Arkansas native James McClelland aka "Jesse James" came up during the early 1960's singing in nightclubs in the Bay Area where his family had relocated when he was a child, and recorded a handful of singles for a few local labels, several of which feature Sly Stone's guitar work. He scored his first big hit with the tune "At Last" which entered the top 25 of the R&B charts in 1972. Presented here is his classic 1987 album "It Takes One to Know One," which spawned the big hit "I Can Do Bad By Myself" that became his signature tune. All selections newly remastered.
