THANK YOU so much for watching. Tune in each week for a new conversation and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a thing ❤🔥
This was GREATNESS!!! Super job Allison!!
❤🎉👍
She didn’t over talk. She let her guest speak… THIS is how you interview!
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! It means so much to me 💜
AGREED.TOO many other interviewers thinks it's okay to cut someone off while they're talking,it's not. It's pretty-RUDE.
YES!!!!
Professional!!!
Bingo!!!
You said it right
Exactly. People today don't know how to interview but this is excellent.
I see Jimmy Jam's name, I PRESS PLAY!😎
💯💯💯
Ditto 😂
Same here!
Never get tired of Jimmy talking about the chemistry between they and Janet.
I am so with you! I was hanging on to every word!
Part of history those guys are genuis
Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Janet, MJ, and Prince are the definition of music. What an incredible interview!!
Thank you so very much! I feel so grateful I had the opportunity to chat with this living legend!
@AllisonHagendorf It was amazing hearing all the back stories behind all of my favorite songs! I could feel the love and passion of music you have! Great taste in music and great energy! New subscriber:)
@@888visions This is the greatest compliment I could receive. Thank you so so much! Wonderful to connect!
AGREED.And all the people you named are icons of the music industry and we'll probably never this type of performers/talent ever again. Hopefully one day,tho. HOPEFULLY. RIP : Michael and Prince-both gone TOO soon.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e Completely agree! I'm there with you
THIS waa best Jimmy Jam Interview I've ever seen! You let him tell a whole story and didn't cut him off. I learned a lot.
This is the greatest compliment I could receive. Thank you so so much for being part of the show and taking the time to share this with me ❤️❤️❤️
@@AllisonHagendorfyou are gifted at this.
@@bigdawgg1994 Tamir, thank you so much for this beautiful compliment. It truly means so much.
Jimmy Jam, what a true living legend, he and Terry deserved all the flowers they are given ❤😊
💐 💐
New Jack Swing is New York’s , Teddy Riley
Correct Jam & Lewis extended far beyond genre!
Thanks!!!! You saved me from typing a chronology .. Simply stated.. Teddy "Lil Man" Riley is the CREATOR, founder and nurturer of the New Jack Swing!!!! Hands down!!! I'm disappointed with Jam for not correcting her!!
@@a.j.j7266
He did try to clean it up by saying “ I crowned Teddy Riley as the king of New Jack Swing” , the thing is you can’t crown the creator for his creation (well you could)
Even if Jam and Lewis started before TR they didn’t do ‘that’ sound/style, which I first heard in 1985 on the Show by Doug E Fresh & the Get Fresh Crew featuring MC Ricky D
Right! After hearing her say, "Jimmy Jam (who I respect immensely) was a pioneer of New Jack Swing",' she immediately lost credibility because the simplest of research/factfinding would have helped her avoid making that mistake. It also establishes whether you're serious or not about the subject matter. I'm sure MOST of her audience will not even give it a second thought until they arguing with someone at a trivia game! Then when they have to reveal their source, it'll be quite embarrassing! It could have all been avoided with a simple google search! LOL!!
Right? Control is absolutely not New Jack Swing.
Yes jimmy yes Terry yes Janet !!! They theee of them created pop and R&b masterpieces. Janet Jackson catalogue is crazy!! One of the best out there !!
You are so right!!!!
Jimmy Jam is Pure DOPENESS!!! Definitely saw Gods light in Him.
First time viewer of your podcast. I smiled and got emotional when Jimmy Jam said what Joni Mitchell reported, “Everyday someone comes up to me and says, ‘Joni Mitchell never lies.’
It's great to meet you, Chris. Thank you so much for sharing this. It's great to connect!
I like how she started talking with a bit of soul as she was listing off her favorite R&B singers.
😎❤️🙏🏼 Thank you for being part of
The show!!!
What an Incredible Interview with Jimmy Jam. Interviewer was awesome also. Nice relaxing studio they got there.
Thank you so so much!
Love Jimmy and Terry, their legacy of music writing and production stands the test of time as ground breaking innovators. Amazing body of work.
Incredible!!!
Wonderful interview. That's what you get when you are genuinely interested in the other person and love the music.
Thank you so much. I was soaking up every second. What a gift to chat with this wonderful human!
I am 47 soon to be 48. Love the Jackson's and Prince. Good music is good music. Jimmy Jam you are a legend. I am a producer and I am heavily inspired by you and so many other's from that time.
This was such an enjoyable interview. Jimmy is a great story teller and I still enjoy his work to this today. Genius!
janet’s brothers were right about ‘when I think of you’. that’s my favourite song of hers 💜
I could listen to Jimmy talk shop for hours and hours.
Special times those days for me too The Conroll album Rythem nation & velvet rope I saw every tour when she came to Michigan 💯🎼🎤❤️
As a proud Minnesotan, I loved every second of this! Jimmy is such a likable and humble human. Cheers, once again, on another amazing episode, Allison! 🎶❤️
This makes me SO happy!!!! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing
I'm an huge fan and musician of R&B Soul, Hip Hop, New Jack Swing etc... not a big "modern" rock & roll guy BUT I love these legends such as Jam & Lewis... I honestly never heard of Allison but the algorithms put this vid in my suggested vids and now I'm a fan... we all have our favorite genres but I always love & respect real musicians who have genuine diversity in their repertoire... keep up the great work my friend 💯😎
You seriously just made my day. More than you realize. THANK YOU!
@@AllisonHagendorf my pleasure... Thank you for interviewing this legend and actually being extremely knowledgeable about the guest instead of just getting a big name for views & subscribers... U are a legit & genuine fan... I love it & appreciate U beyond what I can explain in words 💯😎💝💝
I just saw JJ live in Toronto and this interview popped up on my feed. I’ve never heard of her until now. Excellent interview of Jimmy Jam, she did a wonderful job,I really like her. Just subscribe to her channel
"He was a nice guy".
Perhaps the pinnacle of success that should be the goal of every breathing living soul.
It costs you nothing. You build yourself up as you build up others.
Jimmy got it right.
It takes life experience and gained wisdom to be able to recognize and appreciate what he said.
I have always enjoyed Jimmy's interviews!
Yes to all of this!
What an incredible interview ❤🎉🎉. The interviewer gave Jimmy Jimmy Jam a chance to tell his story without any interruptions from the host. BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW EVER🔥🔥🔥👑😎🎶👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love Jimmy Jam's admiration for Prince!
💜
the only artist that really impressed him.
Knew him since middle school same music class together
@@kingsports1113 Lucky you
I got to say, his story is pretty good! He has tons of good experiences with well known musicians. Thank you for another Q&A Episode! And yay Laughs again from you, Allison! 👏😂
Thank you for dealing with my laugh. hahahaha!
Really great interview, thanks 4 having Jimmy come in , he is truly one of a kind.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for being part of it! He is a living legend ❤️
Jimmy your stories are so vivid. Love what you do musically always
I’m glad that he spoke on ‘the best things in life are free’. I’ve never heard him do that before. as someone who’s from the uk 🇬🇧 I can confirm that was her biggest hit over here. it’s also one of my favourites 💜however, it’s the house remixes that are popular (particularly the cj macintosh) and not the original new jack swing version.
It is one of my favorite songs ever so I had to ask!
@@AllisonHagendorf The biggest mystery is why did Janet and Luther or Luther and Janet not appear in the video? Was there some kind of unspoken disagreement they had? Ego? What's the likelihood that BOTH of them were too busy to appear in the video?
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT INTERVIEW. NEVER KNEW JIMMY JAM KNEW THE LEGENDARY PRINCE & ALSO ATTENDED THE SAME SCHOOL AS PRINCE . I WOULD LOVED TO SEE PICTURES OF PRINCE & JIMMY JAM AS STUDENTS IN JUNIOR HIGH & HIGH SCHOOL . MAYBE JIMMY JAM WILL SURPRISE US WITH A COUPLE OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHIC TREASURES . UNFORGETTABLE INTERVIEW !
Yeah you got to remember Jimmy was in the time with Morris day all of them are from Minnesota
Prince is my favorite artists ever. I grew up in Kyoto Japan when two jazz musicians for parents & Prince was always on repeat in my household. I was born 99 too so when i hear 1999 it's so personal to me. Prince is known for his amazing musicianship, dance moves, those iconic splits. He was an amazing drummer, pianist, keyboardist, bassist, guitarist, dancer, singer, engineer, producer, band leader, lyrcist, rapper, song writer. However Prince doesn't get the credit for how incredibly spiritual he was. Songs like "Question Of U" "The love we make" "New World" "Sign o the times" are such amazing examples of that but Prince's reverance for women was unmatched. I challenge any woman to hear "And God created Woman" or "Adore" & not be enpowered. Loved this interview so, so much. 🤗
Yes, he was an outstanding man!! He will always be my number one entertainer of all time. ❤
My musical hero!!!!! I looooove Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis so much🥹🩷🩷🩷!!!
Same!!!! Living legends!
Janet Jackson The 👑🪄 Best/Most Creative 🎨🔥💓🔥🎶💖 The 👑 is on🔥 Can't wait Her Next CD Come 's Out 🎶💖💓🔥🔥.
Great interview!!!!
Love the way you allowed Jimmy Jam tell his stories and Jam is such a class act.
I put this video in my Watch Later queue a week ago. Didnt know who Allison was but the algorithm thought I'd like it. Just got around to watching it tonight. I watched it all the way through. Took me back to my younger life. What a great interview. Thanks Allison, thanks Jimmy.
@@kprivate5112 and thank YOU for being part of it. Wonderful to connect with you 🥰
I wished that Jimmy and Terry could've produced an entire MJ album.
This was a great interview! When Jam and Lewis talk - I listen! They stand among the pantheon of my musical heroes. I wanted to follow in their footsteps, but clouds kept getting in my way. I had a very small home studio (a 12 track mixer, a drum machine, and a keyboard), but bills had to be paid. So, I sold my soul to pay the toll.
Thank you so much for being part of the show! XO
Enjoyed the interview love Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of course
I'm so glad. Thank you for being part of the show!
Hearing the how on the history of the classic, Brah this team (Janet, Jimmy & Terry) is the definition of music
This was a great interview and I really appreciate your approach and appreciation for Jimmy Jam and his artistry as a musician and producer! Kudos to you Allison ❤😊✊🏾!!!
@@adrianlyord5300 Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate your wonderful feedback ❤️🙏🏼
@@AllisonHagendorf you’re so welcome 😉 and keep the faith 🙏✌🏾✌🏾😎
Allison, you deserve this and as for James Harris III aka Jimmy Jam
I loved this bond him and Terry Lewis have with Janet.
Flyte Tyme 4ever.
@@jammck1399 Thank you so so much! What a beautiful compliment. Thank you!
54:06 wow, this man really just casually throws in that he also plays saxophone like it’s some kinda snack 😭😂😭
Hi Allison ! - Love Jimmy & Terry 👍 .. Their early work with SOS Band ( Just Be Good To Me ) & Human League ( Human ) is spectacular & I really liked his explanation of the legitimacy & often brilliance of sampling & the artists who appreciated their work being used in others vision. Awesome interview 😊 !
I love this comment so much!!! Thank you for sharing and being part of the show!
Janet Jackson The 🪄👑🔥💓🔥🎶 Genius She Rules 🌎 of musical Genius!.🎉
Wow, what an incredible person. He really lifted me up with his grace and gratitude. Such a beautiful, talented soul and respecter of people. Super impressive nice guy! Applause from beginning to end. 👏 😂 pure excellence from the interviewer... she was outstanding. ❤
Very well done. Jimmy & Terry r my favorite producers of all times. Janet is my queen. Mike is that dude, along with Prince.
Thank you for being part of the show! XO
Thank you Allison for sharing Sr Jimmy Jam talent man songs writer great guest 👍 👏 👌 🙌
Thank YOU for tuning in and being part of it!
I love the Jam & Lewis production duo. They surely are the heart of music and "stay warm for a long time." Any production team learns for them.
My favorite production duo ever. Absolutely just down to earth nice people. Jimmy and Terry inspire the world. They are also captivating story tellers. Awesome interview!!!
Jimmy Jam is always a great interview and this was no exception. Wonderful job Allison.
Fantastic interview. I can see in your face, your appreciation of Jimmy and Terry’s work. I am a super fan of Janet and love hearing Jimmy talk about creating music with her.
Jimmy is a great creative and storyteller.
- Joni Mitchell never lies-
This means so much to me. Thank you!
New Jack Swing for life, what a phenomenon in music/culture innovation.
Gr8 interview Allison, with a timeless legend with substance.
@@pongtrometer Thank you so much for sharing this with me 🥰🥰🥰
@@AllisonHagendorf thank you so much for highlighting New Jack Swing, it’s not given as much light to music history as it should be, we all know Teddy Riley is foundational to many, from his shear capacity of innovation…. That makes us have the freedom to really dig deep and enhance signature producers such as Jam & Lewis. … I mean what if What if Nine Inch Nails and Dr.Dre co-Produced Janet’s next Album 😜🤪 we have the richness of music vocabulary to do this , these hybrids of music we call mash ups today, is what many of us in sync with coming from the remix / sample culture, which spanned other arts, not just music.
So thank you Allison for honouring living legend JIMMY JAM, of Jam & Lewis . 🙏🏾 ps your intro for him was incredible.
some people (wanna!) sell their soul, and others like JAM & LEWIS have givin' us some of their soul with the music they made.
them guys are the ICONS.
and for sure they gotta be nice guys if he says so, there's no doubt. i think, eternal life can never be boring, when you imagine, you can listen to stories from nice guys & girls.
hope we/the nice ones will end up in paradise 1 day.
Excellent job, Allison. Impressive intimate knowledge of the Jam & Lewis cannon. Jimmy is the best, and it’s nice to see him in shape. ❤
@@jonleonguerrero Thank you so much for
The kind words. I truly appreciate it! ❤️😎
You’re a phenomenal interviewer. You could almost finish his sentences based on your knowledge of Jam & Lewis’s work. Your next interview should be QuestLove or Teddy Riley. Excellent! New subscriber alert 😊
It is so wonderful to connect with you. Thank you so much for being part of the show and for sharing this with me! I would LOVE to get QuestLove and Teddy Riley on. Stay tuned! XO
Thank you for this amazing interview! I wish you could interview Janet!
Me too!!!!!!
Great interview!! Jimmy is such an amazing person. His energy radiates such positivity. Love him. ❤
Thank you so much. I feel the same way about him. What a gem!
If’s Guitar rift is a KEYBOARD! This is why Jimmy is Jimmy !
I love that story!
GREAT INTERVIEW!!!
After hearing this , i' am a fan
Fascinating interview ….
I hope this won't turn into a big comment but I remember so vividly and tried to forget. In 1990, I was absolutely in love at that time. And one day, my sweetheart said to me gene, you have to see this. And she played Janet Jackson Rhythm nation DVD. I don't know what kind of expression on my face but I loved it. And after that my girlfriend didn't want me to see Janet's DVD again. I think because that day I fell in love with the songwriting and music production process. They was jammin. Rhythm Nation tour came to my town when my love let me go. I got in line at Ticket Masters to buy a front row seat to Janet's concert. I remembered my ex girlfriend got jealous with anything with janet. So I got all the way up to the ticket desk then got out of line. Then years later found out my ex went to a Janet's concert. But the good thing that came out of this is that I taught myself as much as I could and making tracks. I love it. Janet, Terry, Jimmy, Teddy, and Michael has inspired me so much that the same fire is raging inside of me still. Thank you.
Wow, Jimmy Jam, What a Blast that must have been. Terry & Himself are true Icons..... Great stories and how they got there. Very Humble. Thanks for having another Amazing Interview. Just saw Pink last night in Dublin.... Man she is such a Badass, & you walk, run, float out of the Stadium feeling Amazing. Hopefully you'll get her on your show, Loves & Hugs & Keep Rocking \m/
I am so with you! I would LOVE to have her on my show!
This is an amazing interview! Thank you so well done
Next time do Terry Lewis since we heard Jimmy Jam give his perspective the other side of the partnership ❤
I would love to!
This was wonderful, thank you!
Thank YOU!
🤘BANG!!..you did it again Allison..excellent interview mate..i'am like you..I love MJ Janet and Prince..and I always will..Prince was like a reborn Hendrix on guitar..MJ and his dancing was out of this world..and Janet kicked ass, that song Black Cat is a hard rock classic...Jimmy;s stories were unreal I loved this interview..YOU ROCK ALLISON🤘❤🔥🤘
These guys are so impactful as I see this interview thumb nail, I hear a song they produced called Encore 💯😎
Great interview!
I never get tired of these stories ❤
Same here!
Jimmy is such a sweet guy and so humble!! Excellent interview!!!
@@angelaridley6782 Thank you!!!
Great interview 👍
Him and Terry are the best to have ever been in the biz next to babyface. Iconic.
As a professional musician/keyboardist I have a "keys" channel (jax drumz on keyz) and commented on this vid from a musician standpoint... however I also run a fitness business & had 2 comment from this account and show Allison some love from the fitness side... showing off the guns at the beginning of the vid during the sponsor promo... suns out guns out LETS GOOOOOOOO baby 🤣🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💝💝😎😎😎😎
Jimmy Jam is also a icon thank god there are Goat's like him around that reminisce about how much fun we had back then they don't make music like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis musicians and entertainers like them anymore
Wow! What a priceless opportunity to hear the workings of genius!!
Wasn't looking for this video, but she's so cool & shows her love for R&B music. I subscribed.

Thank you so much for being part of the show! XO
@@AllisonHagendorf No thank YOU Alison you did great! As for music, maybe Baby Face would be a good interview. He’s contributed a lot to music as well and he seems to be a cool dude 😎
Just a thought. God bless and continue your great work
Good interview ❤ .. first time on this channel. I will be back for more .
It’s so great to meet you! Thank you so much for being part of the show - I truly appreciate it! 🥰
Amazing interview 🎉
Great interview indeed. Love these guys and for all they’ve done over the years pleasing us with great music. Jesse Johnson inclusive 🙌🏾💕👊🏾
Imagine michael jackson singing right in front of you....OF COURSE jimmy said it was the most incredibil studio moment he ever had! Prince is a good singer but michael is on his own league.
💯Michael’s aura and God given talent was off the charts. We’ll never see it again. 🙏
Dope interview👍👍👍
So Allison, you got me to subscribe with this interview. The first interview I saw on your platform was the Paul Stanley interview. KISS was the first concert I ever saw back in 1979 back in Long Island New York. The TIME and their song COOL back in the day is the song I did my first talent show too. Like you Allison I was a Dancer. I aimed to get in the music business after winning that talent show to Jimmy’s Band. So this was a treat. Thanks for the excellent interview. I love ROCK and all the genres most of it. So thanks. Nice way to start my weekend. I wish I had Tick Tock back then, because like you ,my dance act was setting up our own videos back then in the 80s when I started out in the business. But, I ended up becoming a recording artist and Performance coach. Dreams can come true. I didn’t become as famous like the guys I followed or inspired me. That wasn’t point. You have to do things in life which means something to you as an individual. Thanks Allison for this amazing interview.
This makes me so happy!!!! Thank you so much for being part of the show and for taking the time to share this with me!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have been following Jam&Lewis music and mission since the early eighties. The fact that Jam/Lewis is written anywhere on any cassette, record or CD I buy always means quality and happiness for me. I hope your contribution to music will last for many more years. Thank you.
Thank YOU for being part of
The show 🥰🙏🏼😎
I rememberber your name you were Big I just loved loved loved your story's this interview was super Happy & inspiring to me being
2 years younger than Micheal Growing up Music & Dace is Life I also enjoyed hearing your musical Dance history about Prince School Time Janet & about what it is like to have a True 50/50 partnership with your friend I think I am going to have to watch more about you & All those Good Time Music Vibrations ***Thank You Much*** for all you have done,,,,,lately🥰🥰🥰
Great Guest. Great Host
Wow what an awesome interview thanks for not talking over him like most of them do ask the question and answers it to great job ❤
@@allanc1894 Thank you so, so much! ❤️
Such a great interview. I thought his final answer would be that the best things in life are free. I love this interview. You allowed The Jammeister General to open up and actually chat. I'm subscribing as a result. Much love to you and everyone reading. Have a great day 🎉❤
