Jimi Jamison, lead singer of the band Survivor, died at his home in Memphis, TN on August 31st. He was 63. According to a statement issued by Jamison’s booking agent, Jimi died as a result of a heart attack.

Jamison was currently performing as a solo act but achieved fame during his time with the 80s rock band Survivor. He was also affiliated with the groups Cobra and Target.

Continuously acclaimed as one of the Top Ten Male Vocalists in the World, Jimi Jamison delivers a strong and powerful performance. “I`m Always Here”, which he wrote and performed for the number 1 TV show worldwide, “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 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 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.
