Continuously acclaimed as one of the Top Ten Male
Vocalists in the World by the Kasey Kasem Countdown, Jimi Jamison delivers
a strong and powerful performance regardless of the venue. His recently
released song, “I’m
Always Here,” which he wrote and performed for the #1 syndicated
TV show Baywatch, is certain to solidify his standing as one of the premier
performers in the music industry today.
From
humble beginnings in rural Mississippi to established superstar residing
in Memphis, Tennessee, his achievements call to mind the other Memphis
Rock and Roll Legend, whom Jimi met as a young boy while Elvis was on
of his famous shopping sprees. Like Elvis, Jimi has never
forgotten from whence he came and continues to be dedicated to benefits
assisting St. Judes 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 Survivor as the group was to go on to enjoy five singles
in the Top 10, four gold, platinum and double platinum albums and multiple
movie soundtracks. His renditions of “Eye of the Tiger” from
Rocky and “Burning Heart” from Rocky IV thrill concert audiences
to this day. Other fan favorites include “High On You”, “The
Search Is Over” and “I Cant Hold Back”, 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, Krokus, Jeff Healy
Band, and numerous other recording artists. Jimi has co-written
songs with musicians such as Joe Walsh. Billy Gibbons refers to
Jimi as the fourth member of ZZ Top. He has been recognized by
the Governors of Tennessee, Ohio and Arkansas for his work on and off
the stage and he commands a loyal and dedicated following appearing at
each of his concerts.
