You have heard these songs so many times, seen the video so many times, and have these doubts that it is Jim singing? I really do not understand that. I can accept that Rory is not on RnR because I hear no part of him. I can accept that he is a "more than background" vocal on the others in question, but in none of them, and you have had so many opporunities to hear, is he the exclusive vocal, the main vocal. I can put in the time and listen for where one voice ends and another voice begins. I don't mind doing that work.
