Here're my favs...

1. I'm Just Wanting You [i could drink a case of this and still want some more]
2. Do Yourself a Favor [great bluesy Prince & Pepe song]
3. She's a Doll [i used to play this over and over and over -- love it!!]
4. Free World (extended) [in response to being a Prince look-alike, too funky!!]
5. Change Your Mind [love that freaky scream at the beginning as well]
6. Baby Let's Kiss (extended) [i love the guitars in this -- lead, rhythm, and bass]
7. Can You Help Me [another funky infectious groove -- listen to that bass, synth, and lead solo]
8. Crazay (remix) [great fun in the studio with Sly Stone]
9. Get To Know Ya [a guilty pleasure -- not sure why]
10. Let's Have Some Fun [just something about it]

sorry, no tunes from Bare My Naked Soul -- i like the album as a whole, but not any one particular song -- and i have yet to hear a few hard-to-get Jesse tunes

Definitely No. 6--so good!

Good picks everyone -- he really doesn't have many bad songs, does he?

Songs written for other people... hmm...

Janet Jackson (early and later), Paula Abdul, Sue Ann Carwell, Tamara & The Seen (lots of 'em!), and others.

My favs would be: "Affecttion" [sic] by Tamara & The Seen
and there are sooo many others!

edit: and the best Jesse sound-alike song: "Feel U Up" by Prince

Ten??!! Narrow that down to 3 at least! I mean, he's not Bob Dylan.

Bare Naked Soul is his best album to me. Everyone pretty much named all of his best songs, which I think are pretty obvious. Fool's Paradise and Free World to me is J.J. at his best, during a period when he was still trying to compete in the industry as an artist. Bare My Naked Soul is totally saying "Fuck the music biz", so it's a different joint all together.

i love all the others mentioned plus every shade of love and stop,look & listen

And I should add "I'm Just Wanting You". From a guitarist stand point, this song is killing! The guitars are layered very well with a good vintage tone.

Do yourself a favor ( I prefer this to Prince's version)

1) Free world (Its like he's say "yo momma" to the non-believers)
2) Cry Like the Skies (Very cool peace & love message into a raw ax solo)
3) Jungle Love ('cause he just jams it live)
4) Vibe (Could have been an Isley Brothers's Tune)
5) I want my girl( I can relate)/Get Ta know (again...I can relate!!!)
6) Do Yourself a favor (...baby keep stepin')
7) I'm Just wanting You (Another sign of great guitar work)
8) Better Way (Gospel/Bluesy ax work/nice message and hum by Jesse at the end)
9) Bella Bella (Tender ballad about his daughter)
10)Fool's Paradise (Hendrix Reborn)

!!Not in any particular order!!
I thought I could keep it to ten...oh well..."F" it!!!!
