Jimmy didn't say anthing insulting about Prince, it was just a statement Joe Jackson made when he heard J&T were gonna produce Control. Goes to show, never judge a book by its cover. Just cause Jimmy and Terry learned a lot from Prince, don't mean they ARE Prince. They took that sound to a different level.

Jimmy & Terry and Prince buried that hatchet WAY LONG ago, where have you been??? Remember 1990? Thats when Graffiti Bridge came out and The Time's Pandamonium album, Prince gave Databank, Jerk out and Chocolate to them, as well as those Graffiti Bridge songs.


O.K., chill dude! I didn't know that JJ/TL was involved in Graffitti Bridge project.


they were in the movie

That's right. And from what I can remember, Terry Lewis was a terrible actor. Some of the guys in the Time sounded okay with the few lines that they were given (like Jimmy and Jesse), but some of the other guys...oh man...they should stick to just being musicians. (Terry & Monte, I'm talkin' to you!)

As a baseball fan, I found this really funny. At least the color scheme matches.

Apparently what he told Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis upon learning that they would produce "Control" album for Janet. Jimmy Jam made this statement on a documentary about Janet. I wonder why Jimmy had to say anything about Prince, even if Joe Jackson DID say that.

I know that at one point JJ/TL and Prince were at odds. Anyone know if JJ/TL made amends; or are they still on the outs?

[Funny thing is: I think a lot of her earlier stuff DID in fact sound like Prince.]


Its obvious Janet was a Prince fan. There is no way she would have gotten them to produce the entire album if she wasn't a fan of work that they had done with Prince. Joe just didn't like him and probably thought Prince would stop by and turn Janet out. Lol.

no doubt.

Janet wanted that Minneapolis sound, or else she wouldn't have wanted J&L as producers, and when you get to be an adult there's nothing a parent can do about it.


and I know for a fact that that burned joe jackson's ass like never before. He could control his sons, but not his daughter, and it probably almost killed him.

technically, Janet is a Prince protege, wouldnt u say?
Hell yeah she is, all of her albums have a prince sound 2 them. JJ/TL are diciples of prince/minneapolis sound. The fruit don't fall 2 far from the tree. Janet eve mentions her admiration 4 prince's raw funky sounds in the liner notes of DESIGN OF A DECADE, and Dallas Austin a guess producer on the new Dameta Jo album said that this is janet's dirtymind album.
U,ME,WE!....2FUNKY!

which joe jackson are you talking about?


You thought it was the english dude huh (I think "is he really going out with him" with Prince on the deep bass would be too tight)? I did too and I started getting upset and about to cross him off my list for dissing Prince.

Then I thought maybe Prince and Joe Jackson did a tune together and got excited!

Y'all dig up those old exposes...Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were trying to do their own thing and got back late and Prince said, "you're fired." Where Joe came in is anybody's guess. It's called publicity I guess.

They were bummed, but they did more to spread the Minneapolis sound (and now that I'm older I wonder if Prince didn't do that on purpose, cuz they needed to grow and expand as well) than Prince cuz of Janet trying to move away from the family.

Too funny that Michael named "his" boy Prince.

I so didn't need that reminder lol cuz seeing the New Power Generation video with Morris' bad acting was enough.

Heh. That's a good way to look at it. Janet digs the hell out of Prince's old stuff, and not just sonically either - thematically it's the wave she's been riding for a while now. biggrin

damn right....she was once asked on TRL if there was anyone she would camp out to see (if she werent rich and could go to any concert she wanted) without hesitation, she said Prince.


Boy, I bet that made Joe Jackson EXTREMELY happy!
