Kadison dated Sarah Jessica Parker throughout the early 1990s, and it has been rumored that several songs on his debut album, Painted Desert Serenade, including the hit single "Jessie," were inspired by this relationship.
It peaked at #19 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and Filipino actor/singer Jericho Rosales recorded and released a version of it on his own 2009 album Change. Painted Desert Serenade went platinum in the US and Germany, and went multi-platinum in Australia and New Zealand.
