The lead singer is Jimi Jamison. He sadly passed away in 2014 at the age of 63. RIP. Other Survivor songs I suggest you react to are "The Search Is Over", "High On You", "Caught In The Game", and "Is This Love".
And "I see you in everyone"
@@warfare73 And all those Bud Light commercials.
The riff in Caught In The Game, is one of the best riffs of the 80s. Great song.
I didn't know he had passed. I met him once in Memphis. Super-friendly cat. R.I.P., Jimi.
I love Jimi Jamison ,saw them at "Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 87 awesome concert
The Search Is Over is such a beautiful song by Survivor. This song is great too. Bringing back memories of being a teenager in the 80's.
Yesss I love this song!!! 👍🏿 ❤
Great suggestion 🥰
Yes, The Search is Over is a great song, and a huge hit for them. You need to review that one for sure!
"Caught in the game" is my favorite song ot theirs. Also "Jackie dont go" SUCH A COOL SOUND!
My favorite!
Jay & Amber, you’ll love their "High on You" and "The Search Is Over"!! Jimi Jameson sang lead on todays song and the 2 I mentioned and "Burning Heart" which you've done. Dave Bickler sang lead on "Eye Of The Tiger".
They've already done Burning Heart - great reaction :)
Didn’t the Rob Squad recently review Jimi’s performance of the Baywatch theme? Good stuff. He was talented.
Dave Bickler is famous outside of Survivor. He is featured in the Real Men of Genius ad campaign from Anheuser Busch back in the day.
@@robertstephens4037 Thank you for this. I totally missed it - and just watched. It was a great reaction.
@@jeannieschmidt2217 you’re welcome. Every now and then I’ll go through the timeline and catch a video or two that I didn’t see when it first aired. I’m glad you got the chance to enjoy.
The whole '84 album Vital Signs was great. Jimi's voice was as good as any better than most.
One of my all time favorite albums. Not a bad song on it. My favorites' are "High On You", "I See You In Everyone", "It's The Singer, Not The Song" and "First Night".
You could do any song from Vital Signs, there isn’t a bad song on it.
Agreed!!!!
Agreed! I cannot emphasize that enough.
Yes Vital Signs is a masterpiece.
Jimi Jamison such a great vocalist RIP
The Keyboardist for Survivor, wrote songs for REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, The Beach Boys, and a bunch of hits for the band 38 Special…such as..”Hold on Loosely “, “Rockin Into the Night “, “Caught up in You “…just to name a few, he also wrote the song “Heavy Metal” for Sammy Hagar.
Jim Peterik was the keyboardist. He was also lead for Ides of March and wrote their hit Vehicle
There's the truth of it. Great voice, superior songwriting.
I just heard this couple of nights ago, that he wrote hold on loosely, what's his name ? sounds like he's a great song writer !
@@kevindohn6776 Jim Peterik is his name. One of the nicest guys in the music buisiness.
Jimi also does a lot of backup vocals for a lot of songs.
Jimi Jamison also sing the intro song to the Baywatch Series, he is one of those Lengendary voices. RIP Jimi Jamison!
He also sang the theme song from the movie Karate Kid!
Love Jimi's voice. I always put him up there with Steve Perry as a great frontman.
Jimi Jamison and Brad Delp are two of the most underrated voices of rock.
Jimi is the replacement lead singer. There was a different lead singer for Eye Of The Tiger.
Brad Delp (RIP) wasn't underrated. He got his props as the frontman for one of the biggest bands of their time.
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawnDave Bickler was the original singer, Jimi has a similar voice, but they both had their own style.
Brad Delp has NEVER been underrated
Brad Delp and underrated should never be in the same sentence.
Jimi one of the best rock vocalists, gone way too soon. R.I.P. Jimi. Also - Oceans is another great (and underrated) song, his vocals on that just brilliant.
Oceans also has one of my favorite Frankie Sullivan guitar solos!
Survivor and Asia are two of those bands with a lead singer just like Steve Perry. Awesome voices. Great for love songs or lost love-songs
Have they reacted to Asia? I don't know. If not, c'mon guys! Asia is a must do
i listened to all this right through high school. i’ll still mix up survivor, reo speedwagon, journey,foreigner and some times 38 special. all awesome stuff
@@billmittenzwey3021 Let's face it...we all confuse these bands with each other. With so much music greatness, it's inevitable. What an amazing life we had back then!
@@davidcall5430 Yes, they have reacted to two Asia's songs "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell"
High on You, Is this Love, the Search is Over are great Survivor tunes you need to react to soon. Yes, they sing Eye of the Tiger but it was a different lead singer.
Survivor has so many great songs. Definitely get into more of this band they're more than just the Rocky theme.
Survivor has so many great songs… lol
My favorite AOR band of all time.
Jimi Jamison was my favorite lead singer in Survivor. Jimi Jamison Amber I think both you and Jay will enjoy The Search Is Over. One of favorite songs with Jimi on vocals. Dave Bickler was the lead singer on Eye of the Tiger.
🙂 Jimi is and will remain my favorite forever!😍😍
I always loved Survivor! They definitely have Journey vibes, but stood out on their own with some amazing singers!
I heard that Stallone had actually approached Journey to contribute a song to Rocky III, and they declined. So the production team sought out a "Journey-like" band and came across Survivor. It certainly worked out well for everyone!
I could'nt said it better myself
@alfavan31 A Survivor fan that looks like that? 😍
Survivor actually had a lead singer change in 1983, the one who sang the infamous Eye of the Tiger was Dave Bickler, and that song from him was a one hit song wonder, all of the other hits like: I Can’t Hold Back, Burning Heart, Moment of Truth, Didn’t Know It Was Live, Is This Love, Man Against the World, The Search Is Over, High On You, I See You In Everyone, In Good Faith, Rebel Son, How Much Love, Desperate Dreams, & Tell Me I’m the One are all big hits from Jimi Jamison’s time as lead singer of survivor, so if u wanna go down that road with him and see I’m telling u, u think he had a Steve Perry vibe with this song, he’s the one who changed the entire band from a hard rock and roll type to more of a classic poppy rock and roll, like the soft Melonies while also singing with that tough rock and roll mentality, he also had a very extensive solo career that was very famous too, I recommend checking out some of his solo work, and if u need some solo song requests pls ask!!! Cause there’s a lotta good ones u definitely should check out!!! He’s got songs from before he joined survivor in 1979 as a solo artist, and multiple solo albums after he left survivor and even came back and did a album with survivor again in 2006 that’s hard to find on UA-cam, so pls ask me any songs u wanna know to react too cause u will fall in love with Jimi once u hear more of him! He’s truly a legend of rock and roll and arguably i say him and Steve Perry are two of the bests to ever do it!!!
Unfortunately I couldn't live through the 80s, I would have liked to have been a teenager at that time, I was 4 years old when the album Vital Signs came out with Jimi as the lead vocalist of Survivor, but in the 90s I really liked the TV series Baywatch and I wondered who sang that song with that voice, and years later when I had access to the internet I looked for the song and then I started watching videos of survivor with Jimi, and ufff I fell totally in love with his voice and his beauty, so quickly Jimi He became my favorite artist forever! I love Jimi Jamison ❤
Holy crap does this song (and Survivor in general) take me back to my teen years.
The summer's off with the music we had on the radio just screamed good times and party. Junior High thru HS 1979-1985.
Absolutely. 1984 baby!
Jimi Jamison was pretty much same age as Steve Perry so they were just peers. Jimi was a phenomenal voice on his own. Miss him to this day. Love "In the Burning Heart" from Rocky III. Also, The Search is Over among so many others.
Jimi Jamison is an awesome vocalist! The next Survivor song you must check out is "High On You".
RIP Jimi
A lot of people automatically think of the Rocky movies when Survivor is mentioned because Eye of The Tiger was the opening song in Rocky III and Burning Heart was in Rocky IV. Survivor was a great rock band that had that great 80's rock sound and they had other hits that went high on the top 40 music charts.
Other hits by Survivor were:
1. The Search Is Over
2. Is This Love
3. High On You
Thanks for reacting to this band and keeping their music alive and well into the future. 😊
Yes agree and Survivor had the best vocalist a band could ask for! Jimi jamison my Favorite forever!❤
The lead singer is Jimi Jamison. One of my favorite bands ever... High On You, Search is Over, Burning Heart, Is This Love, Man Against the World...
And my sleeper hit is First Night...
First Night is a great song. Agree with Man Against The World, and I would also throw in Ever Since The World Began for the ballads.
"Eye of the Tiger" is a Survivor song but with a different lead singer, Dave Pickler. This lead singer is Jami Jamison and yes he does a great, Steve Perry-like voice. The girl in the video is one Lee Ann Marie, who appeared some other music videos around the same time as this 1984 smash. I somehow never noticed her resemblance to ONJ until you pointed it out.
Some other great songs by them are "High on You," "Is this Love," "Desperate Dreams," "Caught in the Game," "Broken Promises" and "When Seconds Count." I've just never understood why they weren't a massive success.
“Eye of the Tiger”. “Search is Over”, High on You” are some other Survivor hits.
I saw Survivor when their only hit was "Eye of the Tiger." As a songwriter, this is my favorite song by them!
SURVIVOR does sing "Eye of the Tiger" but it was with the 1st singer .So glad Jamie took over the job- great vocals. RIP, JAMIE 💔😔
First of all his name is Jimi, not Jamie. And both Jimi and Dave Bickler, the original lead singer are 2 of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.
Yes, they sing "Eye of the Tiger" featured in Rocky 3, and "Burning Heart" featured in Rocky 4, "The Search Is Over", "High On You", "Is This Love", and "The Moment of Truth!"
Jimi Jamison was an absolutely incredible talent. His story was one among many where a singer replaces another great talent in an established band and either does just as well or elevates the band even higher. As iconic as "Eye of the Tiger" was, I think "Burning Heart" was even better.
Burning heart is one of my favorites from survivor!❤
My favorite Survivor song, back when I was a kid, I had no money to buy albums or cassettes. I had to wait for this song to come on the radio,when that acoustic guitar intro hit, I would go crazy. For me, favorite songs were even more special because I couldn't hear them over and over again at the touch of a button. If I was a kid now and had so many ways to hear what I want when I want, songs would be just songs. Things are more appreciated when they come so rarely.
I lived that too😅 wait a long time on the radio 📻 for hear your favorite song.
Vital Signs is one of the 80s' greatest albums. Pick any song and react to it. You'll enjoy it.
I love that album!
A true AOR Classic. One of the best ever. Along with the Fortune album from 85
I had the cassette and wore it out, I played it so much!
Jimi Jamison took over as lead singer of Survivor in 1984. Prior to Survivor, Jimi sang lead vocals with the bands Cobra and Target during the 1970's and early 1980's.
So many GREAT Survivor songs!!!
Survivor were killing it in the mid 80's! Jimi Jamison replaced original "Eye of the Tiger" singer and the hits kept comin'. "The Search is Over" was the big power balled. "Is This Love" and "High on You" were awesome rockers like this one.
High on You is the next one to listen to. Saw them in concert and they put on such a high energy show!
I've always loved this song. "Your voice explodes inside my head!" That's my favorite line.
I always though that was pretty special myself. Unconventional and cool as heck.
I love that part of this beautiful song too, I dedicate it to Jimi Jamison,😊❤
Had the pleasure to see Survivor open for Boston... Jimi Jamison and Brad Delp on the same night and stage was one of my favorite concert nights for sure...
Holy crap! It's on. Jimmy J is da bomb. Vital Signs I've never stopped listening to. High On You is next. 🤙❤️❤️ Woohoo!
Survivor is best known for (as you mentioned) the Rocky movies songs "Eye of the Tiger" and "Burning Heart" but they also had some tremendous power ballads "The Search is Over" , "Is This Love", and "High on You." Jimi sang primarily these songs while the previous lead singer Jim Peterik was the lead for most of the Rocky movie songs. Jim also had success as the lead singer of the group "Ideas of March" with their most prominent single "Vehicle" which you've reacted to.
Interestingly, Jim Peterik had a lot of success doing a series of hilarous Bud Light Radio commercials (Called "Real Men of Genious").
How Much Love by Survivor! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Survivor is an underrated band. Brings me back to the 1980s.
RIP Jimi. Survivor came on the scene with "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky III soundtrack and it was massive and put them on the map. Jimi took over as lead singer after that song and made some killer music, a lot of power ballads. This is a great one, along with " The Search is Over" & "High on You". This band produced some amazing music in the 80's and like many couldn't sustain it into the 90's. But their songs will always be classics.
Absolutely Right J! Journey Vibes. This song is Complex & Really Soars! It's Fantastic! This song would be in my Top 50 of All Time! Great Memories, Thx You Guys! :)
So true. I mean ... it actually has two choruses!
This song was co-written by Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik who was the lead singer in The Ides of March. You did their song Vehicle.
Love Survivor
Dave Bickler was original singer, band first hit, Poor Man's Son was on FM radio my friends and I heard and liked. All got the album, months later in spring we drove to Pasadena, not for the parade or football bowl there, but a Saturday night concert of Survivor. Few of us brought our girls to it, all first concert except me, I saw Cheap Trick in 8th grade!
Couple years later, after Rocky II, Stallone called piano writer in band saying he loved Poor Man's Son and wanted a song for Rocky 3 movie. Didn't want to, but gave the script to them, so the song was about Rocky, after he won, and not as hungry as the younger boxer. Words in song about the movie. 3rd Bickler album, Caught in the Game, I liked very much, but didn't sell very much like before. Bickler sang so hard and high, he had throat surgery and had to stop singing. Jimi came along, another great singer, this song was first hit, the next two bigger and videos too. High on You and The Search is Over. Whole album is good, several others on FM too. 3rd Jimi and final album didn't sell good, but few good songs, my favorite Jimi one, Across the Miles, a ballad, with great guitar and 3 singing great! Check the original video of it, black and white , good play list song!
“High On You”, “Burning Heart” and “The Search Is Over” are awesome Survivor songs.
Dave Buckled sang lead on Eye of the Tiger, but if I remember right, he had problems with nodules on his vocal chords and had to have surgery right when the group was gaining momentum, so they had to find a different lead singer and hired Jimi Jameson.
*Dave Bickler. One of the greatest rock singers of all time. Besides Survivor, he was the vocalist from all the Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials, one of the most successful ad campaigns of all time.
Forget the video. Listen to the song. It's simply magic. It makes you feel like love is tangible...
...and it is. Keep living, learning, and loving.
Hey Rob Squad! One aspect that truly stands out in this track is the incredible sound of their lead singer. His dynamic range and captivating delivery make the song an absolute auditory delight. But here's a little known fact: Did you know that Survivor's lead singer on 'I Can't Hold Back' wasn't their usual frontman? It was actually Jimi Jamison who took the reins for this particular hit. His powerful vocals injected a fresh energy into the song, adding a unique flavor to Survivor's already impressive repertoire. What sets 'I Can't Hold Back' apart is the seamless blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, creating an instant earworm that's hard to resist. The band's ability to craft such a compelling tune, combined with the exceptional vocal talent of Jimi Jamison, is a testament to their musical prowess. So, if you're a fan of powerful vocals and memorable hooks, give 'I Can't Hold Back' by Survivor a spin. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the remarkable sound and the hidden gem that lies within their discography. Stay tuned for more fascinating musical discoveries, and keep rocking, Rob Squad!
One survivor song that was not a big radio hit but was a fan favorite live n concert was "I See You in Everyone." This is an incredible song and there are several great live performances on UA-cam. A few other suggestions are "Everlasting", "Is This Love", and "Broken Promises."
That whole Vital Signs album was fire from beginning to end. I played the hell out of that cassette when I was a kid. Always wondered why "I See You in Everyone" was never released as a single. Great song.
@@snuggy18 Yeah, "Vital Signs" was one of the best albums to come out of the 80's. It had so many good songs that weren't released as singles ("Broken Promises", "Everlasting", and more). I have actually bought this album multiple times in different formats (LP, CD, etc.). It still sounds great to me.
The lead singer is Jimi Jamison who sings the Baywatch theme song "I'm Always Here" that you recently reacted to!!! He is the second singer for Survivor, he did not sing Eye of the Tiger, but it was the group Survivor :)
I haven't heard this in forever, and can still sing every word....thanks for reminding me of its greatness
Besides Jimi's out of this world voice, he was a pitch perfect singer. I love the clarity of his voice. From what I have read, he was also a really nice guy. Almost all of the songs he sang, not only the hits, are special. Loving Jimi Jamison!
SURVIVOR - High On You / from 1980s Is Another Super Hit song with Amazing Vocals the same Lead singer from I can't Hold Back . High On You is a very Rockin and Romantic song with Keyboard sounds that draw you in right from the start you'll definitely love this song too it's super awesome.
This IS the group that sings "Eye of the Tiger"! After that massive hit, you might think they'd be a 1 hit wonder, but they had a few big records! This is a pure 80's love song!
Survivor was a great band. When I was a kid in the 80s I remember them being pretty big here in Illinois. They are from Chicago. Look up the song Poor Man's Son! Another great tune!
Premonition is one of my favorite early 80s AOR records. Great album. Not a weak song.
@@ssRocker-nn3tp Yes; the whole album. Really the first 3-4 albums are great. But Premonition is something special. Take You On A Saturday is fun to play on guitar!
@@motrock2 Caught In The Game has one of the Greatest 80s riffs. Santa Ana Winds is one of the best Survivoir songs ever. Their debut is also pretty good. Very similar to Foreigner. After this album, they developed their own style. Premonition and Caught In The Game are my favorites with Dave Bickler. But i prefer Premonition. Very consistent and all the songs are Great.
@@ssRocker-nn3tp Yes; Caught In the Game is a great riff. I have played that one on guitar also. Frankie Sullivan is very much underrated as a guitar player. However; the one who brought the song writing together the most I think was Jim Peterik. Without him; they never could write that kind of great stuff again. Jim's Pride Of Lions sounds like Survivor 2.0!
@@motrock2 Yes Jim Peterik is a genius. Franke Sullivan is one helluva guitar player. His solos are always tasteful. The riffs are what makes the Survivor sound Great and recognizable. Are you familiar with the band Mariah? The guitar player is none other than Franke Sullivan. Check this album out. It,s on UA-cam. From 76.
This is Jimi Jamison singing, you just did one of his solo songs recently. Yes Survivor did "Eye of the Tiger" but it was with their original lead singer Dave Bickler, Jimi joined the band in 84 after Dave Bickler had vocal issues and had surgery on the vocal cords.
"Across the Miles". " Is this love?" & last but Not least, " Didn't know it was love"
Jimi Jamison is singer. One of my favorites of all time! This was first album played. Many great survivor songs!
Survivor is one of THE greatest bands of ALL TIME. The vocalist is Jimi Jamison, who incredibly sadly, died in 2014. I saw him and Survivor live just days before he passed. You actually reacted to him just a month before you reacted to this. Jimi is the one who sang and wrote "I'm Always Here" (The theme to Baywatch). Yes, Survivor sang "Eye of The Tiger" But that was before Jimi joined the band. The lead singer on Eye of the Tiger is Survivor's original lead singer, Dave Bickler. Survivor has had two of the greatest lead singers in rock history, it's amazing really. And Survivor always got compared to Journey and they should have been just as successful cause they're certainly just as talented if not more so. But their management never properly marketed them and their record label collapsed during their peak. Also, Frankie Sullivan, the guitarist and co-songwriter, leads the band and can't get along with anyone, he has kicked everyone out of the band, so it's now basically just him and some no-bodies and they only released one album since the 80s because of him.
another favorite. it’s romantic, the feel, his soaring voice, the melody, the music … his voice is in my top 4
The album this is on is amazing! It's true 80's rock. I can't tell you home many times I had this blasting on my stereo at home. In the car going up home to Sauble Beach. I've been told his voice is one of the hardest to follow. Not many people can sing his songs. I can sing them great. My voice would probably peel paint. Too bad it won;t kill weeds. But I sing along anyway. My grand mother use to take me to church on Sundays. I always figured it was because of her voice. Pretty sure that's where I get my. She told me that she sung like a banshee. But it was joyful noise, so your going to hear it anyways. Miss her lots.
Dave Bickler was their previous lead singer who sang Eye of the Tiger. I'll reiterate that "the search is over" is a must listen, also "Across the miles".
Jim Peterik, the keyboard player for Survivor, has the midas touch. He has written / co-written so many hits starting with Vehicle by the Ides of March (you reacted to them 7 months ago) where he was guitarist and lead singer, all the big hits for Survivor, hits for 38 Special, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Hagar, Cheep Trick, the Beach Boys, Dennis DeYoung (Styx) and so many others. If you see one of the writers is Jim Peterik-it is a great song. I know people who know Jim and he is one of the nicest people in the music industry.
Jimi is my favorite singer. Such an amazing voice.
He is my favorite too and amazing voice 😊❤.
My favorite forever too!❤
Rip jimi
Jimi Jamison had an incredible singing voice. I always wondered why he never spoke when they interviewed Survivor back in the 80s. Watch an interview with Jimi Jamison he has the strongest Southern draw I ever heard and I live in the South.
Some other noted Survivor songs to check out: American Heartbeat, I’m not that man anymore, Caught in the Game, Jackie Don’t Go, Broken Promises, Moment Of Truth, Is This Love, Oceans (between Us), Rebel Son, Desperate Dreams, Didn’t Know It Was Love. American Heart i believe was the B side to Eye Of The Tiger and it does have very similar feel.
This song (along with all of theirs) is SO well crafted. Every element is used for maximum impact. Keyboards rarely sound this good in rock music (my opinion), the guitar (Frankie Sullivan) is up front in key moments but is almost like a backup singer for Jimi at other parts. Tempo, instruments dropping out and coming back in at the right times to add drama, the unconventional arrangements. Oh yeah, and EXCELLENT lyrics. I just love it. These guys were PROS. and LIVE, holy crap, sounds pretty much as good as the darn studio recording. Lots of "romance" in Survivor's songs. If you like that vibe ... enjoy the trip. No mention of the RISKY BUSINESS vibe in the video? Didn't you just watch that movie 😉
Franke Sullivan is a great Guitar Player. His solos and riffs were always very tasty. The riff in Caught In The Game, is one of the best 80s riffs.
@@ssRocker-nn3tp I hear that brother. And a GREAT songwriter!
Exactly! My thoughts are spot on with yours. Production values are excellent in this majestic piece! Not one instrument overrides the other and the mixing in the production is almost perfect. The guitars in the opening of the song predicts the entire piece and you can continue hearing them throughout the song. Drums, keyboard, and bass guitar, keep the song moving along and it has a great tempo, so I agree with what you have said.
That voice...as everyone else has said, I miss Jimi every single day
😢😢
Survivor have a lot of great songs.
Another one of my favorite bands!❤ Sooo many good songs!!!
My all time favorite singer! I’m so sad that I never got to see survivor before he passed away. As people are saying The search is over is a great rest reaction song. You can’t go wrong with any of their songs.
This band is the most underrated of all time.......countless number of great songs......along with KiSS and Def Leppard my all time favourite.
Should do Survivors "Can't let You Go"..................a really rockin' song.
Jimi Jamison who was the 2nd lead vocalist for Survivor has an amazing voice. I knew about David Bickler all along but never really looked into who took over for him as lead singer. Jimi has just as good of a voice to me as Steve Perry. I already like 13 Survivor songs and Jimi's voice made me like another 16 songs
This is the group that sings "Eye Of The Tiger," BUT......... Surprisingly, they had a different lead singer for this song. You need two different names. The old singer lost his voice & didn't recover fast enough from vocal chord surgery, so they found someone to replace him that sounded similar.
I love the voice of this singer. And they had quite a few bangers. The videos were cute and silly & feel good... Ahhh, the 80's.
The lead singer, was the guy who sang one of the themes from Baywatch....remember that reaction video....That's him. Jimi Jamison!
LOVE HIS VOICE!
Jimi Jamison r.i.p..... "Is it love".... "So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough"...Now that's the good stuff 😎🥃
PLEASE do a react on their song, "EVERLASTING!" It is one of their best, imo! Incredible vocal range and strength from Jimi Jameson! Everlasting has so much texture and is one of those extremely powerful ballads you just talked about in this song.
Side note: Right before Jimi Jameson passed away in 2014, Survivor did a concert in Elk Grove, and they sang "High On You". His voice was every bit as powerful and smooth as when he sang almost 40 years ago. He had not lost even an ounce of his range or the ability to hit those high notes 😊😊for long periods! That is something rare! The older bands I hear today, many times, sing in a lower range as years of singing can change, but that was not the case with Jimi Jameson. He was one of a kind❤
Most underrated band ever. Jimi Jamison was like Steve Perry in live shows. He sounded just like the studio singing live. Really a good guy also. He helped many people and other upcoming bands. Humble and so gifted. RIP Jimi we miss you brother.
Asia is another group from this era with a similar "feel" as Journey & Survivor ... I suggest starting with "Only Time will Tell" or "Heat of the Moment"
I'm Not That that Man Anymore is another great Survivor song
You guys HAVE to hear Is This Love by Survivor. It was released in 1987 and was there last hit they ever accomplished. It’s so powerful and you can dance to it to
One of the most beautiful songs - full passionate love.
I saw these guys at six flags n Atlanta n the 80's.They were great n concert!!Good times!!
A trip down memory lane.its amazing what music can do!!❤
I was hooked on survivor the first time i heard eye of the tiger and they got better with every song.
So many great songs. I love “man against the world” and “rebel son” from the album “When seconds count” are awesome.
Love man against the world!
Their song "Burning Heart" is pure 🔥. It's from the soundtrack of "Rocky IV".
One of the most underrated bands and lead singers of the 80s…LOVE Survivor.
I got to see them live back in 1984. Great night,Zebra opened the start of the night hell of a band very triumph with rush vibes.Then came Survivor and they were such an under rated band,but they had a great singer and a great band all around, a hit maker. REO Speedwagon had a great night they went back and crank up the sound and let it rip.Gary Richrath is so incredibly when he gets to solo the man can play.
As others have mentioned, "Eye of the Tiger" was done by Survivor but with a different lead singer. Survivor was a mostly unknown band, but Sylvester Stallone had heard a song of theirs and asked them to come up with a theme for Rocky III. His original plan was to use "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen as the theme song, but Queen wouldn't let him. So Stallone approached Survivor and asked for them to come up with a song of that type. They agreed and ended up winning both Grammy and People's Choice Awards for it. The lead singer ended up having to have surgery on his vocal cords that required a long healing time. The rest of the band wasn't willing to wait that long, so they went and got a new lead singer. And it turned out to be a great move as the second singer was much more talented than the first.
Jimi was amazing
I think this is their best song.
"Vital Signs" is one of the greatest radio rock albums of all time...every song is a classic.
"Eye of the Tiger" was indeed this band, but an earlier version with a different singer.
Great song! Brings back lots of memories. I love watching both of u loving and reacting to the music I grew up on. RSR is the best reaction channel on UA-cam! ✌&❤
Ditto all of the above, especially that RSR is the best reaction channel. No others compare.
💯% 🥰❤️
Not even gonna request next song from Survivor, can't go wrong with them. Howewer i'm gonna request.....Firehouse :) It's been over a year guys and you loved it. Amber talked about them some videos ago so you havent totally forgot them ;) "When i look into your eyes" is almost as good as "love of a lifetime".
And for some rockin’ tunes from Firehouse, my favorites are “All She Wrote” and “Reach for the Sky.”
They have so many amazing songs appart from Eye Of The Tiger and Burning Heart. American Heartbeat, Broken Promises, Jackie Don't Go, Burning Bridges , Backstreet Love Affair to name a few.
Saw Survivor in concert and knew every song. LOVE them!!!
High on You is another good one from Survivor 💖
When this song came out (1984) many of us thought it was another single from the Steve Perry solo album. We were unaware that Survivor had changed singers from Dave Bickler...then we saw this video and knew there was a new Survivor singer.
Besides "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky 3, Survivor also had a hit on the Rocky 4 soundtrack "Burning Heart."
