Merry Christmas and me too they have hope feel good song's janet jackson alright/because of love/you want this and many more they also did sound's of blackness optimistic/soul holiday's..patti labelle right kinda lover!!! They are legend's!!!
Hands down JJ and TL will go down in history as the greatest producer team to ever live. For every 1000 songs you mention theirs another 1000 I didn't even know was them. They are truly theG.O.A.T!
This is how relationships work, not fighting who did more, who it belongs to!! It’s 50/50!! Thank you Jimmy & Terry for giving us nothing but Jams all these years!!
True legends. As much as I admire and love the music, I love the fact they have shown the world how two people that work a lifetime together and stay together.
Proof that friendship and business can flourish without drama towards one another. I'll always remember them for being the original members of the baddest band on the planet. My favorite, The Time as well as mega producers and song writers. They're down to earth personas gives you relatable vibes, which is why I admire as well respect even more. Props, Soul Brothers✊🏾.
The BEST of the BEST no matter what anyone has to say! These guys have shown and proved that we can be successful when/if we unite together to simply make things work!💥👍👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼
I didn't know Alexander until about 3 years ago. I don't know what rock I must have been living under but OMG!! I absolutely love him! I've worn out his albums. That is the sound I miss and discovering his legacy was like winning the lottery. Got me through the pandemic! No joke.
I'm a big fan of Prince's music I listen to Prince everyday. I'm also a big fan of Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis music and for years I did not know that I was probably listening to them music every day as well Because I did not know that they produced all those great artists till quite recently Thank you for the video it was very very informative motivational and soulful Very well presented material Thank you and God bless
These R&B LEGENDS epitomize what the Music Industry SHOULD BE!! NO RAPE!, NO DRUGGING PEOPLE!, NO SPIKED DRINKS!, NO SEXUAL FAVORS FOR A RECORD DEAL! AND NO DIDDY!!😠😠😠 THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE JIMMY& TERRY🙏⭐⭐💯👍👍💃💃😁😁
Jam & Terry are awesome musicians/ producers & their body of work is ridiculous! I've declared since I discovered their real talents on the S.O.S. bands "Tell Me If You Still Care", that this duo was a gift from God. Not to mention all of the Alexander O'Neal songs! Lol. It's incredible that Luther Vandross was fired by Roberta Flack & the rest is history, also.
PRINCE SEEN THE ANOINTING ON YOU JIMMY JAM THAT'S WHAT THAT MESS WAS ABOUT. YALL STILL HERE STAYING GROUNDED AND BLESSED. NOT ALL OVER THE PLACE LIKE OTHER ARTIST. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK THAT BOTH YOU GUYS ARE DOING GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
WAIT….WHAT?!?!😳 They produced Bad Times with Captain Rap???🤯 I remember when that song came out and one of my best friends love the shit out of this jam, and knew every word forwards and backwards!!!✊🏾💙
Great narrative. These two guys rose to absolute giants in the music industry. It is impossible to overlook their contribution to this whole era of electronic funk. Good job, Jam and Lewis!
@3:00- okaaaaaaay upward bound was the ish back in the day!! Goin to college on the weekend n middle school. Very transformative for kids who weren't the normal kids. In a good way.. great program .🎉❤
From the moment I first heard The SOS Band in the 80s, I fell in love with their music and style. I was, and probably still am, their biggest fan. I bought every hit song they wrote and completely lost my mind whenever I saw them on TV. I was mesmerized by their incredible talent. I owe much of my musical inspiration to these two geniuses, alongside Quincy Jones. It’s amazing to see them still looking great, writing hits, and doing 50/50. Congratulations to my heroes!
So proud of these guys they are my musical hero’s they are indirectly responsible for almost everything I know in music and music production when I heard what they did for Janet after her two album flops I followed them like they had a carrot on a stick from the Time to now they are the best and some of the nicest people shout out to Flyt Time, Prince, and Morris Day and especially Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam thanx for their excellent in the performing arts❤❤🫡
Prince didn't know they were producing songs for S.O.S. band until the album went platinum and their name was on the credits that's how they got caught and Prince fired Raphael Sadiiq and Tim from Tony,Tone,Toni when they were apart of Shelia E's band.
@@keithroberts4952 Yes Prince did he had just graduated high school and wasn't using the name Raphael he was going by his real name Ray Wiggins, Prince also fired Larry Graham's son they were all in Shelia E's band.
@@keithroberts4952 you read it wrong Prince fired Ray Wiggins aka Raphael Sadiik and Tim from TTT when they first started out with Shelia E after getting fired Ray and Tim joined his brothers Dewayne group TTT.
When I scrolled upon these fellas right here,thought I knew the story.I thought Prince gave them the name Time.I knew of a lot of there music that I pull out every once in a while but maybe a lot more as Im trying to do a little something something to put on social media and bring back oldschool. The youngins are loving oldschool music
The way Terry responded to Prince’s treatment of Jimmy, is what real friends, real human beings, should be like! I can’t roll with anyone who mistreats others for shallow reasons.
Her name is Karyn White! Correct that mistake. Its embaressing! She has sold over 1.6 million albums worldwide. This includes approximately 1.5 million in the United States and 100,000 in the United Kingdom. Respect the queen that she is!
St. Paul/Minneapolis always supported it's artists. From the free concerts Prince gave at the park in Minneapolis every summer to the jam sessions at 1st Avenue. I loved being able to hang out with them all growing up in St. Paul. Anybody remember the inside joke GAZOO??? Lol
Among the obvious mentioned artists they also have to include, Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill, Sounds Of Blackness, Mya, Mary J. Blige, Blu Cantrell, Usher, Cheryl Lynn, Barry White, Mel B., Color Me Badd, Karyn White, Babyface, Toni Braxton, The Spice Girls, Patti Labelle, Caron Wheeler, ......and the list goes on among artists!! Jam & Lewis are indeed Living Legends!! 🔥🔥🔥🎵🎶🎵🎶
No, Prince did not free them so they can be successful. Prince pretended to fire them as temporary punishment for breaking his rules. That's what it sounds like.
I’m Tha Biggest Janet Fan/Supporter…So This So Dope to Recognize Who Really Made Janet Jackson…Janet Jackson…Not Just Her Name but Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis…tazzy
Grew up still loving Good Music 🎵 60’s baby with the type of songs being sung one could relate to…… Today Music 🎵 is so S3XUAL: Filthy: Language yes you know if you Listen and watch Videos…. Bring back some Good Music 🎵….. Open the Doors 👏🏾
Jimmy jam and terry lewis you know whenever you hear a song from back in the day they produced it they have thier own sound and they have those feel good song's janet alright/because of love/you want this-sound's of blackness optimistic/soul holiday's and patti labelle right kind of lover!!! And much more...They are legend's!!!
Alexander O’Neal was going to be The Time leader singer but he made to many demands & wanted to much money so Prince gave it to Morris Day. The rest is history.
Ironically most of them came from musical parents... Jimmy & Terry... and Prince & Andre Cymone's Dad were bandmates... I love how it all unfolds to create some of the most iconic music of the 20th century 😊
Everyone start saying who’s the greatest producing team,the reality is they are all great but the greatest,that’s hard to say,you have Gamble and Huff,Nile Rodger’s and Bernard Edward,LA Reid and Babyface,Leon Sylvers,and of course Jam and Harris,one would have to look at the body of work
Thanks Skrapp. I tried iRig Stream Pro for Facebook live and I had my music coming into it. All was cool with my mic and my music going through the iRig until I tried to bring on a guest. The iRig would drop out and I had to go on with my iPhone only using its mic to pick up my voice and music going into Facebook.
I sure wish they could have reformed Flyte Tyme with Alexander and with some of the of the other former members that Prince had fired from his group like Andre Cymone ! I surely didn't know anything about the release of their own album until viewing this here documentary !
These are my two favorite producers on earth
Merry Christmas and me too they have hope feel good song's janet jackson alright/because of love/you want this and many more they also did sound's of blackness optimistic/soul holiday's..patti labelle right kinda lover!!! They are legend's!!!

When Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis wrote “Can You Stand The Rain” for New Edition they created timeless classic magic ✨🪄✨for me. Like wow 😭😭
That's why they are in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
Kings of The Worldwide Musical Map & Leaders of Songwriting/Production....

@@keithroberts4952 you read it wrong Prince fired Ray Wiggins aka Raphael Sadiik and Tim from TTT when they first started out with Shelia E after getting fired Ray and Tim joined his brothers Dewayne group TTT.
Jam and Lewis. My all time favorite producers. In hip hop? I'll go with Organized Noise...and yes I'm from the South. #Pcola
Legends. Great segment.

You'd be crazy to think Prince didn't get a cut from them after they were fired, using that "Minneapolis Sound."
They are my favs!!! U kno there music when it plays🎼🎶🎵🎙
What Time Is It… Their So Cool ❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️
Control was like nothing else in pop charts at that time. They got that industrial drum sound into the top 40th.
Cherelle and Alexander O'Neal were fire in the 80s
Thank you, such underrated artists!❤
The way Terry responded to Prince’s treatment of Jimmy, is what real friends, real human beings, should be like! I can’t roll with anyone who mistreats others for shallow reasons.
There’s Gotta be A Secret Jammin Sauce to Any Relationship,Between Successful Partner Ship,,,,,, But it Starts With A Smooth Portion Of Respect.
Tried but true....EVERRRERY disappointment is a blessing!
Miss these people good times
Her name is Karyn White! Correct that mistake. Its embaressing!
She has sold over 1.6 million albums worldwide.
This includes approximately 1.5 million in the United States and 100,000 in the United Kingdom.
Respect the queen that she is!
They share 50 50 in the credits but have 100% of Love & Respect For Each Other.
The Smooth Brothers.
1. Jimmy and Terry
2. L.A & Babyface
3. Gamble & Huff
Although Babyface is my favorite, all are legendary artists. 🙏🏽
Gamble and Huff 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers were another great producing duo.
i think your top 2 brought out the best in each other…they both share number one for me, lol

They are a vibe God made special for us❤
Simply Beautiful
The moment the Orator said, "Flat time" I knew I couldn''t continue. I can believe Stardust Daily didn't do their due deligence.
How do you leave out New Edition(Solos) Johnny Gill, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Bell Biv Dovoe. All Platinum Artist 💿
I love em, cuz they never said a bad word about Prince and still thank him for having learnt a lot from him. "Prince is in every song we produced"
They STILL look good ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They didnt play on the time records that’s all prince and sometimes morris day was on the drums
Excellent video. However one correction. Karyn White only has one child, her daughter Ashley Lewis-Pttman.
I also wish that she could pronounce Cherrelle’s name better😆
I just love you guys you rock
Control, Rhythm Nation, two of the best albums in music history.
Alexander O’Neal was going to be The Time leader singer but he made to many demands & wanted to much money so Prince gave it to Morris Day. The rest is history.
exactly! folk are talking bout Prince fired him because he was too dark…such rumors 😂😂😂
@@pharaohacura3618 Yeah I don't know where people got that one from.
Yes they wrote hits for lots of artist❤❤❤
Ironically most of them came from musical parents... Jimmy & Terry... and Prince & Andre Cymone's Dad were bandmates... I love how it all unfolds to create some of the most iconic music of the 20th century 😊
How many children were born with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Muzik Production? A Generation.
Jimmy & Terry, god bless you guys.
Thank you!! That is a beautiful video! ❤
As much as I love these stories, I wish they would learn the correct pronunciation of these artists' names.
Wow… I use to listen to radio scope every Sunday it use give all the music scope/gossip. I was hooked. At 11 years old.
Everyone start saying who’s the greatest producing team,the reality is they are all great but the greatest,that’s hard to say,you have Gamble and Huff,Nile Rodger’s and Bernard Edward,LA Reid and Babyface,Leon Sylvers,and of course Jam and Harris,one would have to look at the body of work
