JIMI JAMISON
Continuously acclaimed as one of the "Top Ten Male Vocalists", Jimi Jamison delivers a strong and powerful performance. "I'M ALWAYS HERE", which he wrote and performed for the world wide "Number 1 TV Show" (BAYWATCH) is certain to solidify his standing as one of the premier performers in the music industry today. (BAYWATCH) according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is the most watched TV show in the world of all time, with over 1.1 Billion viewers.
From humble beginnings in rural Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee to established superstar worldwide, his achievements call to mind another Memphis Rock and Roll Legend (Elvis) who Jimi met as a young boy while Elvis was on one of his famous shopping sprees. Like Elvis, Jimi has never forgotten from whence he came, and continues to be dedicated to benefits assisting St. Jude Children's Hospital, The Special Olympics and the ARF Foundation, with Tony LaRussa of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Beginning with the nationally acclaimed band Target in the 1970's, Jimi continued his rise to stardom with COBRA through the early 1980's.
In 1983, he joined the group SURVIVOR. The band's first album with Jimi, "VITAL SIGNS" was another huge success for the band. The record made Jimi an instant favorite, peaking at 16 on Billboard's "Top 200" Albums" charts thanks to the hits: "I CAN'T HOLD BACK" (which hit 13 on Billboard's "Hot 100 Singles" chart), "HIGH ON YOU" (8) and "THE SEARCH IS OVER" (4). The group went on to enjoy five singles in the Top Ten, Four Gold Albums, Double Platinum Albums, and Mulitple Movie Soundtracks.
His renditions of "EYE OF THE TIGER" from ROCKY III and "BURNING HEART" from ROCKY IV thrill audiences to this day. Other fan favorites Include "HIGH ON YOU", "THE SEARCH IS OVER", "I CAN"T HOLD BACK", "IS THIS LOVE", all delivered with crisp, clean live band backup for the strong voiced Jamison. The explosive "ROCK HARD" from Jimi's 1991 solo album, "WHEN LOVE COMES DOWN", also features the unmistakable power of Jamison's voice.
In addition to his career as a lead vocalist, he has also made six music videos and has made multiple television appearances. He has served on the Grammy Awards Committee and is a member of AFTRA, SAG, and NARAS. He has performed back up vocals for recordings by ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Jeff Healy Band, and numerous other recording artists. Jimi has co-written songs with icons such as Joe Walsh, Jim Peterik, Steve Cropper and Survivor. Billy Gibbons refers to Jimi as the forth member of ZZ Top!
