    Janis writes music, her lyrics are poetry, her voice so sweet, plays guitar and piano. What a true talent she is!!!

    I learned the truth at 17 that love was made for beauty queens - oh how that stings, how true at 17. And today, and of course, Jesse come there’s a hole in the bed where we slept - I’m leaving the light on the stairs - I’ll wait for you. How many of us felt that pain, I love Janis - she helped me thru some hard times. Mahalo Janis Ian.

    Janis' beautiful voice and phrasing bring me to joyous tears every time I hear "Jesse."
    I've been a fan since I was a young teen ~ just couldn't get enough of "Society's Child." Her songwriting is timeless. God bless her for all she's been through.....

    I was so blessed to see her in Santa Cruz, CA about 6-8 yrs ago. I'd read her book Society's Child, so good..... I just love her she's just so down to earth and talented. I brought my Stars album and she signed it. What an honor to hear her play and sing live. Let alone get to meet her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    This song came out shortly before my nephew Jesse, committed suicide. Her beautiful voice and the sorrowfulness of this song has always, always made me feel like she's speaking to our loss.

      I’m so sorry to hear about your nephew, Jesse. I can only imagine how this song strikes a mournful chord of sadness and bittersweet memories of your beautiful nephew. My heart hurts for you. I pray you will be given peace , as much is possible, anyway. I will never be able to listen to this song without thinking of your tragic loss, ever again. He was blessed to have such a loving family member as you. God bless you and keep you. - Terri Kendall 😭🙏🏻❤️

    Aw shucks, wonderful version of Jesse... I once drove a cab in Toronto and delivered Janis and a few of hers to a downtown hotel in Toronto from a not terribly good Chinese restaurant in the east end... I drove her without saying a word BECAUSE! When we go to the hotel the band dumped out of the cab and left her with the tab... I said, No, not for you... Her artistry has so enriched me, has been in my heart forever... Thank-you for posting this and thank-you forever, Janis. -Brian Vanderlip

    On this day in 1973 {June 19th} Roberta Flack performed "Jesse" on her own ABC-TV special 'Roberta Flack: The First Time Ever'...
    A little under three months later on September 16th, 1973 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #83; five weeks later on October 21st, 1973 it would peak at #30 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 9 weeks...
    It reached #3 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and #19 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart...
    The song was surrounded by #1 records; her two previous releases, "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Killing Me Softly with His Song", both peaked at #1; then "Jesse" was succeeded by "Feel Like Makin' Love", which also reached #1...
    "Jesse" was composed by Janis Ian; and Ms. Ian would record it herself for her 1974 album 'Stars'...
