 Northwest Indiana News: nwitimes.com
Jam and Lewis also had a hand in Usher's new album, "Confessions," which sold an astounding 1.1 million copies its first week out, as well as Usher's last album, 2001's "8701," which sold more than 3 million copies.
Jam and Lewis are executive producers of Janet Jackson's new CD, "Damita Jo." It's the latest installment in a partnership with Jackson going back to her 1986 breakthrough album, "Control," which netted Jam and Lewis their first and -- despite numerous nominations since then -- only Grammy as producers of the year.
Jam calls Jackson "the ultimate muse." Her 18-year working relationship with Jam and Lewis has resulted in big-selling albums such as "Control" and "Rhythm Nation 1814" and a string of hit singles.

 Janet Jackson
It took until 1989 for a new album to surface.
The release date was pushed back several times as Jackson, along with Jam and Lewis, struggled to commit their ideas to record.
For her next album, Jackson was put in touch with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

 Janet Jackson
For a change, drum machines are used to create complex rhythm tracks rather than as a crutch (title track) and when Jam and Lewis tackle a pop dance track, they succeed with that too: "When I Think Of You" is featherlight but adorable.
The album's split fifty/fifty between horny dance anthems and horny slow jams, with the entries in each category virtually interchangeable: "Sexhibition," "Warmth," "Moist," ad nauseam.
Their first album together went straight to #1, and so has every album they've done since, which is an especially incredible achievement when you consider that she has about the thinnest, least expressive voice you ever heard.

 NJS4E: New Jack Swing & Urban Music by Andrew Knyte
Jam and Lewis were awarded their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and are considered the most successful production duo in contemporary music history.
Jam and Lewis had no problem with this since they had just produced N.E.’s “Helplessly In Love” record for the 1987 Dragnet Soundtrack.
In 1999, Jam and Lewis did some pop music production work on former ‘New Kid’ Jordan Knight’s solo debut, and in 2000 they also worked with Mariah Carey on her Rainbow album (“Thank God I Found You”).

 :: The Dan Kimpel Website :: @ dankimpel.com
In 1991, while Jackson's career was soaring into the pop stratosphere, Jam and Lewis founded Perspective Records and released gold albums by the magnificent contemporary gospel choir, Sounds of Blackness and signed an expansive roster including Mint Condition, Lo-Key, Solo and Ann Nesby.
As creators of over 100 gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums -- 16 Number One pop hits, 25 Number One RandB smashes, plus three Grammies with seven nominations -- Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are rightfully acknowledged as the most prolific hit makers in modern music history.
The Minneapolis, Minnesota natives, in collaboration with a slate of superlative artists, have redefined RandB and pop music by distilling the purest essence of its rhythmic soul and infusing it into luminous productions and equally stunning songs.

 After Grammy, Jam and Lewis go straight for Little Richard
On Tuesday, Jam and Lewis, the Edina-based hit-makers, picked up a Grammy for best R&B song at Radio City Music Hall.
Would Jam and Lewis consider doing an album with him?
The Grammy guidelines were changed two years ago to avoid honoring the rediscovery of a song that was once a hit as opposed to recognizing an obscure song written years ago.

 JIMMY JAM EXCLUSIVE
As The Time’s debut album was bubbling on the charts, Jam and Lewis had a little side hustle going with their new freelance production outfit, Flyte Time Productions.
In 1990, Jam and Lewis founded Perspective Records, distributed by A&M, and spearheaded its inaugural release Sounds of Blackness.
Unwilling to tolerate insubordination, Prince fired Jam and Lewis – but their track for the S.O.S. Band, “Just Be Good To Me,” exploded on the charts.

Jam and Lewis have produced more No. 1 hits than anyone except Beatles producer George Martin.
Since February 2003, they've rented space at Village Recorders, a legendary studio in Santa Monica, Calif., where they recorded Jackson's new CD, "Damita Jo." Meanwhile, construction continues on a new studio in Santa Monica called Flyte Tyme West, which is expected to open this summer.

"Whitney's been living a very happy married life and raising her daughter and is anxious to get back to music," Jam said.

While chatting about the project's status, Jam revealed to MTV News that they've completed about five or six tracks for the LP, some of which have been touched by Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes producer Rockwilder.
"We're about five or six songs in," Jam explained, "so that could be halfway done if we decide we like all the songs, or it could be just a little ways done if we decide [otherwise].

 NODESHA - THE NEW JANET - SAYS JAM&LEWIS
But the DJ'S were saying you heard it here first, remember we had her first" She's the NEW JANET, TAKING OVER
If image is 90% of the reason someone's records sell, se'll do fine.Her (slight) decline has everything to do with the Jam and Lewis relationship being stale IMO.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are also giving her the title "THE NEW JANET" She is meant to be their "brain child"

 Confessions
His great vocal range and high-pitched soul struts come out (especially on "Can U Handle It?") better than they ever have before, and he sounds extremely comfortable to be singing over the beats that the Neptunes, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Lil' Jon among others have provided him.
Actually, Usher has done more proving than confessing here.

The experts saw the acquisitions of Johnson, Alex Rodriguez and other marquee names as a strategy to keep nearly four million fans jamming Yankee Stadium annually, to keep the team winning and to keep YES ratings high.
Last May, the Goldman Sachs Group arranged lending worth $225 million to the Yankees to help finance losses, provide working capital and consolidate debt.
It may not be a coincidence that the addition of huge stars with enormous salaries has come since YES went on the air in 2002.
