RELEASE DATE

LP version. Housed in an old-style, heavyweight paste-on sleeve with notes written by
Liam Large
based on new interviews with
Obie Jessie
. Strictly limited to 999 numbered copies.
Young Jessie
is one of the unheralded greats of the R&B, rock & roll and soul eras. Beginning his career as a young teenager in L.A. vocal group the
Flairs
(with schoolmate
Richard Berry
, later of "Louie Louie" infamy), he then signed on with Modern Records and cut several high-quality R&B sides through the mid-1950s. Never quite achieving the level of fame and fortune of some of his immediate peers, the closest Young Jessie got to a hit was 1956's "Mary Lou," which sold well regionally and was later on covered by the likes of
Bob Seger
and the
Steve Miller Band
. Meanwhile, Young Jessie busied himself recording demos with
Leiber & Stoller
for one of their regular artists,
Elvis Presley
. Flitting between labels at the end of the '50s and into the '60s, his own output remained consistently of a very high quality, and always in step with the changing times -- from doo-wop in his beginnings through blues, R&B, rock & roll and into soul. Throughout all of that, Young Jessie always considered himself a jazz singer first and foremost, and this influence underpins all of his vocal performances. This is a special retrospective LP of some of the finest moments of Young Jessie's career, between 1953 and 1963.
