Dick Clark Interviews Jesse Johnson's Revue - American Bandstand 1985

[@laurkanwalton5766]

I ❤️ Jesse Johnson he's my favourite guitarist very underrated.

[@cynthiahopkins8799]

I always loved Jesse Johnson's music 🎵🎶🎶 got all of his solo albums too!!! I'm one of his biggest fans!!! 👑💖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stseinyt]

I LOOve Jesse Johnson! Thank you, Prince!

[@TheBbtlegit]

this was the 80s people that how bands looked back then look at all the hair metal bands back in the day they also wore heavy makeup. So just because he had makeup on does not mean he is gay.

[@lastdays3148]

One word,TRUE!

[@adc2327]

It was sexy, pretty boy swag and ladies loved it. I did! That was the 80s.lol!

[@starrcompany3275]

@@adc2327 Yea,Prince and the guy from Shalamar and Andre cymone said it in different interviews that women liked flamboyant men back then that dressed a certain way and looked a certain way! And they all agreed that if that was the way to get women then they would dress that way! Plus like someone said all the rock stars did it David Bowie, a lot of rock bands wore makeup long hair and pranced the stage! And women loved it🖤

[@lql1094]

@@starrcompany3275 He looked so much better without the makeup. I just saw a BET interview.

[@ericbush3399]

Make up & gheri curl juice was the times.

[@ChiefMac]

Some just dont get it. This was the 80's. Fun fun fun fun fun Time!!

[@plmitch]

Rob iMac soooooo true. all these follks and their homophobic comments are killing me. they need to do research on the 80's (androgyny) generally and the minneapolis sound/style SPECIFICALLY before they keep posting the lameness. it's like viewing 60's (counter) cultures (i.e. mod and hippie) and making stupid observations about the hair and clothing. these were just the times. . . . those that come behind THIS culture will have LOADS of criticisms to make, TRUST. . .

[@EmmyV2002]

And this is one of the reasons why the 80s are one of my favorite decades.

[@kingperalta]

Dick was such an amazing human being, always genuinely enthusiastic to interview and speak to the acts he had on the show, no matter who they were, where they came from and what genre they were playing.

[@ghusaghusa2135]

Dicks are like that

I will always be a fan of Jesse Johnson! He could play that guitar! He had a smoth voice! Always and forever a fan! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@edwinkirkland8856]

The album FAN🎉TASTIC

[@TheWavy87]

Prince's camp were all pretty boys lol

[@lastdays3148]

I was a Teenager Lady in the 1980s and I loved that look on the men. The were sexy and I dated a couple of guys who looked like them. They were sexy and the majority of the men were not gay. Remember this was the 1980s and if you were in that time,than you would understand. However,there are going to be other people who despised that look and that is fine to do. But,for others,such as myself we loved that appearance on the men.

[@adc2327]

Well I was grown in the 80s and yes it was on with the sexy, pretty boy swag! I totally understand.

[@christopheralmeda6403]

Would u still date a man who wears makeup now and high heels?

[@Stephanie-007]

The 80's was a mood and a half! ❤

[@bernberns4980]

@ lastdays ditto, I too was a teenager in the 80's I wish I was in Minneapolis - there wasn't much here to choose from in London uk - still isnt😢😂😂 😂😂 I'm a huge Prince lover and tried to look like Sheila E ❤ oh and Andre Cymone phwoooaaarrr💜🥰

[@starrcompany3275]

He was really a man's man back then! When you look at him you don't see feminine or anything you see a man even though he has makeup on it's crazy! All those guys back at that time wore makeup and stuff back then and got all the women! And don't think iits strange because the white rockers was doing it as well. David Bowie, Adam Ant bands like Kiss and others! 👍🏿 (Rock & Roll baby)

[@lastdays3148]

Yes that is so true. Jesse mannerism were very masculine. I am from that time and in High School,we the majority of us the ladies we loved that appearance on the men. They were sexy,with make up on their faces,yet they were still masculine.It sounds crazy,but yes the majority of the men were masculine.

[@ERICF66]

Let me tell you who do not know, looking and dressing like that back in the 80s got you LOTS of hot girls! Make no mistake, it was on! I loved rocking a version of that style. I'm sure some of you guys can agree on this! ;)

[@lastdays3148]

Haha,true and I was a Teenager Lady in the 1980s and I was drawn towards that appearance on the fellows.

[@dme1016]

Some of us musicians got lots & LOTS of girls - an over-abundance of girls, without makeup.

[@EmmyV2002]

It's too bad that I'm a girl that lives in modern times and I love the Prince/JJ look on men of the 80s. It's sexy as fuck without having too much femininity over it.

[@edwinkirkland8856]

Bring back the 80S🎉❤😂

[@mrsain19]

I always wondered what Prince thought of the other band members when his proteges broke off and created their own bands. such as Jesse's band members, or Morris' band members when he went solo.....did Prince know them, what Prince thought of their skills......etc.

[@wendileona]

Purple factoid: Prince advised Jesse after leaving The Time for solo work, they were good friends... to never RAP. .::Modernaire

[@paulhue86]

Let that be an eternal lesson for all the kids out there now and forever: NEVER RAP.

[@randy5880]

But Prince “rapped”

[@tspcocktail]

@@randy5880 tried to rap

[@Cameo718.]

Interesting still: I think Cameo were one of the few funk bands to pull it off with resounding results like Strange and Urban Warrior..

[@sistercecelia]

I so missed my mark..I had a backstage pass to be with Jesse and I did not want to play the easy girl.

[@edwinkirkland8856]

They weren't GAY they were intelligent and blessed and humbled period

[@EmmyV2002]

That lady with a demon fangirl screetch sounds like her ovaries were caught on fire. And I love the way Jesse speaks, it's like hot melted caramel ❤

[@crenshawblaster3982]

a friend of mine once named 80's as a lesbian male decade! they all look cool in a glam way, it was the 80's after all. Alexander O'Neal, Robert Brookins, Prince, Morris Day, Jesse Johnson, Phil Oakey of Human League...

[@Saibot00]

I always wondered why bands from Minneapolis in the 80's dressed like Little Richard?

Prince was intimidated by this man. He kills it on the guitar

[@MrFilmoreJr]

speedgazelle Straight bullshit!! Prince is a 1 (that means one) of a kind! Jesse would NOT have made it (possibly) if not for Prince employing him. Please be wise and don't compare Prince to Jesse! It's ludicrous to do so! Jesse knows that!!!!!

@@MrFilmoreJr I wouldn't say he was "intimidated" by Jesse, but he definitely gave Prince even more motivation to stay on his toes: Prince picked him up because he was impressed by his 30 minute guitar solo. No small feet.
