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.

R.I.P. Jimi hands down one of the greatest voices in rock history.

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 !!!!

a full Orchestra makes a song go into the stratosphere!

Simply one of the best singers to come out of the 1980s, R.I.P Jimi Jamison 🙏❤...

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.

Jimi never lost his bravado, one of the few that got better with age.

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.

In my opinion..... THE GREATEST LOVE SONG OF ALL TIME. NUF SAID.

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 still love the way he sings this song , even when he is older. his voice is still fantastic.

When other singers gather, and Jimi's name is mentioned, a reverent hush comes over them.

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.

Jimi Jamison is one the best singers of our time.

A legend gone but can never be replaced. RIP JIMI. Your music will live on for generations to come.. 💜

Jimi Jamison is one of the top rock singers ever. What a voice. What a performance. He is simply fabulous.❤

Jimi and Survivor should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Still can't believe he's gone. This sounds amazing with the orchestra. RIP

Can never get enough of that beautiful voice. Not too many singers and people like him. He is truly missed! RIP Jimi💖

Jimis voice flies over the band snd orchestra. Only special voices can do this! RIP Jimi...

What a beautiful performance by the great Jimi Jamison. He was without doubt, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time.

Probably one of the greatest and most controlled voices of all time. And also clearly a lovely fella.

THE BEST OF THE BEST! HE NEVER LOST HIS VOICE. HIS RANGE IS INCREDIBLE AND JUST BEAUTIFUL EVERY TIME! LOVE HIM!

The search is over...jimi you were and still are the best..

I could just cry watching this. 💔

Two of the most amazing singers Elvis Presley and Jimi Jamison .Both in the heavenly choir ❤

I'm crying!! Oh my God I miss jimi so gosh dang much!!! Geeeeeez. Come back ...come back!!!

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.

This song is very meaning for my life , the search is over is happened to my life

jimi always inspired me with his singing went to a lot of survivior concerts and i miss my favorite singer RIP Jimi

You left your mark on the world Jimi, we miss you!♥️

That golden voice and beautiful face. Forever missed. 😢😢😢💔💔💔

I love how this sounds with him a touch older and live. It really is fantastic with him backed by this amazing orchestra

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 😂😂😂😂.

Wow! His voice is soaring! What a vocal beast Jimi was!

His voice is still fantastic in live concert..RIP Mr Jimi. Your legacy lives on...

Rip jimmi true legend ❤

RIP Jimi Jamison one of the greatest rock vocals of all time God bless your beautiful soul!

To say Jimi was a phenomenal singer is an understatement RIP

To me this is the most beautiful performance of this song!

🕊 Jimi Jamison, 8/23/51-9/1/14, was the real deal vocally. Rest in Musical Paradise to him. 💐🎤🎼

Thank you for the memories Jimi.......you touched many souls

Beautiful song sung by a beautiful man.

All musical artists who rely more on hype and have no longevity take note,Jimi Jamieson IS the ultimate example of musical talent.

LOVE 💘YOU FOREVER ♥JIMI JAMISON....REST IN PEACE MY DEAREST IDOL.

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!

One of rocks most underrated singers. Seriously good.

Perfect voice for this Survivor “Anthem”. It truly expresses love at its finest stage!

RIP Jimi Jamison one of the greatest vocals

Hard to believe he was around 61,62 here still had that voice RIP Jimi

That voice, that range..it's still there after so many years! Amazing! Very few can sing this song live!

Wow! It’s hard to believe this was just seven years ago. Sure do miss Jimi.

Such a wonderful song

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.

This man and Survivor and his music brings back so many memories...

The best rock ballad of all time

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.

Jimi. J. Great singer. Rip

Absolutely beautiful and timeless

The best vocals of any older singer. Others try and sound nothing like they used to. This was GREAT!

BEAUTIFUL!!! RIP JIMI JAMISON 🥺😭

80's was the best part of my life. I got to hear this song in almost every Jukebox. I got to meet someone and became my husband.

RIP Jimi. Really the best performance ever of this wonderful song

Wow, you could hear his nerves at the beginning of the song. Tough song to sing for most, but Jimi, another day on stage.

Always and forever listening to this live version of classic "The Search is Over".... RIP my idol

We lost a Legend in him for sure

MISTER JIMI JAMISON . THANK YOU VERY MUCH . FOR YOUR GREAT VOICE . AND SONGS . R.I.P.

I still get Chills every time I hear this song sung by Jimi.

In 1985 SURVIOR did a show in Hannibal Missouri at the RIVERFRONT AMPHITHEATER. I was there as teen. Jimi was awesome.

I am so thankful I had the pleasure to see hear and meet this extraordinary man and singer

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 one is done in lower key. Needless to say it sound more awsome this way. It really brings out the Baritone masculinity in his voice.

Jimi Rest In Peace. God bless you

Thnk u for the music mr. Jamison...u will be missed forever.RIP my idol

Beautiful!!! This brought tears to my eyes.  Jimi Jamison - "The Search is Over"

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

His voice still sounds as beautiful from back in the 80 s oh my gosh rip Jimi beautiful 🤩 amazing I think I just peed my pants

His voice was still strong as it was 30 years ago....but his soul was gone faster...

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.

Some how I never crushed on Jimi back in the 8o's.....I was really into current music , knew the words, saw the vids but he just escaped my notice, huh? Fast forward to the present....... Not a week after I was reminiscing for a few hours one afternoon.....just looking at old 80's stuff on KZfaq ....enjoying memories......I was 'discovering' Jimi (again) really digging him, his voice, the whole package.......planning to definitely see him in AC soon as I could......BAMM! He was gone! Hello? What the..........? No Way! But it was true he was gone. This past year I'VE scoured the internet getting to know Jimi posthumously. Not accepting my tardiness in discovering this Talent. His beautiful presence and from all indications a real great human. I will kick myself forever for not ever seeing and hearing him live. He was missed as soon as he was found by this girl. RIP.

One of the great singer, a great voice, sadly gone to soon. You will be truly missed!

Such a sad thing he's not with us anymore. Thank you for the music Jimi. RIP

Rest in paradise Jimi. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Love this song! Beautiful! Jimi was so humble. 💘

I love his voice. I always did. I always will. 4 Ever ! R.I.P. .

Nobody does it better, beautiful. The best slipped away

Wow chills as if it were 1985. Amazing R.I.P. Jim

A beautiful voice silenced and we are less for it. Rest in God's grace Jimi, thank for the memories.

Amazing, wonderful, beauti, forever! Please, do not ler these music die. J.J. R.I.P.

Very beautiful love ballad. This singer has an excellent voice.

Most underrated voice of the 80s and perhaps beyond.

Too young to lose, so many awesome songs. Some day, see you in heaven Jimi...

R.I.P Jimi..this is amazing

Jimmy you will be forever in our hearts....your voice...your emotion keep on living...

How i spew i never knew this legend til after he passed! BUT his spirit will be with me forever! RIP JJ .

beautiful,jimi jamison is legend

R.I.P. Jimi - one great voice left.

One seriously great vocalist. Once gave me vocal tips to cover this tune.

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.

Not much more to say, is there,except BEAUTIFUL, and Tears are welling.
