Illinois-born funk/soul guitarist Jesse Johnson began playing guitar when he was 15, honing his chops in local rock bands throughout his teens and early twenties. On a friend's recommendation, he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he became the lead guitarist and a primary songwriter for the city's extraordinary funk-rock group <a href="spotify:artist:1EgGVV9cmmlLEsFlunjmvv">the Time</a>. After writing "Jungle Love," the group's most memorable and highest-charting single, Johnson signed a solo deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22A%26M%22">A&M</a> in 1984 and released Jesse Johnson's Revue the following year. Shockadelica and Every Shade of Love followed, building on the inventive, elaborate sound he forged with <a href="spotify:artist:1EgGVV9cmmlLEsFlunjmvv">the Time</a>. By 1990, the group had re-formed and issued Pandemonium, which once again showcased his songwriting and guitar skills. The highlights of his solo albums were collected on 2000's Jesse Johnson: The Ultimate Collection. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
