Are you sure they produce the Mint Condition tracks? I know MC has ties but I thought they were self-produced. Could be wrong. Too many great songs to go through, but I think I'd have Human by the Human League, and Change of Heart by Change somewhere in my top 20...

These would be in my top 20;

Encore - Cheryl Lynn
Diamond - Herp Alpert
Making Love in the Rain - Herp Alpert
The Heat of Heat - Patti Austin
Everything I Miss At Home - Cherelle
All True Man - Alexander O'Neal
Innocent - Alexaner O'Neal
Never Knew Love Like This - Alexander O'Neal w/Cherelle
Rub you the Right Way - Johnny Gill

1. Feels so Right - Janet
2. Can You Stand the Rain - New Edition
3. Human - Human League
4. Truth Hurts - Usher
5. Boys to Men - New Editon
6. R&B Junkie - Janet
7. Love's Still Alright - Chante Moore
8. A Cute Sweet Love Addiction - Johnny Gill
9. Let's Get Together - Krush
10. Rizz's Interlude - Do What I Gotta Do - Ralph Tresvant
11. Sunshine - Alexander O'Neal
12. Fishnet - Morris Day
13. Tell Me - S.o.S Band
14. Come on Get Up - Janet
15. Empty - Janet
16. Thinkin' Bout Love - Karyn White
17. Lonely - Janet Jackson
18. Alright - Janet Jackson
19. N.E. Heartbreak - New Edition

Hands down the best produced J&T song is "What Is This Thing Called Love" by Alexander O'Neal...

beautiful beautiful production.

Look at the back of the first 3 MC albums and it will specifically say produced or executive produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

keep the list coming.
I didn't know Flyte time productions worked with New Edition, (Can you stand the rain is a classic!) Mint Condition, Boyz 2 men.

I forgot that they worked on the Herb Alpert album...that is how Janet was the featured singer on that jam "Making Love in The Rain".


I think if I was Tamar... I would have felt better by working with Flyte Time Productions than NPG productions....

These boys made some MAJOR hits for their clients.

Human - Human League
Can You Stand the Rain - New Edition
Tell Me - S.o.S Band
Diamond - Herp Alpert
Miss You Much-Janet Jackson
If You Were Here Tonight-Alexander O'Neal
I'm Still In Love With You-New Edition
Saturday love-Cherelle and Alexander
You Don't Have To Hurt No More-Mint Condition
