@@blackheartbev3098 lowkey, he said ima save it for heaven 🥹🙌🏾

@@wingshuttrphotographyandfi3731 Low-key, save it for the paying fans who make it possible for you to be on a stage.

Yeah that's right leave it on the stage, all you got to give for paying folk, not heaven where no one paid...no wait there wasJESUS AND THAT WHOLE BLOOD FOR OUR SINS, payment!!!!! Anyone hello hello any one remember that???

🤣

True THAT!🙏🏾💛🙏🏾

I was about to say…that’s bc they had to have REAL talent back then!

Yes indeed…the best era of RB 🎶 Music

😂true

Bruhhhh. Jps range is stupid good

When I drive and this comes on I be speeding my ass off and singing like I think o can I’m so damn hurt

The way the neighbors reported me singing this song n murdering the high notes like an angry alley cat. This is the song I wanted to dance at my wedding to. So sad 😞 RIP.

Beautiful song by a wonderful guy RIP DAMN 09/14/2022

4 Octave range.

Right

Thank you. Regards, Jesse's widow.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@GaryBoyd1209 You're Very Welcome! God Bless you and your family.

So sad.

Yea you not lying. There aren’t m too many strong vocalist like this anymore. Plus songs unfortunately aren’t slowed to this tempo anymore so singers aren’t displaying their full capabilities with long notes anymore

REST PEACEFULLY

Life is so very precious... This young man's voice was sweet wine to the hearts and souls of millions. I'm so sad that he's gone. May angels of comfort and compassion be with his family and all who tasted the the sweet wine in his voice. Soulful, good looking, Jesse, RIP.. Ms J

@@_CaliDre100 I don't think i can name even one artist who has long notes in today's music. None. For vocalist, may be Jacquees, August Alsina.

💯

So, so sad! 😢😢😢

Broke my heart!

Sad

That’s the saddest part😢

💕😢😢

Thank you for your kind words. Regards, Jesse's widow.🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻

Agreed so true

He Just Died

Hollyweird is Evil

Now he’s gone😭

@@teelabo1269 True

Why was he blacklisted?

These artist today could never. I like Chris Brown & not taking anything away from his talent but he could never, even in his prime. Hollyweird don't like wholesome artist with no scandals

@@rashadhaughton22 It's a shame that R&B devolved into what it has over the past twenty years. Thanks to artists like Jesse, the 90s was the last great/golden era, and we will NEVER have it that good again.

@@GaryBoyd1209 Jesse was 100% single, never married and has no children.

Rest In Peace

Clear as a bell!

Thank you.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Only one who’s come anywhere close is Avery Wilson and even he couldn’t touch Jesse’s incredible range & control.

He sung this

He sung this jam

🙏💔

Absolutely

You win the comment of the year on that comment. LOL😂😂 Great comment😃

So sad he died the day after his 51st birthday. I wonder what happened!

@Mrsjapowell dang so sorry for you and your family loss! 💔💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@Mrsjapowell you are very welcome

​@@latasha195 Wait he had a wife?? Did he have children. So many questions. I knew Jesse. I worked in production and in 2004 he disappeared. My boss was looking for him but he never responded. Wow.

@@traci-mr3gg I didn't think he had a wife and I don't think he has children either! Someone claimed they are his wife but they have deleted their messages and they even wrote on his obituary so I don't know honestly! People be lying!

@@GaryBoyd1209 ♥♥♥

Thank you so much for this comment! First i went and watched his video for "Gloria" featuring the beautiful Stacey Dash! Then i went and watched the Enchantments perform it live on Soul Train in their all-white tuxedos. Literally brought tears to my eyes! #RipJesse

@@mack1820 thank you mack for the lovely response. I will try & locate the interview with Enchantment, JP, & Mr Stokes (the original producer of “Gloria” who also produced JP’s version). They said many artists wanted permission to remake this song, but only JP gave it justice, so they even allowed him to use the original tracks. He was phenomenal! May he rest in peace🙏🏾🥰❤️🙏🏾🥰

Yeah he was Emmanuel Johnson's protege. Emmanuel Johnson is the lead singer of enchantment. Their voices are so similar

@@RTDavis0503 I’m sure Jesse would be surprised to know he was Emanuel’s protege, especially since Jesse maintained that he wasn’t trying to sound like nobody but himself.

@@SpicyWife4Life Being someone's protege doesn't necessarily mean that they are trying to sound the same. It means that they were guided or supported by an older influential person. I'm pretty sure that Emmanuel wouldn't be surprised at the idea of Jesse being his protege at all.

So true. He was one of a kind and so beautiful inside and out. RIP Jesse. I love you so much. Your other half Lynne.❤❤❤❤❤❤🪽🙏🙏

Facts

@saphrfly, the stage wasn't for my husband anymore. He loved being home with us. He still worked but basically at home. I'm sure you understand that family comes first.

His wife made him leave the music business. Jesse was married way before he was discovered. I went to a private School with him. I knew him and his wife Ezra. She probably told him she wanted to stay overseas. They controlled each other. I'm sure they had kids and were probably tired of going back and forth.

I was watching the video just because and saw all the rip

@EzraPowell-cj5hk Ahh, you are so welcome. I have been there, so I know your pain. It is surely a journey. Having God close, makes it easier. Stay strong, and stay blessed.🙏😇❤

@EzraPowell-cj5hk You're very welcome. To lose someone you were so intimate with..smh......it's just a big void. I lost my father almost 2 years & that pain was it for me. First my love, then him. 😔 There better be an after life, because that is what I hold onto. The thought of not seeing my loved ones again scares me. But I have to hold onto faith. That is all we have, to get through each day. Remember, he is with you. Keep his memory alive. He seemed to have chosen right, by marrying you. A minister too? God bless. 😇❤

Thanks, he loved his fans. Jesse's wife Lynne
