I remember seeing the band Survivor in Hannibal back in the 80s, and they rocked! But they did more than that. Jimi Jamison, the lead singer of Survivor, made the ladies scream when he would do a slow tune like "Is This Love."

Jamison also wrote many songs you have heard of like "Burning Heart," and the "Baywatch" theme song. and of course, the bands biggest hit was "Eye Of The Tiger" from the Rocky 3 soundtrack.

Jimi Jamison died over the Labor Day weekend, passing away on August 31. He just performed with the band that night. He was 63 years of age. TMZis reporting that the cause of death was a heart attack.
