He was 69.\n\nOn the Wednesday before his death, Johnson shared a message to mark his 69th birthday and to garner support for his latest project, the Minneapolis Sound Museum, ”As I approach this birthday, I've been asking myself what legacy really means. What do I want to leave behind? What do I want people — especially our young people — to know? And the truth is simple: I want our story protected. I want our community honored. I want the next generation to have what we had: access, opportunity, and a place to belong.”\nhttps://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jellybean-johnson-the-time-prince-dead-obituary-1235471010/\n--\n\"The Bird\" was initially recorded in the studio in 1983 with all instruments by Prince, except guitar, which was performed by Jesse Johnson.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
