Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis sit with Chairman Mao for a Red Bull Music Academy lecture.

Love, love, LOVE Jimmy & Terry since WAY BACK in the day! I'm talkin' as far back as Klymaxx's "Wild Girls." Their talent, their "sound," their workmanship, contribution TO and place in American R&B music history. Super Producers, innovators, craftsmen and artists are just a FEW of the terms I would use to describe them. From Klymaxx to the S.O.S. Band to Change to The Human League to Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal to Janet Jackson and beYOND, this duo needs NO introduction. I am thoroughly enJOYING this lecture! Thanks 4 putting it up! It's BRILLIANT! <3

Just watched this - it's pretty wonderful.

They cleared up somemisconceptions liek that they were always going after hits or that J Dilla really produced Got Til It's Gone. They're both very down to earth and utterly entertaining. It's a shame that documentary that was made about them several years ago never came out.

Thanks for posting this ID! Probably one of my all time favorite producers. I could sit, listen and learn for hours from these guys.

holy two hours long! Im going to need a weekend to watch this one! Cant wait. Added to my favorites

Very interesting.

Wonderful.

i downloaded the audio for my daily commute to work ... good talk back...

Very informative. I still think Jimmy Jam is adorable.

It's interesting that they repeat the thing here that Jesse Johnson mentioned on his Facebook page that the hi-hats in 777-9311 were a preset programmed into the LM-1 by Dave Garabaldi of Tower Of Power, I've heard others cast doubt on that being the case here but it seems notable that Jam & Lewis seem to think it is. The mystery deepens...

It is such a specific answer that I now believe it.
