Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Appreciation

[brownsugah]

They had/have some of the best song arrangements and chord progressions that I have heard in R&B. Definitely two of my favorite songwriters and producers of all time. I didn't see any threads made on them in the past, so here goes this thread.

In the 80s if LA/Babyface was the A side Jam and Lewis was most def the B sides. They was neck and neck in the 80s/90s. Heavy duty smokers in there arsenal

I agree. I love the analogy that you made with the bolded. LA and Babyface are legends too of course!

@Ghostwriter in here one-starring every thread I make and one starred a thread on the legends. Get him.

Maybe you should stop making threads.

Maybe you should stop making threads.

Maybe you should stop being up Lupe's ass crack.

You one-starred a thread on R&B legends. You gotta go.

They’re some bad ass musicians and composers but I always felt that Babyface was the stronger songwriter.

 

[brownsugah]

I could've made a thread on Babyface, but then again, it would been too predictable since he already gets a lot of respect imo.
