Jimi is a long time friend of mine that has finally joined L.L. In case you are one of the few that has never heard of him he is the lead singer of the rock band Survivor.


Further biography
Jamison would later reunite with Survivor for a tour in 2000, and he ended up remaining with the band up through the release of their new album in 2006. He also sang for the bands Target and Cobra and provided background vocals for other bands including ZZ Top. Among his best known performances are "Burning Heart", from the Rocky IV movie with Sylvester Stallone, which hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, "High On You" (#8 US), and "The Search Is Over" (#4 US). Jamison also co-wrote and sang "I'm Always Here," the theme from the hit TV show Baywatch.

In 2005, Jamison was featured in the Emmy-nominated Starbucks commercial which was a parody of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger". Ironically, Jamison was not a member of Survivor when the song was originally released in 1982. Also in 2005, Jamison performed a duet on "It Takes Two" with teen singer Whitney Wolanin.

Jamison is known for his contributions to charity, and has been a participant in the annual Rockin Christmas Fund charity fundraiser event among others.

This is one of my favorite videos of his called ''I can't hold back'' Notice he picks up a book on Elvis:becky:

No that is the orginal singer of Survivor. But the funny thing is they both look alike. Jimi did the Starbucks commerical. Jimi will be in Germany this month playing shows also.:yo:
