I remember Da Krash...I have one of their singles...I think it was called "Wasn't I good to ya"...or something like that. Its somewhere in the garage.

Jesse also produced Janet Jackson's 2nd album, "Dream Street"

This album, in my opinion, was Janet at her best. I remember Jesse producing "Fast Girls". My favorite Janet Jackson song EVER is "Don't Stand Another Chance". When she did her little greatest hits album years later, she only included 1986-1996. Those first two albums had some jams on them and should have been included on the greatest hits.

I remember Kool School.....obscure new jack that one.."My girl" was slammin'....like Andre, Jesse showed many years after leaving prince that he still had the skillz and the funk with him.....

3SB (3 Shades Brown)!

I LOVE the da Krash album, they should have done a lot better than they did.

He also produced Tamara and the Seen. The cut was "everybody dance".

Seeing as Kool Skool is basically Da Krash, i guess there were only really two or three, i honestly thought there were more

Yeah, I know Dee Dee, the guitarist in DaKrash. He went on to play with Bootsy for a little bit. I played with him in a band called Dirty Diapers for a little while. Yeah, Da'Krash's album was good. There was a cut on there called "Uptown". It was a ballad, very good song. Jessie did a good job with that album.

Jesse did a lot of production work for other artists, but it usually just amounted to a few tracks as opposed to entire albums like Ta Mara and daKrash/Kool Skool.

For example:

Janet Jackson (two tracks on the 'Dream Street' LP)
After 7 (the single "Nights Like This" from the Five Heartbeats soundtrack)
Sue Ann Carwell (half of her album 'Blue Velvet')
Paula Abdul (the track "I Need U" from 'Forever Your Girl')
Vanity ("Undress" and "Faraway Eyes" from the Action Jackson soundtrack)

There are several more that I can't remember right now.

does anyone have the da krash album? maybe we could work a trade...

He produced Cheryl Lynn 2! BTW, does any1 remember 3SB (with Kim Cage on lead vocals)? If u'r a fan of Jesse's work U should try & pick that album up!
