In 1975, Jessi Colter had a country-pop crossover hit, "I'm Not Lisa". At the beginning of the song, the first words are "I'm Not Lisa, my name is Julie". Well, everytime I hear that song, I say to myself, "Well, your name isn't Julie either, It's Jessi". I was listening to the American Top 40 show from May 31, 1975 over the weekend and Casey did a story about the Jessi Colter name. He said that Jessi Colter chose that name from a member of Jesse James' gang. I was reading Jessi's en.wikipedia page and she chose that name to honor her great-grandfather, Jesse Colter. By the way, Jessi's real name is Miriam Johnson.
