You go from the perfection of Prince and then work with the legends of perfection, a Jackson!!! So...go for it!!! Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis!!! Talent with a CAPITAL T!!!

[hopeclayburnsax]

The story of them just hanging with Janet before going into the writing phase shows their true genius in bringing out the best in the artists they work with. So happy for them to have their own project now.

These guys are amazing and wonderful. Such a great impact on music as a whole.

Thank you, Tamron, for doing this interview and honoring Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I feel the same way about them as you expressed. I am so grateful for their many contributions to the soundtrack of my life. They are geniuses and deserved to be "freed" by Prince. We would have missed out on so much had Prince not set them free.

HAD to subscribe after seeing this EPIC interview. Thank you Tamron for giving these legends the respect they deserve, and I totally agree. The world is so much better because of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis!!!

[RoseCrossfit]

I didn’t know they produced “Just Be Good to Me.” They are musical geniuses because they can cross genres. Ex: Their latest gospel work. It’s good to see them both.

These dudes drown their music in synths and I love that.

[ashleyhw]

Musical geniuses. 🎶 🎤 🎹 🕶 🎩 Great interview, Tamron. 👍🏽

[garybuechel]

L E G E N D S PERIOD.
music would not be the same without jam&lewis.
When does this album drop already.

[theknow]

I've dabble at writing music. The thing about music and how these guys keeping it real is that the process is fun. You start with nothing and end up with something. Be it good or bad and that's what make the journey fun. Try and write a song. It''s very intriguing.

[janetman]

I love Tamron she keeps it so real. Imagine how empty and shallow music would’ve been without a Jimmy and Terry in the mix of it all. These days most new music is so vulgar and classless with no morals. It’s like hello are babies and kids are growing up on trashy music and we wonder why they act so out of control.

[Ravenovah]

I wish i could work with them they are magical
