"We dont wanna be hot we wanna be warm for a long time" I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL.
That was such a "bar"!!! I felt that too!!!

When you talk about putting respect on names... this is where you start.
FACTS
If you live in Cleveland/Akron area, please vote Nina Turner for Congress! She is the real deal and is genuinely fighting for the people! If you know anybody in the area, hit them up. Early voting going on now, Election Day is Tuesday, August 3rd
Yes Indeed!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Especially considering most of the people posting here would have been conceived as a result of the songs they wrote. That's right, they are your real daddy's!
Supreme Facts
I stopped Terry at a New Edition concert in 2016 and thanked him for his gifts to my ears!! He was so gracious
This is one of the best interviews ever on BC!! TRUE LEGENDS RIGHT HERE.
I'm saying the same thing wow man someone need to get with deez guys and make a movie are a book
@@pipedreamism1 maybe a book bcuz i can't see any actors playing these brothers they haven't got a proudful bone in their body,they are genuine,humble and unselfish,they din't look at themselves as royalty they look at themselves as two regular dudes who live and breathe music.
You should check out the Full Force interview on BC those guys are iconic too
This interview felt like walking thru a museum. These gentlemen are the perfect blend of humility, self actualization and great experiences. The Breakfast Club trio asked all the right questions yet offered them the reign. Great job!
Wonderful interview! Extremely talented men...
Great take
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
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.
That makes so much sense now knowing this cause when I first heard it I said this sounds like a nostalgic old school record now I get it!
H.E.R is so dope
As Jim & Terry indicated however, H.E.R. and her team are perfectly capable of creating a completely original tune. I like Damage and it's got the energy R&B needs, but 2nd+ generation samples from acts who can do something else leave me cold. Those brothers can bring her in to collaboratively chef up something original and electric.
Legends! Janet, Jim and Terry are a force in music history.
FACTS.. The 3🐐🐐🐐.. PURE domination. Over 35 yrs together
HUGE!! 🎵🎶🎼🎶
Alexander O'Neil has more hits than Janet...so why sweating her. Janet's biggest album was her 1st and Prince wrote what have you done for me lately.
@@mansa1325 WRONG on EVERY LEVEL.. Janet’s “RHYTHM NATION”… HER 4th album.. WENT DIAMOND.. ( 10 million+ copies) and “ Control” , her 3rd album had initially sold 8 million copies.. Get some FACTS… And I LOVE Alexander O’Neal.. but.. FOH with that BS.. Name 20 ALEXANDER O’Neal songs, HITS AND CLASSICS…… didn’t think you could.. Some people like u just make RIDICULOUS comments for attention.. Well, you got it, now run along.. Happy Sunday.
@@Nurse305 AMEN!!!
Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness has truly been a blessing.
It was released before I was born but is just as timeless as ever.
Arguably one of the GOAT.
#PowerOfMusic
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Definitely one of their best creations!!!
They made this ? I was born in 1990 & the first time hearing this song was on House Party 2
Devastating Brothers wish we had a lot more like them in the music game we need to make it real and by us for us
I was about 5 when Sounds of blackness came out and for 31 years Optimistic has blessed my ears...this was nicknamed the new black national anthem.
Indeed!!
These two are confident in themselves and it sounds like they always were. Clean competition no hate, slander or foul play. That energy is what bought the two of them together as business partners and I gather friends.
Never worked with one up and coming Artists from Minnesota. Sukas. Fkk them punks respectfully
@@squarebiznesman4112 got damnmmnnn..lol
@@squarebiznesman4112 there was nothing Respectful about your comment 🤦🏾♂️
@@squarebiznesman4112 They didnt like your demo??? You BIG MAD
@@Nurse305 I worked with "The Time".. did production work with "The Sign"...they told you, they got a shot, young (out of the ghetto) #UpwardBound and Never returned the favor. We got Love and work Outside of the State. Never had a demo. Didnt need one. Im a Musician. Ill always have work.
The legends/Icons themselves. Give these 2 Kings their flowers NEOW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 From Janet to Usher to Mariah, They've helped shape the sound of that classic R&B sound we love and crave so much. And this shit over an hour too?? Yeah lemme get my snacks.....
Agree.👏🏿💯💐
They did the best man I can be song
The was a beautiful interview. I love when Jimmy said we had disagreements. If y'all argue one wins and the other lose which is very selfish to let your best friend lose to an argument and never resolve the disagreement. LOVE THE CONCEPT!!
I’ve always called them. The architects. Geniuses. They’ve worked with so many. We need a feel good Netflix documentary. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis!
True dat
I had to pause the interview to go back and listen to "Can You Stand The Rain" 😆 memories.
One of my favorite songs EVER
Why did I do the same thing lol
I thought it was just me😂😂😂 I did that with Saturday love
Sameeee!! Lol. This is wonderful
Did the same THING!! HAHAHA
Michael vs Prince….both great all time artists. If you’re a performer you’re going to say Mike. If you’re a musician you’ll say Prince. No wrong answers. RIP to both legends
Wrong. Us performers STILL say Prince
I always said mike is an entertainer Prince was an artist
@@dwaynebeamon5105 no… prince was a musician… Mike was an artist
@@marcusb.1482 ok how do you feel that ..let's talk
Prince was definitely a performer as well as artist. Literally gave you imagery along with the music as well as producing a shit ton of music forever.
NE HEARTBREAK. Is my favorite New Edition album. Jam and Lewis did there thing on that too. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Angela Yee is at her best when the legends and respectable artists come through. She does her research and always ask the right questions.
Well she isn't stupid.
Unlike Charlemagne at times 😔
Facts! She's awesome.
@@kensmechanicalaffair ooop
Those two men are legendary with in the black community and black excellence.💐👏🏿💯🙏🏿🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥
You go brother!
Yo, I’ve watched PLENTY of these interviews. But I have NEVER seen one that held my interest from start to finish like this; well, maybe the last Nipsey interview too. But this right here, I know some younger people won’t feel the importance, but these men are actual LEGENDS! Very well done!
@CraigBeasley I agree completely. They are the best. I never ever lose interest listening to them talk. And Yes, Nipsey interview kept me engaged from beginning to finish as well. Also, in addition just like Jam and Lewis with listening to Nipsey, I couldn't take my eyes off him.
Well stated, indeed!!!
Yea man i wish i could just run into them randomly somewhere and hopefully start up a deep conversation
You’ve missed a lot great interviews.
@@Awillii seen plenty, I just need substance to stay engaged at a high level. Entertainment and intellectual stimulation….
An hour wasn't enough for these two legends.
OMG I got chills when they mentioned their 2 most important tracks. Optimistic and Open My Heart are two of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS! Hands down. Optimistic is truly breathed on by God himself. Wow.
indeed!!!
Optimistic for me personally can turn your whole day around
this interview was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G I laughed, learned, remembered old memories, and cried, to understand Jam and Lewis is to understand music..the toothpicks never fell out, not once...if you were around then as a kid fire toothpicks were everything now kids killing themselves with fire chips lol Respect & Love...rip Mom
Word. I started choking up at the end of the interview. These brothers bring me so much joy.
The real blues brothers
ABSOLUTELY ❤
The Rhythm& Blues Brothers😎
This interview was mesmerizing! Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are musical Icons. Best interview by the Breakfast club in a long time. No stupid questions and they let the gentlemen talk!
Jam & Lewis are the best that ever did it, in my opinion. I mean, 4 decades of #1 hit songs? And yet, they are still so humble and down to earth. I love these brothers, as they are my musical heroes!
@@lseguy I agree! And even Jam & Lewis would agree with you, with Gamble & Huff being a close 2nd!
Incredible interview! 42 minutes in and don’t want it to end.
I feel the same way
@@sonjabethay2277 It’s too good
Yup ✊🏿🙏🏿
Exactly
Same here! Can't believe I waited to watch it
“Optimistic” and “Open Your Heart” are very powerful songs. Love Jam & Lewis
Listened to it and cried like a baby 😢
Absolutely agree with you!!
What artist did this ?
Interesting that Prince didn't like how the Industry controlled his music and artistry but yet he did the same thing to Morris Day, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and his girl groups! Love Prince but he didn't like "being controlled" but controlled everyone who came in his circle! Rip Prince💜 BEST INTERVIEW EVER!!!!!!
Love him as an artist but I think that was his karma.
Prince was a musical phenom/genius, but he had his flaws and demons. His upbringing wasn’t perfect. Purple Rain was semi-autobiographical.
Whatever occurs in our youth can shape us for life, even if our responses to negative incidents and tragedies are generally constructive.
He didn't HAVE a boss, he WAS the boss! Also, Prince didn't want to be EXPLOITED by the industry, bc that's what always winds up happening when labels are allowed creative control over an artist.
He created those groups and wrote all their music tho…
Stingy.
MAN. I’m 46 and all these songs were my childhood. This was one of the beat interviews of 2021! May god continue to bless these brothas! I sorta feel for this generation re: music.
I seen Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam i said HELL YEAH!!!! The legends in the house!!! I love SOS BAND
THAT CLEAN YO HOUSE MUSIC MAN. Thank y’all!!👏🏾👏🏾
And that band still got it too!

What an amazing amazing masterclass in pure humanness. I truly believe we are all part of a divine being simply living a human experience. These guys embody that ... A true class act. 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 ... We all have to power to be our own version of divine art.
Beautifully stated

The writing was amazing like “Storytelling @ it’s Finest”.
@@mommasitayoung148 Absolutely and well said!

This was probably one of my favorite BC interviews. So much history, they gave you so much inside scoop on iconic artists…they’re icons themselves. I would love to see a Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis movie or documentary. Salute to these LEGENDS we’re blessed to have them.
Man Optimistic is just one of those songs that will forever stand the test of time💯👏🏾
Sounds of Blackness
I actually cry to that song thinking about old days
"Optimistic" is a masterpiece. Black national anthem.
This was a GREAT!! Interview. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are true legends and genuine friends. Just knowing Jimmy Jam and Prince went to school together. Iconic producers.
This was beyond legendary. They have so much heat, so much history.
FYI JIMMY JAM has a 3-PART episode on QUEST LOVE's podcast QUESTLOVE SUPREME! CRAZY!
Ahhhhhh shit. Thanks for the FYI bro.
I’m so thankful you mentioned this. Like someone said in a previous comment, I feel like I’m walking through a museum of music history. They’ve produced some of my absolute favorite songs artists. I love Jam and Lewis! Legendary!
That was an excellent interview!!
This was THE BEST Breakfast Club Interview of ALL TIMES hands down! Jam and Lewis are LEGENDARY ICONS in music period. Salute to The Breakfast Club for these amazing questions.
It's crazy that Mary had heard the production for 'No More Drama', years before the album came out, and KNEW that was her song!
Their brotherhood is the take away for me. Why would I want (my brother) to lose? #Legends
Their
@@pandroidigital 😉
I need a best friend like that 💯
“Optimistic” is my favorite song of all time! It got me through a lot of tough times. Aside from that it’s just a great record! Sooo many timeless classics from these legends! I really appreciated this interview! Let’s continue to give flowers to our legends while they’re still here! Much love to Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis! ❤️
Prince was a musical genius. I wish you would have asked them where they where at when they heard Prince died and did they ever get real emotional like Morris and started crying. I cried so much when learning of Michael and Prince's passing 😭
This was AWESOME!!! As a true fan of music and a 52 year old woman I LOVE their contribution to my life!!! Keeping being GREAT FELLAS!!!
And near 60 for me
I could go on and on, naming situations, dates and people, who are connected to my memories, musically...but playing in the back of my life, is the music from these bruthas. It also needs to be mentioned, that they were just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which to most recording artists, is considerably bigger than a Grammy. These guys are legends.
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were actually the real inventors of New Jack Swing with that Janet Jackson Control. Teddy just perfected it.
Fact! They did, but they also incorporated that signature “ The Time” and “Minneapolis” sound in that Iconic album and Teddy, another 🐐.. took it to the next level and ran with it.
yeah but they used Princes sound, so basically Prince invented new jack swing? lol
@@DjIceCnS What prince song is new jack swing (tryna get songs in da playlist)
*Jimmy has a cool Podcast voice, man.*
Kinda sounds like Obama
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very. I don’t know his professional business outside of production, but he has left quite a bit of money on the table with that voice. The voiceover community would love him.
Let’s wait a while. Whew Chile that song is classic
That and funny how time flies!!!
@@stickman1373 yes 👍 to both of your comments 👏
@@stickman1373 reading your & @Sharon Da Costa comments made me start humming. 😊😊🤗
@@ariesqueen7493 that was the jam!
These are reflective of the times we grew up in. Specifically on the interview, they flipped all the pessimism to optimism in a blink of the eye. Media sensationalism is not needed here, we just need the stories in making the music. It was enough to engage me for over an hour and I watched it 3x already. Job well done, Jimmy, Terry & the breakfast club.
Thanks so much dear , if you don't mind i will like to get to know a true fan much better so drop your number in my email so i can text you and get to know you more better. realjimmyjam1@gmail.com
Man this was a BRILLIANT interview guys! I was born in 85 and grew up in the 90s, so I grew up to their music and they always been 2 of my favorite producers along with Babyface and Pharrell! These 2 guys are GENIUS'S & deserves all of the praise and recognition that they get!
Great interview. The production they did on The Velvet Rope is as close to perfection as you can get. It's like the musical version of the Sistine Chapel.
True!
Jimmy is so eloquent and articulate man. Love listening to these dudes speak. So much knowledge and musical history. ..
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was one of the best interviews all year! ❤️❤️ I absolutely love jimmy jam and Terry Lewis professionalism and work ethic. They gave a five star interview showing their brilliance and musical genius. They will for ever be iconic and black royalty of music/producing. Glad to see they have come out with there New album and looking for the album volume two. Great interview breakfast club it was refreshing to finally have someone from the music industry who can actually articulate words and not sound like they just woke up from a drunken weeds/barbiturate/narcotic slump
GAMBLE&HUFF VS. JAM&LEWIS LETS GET IT A CELEBRATION 🍾👏🏿
AMEN to that. That battle would be epic.
That's The Way Love Goes, my favorite song.
Their the reason I love Janet Jackson so much, also that Janet Unbreakable album is a classic I wish that album got promoted in a bigger way
Indeed
Agreed. It’s one of her best albums.
Jimmy jam said he went to junior high school with prince 😯, that’s a legendary story knowing prince when he was little , seems like Minneapolis is a small city and everyone knows each other because the when Morris day was on the breakfast club he talked about how he also grew up around the corner from prince when prince was little, Minneapolis have some legendary stories.
Terry seems like he isn't to fond of Prince. lol
@@kellyjones5509 Nah, Terry is what more people should be like.. Genuine. He’s a straight up no nonsense dude. Respect me and I will Respect you. He spoke CANDIDLY about Prince with no chaser, but he also said he loved the dude. He’s a REAL dude.
I'm from the Twin Cities area and while Minneapolis isn't a small town at all (guess it depends on what you compare it to), but back then the black community was small, black folks either lived on the South side, the North side or St Paul.
@@kellyjones5509 Actually Terry and Prince were really friends, Jam has always said how much Terry stilled talked to Prince before his passing.
“Jesse! Now, Jerome!” - What Have U Done For Me Lately? - JanetJackson 🥰🥰. I literally grew up listening to “Control”.
Me too!!
Why is the screen blank?
True and solid friendship that is so rare . Sad it can’t spread to people that need it so desperately . Music is a healer for some it’s definitely a divine art . Enjoy this interview from two very mature men .

Hands down if you’re a music freak you should listen to Questlove’s podcast. He goes into depth and asks those musical questions only an appreciative musician can ask.
Just finished listening to it! That podcast was so good!!!
Hell yeah, Quest is the best for getting legends on his show!!!
What a fantastic interview!
This should have lasted for an couple of hours. Jam and Lewis have so many stories and they are the most mellow legends around. I can listen to them talk all day.
“FUNNY HOW TIME FLIES” 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 thats not my time but that’s my shit. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Everything they did with Janet can't be touched.
As someone who had that album when it came out (yes I'm that old) good on you for appreciating that track.
@@randychampion184 everybody gets old bro lol
@@clockwork9825 so true!!!

Besides Envy ALWAYS NOT being in the moment and asking the WRONG damn questions, THIS WAS ONE BC'S GREATEST INTERVIEWS 💯
It's Envy being Envy!! Like that moment of silence when he asked about hip hop artists, then they had to tell him about NAS and Mary J.!!! Come on man! LMAO!!!
@@Skeezer66 I have no idea how he got that job. He sits there like a lump most of the time
Yolanda Adams, Open my heart got me through a very hard time in my life. I played it all day everyday and it was my mental therapy. They are 2 BEAUTIFUL humble BROTHERS
These stories about Prince and Michael Jackson are proof they are like Batman and Superman, or Vegeta and Goku
Talented beyond belief, but self centered and somewhat limited by ego
Wow! I started my day off, getting ready to work out. I saw this interview and time stopped! I watched the entire interview in one sitting. I LOVE JAM AND LEWIS! They are legends and have made such a huge contribution to music. When Jam said that "OPTIMISTIC" is his favorite, I got chills and my eyes teared up. That's how much I love and need music in my life. THANK YOU Jimmy and Terry! This was a great interview.

Man, when Jam and Lewis shook hands tears just start pouring down my face. I'm making a promise to myself. I'm not going to sit on my music anymore. I'm gonna work even harder.
Shout out to Upward Bound! If you don't know what impact that program had on our community and how important it was to expand the knowledge of our culture, please learn more about it!
Heartbreak was such a classic album...that was the top of the mountain for me for New Edition, and the tour was legendary
Prince threw the “Control” cd. 🤯🤯😂😂😂😂
Petty af loool
⚰️⚰️⚰️ They know why he flung that tape out the window 🤣🤣🤣
I swear that sounds like it could have been part of a Charlie murphy/😜 Dave chappelle story 😜
@@Agentunderfire Oh it happened.....it so fuckn happened 🤣🤣🤣
He did the song on the Nude tour. Rosie Gaines started singing it and Prince’s eyes got big and he said “who wrote that?!” 😂
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.
Envy has to ask the same question to every guest, ALWAYS!
Love the Michael Jackson & Prince stories.
Over an hour of NO cursing.
LEGENDARY GROUP from my time growing up
I love the calmness of these dudes and the partnership they established...that’s his success is achieved.
Optimistic is genius. It's in all my playlist. Such a beautiful, motivational, spiritual song
jimmy lost a great deal of weight.hope he’s ok we need our Legends with us🙏🏾
He been lost weight, years ago.he just probably decided to trim down
He's good right now...better health wise since he had the weight surgery...
I'm glad Jimmy has dropped the weight, he's been so heavy for so long, so I hope it was intentional for his health sake; what concerns me is Terry's weight, because he looks so much thinner I hope he isn't ill

the verzuz we need is Babyface and Jimmy & Terry Lewis 🐐🐐🐐
These 2 gentlemen right here helped to usher in a new phase of the music industry and changed the sound of music and black radio in the 80s. That influence is still felt to THIS DAY 🙂
FINALLY an interview real genius songwriters and producers. So tired of those mumble rappers
When I saw 1 hour and 14 minutes, I knew this was going to be a great interview. I'm a huge Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis fan, I thought I had heard every story, but they turned me on to some new ones
I appreciate Yee music knowledge.
She’s a true fan. It was shown. So was Charlamagne. They were so engaged. Charlamagne had sooo many questions for the 2 🐐🐐
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.
She knows her music. She’s not a joke. I can be her grandfather. One of the good things of the breakfast club is the different personalities. I don’t watch as often when Yee isn’t around. Yee has a strong understanding of how era’s of music are connected.
Clarence Avon doc is great.I watched it on Netflix and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I agree. I didn't know who he was until I watched it and it was really good
@@JWill951 yep.Me,either.
This was the best interview ever!! Their music has changed my life since I was a child and has gotten me through all the good and the bad! Thank you for blessing the world with your greatness!❤
I didn’t know they did Open Up My Heart with Yolanda Adams. That song is incredible. Great interview.
This interview was phenomenal, Jimmy & Terry are legendary pioneers major respect and love!
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are icons themselves. Their work speaks for itself. Just seeing them have an interview on The Breakfast Club for over an hour is great to see. You know gems will shared and great stories...facts or undeniable facts?
"Open my Heart," is the song I listen to when I'm going through stuff l, it never fails.
I'm speechless because my soul has been fed, my thoughts lifted and I have a huge smile on my face. I remember all of their incredible music and memories. I have not heard the album though. 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
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis is the reason why I am an aspiring Producer today and why I continue to chase my dream in becoming a producer these guys are my idols along with the Neptune’s and the fact that they approached every artist with giving them there own sound or tailoring a sound for them is the type of producer I’m striving to be this is by far my favorite Breakfast Club interview for the simple fact that I have so much love and respect for these brothers now only if I can find me a producing partner and create magic like they did and continue to do 💯
One of the best conversations I've heard on the breakfast club!!! 2 of the best to ever do it!!!
Jam x Lewis helped my girl Janet dominate the music industry and strip away the “Michael’s little sister.” narrative. Eternally grateful for them. 🙌🏾 PS “Optimistic” is my alarm clock notification. The perfect way to start each day.
I remember that Joe Jackson said to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis "Don't Make Her Sound Like Prince!😝".
The Human League was jammin and underrated ..shocked me when I found out the Flyte Tyme produced them LEGENDS
Facts could have been a vanity 6 song
This is a fantastic interview. I have been a fan since I saw them perform with The Time at Howard University in 1982. The break down of how songs came together are amazing for a music fan like me. Thank you for this.
