamie is a legend in Memphis. Everyone loves that guy. Good reason to. Very good singer.
Very good.
As Casey Kasem called Jimi Jamison "The Voice". Jimi had a beautiful tone to his voice, also powerful and range. If you haven't heard his version of an earlier Survivor song "Ever Since the World Began" you need to. Dave Bickler (also a great singer) sang the original version that appears on the album Eye of the Tiger. Jimi's version was on the end of the Stallone movie Lock Up, and it's a magical version. Also "Man Against the World" by Survivor is such an amazing vocal performance. Jimi simply was the best!
😀👍
Jimi's solo stuff is great. He continued to excel with his songwriting and was very underrated.
Awesome reaction video Ken !!!🤘😁👍Survivor is Awesome !!! 😁👍
Jimi was fantastic. He could sing anything and make it beautiful. It’s so sad how he passed. A true legend
Indeed!
Found it! I agree with your feelings of nostalgia, too. 😁💜
Thanks for the listen, Mamakathy!
One of the greatest rock voices of all time.
👍
Thank you for this. JIMI May have been undeservedly underrated but he was AMAZING, his Heart as Golden as his VOICE and he will never be forgotten. Forever and Always his voice will live♥️✨♥️
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Belle!
Love it when you sing, Ken! Thx for sharing this! In my opinion, Jimi was one of the BEST vocalists of all time. He'll live on through his music forever.
⛅🎶🎤^j^🎶⛅
Thanks so much, michellej!
I love when Ken sings too. Very lovely! GS
Keep singing in your videos, Ken! Always loved Survivor. “High on You” is another great one with Jimi.
Ken, Totally agree he had an awesome voice, great ballad singer and Survivor had really nice melodies in their tunes. I still have them in my 80's playlist from a streaming service I will not mention here. BTW-get reading glasses-we call them cheaters-not so bad-I did few years back. Only hurts for a second and once you do you will leave pairs everywhere. Love your channel-Thx
I was 10 in 1985. This song brings up emotions that I will always celebrate, and I'm right there singing along with you excitedly. It's one of the greatest feelings I have. I celebrate it. Loudly. Off-key and all. Know no shame. Thank's for bringing back great music. RIP Jimi.
His voice is truly one of the best. Especially for the 1980s. It brings chills when you hear a singer use so much emotion to his or her voice. Lyrics play a huge part too. When you have an average song and have a singer like Jimi singing it you have a great song! It was very sad that he passed away. If I could sing like him just for my own entertainment I would be forever happy. No one would even have to hear it but me. Unfortunately I do not have that range with so much power in the voice. When I read when people ask the question, who do you think is the greatest singer of these four people and give a list of such great vocalists it really upsets me because you cannot choose and that’s when you know you love music. To be honest even though he originally never sang The Eye of the Tiger I thought for sure it was Steve Perry and Journey. I even remember exactly where I was when I heard that song for the first time. I was fishing for catfish and it came over the radio around 2 AM. It was in the summer and there was a light fog. I was in a band then and our bass player was with me. I remember both of us stop talking because the voice just rang out perfectly. Later on I heard Jimi sing the song and it was equally as great if not better. OK I am rambling on but I too get very nostalgic when I hear great bands with great singers. I truly miss those days and sadly I know they will never come back.
Thanks, Tbug. Rock on!
Love this review!!!! 🙌 I appreciate everything you said, even if you didn’t need to say it! Everything said or sang, and every emotion was spot on to what I’ve known about this song! Loved rocking to this with you sir! 🙌 Thank you for this! Thank you for reviewing this song! 💪😤
Jimi was a legend. I loved him so. Beautiful voice
A legend indeed, Natural Law Health!
I can always tell when it's a vocalist you really like. You smile constantly! I really love Jimi's voice too. I have ever since Vital Signs. Shame we lost him. RIP Jimi
Gone too soon.
Love him!!
Rock on!
Survivor was SO good in that era... great rock... the guy fans could dig the vibe and feel the inspiration... and also have the ballad feel and softer stuff that appealed to the ladies and helped us all discover things
