Boy, I loved this interview. Jesse sounds like he's let go of the bitterness and gives our man Prince his props, I guess the person who's interviewd right after Jesse is Alan Leeds??

I love Jesse. At the end of Jesse's last Atlanta show a few years ago, he just sat down by the stage and told storeis about him hanging with Prince back in the day.

Thanks, I wouldn't have guessed the others, although, I'm familiar with them but not their voice's so much. Would you happen to know when this interview took place, . I think that it was before death?

Love him. I believe the interview is before April. Not sure when.

i'll watch it later but i'll repeat what i've said, death makes us see how little most of this stuff really matters. It's good to see the wounds Prince may have inflicted did not stop most of his associates from saying a kind word or phrase after his passing. Even Alexander O'Neal who never had any love for him.

great to see his confirmation of Prince loving Little Richard and Elvis.

He comes across very well. He's a talented artist in his own right and deserves more recognition.

Thanks for posting. It makes me happy that he had good memories of Prince before he passed. I didn't realize they were so close.
