He and his family moved to Chicago, IL while he was young and during his time singing around Chicago he was discovered by James Cleveland. James Cleveland recorded early songs written by Jessy entitled “God Can Do Anything But Fail,” and “My God Can Make A Way.” Continuing to sing Jessy formed a group of his own The Jessy Dixon Singers who travelled the country singing and performing. •In 1972 Jessy was invited to perform his new song, “The Wicked Shall Cease Their Troubling.” at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
