It's a great song and I enjoyed now as much as I did at the time. However, please don't bellyache about how the DJs aren't playing the music you like. DJ's haven't decided what gets played on the air in decades. You have program directors and music directors who decide the direction of the station. In this day and age, the station is likely owned by a large company. The decision on what gets added is often made at the regional level.
mellomoodz370......dog, YOU don't even believe what u just commented on...i mean, jesse johnson is OK....but PLEASE....man, u better never in your right mind compare these two again...now, go take your medication...jesse johnson vs prince...HA.HA.HA. you DEFINITLY smokin' your own shit...
@str8outtatexas1 Yes Sirrr! This takes me back also...I can actually remember being in love and listening to jams such as these. Jesse breaks it down in this song...That's deep...Jesse wants his girl back and I want my 80's back!!!! Love it!!!!
@uhuhbabyuhuh Join the club! The 80's were great! There was just an electric vibe back then!!!! The music had Life,Love,Heart and Soul ! I would listen to great music like this, check out Miami Vice on tv and go hang out with friends! Great times!
wow didnt think id ever see this vid again i think early 1987 right?.... miss them days thats when music was damn good cant say the last time i evne purchased music since maybe early 90's,, aint nothing worth out there buying, thanks for psoting this!
@smush48 Prince wannabe...? PRINCE WANNABE JESSE!!! Prince is totally overrated as a musician and songwriter. He's way beyond his glory days. Jesse Johnson is still funking it up . Check out his most recent release Verbal Penetration . It may not have gotten much publicity as it should have as well as all his other albums,but bitchassness runs rampant in the music industry now and then. Just because Prince was in the spotlight doesn't mean he didn't steal some swag from JESSE JOHNSON!!!!
@mellomoodz70 He does look an awful lot like Prince... I wouldn't say Prince is overrated at all. I do however think his capabilities are far greater than he pushes them. and If you think he's overrated then look at "artists" (if you can even call them that) nowadays. How many of them write their own songs, play multiple instruments, spend hours slaving away in a recording studio recording every instrument themselves? and actually sound good live! Not many I'm afraid.
@mellomoodz70 Yeah !!!! lol Thank you , I agree with you .The only reason Jesse's album didnt get much publicity is because he is with an independant record label . Wich means not much overhead . I hear he sold more than a thousand albums and most of that cash comes to him . He is still doing greatw !!!!
@ayabtiyah2004 Hey that'z good 2 know. I think it'z so much betta 2 B independent anyway tha major labelz hav been raping artist financially 4 yearz it'z time 4 a nu age revolution. Time 4 artist 2 stop lettin untalented record execz sign them 2 thoze foolish 360 contractz and claim whatz rightfully theirz. Musicianz gotta unite and fight 4 whatz right day N night alright !!!.... Shalom =)
i want back kimberly,hannah,wendy,tracey,gwen,akiyla,stephanie,micia,yasmine,sariyda,gwen,lisa,belinda,nichita,even lorraine and the ones i didnt get pregnant
This was at the period were Morris Day and The Time, Prince and them Minneapolis cats were hot. He took their dress, style and swag and ran with it. I felt i wasn't cool enough to run with this cat. He was very dark and not all that good looking. But, he was so cool, you justed loved to hang with him. Till this day, I never met a cat so confidant, cool, mad swag and authentic as him. When i was learning to stop being shy and holla at the Ladies, he taught me how. Rip T. Jones.
Went to high school with this cat name Fabian ( black dude). He couldn't get no chicks. Shit, he got a perm in his hair like Jesse's. Got a suit from the thrift store like Morris day and The Time. Got a pair of Stacy Adams shoes from his brother and became the flyest motherfucker ever seen!The ladies lost there mind for him. Keep in mind this was in 1982. He had chicks our age, older chicks, black, white , shit he had them. Later when i came back for the Army, he had a Aurism and Died. Rip Bro!
@LuvzHugz omg you are not lying ! we use to jam him in Africa back in 1985 ...I knew he was fine then and still fine now ! Have you heard his new album " Verbal Penetration" ? it was released Oct 27 of last year. The man is a master guitarist. He improved his vocal skills and out did himself on this album !
those minneapolis muthaphuckas could jam some fast shit but they could also slow it down like this one,time's gigalo get lonely,o'neal's if u were hear 2nite.dem boys made great music back in da day
GET A HAIRCUT HIPPIE!! OMG! HIS HAIR IS LONGER THAN HERS!!! Seriously...I like the jam...I was there...back in the day. Long live the Purple Summer and may you live to see The Dawn....MM
This was just a well shot video. It was a cool cut and still a jam. To bad they don't have many good r&b musicians. Stressing musicianship over computers and digital tricks.
Thanks to my younger aunt, I have damn near every R&B song from the 80's. Was listening to one of my many CDs last night and heard this. Don't have the problems that the brother relates to in the song, but this shit is deep. Great song!
This song was the sh*t! I had Jesse's album on cassette and who knows what happened to it. I want back my tape! (not that I have anything to play it on) Good memories, thanks for posting.
man this takes me back to my high school days back in the 80's.people this is whar real R&b is suppose to sound like. i'm so sick of the bullshit they try to shove down our throats today.i don't listen to much of this new garbage at all.i keep my ipod with me 24-7.i hook it up in the ride and it's all 70's 80's early 90's.man these video's and music bring back good memories of how life should be.having fun and dancing your ass off. where did it all go wrong? all thugged out now,just pathetic .
Music has become a trick to brainwash and subdued peoples way of thinking (clever trickin deed) when that happens the music is second place, RnB today usually involves the word b-ch or hoe, slap me up-i think those artists of yesteryear would die of shock if the stars of today hooked up for a duet, the future is gangster criminals singing about crime and about how many times they dodge bullets (OH hang on, were there already) what next, singing about how many times you've killed. OH HANG ON
I couldn't agree more man. This was true R&B. There so much of it back then. I remember Prince, RFTW, SOS Band, Sheila E, The Time, The GAP Band,and the list goes on. It was all about dancing, meeting girls, style, and good times. There is no R&B anymore, it's all pop and garbage.
@str8outtatexas1 Couldn't have said it better myself man. Man, that music back then. I remember The Time, Ready For The World, The S.O.S. Band, and all the other R&B powerhouses that shaped a generation. I bump jams like this all the time.
@str8outtatexas1 I share the same sediment as you about this new sound they try to pass for "music" on the radio today. I dismays me greatly that groups like Jessie Johnson's Review, The Time, Ready For the World, and other R&B and Soul greats from long ago have been all but forgotten by the DJs of today. There was a timelessness about the music from that era that always seems to conjure up very accurate memories of those days whenever one listens to a great song such as this.
@5kylord Well there no longer called "The Time" thanks to that bitch ass prince. He has a copyright on the name and refuses to let them use it. Well the boys are back all 7 of them. There now going by the name "The Original 7ven" There album came out last week and it's nice. The single and video off the new album is called #Trendin. And yeah they still have it 30 years later...
Jesse, any given day...I can listen to this song and LOVE it the same way I did when I first heard it. Awesome song and video!!!!!! I love your music!
I know....I'm a musician, a guitar player, I wanted to put a band together to go into the studio n record some songs i wrote....everyone keeps trying to convince me to go n lay the tracks first using the computer in the studio then get the musicians n teach them to play it.
To me thats putting the cart b4 the ass !
Jesse is the reason I had my daddy teach me to play the guitar back in 1984 lol, he made me want to be a real musician not a computer synthesized one !
Right on bro,.and this coming from a real guitar player to,..custom Yamaha w/Seymor Duncan dual humbuc's,.,nothing like the real thing,....NOTHING, computers are great,..but what if your woman prefered to make love to a robot instead of you,..Hmmm.
@Clarenzr Im a girl ( giggles ) but its cool....I just spent crazy money on a Minarik...Goddess....The Brazi Unicorn Edition......OMG!......cant waite to get back in the studio next week ! Do u play in a band ?
I kinda freelance around town you know how it goes " I plays ,what pays",but I've been mostly doing a lot of Gospel,.hey theres some decent change in the Gospel biz you know,..but I still got my P-Funk roots deep in the ground, and yes I'm still funkin on Baba!,why are you trying to form a retro 80's band or something??,I still remeber those guitar licks from back in the day,..tell me whats your groove....
@Clarenzr As for me and my opinion I would rather take a robot over theese young hip hop dudes any day.....The robots have more originality than they do. They sample the oldskool music, but wont sample the oldskool knowledge.
Yep, from The Revolution. He made this song right after they disbanded. I know that because I could have sworn this was a Prince song when I heard it on the radio, LOL
@VideoVixen24 He was never with the revolution. He was the guitar player for Morris Day and The Time . Prince and the Revolution's guitar player was female . Her name was lisa or windy . The Time disbanded after Purple Rain was made and that was in 1984. Jesse came out with this in 1985 long b4 The Revolution disbanded in 1989.
@ayabtiyah2004 The Revolution disbanded in late 1986. Sign O' The Times came out in 1987, by then Prince had a new line up which included Sheila E. on drums also Mico Weaver on guitar. Jerome Benton also was included.
I'll B U'r girl anytime Jesse.............I miss the 80's.................everything was original....the sound, the style of dress, everything.Music 2day is without substance and bland as hell.Thanxs 4 the memories.Great Upload.
Not slammin Jesse, but during this, he had a bust with his gal"cutie pie' Jesse got sited for fireing his semi auto(papers said machine gun) lol and blasting the piss out of his pink flamingos in the front yard. Gotta love Minneapolis in the 80's.
LMFAO!!!! YO PPL what would happen if one of the TODAYS artist looks like that, and RAPPING (not singing) a GANGSTA love song to his girl (but inside he's a bitch), cuz a nigga like me will be rollin', this is my first time ever saw this video, and i was LAUGHING so hard, when they first show his face,HAHAHAHA DAT NIGGA LOOK LIKE A STR8 UP FAGGOT, but yo i grew up on this song, i LOVE it, i know the lyrics and shit, but the video, my first time people. hahahahahahahaha DAMN!!!
Seems like yesterday when I was getting ready to go out an party with my friends on Friday and Saturday just listening to this being played on the radio, damn I miss those days. life was good and drama free.
i was a punk when this song was out. I was in love with this girl who fell in love with another dude who looked like morris day, boy did that hurt, i look better than that soul bro
You are so wrong for that!! LOL!!! You are messing up my image of Jesse. LOL!!! I find it so funny how I used to have a huge crush on this guy and he wore more makeup than I did.
This boy was bad to the bone and surely proved it when he broke solo. I haven't heard this since the late 80s and am so grateful for the post. The Time could've been an R&B version of the beatles. So much talen, so much creativity. Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Morris Day, JellyBean Johnson, Monte Moir and then throw Jerome in the mix. Smoking hot!!
TOTAL OLD SCHOOL CLASSIC!!!!! Thanks for posting this. I haven't seen this video since 1987. Ah slow dancing with lovely latin women at Florenteen Gardens in West Hollywood to jams like this back in the late 80's. Good stuff.
Man I remember this song back in the day. I think I was like 7 or 8 years old. My older cousin (back then) LOVED this group and Ready for the World. When the videos would come on Video Soul she would scream SO LOUD it scarred me to death. lol lol
See how much shock trauma folks can go through. lol
alot of people slept on this dude right here.this whole record is dope

@Clarenzr As for me and my opinion I would rather take a robot over theese young hip hop dudes any day.....The robots have more originality than they do. They sample the oldskool music, but wont sample the oldskool knowledge.

Yep, from The Revolution. He made this song right after they disbanded. I know that because I could have sworn this was a Prince song when I heard it on the radio, LOL

@VideoVixen24 He was never with the revolution. He was the guitar player for Morris Day and The Time . Prince and the Revolution's guitar player was female . Her name was lisa or windy . The Time disbanded after Purple Rain was made and that was in 1984. Jesse came out with this in 1985 long b4 The Revolution disbanded in 1989.

@ayabtiyah2004 The Revolution disbanded in late 1986. Sign O' The Times came out in 1987, by then Prince had a new line up which included Sheila E. on drums also Mico Weaver on guitar. Jerome Benton also was included.

This boy was bad to the bone and surely proved it when he broke solo. I haven't heard this since the late 80s and am so grateful for the post. The Time could've been an R&B version of the beatles. So much talen, so much creativity. Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, Morris Day, JellyBean Johnson, Monte Moir and then throw Jerome in the mix. Smoking hot!!

Man I remember this song back in the day. I think I was like 7 or 8 years old. My older cousin (back then) LOVED this group and Ready for the World. When the videos would come on Video Soul she would scream SO LOUD it scarred me to death. lol lol
See how much shock trauma folks can go through. lol
