Class act

That was great music and talent by two great artist

Still is a good band

@@suresh4090Tell it!!!

They were at school together.

+Mark Fox and I would add Sheila E. They were together for years.

I agree and looks sincere too

+Danielle Rameau yes, he did

Very much agreed.

Absolutely!

How are they underrated??? Not.

They are not underrated. They are in the songwriters hall of fame. They have stars on Hollywood Boulevard. They have two studios. The world knows who they are. Bit still like your comment because I’m a big fan.

Underrated? 😂 for white folks perhaps 😂

+victornewman06 My first two CDs I purchased were Sign of the Times and the SOS Band's

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

@@user-nq8bi2ip5z not .my first 2 I'm probably a little older but I will still by right now

SOS Band are legends, I still love them

Great interview and excellent description of prince and all his talents

Yes. Janet Jackson owes Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis a fruit basket, AND A CHECK! That Minneapolis Sound catapulted her career!

@@alexfrazier6948 True

A testament to the incredible musical talent of Minneapolis.

@Isatu M: Janet Jackson was already a house hold name she was on the Jackson family variety show. Also, Good Times was watched by millions.

I Know Right 💰 💰!! It's Not Who Brought You Out!! It's What You Can Do On Your Own!! When Getting Let Go!! And Believe Me!! Jimmy & Terry Lewis Went Up ☝ When They Ran Into ( Mrs. Janet Jackson ) . aka Control.

He seems very straight forward with nothing to hide

I still play the entire album. Its a press play situation.

+mustafahajj and the later sands of times including the finest...

Mine........THE FINEST

cameo111 yes and Even When You Sleep

I know right? Jimmy says it almost in passing. As if real fans are not going to go, what?? U did that?? That's my jam!! Jimmy...

+LaCheleWallace The Guitar Solo in the middle of Lady Cab Driver is beyond this world!

+YnotNomis yes very raw kind of angry

yeah love that era

+LaCheleWallace A stone groove, my personal fave Prince track when I first heard it and still is today!! That track personifies the Minneapolis Sound to me, the chanking guitars, the bass and drums working in unison, the keyboard stabs, the unisex vocals.and +YnotNomis, that blistering guitar solo!!!!.....beyond comprehension!!! A fantastic jam and just so kool to hear the legendary Jimmy Jam say that it's his fave too. And don't get me started on the ass shakingly funktastic Let's Work......wow!!! :)

+YnotNomis Computer Blue solo I have fallen in love with again.

+Troy Woods With no will, I doubt it'll happen but we all can dream.

+spinalcrackerbox heck yeah it'll happen....his family members are gonna make lots of money, why would they be against that??

I doubt there is anyone else in the world better qualified for the job than Jam & Lewis! It would be a disaster if anyone but them landed the project!

Troy Woods agreed

Rose Pena I was talking about JJ & TL producing, not about whether we will see material from the vault being released or not.

Jimmy Jam told the true story about Prince. Jimmy Jam knew Prince very well. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produce Just be good to me by the S.O.S band. This is a true story. Thank you Jimmy Jam for the story.

That's an excellent idea to have them produce the unreleased stuff. I'm sure they would do it right!

Um, Prince has already produced his unreleased songs......nobody should mess with his work without his say so...and, nobody ever produced him. Prince wouldn't want that! His estate just needs to work with a label or digital media to release his work.

+OldskolFan umm... many reports are that there are hundreds of jam sessions that were recorded as is. They might need some tweaking and if so, Jam and Lewis would be next in line to the keepers of the Minneapolis sound. I have no problems with that, even if anyone else does.

The estate is being run by the Elvis Graceland people, so they may not allow Jimmy and Terry into the vault.

PlanetStorm I agree with you✍🏾👍🏽love Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis 😍💓

Yep Prince and Ernie Isley!!

Jason Benson yea, 'Summer Breeze' I never wouldve ventured into rock without Prince kicking it off. He made rock cool for everybody, then I find Pink Floyd, Queen, and realize what influenced Prince, a mix of classical, psych rock & funk, the basis of the whole 'Thriller' concept. A timeless formula, dark meets light. 'a hard funk bottom, with a soft light top' -Terry Lewis but so many musicians know the formula, still can't get on. my take behind the scenes of Rihanna, Bieber, Katy, etc. pop radio camps, even corporate gigs Ive had along the way, industry success has a lot to do with social rapport & charisma, the execs & artists must like you, more so than your product itself. but the geeks who know the product formula, learned it because we have low social rapport, we're the studio lab introverts. Small talk required to plug, burns my energy, its a real chore for me, I need a socialite manager to do my plugging, we all do. then again, even the prolific producers who have socialie gab too, like Max Martin, for all his heart, talent, plugs, credibility, formulas, leverage, productivity, he cracks maybe 1-2 songs per year onto billboard hot 100, same rarity with hollywood directors getting films passed into theaters, the stars & planets have to align, and the product pitched at the right time, for it to cut through, but building a fanbase online direct cuts a lot of old red tape politics, builds leverage & credibility too, where they judge you based on view counts more than sales, and plan to profit from the tour ticket sales. that's the new model..so, wish me luck. I want to leave a strong resume legacy of tunes here, like Prince and JimmyJam/Terry Lewis before I go.

Might wanna add Carlos Santana

Sir the Electric guitar was used in R&B pre the term Rock and Roll

This is the 1st time I've heard of Alanis and Prince together? More details please...

+Kuq Ku And we didn't see this kind of outpouring for Michael Jackson not even close.

+Ralph Costa r u for real bruh?

+Boris Minatchev I have to agree. I feel like the musician community always loved Prince. Ive never seen the variety of artists morn over the death of an artists like I've seen with Prince. The public morned more over MJ, but I think the musicians community is taking this one way harder.

+beardown2489 100% TRUE. Fans and as well as, if not more musicians on every level; this is different in terms of how hard this is to accept.

+CP Smith There will never be an other album called Thriller, just like there will never be an other album called Sign o the times..what I mean to say is: there is the King and there is the Prince...do not compare

Yes!!! This by far the MOST insightful, interesting, & well articulated interview from someone who TRULY knew him & knew him from childhood. So well done... so much new information I didn't know.

...also GREAT interviewers, who asked pertinent questions & got out of the way & let the audience be schooled.. thank you for this!

+Prince Mauhdi III don't watch stevie wonders interview when he's asked (stupidly) to sing or play any prince song...broke me up!

Ash White im off to find that. saw Stevie play 'fear cant put dreams to sleep' for the special olympics opening games, very deep & heavy heart.

+Ash White :/ Yeah terribly crass and opportunistic of the interviewer to go for that 'big TV moment' by trying to get Stevie to play something .. it was sickening really but the next morning Stevie actually did play some of Purple Rain in another interview on a strange instrument which I've never seen before and he said he's only been playing it for the last few years, having always wanted to play guitar himself. Anyway it's very beautiful you should check it out.

John Arundell thanks...ive watched its of tributes and dAngelos was beautiful and made me cry when he stalled. thanks for the stevie poke

Not with those two annoying ass squares doing the interview

He could have been in band but prince use Dr fink because he was white

+John Clark Prince in interviews said vault material was done ready to go.... Though there is some unfinished Time and Shelia E from what Terry says in this interview.

+John Clark OMG, so true! They're musical geniuses, who happen to be offspring of THEE musical genius!

+Ralph Costa alot of stuff is unfinished see Prince Arsenio hall interview.. not that they are not full songs but not mixed or works still in progress

ME TO

Yessssss..I hope so too because of all the other artists Prince has worked with in his very short lifetime and career i truly believe Prince had much more trust i Jimmy Jam to do the job and to do it not only well but on the highest level that only Prince himself could do.

@@brendacarter48 Ive heard Prince has enough music to release multiple albums a year for a 100 years

+TheyCallMe Viz I absolutely agree. I feel privileged to have lived to experience Prince and his music, whether recorded or live. Simply the Mozart of our time.

+huascar66 amen!!

***** once in a lifetime beautiful human being

THOUSANDS of songs... RESPECT.

Music is gone without Prince

No :/

+John Arundell No That's funny! Do you even know who James Harris III even is? You sound like a Rock dude, so I suppose Mutt Lange or Rick Rubin or Kevin Shirley something like that might work for you:)

dwightddddd :D

+Blackfender36 Shuggie composed Strawberry letter 23, which was a big hit for the Brothers Johnson

I didn't know MD had hip surgery either....very interesting. The Time ( the original group) feat. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, has 2 be, one of the baddest bands ever...and yes, one of my all time favorite songs by PRINCE is, LADY CAB DRIVER...

+Rashad Grade 7. Don't know if that's "middle school" or not. They said jr. high school.

rrr

Why is vault in quotes?

I agree

Leon bite prince sound

It jimmy jam groove n jam session too prince

Blouses won!

saddest days for sure

+frank mancuso yes

+Craig Nevermind A musical cavern just appeared in the world with his death.

@@fingersm i

U picked a great list!

+CaapriceTube Finally some appreciation for The Ladder! I never got why it was so underrated by critics, I think it's a beautiful song, especially the vocal harmonies at the end... also love all the other songs you named (and then some ;) )

ozzert Absolutley think its one of the standouts from the Around the World In a Day album.

+CaapriceTube All the critics love you in New York is great!

Al X Absolutely!!

+CaapriceTube Wow ! those are my favorite also.

That's one of my favorite songs!! You think you're special.....so do I..lol

Something in the Water is a creepy, claustrophobic, haunting, beautiful and highly underrated track. D O E S N O T C O M P U T E !

So you were there and is saying Jimmy Jam is lying??? Smdh
