Black In America-Jesse Johnson

Great song-meaningful message. Song is just to short, but a great effort by Mr. Johnson wink

Well Kim Cage was his normal back up vocalist, but on the Live performance he did on video Soul Marva King sang on it. I love that performance cause Jesse just starts rippin' on the end of the song cool

Interesting fact indeed that Marva collabo'd with the Minnie-groove at that early stage,
... almost 10 years before she appeared on the New Power Soul-album and toured with Prince's Jam Of The Year-Tour around that release.
