Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are one of the greatest songwriting and producing duos in music history. Meeting in the same ’70s Minneapolis music scene that produced Prince, the pair formed the band Flyte Tyme, an outfit that would morph into one of the most storied funk groups of the era, the Time. By 1983 Jam and Lewis had started to pursue songwriting and producing, commencing a series of essential R&B singles for the likes of the S.O.S. Band, Cherrelle, Cheryl Lynn, Alexander O’Neal and others. In 1986 Jam and Lewis began their now legendary association with Janet Jackson, producing the Grammy-winning LP *Control*. Over three decades they have crafted classics for the likes of Force MDs, Sounds of Blackness, New Edition, Human League, George Michael, Usher and Mary J. Blige.
