Sorry to resurrect a 2-year-old thread, but I have digital burn of the Jesse James song "Obeah Me" (link to image below) and its a really great track. As the above posts' say, it's in a similar style to Billy Boyo / Little Harry etc etc. I can't find anything online about this artist, and if someone could point me towards a discography (if one exists), or more information of any kind, I would really appreciate it...

Jesse James is also singing on an early Ariwa inch:

ARI 1003 Jessy James & Family Love - Young Girl // SWAPO March Song

Pretty sweet voice - as far as I can remember the name on my inch is JessE (and not JessY!), don't know if he is the same guy as the above mentioned DJ.

Hi Hans

I actually tracked down a copy of the Ariwa 81 Front Room sessions LP that featured that track, and it turned out to be a different Jesse James. Still, it wasnt a complete bust because the LP itself was very cool...

Tello Vibration hi Fi North Coast, Jamaica December 1982
Featuring: Papa Tullo, Jockey Rider, Little Jerry, **Jesse James**...
Selectors: Leroy & Natty...

“To start this atmospheric, taped in the dance, session the Tello Vibration crew of Leroy and Natty draw Icho Candy’s “Captain Selassie I “ and Triston Palma’s “Entertainment which both ride the ever popular “Heavenless” riddim. The senior deejay is Papa Tullo, later to become a Jammy’s regular as Tulloch T, and here he dispenses good advice to the masses in “Badness No Pay” as well as commentary on world events such as the war in Lebanon. Jockey Rider, a regular around the Montego Bay sound systems, deejays well too, requesting “No War in This Dance”. There’s a couple of “little MC’s” here with youthman Little Jerry saluting his mother whilst the even younger **Jesse James** predictably gets forwards from the crowd when he reaches up for the microphone. Dubplates from the like of Eek A Mouse and the then currently hot singer Don Carlos complete this excerpt from a long lost sound.”
