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.
Beginning with the nationally acclaimed band Target in the 1970's, Jimi continued his rise to stardom with Cobra through the early 1980`s.

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 Jimis 1991 solo album, "When Love Comes Down", also features the unmistakable power of Jamison`s voice.
