In 1981, Jesse Johnson hooked up with Morris Day in a band called Enterprise. Enterprise and the band Flyte Tyme were later brought together by Prince to form The Time.

Good to have you back. I only blogged for a year and know what a commitment it can be. Thanks for being all in.
The files sound great.
Thank you very much Sean.
The mp3 link links to the Every Shade Of Love 12” =)
Well, you figure, mass archiving 1500 separate folders into 1500 different RAR files, there’s gonna be some errors, right? But, they had to show up on day one? Just damn. I’m getting it resolved but, until I do so, links have been disabled on the Jesse posts. I think it’s just the Jesse mp3s that are screwy.
Nope, the entire batch of Jesse Johnson files I uploaded were screwy. All are being uploaded again, the links should be working properly in the next 10-12 hours… Sorry about that…
Files should be correct and links active now.
Thanks soo much!
This was the jam back in the day
Thanks
You’re welcome.
