Rest In Peace Jimi Jamison...the voice of AOR music...the man who took just an average song and turned it into a masterpiece....what a loss...he was the BEST....
After being in a deep coma for over three months and fighting to make a recovery,this song gave me the strength to go on with my life.Fighting back hell on earth with this great song.
So are so right my friend. Great music regardless of the genre will always stand the test of time. After all these years I still find myself listening to this song almost daily, and always will!
Wow! Jimi's voice is so incredible. So much passion and feeling. He could sing soft or belt out the rockers he was truly in a class by himself. Few rock singers could ever compare.
I was one of Jimi's friends and he had a great gift; an awesome voice! I met him in Memphis when he was just 14 years old and I knew he was going straight to the top with a voice like that! Jimi, you are missed but your music is here to stay!!
Jimi voice was difinitely God's gift to us. He was chosen to be an amazing singer that he was. Jimi is a legend and his beautiful face and voice will never be forgotten. He will be forever walking in Memphis with his idol the Great Elvis Presley side by side.🥰🥰❤️❤️.
Thanks for sharing this. I love to hear things about a artist before they became famous. I,ve only heard beautiful things about him as being a good person. I wish that l could of met him and known such a great talented singer and a amazing man.👍👍❤️❤️💋.
I totally agree,Only really got into Survivor a few years ago although I am 48years old!! Don't worry I wasn't living on another planet but It makes me realise how truly an underrated band they were.Their songs sounded like they were written last week and don't sound dated. CLASSIC ROCK.Plus UA-cam has helped me get into Melodic/AOR bands I'd never even heard of although I've always heard of Survivor but Eye Of The Tiger was their only song I knew.
@@adrianbradley8513 exactly the same with me my brother, even comparable age. As for only knowing eye of the tiger - last week on Australian tv one of the hosts on a evening show took the piss slightly in a joke about eye of the tiger being a one hit wonder... i thought to myself , little do you know that survivor has many songs better than eye of the tiger you fool.
@@stluciestrength It was the fourth track and the third single released from their 1986 album When Seconds Count. The song was originally to be included on the soundtrack to the 1985 film Rocky IV, but was ultimately cut from the final tracklist. The song did appear as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue of the Rocky IV soundtrack album, along with Survivor's two other Rocky-related singles - the #1 hit "Eye of the Tiger" (the smash hit from Rocky III) and "Burning Heart," which was the song ultimately chosen for the Rocky IV soundtrack and peaked at #2.
For me, this is the BEST Survivor song ever: the lyrics, the melody, the message, the voice, the conviction - you can feel all this in this song! Jimi Jamison's rendition will always be outrageous, incomparable!
I feel the same about Ever Since the World Began. Bickler did it first I think for the Rocky three soudtrack. Jimi did his own version for another Stallone film Lock Out. I wish I could buy a copy of Jimis version but the only one released any Survivor album is Bickler. Jimis version is just better. Jimi has a lower voice that can reach with power to the high notes in that song without going shrill and keeps the lower manly power as he goes. Bicklers is lighter, and a little less control when he hits the high nots. Tommy Shaw did a version later and the same thing. It is good and I love Shaw but his voice is also too high and loses the power and lower tone into the high notes that Jimi could carry.
Just listened to this great song again. One of my favorites.The way Jimi sings it is like no one else can. His beautiful and powerful voice with the emotion and yearning in his voice is really unmatched. He just pulls the listener into his magic. When things get to be "too much", i just listen to his songs and everything else fades away. He is the best singer I've ever heard and it's tragic he's no longer here but he will live on in our hearts and the beautiful music he left us. We all love and miss you Jimi!
We will always miss him, and love him, Jimi was a beautiful human being not only physically he had a beautiful heart, his voice will live eternally with us 💕🎶
This magical song is a metaphor for all those who have to climb the biggest mountains alone. Sometimes we all feel like a man against the world, or a boat against the tide.
Timeless rock ballad. Rest in peace Jimi. Such a mellodic voice that cannot be replaced by artists of today. 80s music was talent without too much of synth
This song is nothing less than beautiful, and Jimi's performance is achingly powerful. Jimi, you were unbelievably gifted, and you leave a void that will never be truly filled. You didn't just sing because you could; you sang because you truly had the music within and that sincere feeling came through to touch the hearts of so many. I'm just so sorry one of the worst vices in existence took you away when you still had so much life yet to live. You were truly the rarest of gems. My heart goes out to you and to your family, and I wish you all peace.
I saw the Jimi interview here on You Tube where he discussed his love of music and how he felt it was a higher art form than any other. He felt music touches a spot in a persons sould that nothing else can match. He couldnt imagine doing anything else with his life than singing. It was everything to him and you could tell that because every song he ever sang sounded like he wrote it and it came directly from his soul.
jimi Jamison had a wonderful voice and survivor was a great band will always be remembered for the classic rocky soundtrack burning heart may he rest in peace
Amazing. Freddie Mercury did the same with his last hit Show Must Go On. In Freddie’s case he did so even though he was dying from AIDS. In fact, his condition was so dire he can barely stand and was in constant pain. But once he sang his voice remained powerful and clear. RIP to both of them
Jimi's voice was powerful and fit nicely with the heavier music with the bands Cobra and Target but when Jim Peterik sought him out for Survivor he unlocked the actual magic of Jimi's voice. The soaring ballads were perfect for the power and cry that is in his voice. He could play out the melody for long phrases that really allowed that cry in his voice to elicit emotions in the listener.
@@pilarmartinez9753 jimi lo tenia todo era como un paquete completo! Era sexy, lindo, simpatico, humilde, con sentido del humor, encima de todo tenía una voz tan hermosa🎤😍 capaz de enamorar a cualquiera.
some voices are beautiful,others are technically perfect,but there are very few voices that can make you feel so much with every note they hit,take your ability to speak because you know you will cry if you open your mouth.thank you for everything you gave us jimi
Jim P. and Frankie S. blow me away with all the great songs they've written. And even though Jim P. is a great song writer on his own, I always felt that when he collaborated with Frankie that it raised him to an even higher level. And what can you say about Jimi J's voice, just incredible! It is so sad that he's gone. He left us way too soon.
Hi Shirley I'd recommend prophet TB Joshu's channel emmanuel tv to you . With Jesus Christ , distance is not a barrier . Search for testimonies as people pray along with him via tv , computer to confirm and build you belief . As he is used as an instrument by God, he'll do same for yo and your son emmanuel.tv/media/videos
As I understand, it was partly poor promotion by one of their record labels.... Jim Peterik mentions that (& a lot of other interesting details) in his bio, "Through the Eye of the Tiger". I agree, so many of their songs (besides Eye of the Tiger) should have been even bigger. Luckily you can check out most of them here on YT, well worth the dive.
What a great composer Jim Peterik and a great singer Jimi was. When this song in my ears i dont feel lonely in this world. Thank You Jimi for your great soul. We miss you so much. Hope to listen you in Heaven one day...
I seldom say this : This song is Sooooooooooooo UNDERRATED. I had to discover it on UA-cam a year ago as I never heard it on the radio. The quality of this melody is very high and ''Man Against The World'' should be amongst the 80s classics. What a piece of gold this song!
I also had discovered it just yesterday 4/20/18...from someone who did an awesome cover, (nailed it) didn't know who sang it originally then realize it later it was Jimi Jamison & Survivor, what a great song!...been listening to it many times since then...hehehe
I remember hearing this from their When Seconds Count album, thinking this was one of their best from it and it was going to be a hit. Well that didn't happen, but I believe it's a fan favorite. My sis went to see them in concert in 1987 and told me everyone was crying when they performed this song.
Thank you for for sharing your beautiful voice with the world! Thank you for all of your visits back home to Attala and Holmes County Mississippi! We love you and miss you! Rest In Peace my friend!
You can't beat Jimi Jamison's voice. It is addicting. Perfect on ballads and a great rock singer also. Love all of his songs on Survivor CDs and his personal CDs. Listening to this man's voice every day. He was beyond magical. ❤
I love this song, Jimi Jamison of Survivor and Steve Perry of Journey and Lou Gramm of Foreigner were the best vocals of the 80's hands down! Rest in Peace Jimi
Agree. Male vocal powerhouses. I would keep Perry at the top of that list though as I think that is the best male rock voice - EVER. Jamison was very good. Doesn't quite have Perry's power and falsetto, but he's serviceable!! Lou was a beast!! :)
One of the most underrated singers, not to mention, bands. Starting at 1:40, one of the best bridges to a song. Perry is rated as one of greatest singer's of rock, yet Jamison's talent is equally impressive, on all counts. Tone, emotion, range, song writing ability, frontman, and on another note, blessed with that angelic, beautiful face. Jimi you left us way too soon, you are missed.
Yea, I was just thinking of the same thing ... the beautiful vocal talents of yester-years ... how come we don't have these anymore!?!!! And, indeed, Jimi Jamison did have a beautiful face!
Perry is great. But this guy (whoever he is) sings more effortlessly even in the highs. Dynamics are great. Though perry's vocals are more distinct. This guy probably is better and his vocals aren't tested yet in this song. Would be nice to see him sing Nessun Dorma hehehe
Great song and a great band. Very underrated. Such a powerful voice. Was very sad to hear he passed away a while back. Will miss any new music they would've put out but will always listen to all the great songs they gave us.
Jimi your amazing voice soars to the heavens. When you sing this song. They don't write songs or sing songs like this anymore. I give you a Man Against The World the great Jimi Jamison. This will for me be your song eturnaly. Your voice soars to the heavens when you sing this song. So beautifully sung it still gives me chills even in 2022. I wish that you were still here 💔💔😭😭😭🕊️🕊️❤️🔥❤️🔥🎤🎤🎶🎼✨✨
I never knew he passed away until 3 weeks ago. Jimi had an amazing voice. Man against the world should have been a top 5 in my book. lot better than the crap that is out there now
If i was given a chance to go back in time.. I will definitely choose the timeline where Jimi Jamison was still alive.. way back then were the music are very soulful unlike today
Jimmy Jamison ( rip ) the greatest vocals of all time ... he had it all a powerful vocals ...good looks ... great songs .... but unfortunately gone too soon ..... A legend
Great Voice,Great Sounds the best american rock of 80'....the soundtrack of many unforgettable moments. Thank you Jimi, goes with the light. Rest in peace
The song is beautifully crafted. Love the lyrics especially "a brand new day will shine through the avalanche of time." So much struggle, hope and strength of human spirit in one song. Epic!
These guys take the 1980s Arena Rock to its highest level. It's sad that this truly inspirational band has been somewhat forgotten. Their songs are timeless, and badly needed in a world and a land that seems to have lost the overcoming spirit that is desperately needed now, as it always was.
Just a reminder, Jimi Jamision did not sing “Eye of the tiger”. The eye of the tiger was sung by the original lead singer, “Dave Bickler”. Watch this at /watch?v=q8g-WgGX5L8
Esta cancion en particular, siempre que la escucho, me hace llorar, y yo se porque, porque llega a lo mas profundo de mi corazon y del alma. Tambien por la voz angelical de Jimmi. Algo que no puede lograr la musica de ahora. Que privilegio el de haber tenido artistas como los de los 80s y sus canciones, en particular Survivor, Journey, etc
Amiga, no eres la única que se emociona con esta canción, Jimi Jamison, Q.E.P.D,tenia una voz maravillosa, un encanto para interpretar, sin dudas, un verdadero artista, que nunca será olvidado por nosotros sus fans, que pena tan grande que se fuera tan joven, el mundo de la música, debería homenajearlo por su legado y por dejar tan hermosas melodias, tuve la suerte de verlo de cerca en el aeropuerto de Santiago de Chile, un tipo muy simpático y humilde, siempre se te extrañará jimi.
El gran Jimi con su personalidad humilde y carismática reflejó en su voz sublime lo que era. Gracias Jimi por tus interpretaciones en Cobra, Survivor y como solista. Tu legado seguirá intacto por siempre.
Por último, algo que se me olvidó, si es que no conocen la canción de survivor "ever since the world began" cuando el vocalista era Dave Bickler, escuchen la versión de Jimi... La interpretó magistralmente para la película condena brutal de Stallone, en ese momento me di cuenta que Bickler era cantante "solo" para el "ojo del tigre".
Who's Still Listening 2024❤ Now The Roads Grown Long But The Spirits 💪,And The 🔥 Within Still Burns Alone I Take My Stand I Give You A Man Against The 🌎
A cool note from the liner notes of one of the greatest hits compilations - They had Jimi lay down the vocals first, expecting to do multiple takes - as is normal. However, after the 1st take, Peterik said "we're not getting a better vocal than that" so they went and put instruments around the vocals and that's a wrap!
Wow Jimi was so good at what he did. He was a beast his voice was so amazing. I wonder if he ever knew how good he really was 😂😂. Knowone did it better than Jimi Jamison knowone. 2021 A Ledgen.
Jimi's vocals are out of this world here. God his voice can move you and take you away. Not too mention the stunning visual that he is. Just beautiful. Am I biased? Of course...there will NEVER be another Jimi Jamison ever...He was too SPECIAL. I still miss him every single day💔💔💔💔💔
i am 51 so yeah i loved him too. i have found another amazing man and that voice that moves you...his musical talents are unsearchable and definitely not hard on the eyes. you remember Billy Joel? ..he picked this guy out himself ... his name is michael cavanaugh... he is doing another LIVE show tonight on Facebook at 7:30 easten 4:30 pacific I would not exaggerate or play with emotions.. check him out...he really is good
Rest In Peace Jimi Jamison...the voice of AOR music...the man who took just an average song and turned it into a masterpiece....what a loss...he was the BEST....
An average song???....seriously. You have listened to the lyrics, yeh.
Inspirational words.
It's a brilliant song!
I SHARE YOUR FEELING ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL MAN THAT WAS THIS INCREIBLE MAN

after all these years, I still keep coming back to the music of the Survivor and the great voice of Jimi Jamison. They are truly timeless.
Me also.
Together with steve P.
Jimi jamison I will never forget you bro your voice was of an angel
So are so right my friend. Great music regardless of the genre will always stand the test of time. After all these years I still find myself listening to this song almost daily, and always will!

Jimi sings with such passion. He really makes you feel the music and believe the words. A one of a kind musician.
Only two words are needed to describe Jimi. Bloody awesome
I’m going to leave this comment so when someone like this I will be reminded to watch this again.
Your time my friend!🤗enjoy!
Wake up and enjoy !
Great song
Que dá hora , se tivesse legendas então, não conheço mts músicas do survivor , vou acompanhar mais esta grande banda
Do it!😊
One of the most beautiful songs ever. They dont make music like this no more.
They dont music anymore full stop.
Certainly not rock stuff like Survivor or Bon Jovi but there are still some great artists in country music
Wow! Jimi's voice is so incredible. So much passion and feeling. He could sing soft or belt out the rockers he was truly in a class by himself. Few rock singers could ever compare.
Im totally agree! I Will miss him ever😢
Jimi had a special voice 🎤🎶🎼💕🎧

Jimis Talent was absolutely incredible. So sad that he is not more here on Earth. But with Songs like this, he is always a part of our Souls.
I really hope that Jimi can look down from Heaven and see these comments and know just how much is he is appreciated and sorely missed.
😔😔 yes!
And see how much we love him!💖💕.
I also want Jimi to read these comments and to tell them every time I write to him that I love him! ❤

An awesome vocalist "Jimi Jamison", and a very talented Jim Peterik. Love the piano playing.👍
For me, this is the BEST Survivor song ever
Ron Nevison the producer of the album said it was one of his favorites too which says something considering everything he has produced
Top 10 for sure.
That voice shaped a generation, my generation! So sad to hear this! His voice will live forever!
In this song (man against the world) jimi shines like a diamond in the sky. Perfect song for him. Congrats bro.

Jimi did this in one take, what a legend. One of a kind voice.
One take??
Miss Jimi so much.
how do you know? any source?
Of course, it has something to do with his zodiac sign, Virgo. Virgos are known to be modest perfectionist.
Jim Peterik said it in an interview. He said the take was supposed to be only a demo but it was so perfect they just kept it.

The most beautiful voice 😍.
How could I be 42 and have never really realized how GOOD this song is????
As a ,46 year old Brit, until about a fortnight ago I hadn't even heard it. Jimi ha quickly become my favourite lead singer, male or female

There's something seductively charming about the sound of 80s and Jimmy is pretty much the quintessential epitome of that.

jimin's voice is addictive it makes you want to listen to him again and again! and his beautiful face 😍 makes we want to see him again and again!💜💗💞
@@user-ps4go7qf8f totally agree with you.
Wish I could find such a singer today..you rock 80s
I love this song, Jimi Jamison of Survivor and Steve Perry of Journey and Lou Gramm of Foreigner were the best vocals of the 80's hands down!
Rest in Peace Jimi
Absolutely agree with you. They have the best vocals in A Rock Music even until today.
Agree. Male vocal powerhouses. I would keep Perry at the top of that list though as I think that is the best male rock voice - EVER. Jamison was very good. Doesn't quite have Perry's power and falsetto, but he's serviceable!! Lou was a beast!! :)
The three of them just like three musketeers.
And Joel Lynn Turner!
knightmidnight Freddie Mercury too. R.I.P Jimi & Freddie.
Such a beautiful song and voice! Never knew that he has passed away years ago. RIP Jimi
0:49 - 0:52. The tone!!!! Jimi's voice is a bless to the world.
One of the most underrated singers, not to mention, bands.
Starting at 1:40, one of the best bridges to a song.
Perry is rated as one of greatest singer's of rock, yet Jamison's talent is equally impressive, on all counts.
Tone, emotion, range, song writing ability, frontman, and on another note, blessed with that angelic, beautiful face.
Jimi you left us way too soon, you are missed.
Porcelain1 You’ve written so beautifully about my Jimi here💔♥️💔Thank you...
Yea, I was just thinking of the same thing ... the beautiful vocal talents of yester-years ... how come we don't have these anymore!?!!!
And, indeed, Jimi Jamison did have a beautiful face!
@@ExtraordinaryLiving LOL bruno mars better
And Dave Bickler is still alive
Perry is great. But this guy (whoever he is) sings more effortlessly even in the highs. Dynamics are great. Though perry's vocals are more distinct. This guy probably is better and his vocals aren't tested yet in this song. Would be nice to see him sing Nessun Dorma hehehe
Great song and a great band. Very underrated. Such a powerful voice. Was very sad to hear he passed away a while back. Will miss any new music they would've put out but will always listen to all the great songs they gave us.
can't help not to cry while listening to this song..
Jimi Jamison, una de las voces mas espectaculares que he escuchado en mi vida. QEPD
If my prayer can bring you to life,then let it be...
Beautiful voice that never change over time.Thanks for the company attract all your music and feeling it. RIP Jimi Jamison
Jimi your amazing voice soars to the heavens. When you sing this song. They don't write songs or sing songs like this anymore. I give you a Man Against The World the great Jimi Jamison. This will for me be your song eturnaly. Your voice soars to the heavens when you sing this song. So beautifully sung it still gives me chills even in 2022. I wish that you were still here 💔💔😭😭😭🕊️🕊️❤️🔥❤️🔥🎤🎤🎶🎼✨✨
Beautiful is one hell of an understatement. I literally cried when I first heard this song. You sure are missed, Jimi.
A great loss to the world. Jimi Jamison had a FANASTIC voice! RIP.
I never knew he passed away until 3 weeks ago. Jimi had an amazing voice. Man against the world should have been a top 5 in my book. lot better than the crap that is out there now
Man Against the World is a powerhouse of a song Jimi's delivery is soul moving
I just found out....
@@genabourassa1715 you said that beautifully 😂😂 2021.
If i was given a chance to go back in time.. I will definitely choose the timeline where Jimi Jamison was still alive.. way back then were the music are very soulful unlike today
Me too
82 - 89 the best memories for me...the life the songs the musics
Jimmy Jamison ( rip ) the greatest vocals of all time ... he had it all a powerful vocals ...good looks ... great songs .... but unfortunately gone too soon ..... A legend
One of the great song of all times .I love this band
Absolutely beautiful
Rob Levinson "Ever Since the World Began"
Did you ever get to hear him sing this live? I think I would have been in tears.

Thank you 😊 💓☺
I’m getting chills right now.
I love the backdrop of history in this video. The song and history really complement each other.
80's....... best era ever
It touches deep inside my heart... Really beautiful song! Jimi, a great and unbelievable singer. Thank you Survivor.
tears in my eyes for his loss....a smile he is singing to the angels.....
RIP Jimi...never got to see you in concert. My loss. X
I feel the same way. I could KICK myself, especially now that Jimi is gone.
@@kevinlipford4448😢me too!
I never get tired of watching this vid/listening to this song. Jimi was one of the greatest
Great Voice,Great Sounds the best american rock of 80'....the soundtrack of many unforgettable moments. Thank you Jimi, goes with the light. Rest in peace
The song is beautifully crafted. Love the lyrics especially "a brand new day will shine through the avalanche of time." So much struggle, hope and strength of human spirit in one song. Epic!
alone, i take my stand..... what a lyrics. very inspiring. for those who fall, listen to this song.
Merci Jimi JAMISON de nous avoir laissé vos chansons qui sont de véritables pépites d'or ! 💯💞👏 Paix à votre âme ! 🙏❤️
One of the most underrated bands, song and singer ever !!
These guys take the 1980s Arena Rock to its highest level. It's sad that this truly inspirational band has been somewhat forgotten. Their songs are timeless, and badly needed in a world and a land that seems to have lost the overcoming spirit that is desperately needed now, as it always was.
The grand piano mixed with jimmi’s lyrics it’s just magical.
This song shows how magnificent Jimi's voice truly was!!!! Miss him so much!!!!
Wow Jimi. Your beautiful and powerful voice makes magic. God bless you. May you rest in peace.
great voice. great music. unforgettable.
We miss you Jimi !!
Absolutely beautiful score and vocals. Why the hell isn't this song being played on the radios?
the most beautiful is that you will always be rembered from your beauty of your voice.....!!!
Love Eye of the Tiger, but this is my favorite Survivor song. So underrated.
Underrated and So Beautiful!!.....
Criminally underrated!
Just a reminder, Jimi Jamision did not sing “Eye of the tiger”. The eye of the tiger was sung by the original lead singer, “Dave Bickler”. Watch this at /watch?v=q8g-WgGX5L8
@@TheOuttabody Yeah, but there is another version of Eye of the Tiger sung by Jimi. I prefer Jimi's version to original.
@@konuralpyldzkan1495 me too👍
Esta cancion en particular, siempre que la escucho, me hace llorar, y yo se porque, porque llega a lo mas profundo de mi corazon y del alma. Tambien por la voz angelical de Jimmi. Algo que no puede lograr la musica de ahora. Que privilegio el de haber tenido artistas como los de los 80s y sus canciones, en particular Survivor, Journey, etc
Yo tambien carino
Amiga, no eres la única que se emociona con esta canción, Jimi Jamison, Q.E.P.D,tenia una voz maravillosa, un encanto para interpretar, sin dudas, un verdadero artista, que nunca será olvidado por nosotros sus fans, que pena tan grande que se fuera tan joven, el mundo de la música, debería homenajearlo por su legado y por dejar tan hermosas melodias, tuve la suerte de verlo de cerca en el aeropuerto de Santiago de Chile, un tipo muy simpático y humilde, siempre se te extrañará jimi.
El gran Jimi con su personalidad humilde y carismática reflejó en su voz sublime lo que era. Gracias Jimi por tus interpretaciones en Cobra, Survivor y como solista. Tu legado seguirá intacto por siempre.
Les recomiendo la balada "lost" y el álbum "empires", gran álbum donde transversaliza el rock el hardrock y la balada rock, tremendo disco.
Por último, algo que se me olvidó, si es que no conocen la canción de survivor "ever since the world began" cuando el vocalista era Dave Bickler, escuchen la versión de Jimi... La interpretó magistralmente para la película condena brutal de Stallone, en ese momento me di cuenta que Bickler era cantante "solo" para el "ojo del tigre".
Who's Still Listening 2024❤ Now The Roads Grown Long But The Spirits 💪,And The 🔥 Within Still Burns Alone I Take My Stand I Give You A Man Against The 🌎
A cool note from the liner notes of one of the greatest hits compilations - They had Jimi lay down the vocals first, expecting to do multiple takes - as is normal. However, after the 1st take, Peterik said "we're not getting a better vocal than that" so they went and put instruments around the vocals and that's a wrap!
Wow Jimi was so good at what he did. He was a beast his voice was so amazing. I wonder if he ever knew how good he really was 😂😂. Knowone did it better than Jimi Jamison knowone. 2021 A Ledgen.
Wow! Interesting piece of information! Amazing!
Jim Peterick was the genius behind Survivor
Jimi's vocals are out of this world here. God his voice can move you and take you away. Not too mention the stunning visual that he is. Just beautiful. Am I biased? Of course...there will NEVER be another Jimi Jamison ever...He was too SPECIAL. I still miss him every single day💔💔💔💔💔
Very true! I will always miss and love the great and incomparable Jimi Jameson!! ❤❤😢😢
PERFECTLY SAID !!!!
cilla stricklnd He was simply AMAZING ♥️✨♥️A most BEAUTIFUL and KIND SOUL✨✨✨
