#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #musicalinspirations #jimmyjamandterrylewis Before Chad & P, it was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. This iconic powerhouse duo are legends who play an influential role in defining the Minneapolis sound. With a total of five Grammy Awards, they have more than 100 ASCAP songwriting and publishing awards, have been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and last year were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for musical excellence by longtime musical collaborator Janet Jackson. They helped change the face of R&B and Pop and for that, Jam and Lewis deserve all the flowers. 🏆 We love you Jam and Lewis! 👀 What’s your favorite song written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis? 🗣️ Sound off!

So dig this!! i'm In LA for the pre-Grammys party we did last night at @laspalmasstudio movie studios in honor of the late great Linda Mensch and today just bumped into Legendary Jimmy Jam from Flyte Tyme, The Time, Janet Jackson, Mint Condition, and do not have enough space on Instagram to list every superstar he and Terry Lewis produced and made stars!! I do know he is a very nice guy and freaking cool as heck! I guess I'm on the right track being 100% independent (by choice) because I gave him my business card & told him I play blues and this superstar legendary producer said "I know exactly who you are my brother" I almost starting doing the cabbage patch dance and the moonwalk at the same damn time lol when he said that 🤟🏽🎸🤪🤣 🌚🚶♂️ #grammys #lalivemarriott #flytetyme #jimmyjam #kingsofrandb #janetjackson #thetime #mintcondition #terrylewis #boy2men #GeorgeMicheals #mariahcarey (at JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
