  • 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!
    Also be sure to check out their song "The Search Is Over" here:

    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.

      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.

  • @daveycmusic5150

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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 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.

  • @Tbug666

    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.

    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!

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.

    That's the one thing I love about the 80's rock scene. You had a ton of great voices on the landscape at that point in time. Like Jamison and the also mentioned Steve Perry. You also had Kevin Cronin(REO Speedwagon) , Dennis DeYoung(Styx), Jon Waite( The Baby's, Bad English) the list goes on and on. That's why I would go back to that time only if I didn't have to go through high school again, of course.
