A MUST READ!!By RonniemoeThis is a review from Brenda Tuck- Mumford. I sat down and read this book straight through in one evening because I had been waiting for it for a long time. First let me say that Jim Peterik is a class act all the way. This book is a fascinating look into the story of his life- his childhood, his discovery of his love for music, his meeting with his lovely wife Karen, his discovery that he was able to write songs. Not just good songs but GREAT songs. Jim does not just write a song, he crafts it and it becomes a thing of beauty. One of my all time favorite songs is 'Vehicle' and until I became a fan of Survivor I never knew this was Jim's band or Jim singing! I became a fan of Survivor when Jimi Jamison joined as lead singer and upon discovering Jim's wondrous way with words went back and bought all the prior Survivor albums and though the songwriting was just as terrific, it was the combination of the golden voice of Jimi coupled with Jim's songs that really won me over. (The book also clarified alot of issues with the band that I had always known existed). Sadly, we lost that golden voice on 9-1-14 very suddenly and unexpectedly. Jim is involved with all kinds of projects and it is a joy to see him so happy, relaxed and finally at peace. This is a great read in and of itself but an especially important read if you are or ever were a Survivor fan.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Still delievering in full forceBy Christopher S. ChannerJim Peterik is the proof that not every rock star lets success ruin them. If you want to know why Jim is the extra-ordinary exception, read this book.I have seen Jim through more than one lens. When I was in my 20's, I built a large night-club. Jim Peterik (and Bill Chase) played for us along with many young rising rock stars. But the two rockers that impressed me most were Jim Peterik and Tommy Shaw (who was doing his MS Funk thing at the time). Why? Because they were both humble co-operative spirits. They both shunned the cheap thrills in favor of the real thing: great rock performances. And they are both still delivering in full force.I have run into Jim a few times over the last 40 years. Nothing has changed. He is probably the nicest human being in all of rock and roll. He asks for nothing except to play and sing his heart out, and to love his audience "right back". All those years, dodging every kind of ego-maniac imaginable, and Jim Peterik is still a man's man, a musician's musician, and a song writer's song writer. He is simply the best.If you want to know why, read 300+ pages of this character-revealing book. He is the man who just seemed to know that it is not about ego-satisfaction. Rather, it is all about the music. Jim reveals nearly every aspect of his life of music and song-writing. And he reveals all the personal aspects as well, including his love for family and his deep friendships with others. If you love music and want a true insider's life-experiences revealed in detail, read his book... and enjoy! It is truly a breath of fresh air. I bought four and will buy more.Love ya, Jimbo.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Jim Peterik: A Rock Legend!By EcHo10Well, I'm way late to the party, but I just finished reading the book and really enjoyed it! Jim has certainly lived a full life! Duh!!! LOL I've had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times when he would visit a music store I used to work at in Villa Park. I always found him to be a pleasant, happy person and very down-to-earth. And I gotta say, that was refreshing - especially coming from someone who has done so much in life.About the book...Jim has a gift for telling stories and his cheerful infectiousness shines through, but I'll tell ya....he pulls no punches, especially when it comes to Frankie Sullivan and Survivor. If you're a Survivor fan reading this, don't expect a rosy picture all of the time because it contains the harsh truth on the Rock-N-Roll life; warts and all, but that is what makes the book all the more compelling. If I learned one thing in this book, it was that within the complexities of all of the characters lies the lessons and the beauty; the yen and the yang. And believe me, there are lots of them peppered throughout the book. According to an interview I read recently, not all of the stores made the book due to space constraints, along with others that were omitted for legal reasons. Whatever the case, it's a great read and one that I highly recommend!For the musicians...The Survivor years are pretty-well detailed here, and each album gets more than a fair mention; the recording processes that went into them, including personnel, producers, studios, songs written, and the endless band drama/record label politics involved etc. Having said that, don't expect a play-by-play of every nuance per se, but a fair amount of details that went into them, along with the life that got lived while it was happening. I think the book did an excellent job of intertwining the personal and professional simultaneously. I mean, what else can you expect from a musician? A.D.D. is part and parcel to being one no? Oh look!!! A squirrel!!! LOLRockin' book Jim! Well done! “Hey, yo, Jim . This is Sylvester Stallone. Give me a call . .”It was these words that would set Jim Peterik on the road to rock ’n’ roll immortality. After he and his Survivor bandmates recorded “Eye of the Tiger” for the Rocky III soundtrack, the song would go on to earn a Grammy, an Oscar nomination, reach triple platinum status—and become one of the most recognizable tunes in music history.But there’s much more to the story of Survivor and its founding member, Jim Peterik, than meets the eye. As one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation, Peterik has cowritten songs with some of the most famous bands and artists of our time, including 38 Special (“Caught Up in You,” “Hold on Loosely”), Sammy Hagar (“Heavy Metal”), The Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, and many more. Now, for the first time, Peterik is sharing his stories.Filled with tales from Peterik’s life in rock ’n’ roll, Through the Eye of the Tiger documents his early days of success with The Ides of March (“Vehicle”), through the often torturous power struggles within Survivor, and the giddy highs that accompany a trail of worldwide hits. From going to a party in Led Zeppelin’s hotel room (and turning right back out the door) to escorting a disoriented Janis Joplin back to her hotel room after opening her show in Calgary, Peterik’s accounts will surprise and delight.Through the Eye of the Tiger is more than just a memoir of a songwriting legend; it’s a classic rock ’n’ roll story told through the eyes of someone who has lived through it all—and through the Eye of the Tiger. “The song Jim and Frankie wrote, ‘Eye Of The Tiger,’ was so amazing that when I first heard it I had to make sure I was not dreaming—a heart-pounding timeless rock masterpiece! Thank you, you made Rocky even more heroic."—Sylvester Stallone“The first time I met [Jim], we wrote a song together while sharing a spaghetti dinner at my favorite Italian Restaurant. I knew we had a hit..sure enough, that song ‘That’s Why God Make The Radio’ became the title of the Beach Boys’ highest debuting record (#3) in over 40 years.” —Brian Wilson"We come from different worlds, but we speak the international language...M-U-S-I-C. I am honored to share a stage with him and call him friend. He’s my Vehicle.”—Buddy Guy“Jim Peterik is such an extraordinary songwriter, musician and human being. I believe he was put here on this earth to inspire us all with his words and melodies and he’s done just that. Jim, you wrote a great book, great storytelling- such an adventure to read.

Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.

Coslor - agent former lead singer PO BOX 494314 Port Charlotte, FL 33949 of Survivor 941.624.2254 * [email protected] www.Celebritydirect.net JIMI JAMISON BIOGRAPHY Jimi Jamison best known as the lead singer for the band Survivor from 1984-1989 and again from 2000-2006. Born in rural Mississippi, Jamison moved with his mother to Memphis, Tennessee, at a very young age, and he considers himself a Memphis native. In addition to honing his vocal abilities, Jamison dabbled in guitar growing up. By middle school, he was playing in a band. He would later sing for the bands Target and Cobra and provided background vocals for other bands including ZZ Top. After the demise of Cobra in 1983/84, he was invited to audition for Survivor. Although he was initially not adamant about fronting what he considered more of a "pop rock" band, which would contrast signifi- cantly with the heavy metal stylings of Cobra to which he had become accustomed, Jamison ulti- mately got the job and became Survivor's new frontman, and is today the most recognizable and best known of the group.

  • The Ides of March, Featuring Jim Pe
    Bond County Bicentennial Committee Bond County Historical Society PO Box 376 Greenville, IL 62246 The Ides of March Featuring Jim Peterik to Headline Day Two of the Bond County Bicentennial! The Ides of March, featuring Jim Peterik, one of the most successful song writers of the 1980’s, will headline day two of the Bond County Bicentennial Sunday, July 2, 2017 in downtown Greenville, on the Bradford National Bank Main Stage. Bicentennial entertainment chairman Randy Alderman said, “While the names may be foreign to some, the songs certainly are not. Jim Peterik, who formed the Ides of March way back when, took a little break in the 1980’s to form Survivor, co-writing and performing many of their smash hits, including the 1982 Grammy winning Eye of the Tiger , as well as penning many hits for .38 Special and for other bands such as Sammy Hagar and The Beach Boys. The two hour Ides of March set will be familiar music, performed in part by the guy who wrote the songs.” He added, “This band, which features the original four members, and the music they perform, will certainly be a highlight of the year for those attending this free concert.” John Coleman, Bicentennial Chairman, said, “It’s an honor to have this legendary band perform for our Bicentennial celebration. Their high-energy show filled with songs we all know and love will delight and entertain everyone.” This isn’t a sedate “oldies” act-much the opposite actually. In concert, the Ides of March remain a vital, powerhouse rock and roll band whose typical 90-minute concert usually lasts two hours, and the encores are always the strongest songs of the night.

  • Jim Peterik Has Been a Rock Star for Decades, and He’S Not About to Change Now
    Jim Peterik has been a rock star for decades, and he’s not about to change now [30 August 2010] By Christopher Borrelli Chicago Tribune (MCT) CHICAGO — He’s a friendly stranger in a black sedan. Won’t you hop inside his car? He’s got pictures, he’s got candy, he’s a lovable man. He’ll take you to the nearest star. He’s your vehicle, baby. He’ll take you anywhere you want to go. He’s your vehicle, woman. By now I’m sure you know ... who I’m talking about. If you grew up in the late ‘60s to early ‘70s, with a radio pressed to your ear, then certainly you know. That’s when Jim Peterik and the Ides of March, the pride of Berwyn, Ill., roamed the earth. Until they split up in 1973; then most of the band, having socked away some cash, went to college and started families, became upholsterers and property managers. They were in their 20s. But a funny thing happened: Jim Peterik didn’t grow up. He traded in his black sedan for a Lamborghini. And radio ubiquity? For him, it never dried up, and he never went away, or left Chicago. Indeed, if I had a nickel for every time I heard him recently sing “Vehicle,” the Ides’ biggest hit, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top 40 charts, and was impossible to avoid in the summer of 1970 and now sounds like the marching band anthem it is — if I had a nickel for every time I heard him simply reference those lyrics (“Well, I’m a friendly stranger/In a black sedan/Oh, won’t you hop inside my car?”) — I would be wealthy.
