Another 80's music legend has fallen...

Jimi Jamison, who was the lead singer for the bands Cobra and Survivor, passed away Sunday night. He was 63.

Jamison's booking agent, Sally Irwin, tells TMZ that Jamison died of a heart attack. He had just performed with the band Saturday night in Northern California.

Jamison joined Survivor in 1984 (after their smash hit "Eye of the Tiger") but was the lead singer on other classic songs like, "The Moment of Truth" (from "The Karate Kid"), "The Search Is Over," and "Is This Love."

That's so sad. I love his voice. I thought Survivor was a much better band after Jimi Jamison joined them.

I saw Survivor with him in concert years ago, and he picked a girl from the audience and pulled her up on stage to dance with him. He seemed like such a nice guy.

RIP
