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
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😞
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.
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
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..
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!
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.
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.
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....
Jam and Lewis said Jesse and Prince had freestyle duels at rehearsals with slight edge to Jesse but Prince is the best rhythm guitarist around bar none. Props to both guitar Gods
Now that is stankay!! Jessie's very underrated... More folks need recognize.
how he sings and plays that guitar at the same time is amazing
Jesse! Good God !!
Jessie playin' that guitar! Ugh! Good gawd!

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

Michael Prescott, Jr. show you right ,mike that was smooth. usually I don't like overdubbed music,but for that setting excellent.

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!
With just a clean Strat & Wah-Wah pedal, Jesse makes RAW FUNK !!
