I remember when I was 15 taking the bus to & fro to school listening to these cuts from Jessie on my walkman tape player. Those were the days. Nowadays we're so spoiled, long past are the days of going to the rekasto and actually buying vinyl or tape ... now we're just lazy asses and just download it. Some leach and steal music and others yes .. do pay. But what a different place we were in back in the 80's. Truly a gifted musician. Thanks for the post.
prince became very truthful when he got in his early 40s....he would tell ppl that jesse Johnson was a man that could compete with him competition wise....matter of fact?... he would tell ppl THE TIME was the only band that scared him....what a helluva compliment😇....i miss him and all of the great performers who have passed on dearly....especially JAMES BROWN...THE GODFATHER OF SOUL😞
Damn the time literally flew, seems like yesterday that I was rocking this jam in my car I swear no one could have prepared me for how fast life goes, Jesse's voice and playing is still in tact
You look at Jesse perform and one thing you see is that he's just so laid back and relaxed in the groove. It's like he gets in the pocket with the greatest of ease
Listen to Merciful on Jesse's Verbal Penetration CD. I've been a Jesse Johnson fan since the 80's..A true Writer,Composer,Arranger,Producer as well as a guitarist..
This is definitely my favorite version! Damn, I am really feeling this, like get up and get a beer feeling this. Jesse Johnson is one bad ass man, he just slays the guitar. He is also still Sexy.
Jesse took it home! The person that dislikes this needs to go back to listen to those singing-off-a-cd-auto-tune artists. This is grown folk music! Ow-Owww!
Fuck yeah!! One of the funkiest badass muthafackas I've ever listen to!! This man is the pure reincarnation of James Brown and Sly together!! Listen to him in the new D'Angelo CD....
Well, Prince did changed over the years, he always evolve, at the beginning wasn't that much Wah Wah pedal, but hey, he became a supertsar; I wonder if Jesse would have stayed as "street" if has the same succes as Prince.
Now that is stankay!! Jessie's very underrated... More folks need recognize.
Yup! Southside Chicago all day! My hood!

He told no lies. They got kicked off the tour they were so good.
Prince made me pick up the guitar. But Jesse made me want to practice! Facts

His guitar playing is beyond cool..its 55 below zero incredible!
Jesse does sound like Prince. He's got the same funky flavor, but of course he's his own man. I'm diggin' this. Always have.
owlbeyou Jesse is more street with his playing Prince style was more planned less Wah Wah pedal more sound effect
Well, Prince did changed over the years, he always evolve, at the beginning wasn't that much Wah Wah pedal, but hey, he became a supertsar; I wonder if Jesse would have stayed as "street" if has the same succes as Prince.
There's some Prince similarities but there IS a difference between him and Jesse!
AWESOME !
So good it hurts me.
Hey Dood, that was real FUNKAY!! Jesse bad!
Goddamn!!! 2 funky. Love jesse

Jesse!
I would have been his background dancer for the day. I couldn't sit down listening to him playing.
He killed this!!!! Put a mature swing on it!!!
Now that old school music.
Where can I learn to play Jesse's stuff? Tons of Prince tabs and tutorials, nothing on this guy's genius licks.
Great Performance
Jesse is Da Man.... FUnky as hell...much respect.
Come on Jesse!!!!!!!!! OWW!

"SOUTHSIDE!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S CHICAGO!!!!! SCREAM! :0
+Debra King Jesse's from Minneapolis-so, why wouldn't "Southside" refer to South Minneapolis?
+Kent Manthie Jesse's actually from Illinois.
THEBLACKBELT OH...ok, didn't know that.
@@MrKmanthie Make sure that you get your facts straight ok. I know you feel so stupid your best friend is Google did you forget? 😂😂😂😂
That is too funky, open the window!
🔥💯
Jesse is one of the baddest guitar players ever.
He still sounds young, almost like a 20 year old.
He even looks young here like mid 20s
Uh! Good gawd! A classic 80s jam!
Cold ass hat!!!!
