Survivor was an American rock band formed in Chicago in 1978 by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan. The band achieved commercial success in the 1980s with five top-ten singles in the United States. They are best known for their 1982 hit "Eye of the Tiger", the theme song for the film Rocky III, which spent six weeks at number one in the US. Dave Bickler was the band's vocalist from 1978 to 1983 and appeared on the band's first four albums. He left after a vocal injury, and Jimi Jamison replaced him in 1984. With Jamison, the band had several hits including "High on You", "The Search Is Over", "Burning Heart" and "Is This Love" before going on hiatus in 1988. The band returned in 1993 with Bickler, but Jamison replaced him again in 2000. Their final album Reach (2006) was their first in 18 years. After the album, Jamison left the band, and Robin McAuley became the singer. In 2011, Jamison returned for his third stint as vocalist. The band then toured with both Bickler and Jamison on vocals in 2013, which lasted until Jamison died in 2014.
