Jimi was my dear friend,who was a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He loved his children fiercely and unconditionally. Family was very important to jimi. I said goodbye to him for the last time at the grave sight where generations of his ancestors and his beloved mother waited for him. It was a quiet place resting under ancient trees and green farmland. There was such a feeling of peace. It was a place of grace. It was where jimi belonged, with his family. gift. I every day of my life.
Looking threw your eyes of Jimi s final resting place. Really makes me feel like I was there in the end. Even thou I was not. It sounds so peaceful in the end. I pray that he is at peace. Even if us fan love him. And still miss so much. Thank you for in lighting those of us . That could not be there. I am truly grateful .❤️❤️
Jimi was an idol to me as a teen. Got to see Survivor perform at my little river town of Hannibal Mo in 1985 at the Amphitheater there. Awesome concert.
Thank you for sharing that. I was fortunate enough to meet him and get some great pics! He was such a sweet man and his voice is like no other. He is missed. RIP Jimi
There will never be a voice this powerful. He sang with so much passion, soul, and heart. Forever remembered but never gone lives in his music. Still touching hearts ❤️ till the end of time.
I am a Rock Singer since 1984 and everytiime I try to sing this one I realize what an outstanding voice this man had. Keep on Rockin' Jimi, wherever you are now !!!!
I am not a singer but, I have realized that many of the songs that Jimi sang were not that easy to sing, but he had that unique voice! adorable, he is my favorite, I listen to all the albums he recorded with survivor and the ones he recorded alone, I have them all on my playlist! ❤️
According to Jim Peterik this performance was replayed at his memorial service and there was not a clear eye in the place.This was Jimi.s signature song and no one can sing it like him.
Oh my god, it makes me cry too. Love this extraordinary man! What a beautiful song! I'll miss you forever Jimi! Thanks for everything you gave us with your outstanding voice! ❤❤😢😢
I see how it would tear you up. I could fall to pieces just knowing they played that song at the memorial service. Everytime l watch Jimi jamison in interviews or his concerts my heart 💔 break's for him. I don't think I will ever stop loving him or stop missing him. The only thing is his music 🎶🎶 will live on forever. I wish that he was still here with life you just have precious and few . We never know our time line. It's always much to short and never long enough. I truly adore you 💞😍❤️ Jimi jamison. I believe in the after life 😂😭😂.2020
For me there's 3 singers on the industry that have a distinct voice....Jimi ,,Peter Cetera,,and Steve Perry and Jimi was on top of the 3.....You will be missed Jimi..
He was so amazing. I could watch and listen to Jimi all day! Wish I could have seen him with Survivor back in the early 80's. Nothing today sounds like them. SO glad I grew up listening to their music!!! Teenagers today have no idea what brilliant and classic rock sounds like.
I think that the music of now, leaves a lot to debate, it's incredible to have grown up in the 80s, I didn't have that opportunity but I love the music of that time, I have a lot of Jimi's music in my playlist, I start, with his beginnings in survivor, and he finished with all his solo albums, and that's how I spend the day listening to him🎧🎶
He lost a little of the dimension his voice had in his youth, but absolutely none of the talent or charm. As the years have gone by, the world has lost iconic artists well before their time. But I honestly can say I have never felt a deep, aching loss for ANY of them before. To be so talented and to have such an incredible, truly musical voice (they are definitely NOT the same thing!), he was still so absolutely beautiful, inside and out. His genuine humility, love for the music, and honest kindness can really be felt. The world not only lost a voice that has yet to be matched, but a celebrity that didn't act like one. Jimi, you were truly one of a kind.
I love him!! I saw him with Survivor here in MA. We didn't know if we were getting the original singer or Jimi..but whenever he went on stage... wow!! Such a treat.
@@saga2964 l couldn't agree with you more 💞💞. Jimi Jamison was indeed a very special man. I never met him before or knew him personally. But I feel like I lost a close friend when he left us 😂😂. It's 2021 and I still feel his lost and l miss him. I cannot explain this.😭😭😭😭. Losing Jimi Jamison l feel like I have lost a family member.
They do not make singers like this anymore. The emotion and love of music he had just emits from him. He had an amazing voice and was very passionate W/ each song, performance. Also seemed to be a VERY nice man, regular "Joe". He was taken too soon. R.I.P. Jimi, hope to meet you on the other side 1 day to thank you for the outstanding, emotionally deep music. No matter the situation in life, his voice always has a way of making me smile. Kind of like a warm hug (I know that sounds strange). You were and still are awesome :>) !!
I couldn't agree more!!! I'm really getting nostalgic, was a big survivor fan back in the 80s, good old teenager memories :) So sad, way too early taken from us, may he rest in peace! Thanks for everything Jimi!
If l had the power to go back to 2014. On the day that Jimi passed. I would erase whatever happen. To Jimi on that fateful day. And he would still be here with us. If l could turn back time 🥰🥰😢😢😢😭😭.
Anybody that would give Jimi a thumbs down on this concert has got to be nuts and dealf at that same time. Jimi sang the search is over so beautiful 😍😍❤️. He sung his heart out. I heard that this was his signature song. Jimi you still had a wonderful voice all the way till the end. If l could bring you back l would. I'm still listening and missing you. I will always love you forever ❤️❤️❤️ 2021. God always take good ones first 😂😂😂😂.
Yes friend you are right God always takes the good guys first, and I don't think anyone dares to give a thumbs down to this beauty, may God always bless our Jimi no matter where he is! ❤
i went to a lot of survivor concerts Jimi was such an awesome singer very sad that he passed on but i feel like myself listening to him sing such a wonderful talented person he is. Listening to this song the search is over brings tears to my eyes. But he is in good peace now.
Not even the orchestra could overpower Jimi's voice. When you talk to other singers about the greatest voices in rock, his is one of the first mentioned.
Although I prefer his older versions of this song, I’ll say Jimi’s voice is simply magical. I’ve listened to so many male singers over the years and his is one if not the best I’ve ever heard. Not his range but his own uniqueness and flavor, it’s simply beautiful
This is a true story. I had a difficult time in the mid 80's. I had an abusive mother and I was generally a very sad kid and when this song came out I was about 12. This song and other Survivor songs really caught my attention but I had no idea the real reason why yet. Coincidentally around this same time I had access to a basic synthesizer. The kind you get from a department store. Survivor's sound... lots of keys, distorted guitars and Jimi's voice... wow. I was just starting to learn to become a musician and they inspired me so much. The music was so lush and emotional and helped me to escape my sadness for brief moments, and now I was learning to do it too. When I finished high school I was aimless. I threw caution to the wind and moved to NYC and began to pursue music. That was in 1997. Fast forward 23 years, a lot of hard work and passion... Now here in 2020 I am the proud recipient of 19 Gold albums, 11 Platinum, 4 Multi-Platinum and one Diamond award... along with 9 Grammys. This music came into my life and changed it forever. If it weren't for that, I have no idea where I'd be. It helped me create a life and legacy as a record producer that I am proud of. I am eternally grateful. This video brought me back to that small town in 1984.
@@rpwbass no, actually everyone has a story to tell about adversity in their lives. To me ,it sounded like your bragging by all the awards you won. All great things start FROM your imagination! now don't be show butt sore, it was just an opinion
I absolutely adore this song and this man's voice. Whenever you hear it it's one of those songs that immediately brings you back to your high school days.
I never get tires of seeing it and for me without a doubt the best. Divine the Voice of that angel. Jimi I love you with all my heart. RIP my angel. 🇨🇴🙏🙏❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😘😘😘😘😘
How many times I have to say that this song is my instant favorite the first time I heard it in '84, I was in 2nd year high school that time. What a voice Jimi has!
Try a minor 3rd down (3 half steps)... Nothing at all wrong with that. Sounds better in this key for his voice anyway. Probably should have done in this key on the origional...
Well done jimi , I haven't heard this song since the early 80s after recently discovering it again..and now i hear that he has passed on.. Its nice to see though he had massive success..you just don't do concerts with big orchestra's like this unless you got it...and he had it. R.I.P Jimi
What a talent he will be missed My son is a DJ so I know in concert most singers are not as good as they are in a recording studios Jimi Jamison was I doubt he will ever be replaced This group has been my favorite for over 30 years My Betty bought Vital Signs and I was hooked I wish I had the talent to sing I just have to embarrass my talented children dancing to their music They can all sing
Any man who has been in love. Knows why The Search is over is such a great love song. I will dedicate this song to my future wife. Gentlemen, the woman that stands by your side for the rough times, definitely deserves all the best of you. Make sure that you don't forget that.
A true artist with a voice that we will never forget. Thanks you for being a rock hero I will never forget how lifted us up to a icon of music. We miss you jimi
no lowering of keys for this man as he got older..... loved all the Survivor albums..takes me back to a simpler..better time for music and classic AOR..... RIP Jimi....... a truly class act
i´m feel very bad and blue, that god to bless you, and this song it sensitive, i got tears in my eyes, you´re will in our hearts forever and ever jimi my friend and brother too R.I.P.
