Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis also co-written HER- “Damage” which is probably one of the best r&b songs I’ve heard in a min (maybe in years) They gotta be the only producers that can adapt into this new era of brining da old/timeless feel in r&b and make it a hit in this era
@DLK90zBaby3 жыл бұрын
Yeah “Damage” samples “Making Love In the Rain” which Jimmy and Terry wrote and produced in 1987. I was happy when i found out H.E.R. sampled it for “Damage” cuz the original track is such a great gem and H.E.R. did the sample justice. Probably is the best R&B song released this era.

Those brothers can bring her in to collaboratively chef up something original and electric.

So many life lessons on the importance of patience, listening with your higher self, and divine timing. The snowstorm story ... I never tire of hearing it... We go through life often wondering "why is is this happening TO me"... But these guys figured out that nothing happens to us .. but only FOR us. I wish I could have a drink with jam and Terry and just listen to them tell stories and unintentionally drop wisdom after wisdom. God bless them and anyone reading this 💯 they are divine art ...

Prince vs Michael? Yeah, that's tough. I love them both for different reasons. If I want to be entertained I go with Michael. He is the greatest entertainer I have ever seen. If I just want to listen and vibe to music it is Prince hands down. An unbelievable musician and underrated guitarist.

They are two very humble and gifted men . Saw them perform with the time back in the day and they were awesome. Feels like family to me and the way they talk about Prince (my favorite artist) makes him seem more human lol

Charla only knows the basic shit😂😂😂. I guarantee you when Yee brought up the Robert Palmer cover “didn’t mean to turn you on” or when they were talking about Human League he didn’t know what they talking about. Always say people really need to invest as much in people behind the music as the people in front.
