Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to me are 2 of the most underrated music producers of our time. They produced so many great albums and records that it's unbelievable. I salute them both!!! I love stories like these.

They are not underrated. They are in the songwriters hall of fame. They have stars on Hollywood Boulevard. They have two studios. The world knows who they are. Bit still like your comment because I’m a big fan.

Hands down one of the best interviews in honor of Prince thus far. I love Jimmy Jam's honesty, respect and optimism for Prince's legacy; you can feel the love he has for him. And if anyone should have access to the vault it should be Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Sheila E. RIP Prince and thank you for many lifetimes of your music. Your essence is immortal.

The billboard article wasn't the reason he got fired. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were allowed to produce other bands but as long as it did not mess up with the schedule of The Time it was OK. The reason why they were fired is that they booked themselves outta town to play with the SOS Band, but there was a freak snowstorm and they couldn't get a flight back to play with the Time opening for Prince at a show. I guess the billboard story was easier and took less time to explain.

In my mind Dirty Mind and his self titled Prince album were his two best albums ever, but his best song was the one Jimmy Jam talked about the intro on his first album For You the vocals on that song are amazing and can't be touched by anyone.

They have to be done selectively. Prince picked the right artists for his songs so hopefully the next producer will do the same.

Lady Cab Driver is so very hip but it is also a jam and it is also a spontaneous gripe. The two host/journalists have never heard of it. I've always loved the song and the 1999 album. Now I know Jimmy Jam, of all people, agrees with me.

Dude the guy made 37 albums. Don't rip people who haven't heard every song. I've been a huge Prince fan for 15 years, but I haven't purchased every album. And I'm a huge music person. These people clearly aren't "music people"

Prince actually fired them because they missed a gig for him when their flight was cancelled due to bad weather from another state where they were working with the other act :/ so it's one thing to do some extra work on the side but when it interferes with Prince's program you're out.

They were in Atlanta Georgia producing the SOS band album and a freakish snow storm came and dumped a couple of inches of snow on Atlanta and Atlanta not really being equipped to handle a small snow storm like that couldn't clear the runways and their flights got cancelled and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis couldn't believe that they cancelled flights because of two inches of snow because they were from Minneapolis were two inches of snow ain't nothing so that's why they ended up missing the show and Prince fired them.

@Williams Twins Prince did not know they were "working out of the circle" until the Billboard magazine came out with them pictured with the SOS band. That was weeks or months later. When they missed the show, everyone thought they went to see some girls. Their pay was docked, they were still on the tour.

Please....now is the time to let people know who you guys are (icons of pop culture). BET is big on reunions, they won't mind ...just show up on stage and jam. Miss you guys.
