Avec Richard Berry il forme les Flairs en 1952 et enregistrent en 1953 leur premier single pour le label Flairs des frères Bihari "I had love / She wants to rock" (Flair 1012). Rebaptisé The Hunters pour cette occasion, ils enregistrent encore "Rabbit on the log". En 1954 lui et Berry débutent une carrière solo. En 1954 il enregistre une reprise de Big Mama Thornton "I smell a rat", puis en 1955 le fameux "Mary Lou" qui deviendra un hit en 1959 grâce à une reprise de Ronnie Hawkins. En 1956 Young Jessie enregistre "Hit, git and split". En 1957 il fera une session d'enregistrement avec les Coasters, en particulier pour les titres "Young blood" et "Searchin'". Atco publiera également à cette époque un titre solo, "Shuffle in the gravel", tandis que "Margie" parraîtra sur Atlantic.
Dans les années soixante, Young Jessie met sa carrière en veilleuse. Il réapparait en 1972 sur la label Stone Dog sous le nom de Obie Jessie and the Seeds of Freedom. Il continue par la suite une carrière jazz sous le nom de Obie Jessie et réalise deux albums "What happened to Jr." et "Here's to life".
