Band/artist history
JESSE JAMES, affectionately known as J.J. to friends and close associates, has a unique soulful sound. Born in Louisanna, JESSE'S singing abilty was recognizable at an early age where he debuted singing for God alongside his mother in church. While still a toddler, his family relocated to California. After literally singing his way through school he accepted his first professional singing engagement at The Makesmo, a popular Richmond nightclub. That is where JESSE'S singing style and flavor earned him constant bookings and respect as a professional recording artist, composer and entertainer. Working with the late great Hosea Wilson, who was the National Promotion Director for 20th Century Records, JESSE enjoyed sucess with his first major release "BELIEVE IN ME BABY". JESSE quickly became a hot ticket and made believers out of Critics. The hit "I CAN DO BAD BY MYSELF" launched a new chapter in JESSE'S career. In 1988, JESSE signed with Barbara Thomas; President of ATL based Gunsmoke Records and released four CDs. The first cd " I CAN DO BAD BY MYSELF", sold over one million copies that included great hits such as ZZ Hill's "CHEATIN IN THE NEXT ROOM" as well as "I CAN DO BAD BY MYSELF REMIX". The versatility of this CD included a collection of past recordings which were huge seller overseas. JESSE'S third album at Gunsmoke Records dealt with social-economic issues with the songs like "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DREAM", "SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN" and "WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT". The fourth CD is entitled "IT JUST DON'T FEEL THE SAME" also showcases JESSE'S versatility with soulful gospel and R&B sounds. I is no surprise that JESSE would pay tribute to his roots in the gospel song "THE FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE". For blues lovers, he features MILLIE JACKSON on the remix of, "IT JUST DON'T FEEL THE SAME". JESSE JAMES is back blazing the trails with his latest CD release, "IT'S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL." This CD is by far the best yet. JESSE continues to reinvent himself with his continuous drive and determination, proving that he does have staying power.
