LMAO! There is NOTHING underrated about him. He was hand-picked by Prince to play guitar in The Time, ended up being Prince's right-hand man and running The Time once Morris checked out, had his own band and couple hits, and has been world famous as a guitarist for the last 40 plus years. Now with a resume like that, either you don't know what underrated means, or you're doing what most people on KZitem do: OVERUSING the word underrated.

@@Igaveyoumyfakename Damn, you know how to break it down. I'm a Jesse fan, so I agree with everything you said. He's a major talent as a guitarist, and the driving force behind the funky sound of The Time. I guess I was referring to him as a commercial success on his own and name recognition beyond us old school fanatics. He deserved more success in a broad, commercial sense. But I think so much of that is based on personality and the connections in the music industry. With The Time, no one could upstage Morris Day. The act Jesse produced Ta Mara & The Seen was a major venture that also deserved more commercial success. "Everybody Dance" brought the crowd to the dance floor in the 80s, and to this day, I pound that song til I almost blow my speakers. I wish the Ta Mara project had continued with greater success. . . . but I agree with you, Jesse is one of the best in the world.

Jesse Johnson plays Guitar on D'Angelo's 2014 Album, "Black Messiah." He also toured in D'Angelo's band, "The Vanguard." This was a few years after Jesse reunited with the original members of The Time as "The Original 7ven" in 2011 for their album "Condensate" (as their 30 year Reunion). At the time, Prince wouldn't let them use the name "The Time," so they renamed themselves.
