Jimi Jamison's vocals make this easily one of THE all-time greatest songs that most people have never even heard. What he does with his voice on this song is absolutely ridiculous!

Jimi Jamieson. What a great rock voice. Gone far to early....R.i.P.

Jan.2023, This morning I was rocking this song in the car and singing to it with my 12yo daughter. Life is great :-)

Jimi Jamison is a music icon 🎶 🎵 👌 🙌 😌

Jimi's pipes were a miracle from God. No other explanation.

Such an underrated vocalist. ..never got the recognition he deserved.

Agree.... but, the city of Memphis, where Jimi was from, has honored him in several ways recently --- a few years ago, they named a street after him, then in 2022 , the Hard Rock Cafe dedicated a bust (statue of head & shoulders) to him in a permanent display, as well as one of the jackets he wore, & then just this year in October, he was posthumously inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. So Memphis definitely loves Jimi, & hasn't forgotten him. Jim Peterik, the co-founder & writer of most of Survivor's songs, as well as quite a few for other bands, has been inducted into the Illinois Rock Hall of Fame. But I agree, I think the band as a whole should be in the main Rock & Roll HOF.

​​@@litlredhenI feel so sad, because I was born in 1980, so when Jimi joined survivor I was 4 or 5 years old, i couldn't enjoy his music in the 80s, but not in the 90s either, when I discovered if I had heard the song eye of the tiger, but I was never interested in finding out who sang it or anything, until one day I saw the video of burning heart, and when I saw Jimi sing, I swear it was as if he had enchanted me, I started looking for all his songs video, and it was very sad to find out that he had passed away, and I felt super bad to have discovered it after he died, I am happy that Memphis honored him the way they have done, , and believe me, there are many people in the world who love Jimi eternally, I am from the Caribbean, and I have never visited the USA. For me it is a pleasure to see and hear him sing, he will be forever in my heart 💜 .

I recommend the First Target Album. Jimi was great years before Survivor. I am from Memphis and saw Target 3 times. Another good band he was in was called Cobra. He is a Memphis Legend. I miss those days Memphis had so many great local bands. Southern Greed is one of them.

Cant believe this gorgeous man is dead. RIP JJ.

The quality of this recording, is amazing for 38 year old footage! I like to imagine Jimi went and made himself a cup of tea during the guitar solo 😁 Survivor have to be one of the most criminally underrated bands of the 80's in all it's incarnations in the decade.

"Every night, a fleeting glimpse of candlelight Chases 'cross the atmosphere, but you're not here And I see the shape of moonlight on the cityscape But now the skyline wears a shroud ...

Jimi was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame just last year (2023), Memphis has named a street after him, & the Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis has (finally) made a permanent display honoring him -- several of his friends & family had apparently advocated for that last one for years. I was at 2 of those events, not the street naming, but at least his home town is recognizing him. There's yet another event for Jimi coming up on March 24, 2024. Hoping to be able to attend that also. Jim Peterik, co-founder of Survivor, (as well as Ides of March & a couple other bands) & co-writer of most of their songs, was inducted into the Illinois Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago. But, I completely agree, Survivor as a whole, & all its members, should definitely be in the main Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
