..and even though Jesse already stated clearly in his message, the specific reason he wants to leave the group, which has nothing to do with Prince. |

From Jesse's recent post it sounds like he's done regardless of whatever any other members have to say about the situation.
I wish him the best on his future plans.

me neither....
he was voted out of the band back in the Pandemonium / Graffiti Bridge days
i've always felt Jesse was the 'odd man out' in THE TIME - a little detatched from the others - both creatively and stylistically.
it's killed the original seven so what now for morris, jimmy, terry, jellybean, monte and jerome? holding something together that is falling apart |

I know Jellybean is touring with Fdeluxe in Europe starting next month. Morris has supposedly got gig lined up till February with the 'Morris Day & The Time' line-up. As for the others, ???.

This will go right to the hearts of those who blame Prince for everything and wanted O7 to unite against him....OH WELL!! ![lol](/i/s/icon_lol.gif)
This is sad because I felt Jesse's solo had a huge impact on many of the songs. Won't be the same. This is one helluva cd and I still got it on repeat. I was hoping to have my dreams fulfilled and see all the original members live on stage. I'll still keep hoping it will still happen. |

I think that's quite touching...he sounds a bit like Prince in that way....maybe that's why they argue...because they are similar.. |

Hmm...perhaps fed up of the band getting controlled by Prince via cease and desists and the band not wanting to stand up to P and rock the boat....so he thought 'f*** this, i'm my own man'.

Maybe he read the comments on the org. Now even though he said there's more important things in the world to be concerned about, he was the one who used FB to express his feelings about leaving the group, so I'm sure he also expected responses to his comment. Oh well, wish him well in whatever he chooses to do 'alone'. What remains to be seen, is how the rest of the OG7 minus 1, will deal with this. [Edited 12/15/11 16:33pm] |

Well I find it interesting that Morris Day and The Time are touring regularly, not the OG7. Maybe he want's to be more active. I know Jam and Lewis aren't big on touring. That can pose a problem. Most money is made touring these days.
At this point we're all speculating. All we know is:
1. he was offered a spot in D'Angelo's band and 2. it's time for him to do the walk from the OG7.
(bolded part) Really? That's news to me. Well, I guess he sees that as an opportunity, so if that's what he chooses to do, then all anyone can do is wish him well, but how often does D'Angelo perform, make new music, tour? I don't see why Jesse can't do both if the OG7 isn't going to tour much or have a busy schedule. All the other guys have other projects they are working on (Well, I don't know if Jerome has an extra job holding up a mirror) so maybe he could work something out with the fellas or could use that opportunity to move on from the OG7. ![shrug](/i/s/icon_shrug.gif)
bolded part.......YEP!!!!! Look @ His Facebook page!!!!!
D'Angelo reportedly has Pino Paladino back on Bass (from the Voodoo era), and Chris "Daddy" Dave on Drums. CAN U IMAGINE if INDEED He got Jesse on Guitar??? Daaaaaaaaaamn!!!!!

I have to agree something did seem strange when Jesse recently announced that he was considering touring with D’angelo. I was like he is spreading himself to thin. Now I know why. He had already left the band. Then I heard an interview with him recently on the radio & he never mentioned the band members of The 07ven.He did say he enjoyed playing The Times songs live. So maybe he will do a Prince & take over the songs 4 himself in his own shows.
Its sad all the preparation that went in2 this new project 07ven. I always thought it was doomed from the start since Prince wouldn’t ok the name. It just didn’t feel right to me. But I’m glad I was able 2 c there first per4mance here in LA. Hope they can work things out though. They can’t go on without him. The new name won’t work. The album is fire to… But Jesse was always the highlight in there reunion shows when they let him do his songs. This just proves that too much talent in one group just doesn't work. Too many egos. I bet Prince is having the last laugh now.... ![giggle](/i/s/icon_giggle.gif)

I was actually just kidding about him reading comments on the org yes it only makes sense he responds to his FB friends' questions about what he expressed about leaving the group. Maybe he should just stick to doing his own thing and not obligate himself to any group. Maybe his true desire is to achieve success for his guitar-playing skills, as a lone musician with a household name, not attached to any particular group.
We shall see. ![shrug](/i/s/icon_shrug.gif) [Edited 12/15/11 16:51pm] |

Jesse seems kind of like the George Harrison/Mike Nesmith of the group. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton |

Dr. Funkenberry posted it as well. Words from Jesse just a tidbit different from how the OP posted it here, but basically the same. I just noticed in the promo pic of the OG7, Jesse was the only one not raising his wrist to look at his watch. I guess he was always the rebellious one in the group. (Lawd I have way too much time on my hands today)

It seems the band formerly known as The Time may be the band formerly known as The Original 7ven as Jesse Johnson has announced he is leaving the band.
Jesse Johnson took to his Facebook Fan Page to make the announcement;
Hello Babies, I don't really think I'll be performing with the Original 7 (or The Time if your nasty) any more! We simple don't see eye to eye on anything. Love the guys, but I feel in my heart it's "Time" to walk away while we're all still friends. May Peace be you. PeaceLove, Jesse Johnson Bey ♥
Wow. So, I am wondering if this will derail all plans for a tour and to promote the album in 2012. I mean, how can you tour as The Original 7ven when it would actually be 6?
The Original 7ven. Promo Photo
The band announced their reunion earlier this year and with the reunion came the name change as they no longer could be called "The Time" due to Prince owning the name. All this ground work and a funky album and......now this.
We wonder what the other boys in the band think of this news?-DocFB

Selfish move if you ask me.
He should have stuck it out for the fans.
I can't blame him though, the new songs don't really suit him and I doubt he had much input behind the album.

This time comes when we have to do things for ourselves and not for anyone else. My feeling is Jesse was not doing the reunion for himself but for fans.
i'll look forward to seeing him in chicago, hopefully. |

In the late 1990's, all 4 Monkees reunited (after Mike had turned down such tours over the years) and recorded an album called Justus. They also filmed a TV special and went on a tour. They toured Europe, but when the tour was headed to the US, Mike up and quit with no explanation. So the others continued as a trio. They weren't pleased.
