They recently had an Adult R&B hit with Babyface. Click on the pic
As far as them getting hits on the pop Top 40 today, a lot of that is hip hop (in the US). Plus a few others like Maroon 5, BTS, Billie Eilish, & Bruno Mars. I don't think Jam & Lewis' sound is relevant to current mainstream artists. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I think they may have worked with HER and they produced Mariah’s latest single, so they’re still around | |

Every artist has their heyday and then,as they get older,they no longer get that same type of attention.The same thing happens to music producers.Remember just a few years ago when Pharrell was the hottest producer in the music biz? | |

They have been receiving a lot of positive press coverage for their album due this week. |

There's a story in the NY Times about them (and the new album) this morning. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

autographed version of the CD was up for preorder at NewburyComics, but very recently sold out. | |

They put on the Prince Tribute that Sheila E was 'House musician' for correct?
And performed as The Time for the Minneapolis tribute they put together with The Family, Sheila E and the Revolution
Didn't Janet Jackson get back with them for her last album/tour? | |

There´s a great article written by the knowledgeable Alex Petridis on them in The Guardian. Some Prince mentions, too. https://www.theguardian.c...6KQPpOYi2k . https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/jul/09/super-producers-jimmy-jam-and-terry-lewis-prince-sidelined-us?fbclid=IwAR0rmsDWYLvFnHltZ80F_-gXLXBsJWjegtkfC0a8qv5mlgrq16KQPpOYi2k [Edited 7/9/21 15:38pm] " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid.
