1196.0. "Who is singing about "JESSIE"?????" by UTRTSC::VDWIEL () Fri Nov 19 1993 15:04


	Desperate!!!!

	I am looking for a song that we have heard often
	last weeks on SKY-RADIO (from the U.K. I believe)

	We listen a lot to that station because they do
	not use disk-jockey's and playing golden-oldies
	and melodious new-stuff.
	At this time it is a disadvantage, because now we
	do not know the name of the artist and the title
	of the song.

	The voice looks very much like ELTON JOHN, but I'm
	not sure.
	He sings about "JESSIE", but I do not know if it is
	the title.
	It is a melodious song with piano background music.

	Can anyone help me.

	Rgrds Peter van de Wiel Holland

	I will write this in a few different note-files
	so if you can help me, please send mail to

	I have a daughter called Jessie so I pay particular notice to such songs. I know of three... 1 - Madonna's JESSIE from a few years back. 2 - Harper's Bizarre's JESSIE from their Anything Goes album circa 1966. 3 - A.N. Other's Jessie from a compilation I have. Can't remember the name of the artist (male). He seems to be talking about a male Jessie. I think it's called Jessie's Girl. Richard

	Jessies Girl was done by Rick Springfield, I believe. Late 70's - Early 80's era. Andy
1196.3	Elton John sound-a-like	CSLALL::RAPAGLIA_NM	Where did I go wrong?	`Mon Nov 22 1993 15:24`	5
	The song "Jessie" is sung by Joshua Patterson and he does sound a little like Elton John. I think it's fairly new, in the states, because over the weekend was the first time I've heard it. Nancy
1196.4	OOPS!!!	CSLALL::RAPAGLIA_NM	Where did I go wrong?	`Mon Nov 22 1993 18:00`	3
	I had the wrong name for poor Joshua. His last name is, Kadison. Nancy

	Re -.2 No, Jessie is NOT short for Jessica. Jessica has a Jewish derivation whereas Jessie is officially a pet name for Jane and has strong Scottish roots. There, that's the most utter trivia for the day! Richard
1196.8	only kidding	CHEFS::IMMSA	adrift on the sea of heartbreak	`Mon Jan 17 1994 16:06`	10
	Richard I'll bet you would not have gone up to Jessie James and told him his real name was Jane. :-) andy
