#TBT #1986 Fave tune from me high school days. AFAIK This is #SlyStone's final appearance on the R&B charts. Number one #Cashbox, number two #Billboard, number two #RadioAndRecords. #Music #RhythmAndBlues #Funk #Minneapolis #JesseJohnson #Crazay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maHadudeqP4

I woke up all about the funk this morning. #JesseJohnson #SlyStone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maHadudeqP4

The Time, The Time (Self-Titled), 1981 on Warner Bros.

This was the debut LP from Morris Day and co, though they started playing together in the early seventies under different names. The band here still includes Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who went on to become a well-known producing duo, and guitarist Jesse Johnson who made some solo releases.

While most folks know The Time from their appearance in Purple Rain and the hits that came out of that, I love this earlier record.

Solo album from #JesseJohnson - former guitarist/songwriter for #TheTime, and #Prince nemesis #NowPlaying #VinylJunkie #VintageVinyl

#FunkyFriday IMHO #JesseJohnson is one of the all-time great funk guitarists, helluva rock’n’roller too. Also wrote some catchy tunes that were all over the radio back in the day. Y’all remember this one? Woof! 🎵 🎶 🎸 👍 😁 #Music #Funk #Soul #RhythmAndBlues #Guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccc7ivXUwK8
