Didn't Bernard Edwards produce that? Are you confusing it with the Cherrelle original?
At least eight or nine of the ten posts I've made in the last year have had something to do with Wally Badarou.

The Cherelle "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" thread has thrown me into an extravaganza of Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis appreciation. That and the fact that on the drive home last night, I was lucky enough to hear Janet Jackson's "Nasty" blaring out of a car on the highway. I had completely forgotten about Janet's stuff in the late 80's and how much I wanted to buy her albums back then but didn't do it because I guess it wasn't cool in my circle of friends...although I did buy Jody Watley's album from around the same time so I can't figure it out now. Anyway. I still love Human League's "Human" even though I know a lot of people hate that.
And watching Janet's old videos again on You Tube has just been the ultimate blast for me.
I want to hear more of the Jam/Lewis thing.
― Bimble, Monday, 4 June 2007 02:40 (seventeen years ago) link
Is there a Jam/Lewis production discography anywhere on the net?
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 4 June 2007 02:43 (seventeen years ago) link
That's what I'm wondering man. Please help my drunk ass out.

Aha!
Wikipedia is the fucking shit.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 4 June 2007 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link
I've heard maybe ten of those songs. And they're all by Janet Jackson.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 4 June 2007 02:54 (seventeen years ago) link
Thanks so much!!!!!!!! Fantastic!
Also just want to share this, though it's not a Jam/Lewis thing, it's obvious where the influence comes from...

I know the Spotify list isn't meant to be all-encompassing, but leaving out "Rub You the Right Way" seems glaring.

I just spent the past few days listening to Questlove's podcast interview with Jimmy Jam (from a few years back). It's almost 6 hours of podcast. Very educational.
I don't have a POX at the moment, but was just listening to New Edition's Heart Break album and If It Isn't Love jumped out at me like a total blast from the past. Loved that song at the time and just completely forgot about it for 3+ decades.

Sort of heading toward their "That's the Way Love Goes" vibe (which I learned from the epic Questlove podcast doesn't actually have any guitar, it's all played on keyboard, same with "If").

so obviously the state of Minnesota is going nuts for the Timberwolves right now and Jimmy Jam did an interview with our local sports talk station, as he's a Wolves super fan and was kind of like our Jack Nicholson always sitting courtside90% of it was basketball but at the end was the obligatory "so tell is about what you're working on now" question and he said that he's executive producing a documentary on Jam & Lewis/Flyte Tyme and also one on Gamble/Huff and Bell, both of which are pretty exciting to me
