Uh we're gonna play some music, we're gonna play some videos, we're gonna tell some stories, and we're just gonna have a good time as we always do. Um for those of you who are in the purple circle, I'm sure you are aware of the uh purple rain house uh Airbnb that's on Snelling Avenue or Snelling Road, Snelling Avenue, Snelling Snelling Drive uh in Minneapolis. Uh they have converted that Purple Rain House uh that was purchased by Prince that was actually in the movie Purple Rain. They've converted it over to an Airbnb, and I'm just blown away um at the at the job that they that they've done. And I am looking forward to uh for the opportunity to hopefully one day stay there. Um but apparently somebody already has. Uh this video that I'm about to show was uh put up by uh Cassie27. Apparently she was fortunate enough to be one of the first ones to stay there. So let's take a look at how this Airbnb turned out. Those of you who don't know this particular house uh is in Minneapolis, it was featured in the movie Purple Rain. And just before Princess Passing, uh he purchased the house, which is now an Airbnb. So let's take a look right there and see what you're in for if you're interested in staying at this air purple Airbnb. Check this out.

SPEAKER_04 4:59

Take a look at that.

SPEAKER_10 6:09

Man, could you imagine staying there? You got artifacts around you, like everything purple related, French related, you wake up and you're in the actual house that was in the movie. Crazy, right? I can only imagine what the what the nightly rates would be, especially during peak time. Peak season. Um nice stuff, man. I really uh I'm really impressed. Really, really impressed. Anyway, that's all of the purple news that I have. Um nothing brewing right now. Still waiting to see what's gonna happen. Um in the upcoming months. If we're gonna get anything, if we're not, if we're gonna get the documentary, are we not? Is somebody else gonna pick it up, or they're not? Is it gonna go away? Is it gonna leak? You know. Curiosity. Anyway, tonight it's all about Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and a lot of the music that I'm gonna feature tonight is probably gonna take us Gen Xers back to high school. Like the majority of the the stuff that's on the playlist tonight is gonna take you back. I know it's gonna take me back. Every time I listen to this stuff, it definitely takes me back to the 80s, the high school days. And those of you who know the story of Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, how they became who they are, of course, everybody knows they were members of the original time. Jimmy Jam was the keyboard player for the time. Terry Lewis was the bass player. And as we all know, um they were booted from the time by Prince during the 1999 tour.

SPEAKER_02 8:18

Uh they were down in Atlanta uh producing the SOS band, and one of those crazy moments is where Atlanta gets a snowstorm. They got a snowstorm.

SPEAKER_10 8:35

And so Jim G and Terry Lewis they were snowed in while they were in Atlanta producing an ASOS band. Of course, they couldn't make a flight to join the band in Texas for the 1999 tour. And Prince basically had to fill in for the missing parts. He was backstage uh playing bass while Jerome for the first time was out on stage pretending to play the bass. But I have a little video clip of them telling the story from their own mouths. So just check this out, and you'll get a uh a clearer, better understanding of what exactly happened and how they became who they are. Here we go.

SPEAKER_19 9:32

Prince had told us we weren't allowed to produce any outside acts, but we had gotten the gig producing the SOS band in Atlanta. We got caught in a snowstorm down there and missed a gig in San Antonio with the time.

SPEAKER_17 9:44

And of course, Prince comes to meet before the show and says, Jellybean, where's your buddies?

SPEAKER_14 9:50

Prince himself helped cover the Times' missing bandmates playing bass behind the curtains on the side of the stage, as Jerome made his first appearance with an actual instrument out front.

SPEAKER_17 10:00

And so we got to the gig and everything. But last shows everybody's dead attention. You can feel that something's gonna happen after, you know, the tour's over.

SPEAKER_19 10:09

The tour ended, and maybe six weeks later, Terry gets a call from Prince, and Prince goes, Meet me at Sunset Sound at five o'clock. So when we got there, we walk into the room, it's Prince, Morris, Jesse, and then myself and Terry. So we sit down, and Prince just goes, I told you not to produce outside bands. And you guys produce the SOS band. So you're fired. I was like, okay. And I got up and walked out the room.

SPEAKER_17 10:43

And you know, the crazy thing about it is Morris's band, but Prince did the firing.

SPEAKER_19 10:48

I know after that meeting when we got fired, I I know that Morris like just shut down and just disappeared.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

That of course was the turning point of the whole band, and it must have been hard time for Morris, because at this point Prince controlled his life. I mean, imagine what it's like to realize one day that your success is based upon playing a role that Prince wrote for you, just as sure as if he were scripting a film.

SPEAKER_14 11:14

Not long after Prince fired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, they became big-time producers in their own right, working with artists like Janet Jackson. And Prince, well, he indeed scripted that film. He called it Purple Rain. The character Prince had created could not be bothered to pay attention to the shooting schedule.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

Morris was being very uncooperative during the making of Purple Rain. There were days where he just wouldn't show up. It's not that he couldn't, he just was being an asshole. And of course, Prince was having a fit. But he's trying to make a movie, so he's sending me. Go find Morris.

SPEAKER_10 11:52

So there you have it. Um the story from their own mouths on what really went down when they were terminated when they received the purple hoof.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Hoof.

SPEAKER_10 12:08

The purple boot. But anyway, I've heard in other interviews that basically the main reason behind that is because Prince really saw their potential and he actually let them go. Uh so they could spread their wings and fly. And fly they certainly did. They came very successful in their own right. Became the greatest uh producing duo probably of all time. Produced I looked at uh the body of their work the other day and I couldn't even finish checking it out because the their body of work is so so large, like I was probably at let's see, I was I was checking out like how many songs that Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis produced and it was beyond a hundred and fifty songs. I was still going, I was still scrolling through to see and I just kept scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, I was like, this is this is a lot because I was trying to form my playlist, right? And so I was picking from this list of like hundreds and hundreds hundreds of songs. Some songs I didn't even realize that they had produced. I mean they produced uh artists that we never even knew that they produced. Like some of the on on um one of the one of the um new kids on the block. Can't remember his name exactly. Uh one of those guys um Mariah Carey, Tony Basil, and some other people that I never even never even knew they'd produce.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Wow.

SPEAKER_10 14:07

But anyway, we're gonna kick it off tonight with uh a band we all know, specifically from the 80s. We're gonna take it back, you Gen Xers, we're gonna take it back to high school, and we're gonna kick it off with something like this. Produced by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis.

SPEAKER_08 16:51

Thanks for joining. Tonight is salute Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, legendary producers.

SPEAKER_10 17:08

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Human League. Human League. I'm only human. That's right. Anyway. Oh man, that takes me back.

SPEAKER_10 17:22

Takes me back to uh what year did that come out? I want to say 85, 86, something like that.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

Anyway, um as you all know, uh Jimmy Jam worked closely with with Alexander O'Neill.

SPEAKER_10 17:43

Alexander O'Neill was huge in the 80s, and uh those of you in the purple single uh the purple circle may know that Alexander O'Neill was originally chosen to be the lead singer of the time, and Morris Day was chosen to be the drummer for the time. But the story is that Alexander O'Neill was asking Prince for more money, and Prince said, Nope, you're out. Morris, you're the lead singer. And then so Prince brought in Jelly Bean as a drummer. And Morris was like, I don't know how to lead thing, I've never been a front man, I've always been a drummer. I don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_02 18:35

So Prince said, Morris, just put your hand in your pocket and be cool. Keep your hand in your pocket, be cool.

SPEAKER_10 18:45

That's all you gotta do.

SPEAKER_02 18:46

And so that's how Morris became uh lead singer of the time. And eventually uh Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis went to Minneapolis, found Alexander O'Neill, gave him a record deal, and this is what we got. Ladies and gentlemen, some of you guys out there, some of you guys out there might remember this song.

SPEAKER_11 19:20

And then again, some of you might not. Nevertheless, since here we'll sing it for you anyway.

SPEAKER_05 19:32

Oh, yes, ma'am.

SPEAKER_10 19:49

Let's take me back to high school. In high school. In high school, I drove my mother's uh 79 Toyota Corolla. And then for graduation my dad bought me a 77 Dawson B210. And I I put house speakers in the back in the back seat.

SPEAKER_11 21:48

How many of you people out there know what to do when the lights go out at night, that means that?

SPEAKER_10 21:52

And I was jamming this type stuff.

SPEAKER_11 21:55

Look it's funny you said me today. Some of us.

SPEAKER_08 22:01

Right.

SPEAKER_11 22:04

Not all of us mind you, but some of us.

SPEAKER_10 22:09

In high school. I think we all were a lot of us were heavy into the Minneapolis sound because it was so new.

SPEAKER_11 22:17

I mean so different.

SPEAKER_10 22:21

I mean first we had Prince. We had jumped off the shit. In King Vanity Six. In King Proges, Alexonio, Jesse, Sheila, Minneapolis Sound just took off wildfire.

SPEAKER_16 23:45

Oh wow. I know that he has like a little segment on social media.

SPEAKER_10 23:51

Um what is it calling it? You may know what you mean. Alright. Alexander O'Neill. I can imagine what it would have been like if Alexander O'Neill had in fact became the lead singer of the time. I can imagine what that would have been looked like. Show some video footage of uh Jimmy James and Terry Lewis in the studio in the creative process. This was this was back in the eighties. He was uh on a video show with Donnie Simpson, and Donnie Simpson was in the studio with them. Oh Joe. Ready for the World Jeez, I can't see this question. Ready for the World had that sound, yeah. Ready for the World had the Minneapolis sound. A lot of people were trying to imitate the Minneapolis sound. Ready for the World was one of the bands that were doing it with O Sheila and some of the other stuff. And then I don't know if you guys remember a group called um Dream Boy. Dream Boy had uh a couple albums out for a minute. Um let's see what was on the Dream Boy album. Um let's get back to the videos. I'm gonna show some footage of Jimmy Jam actually in the studio. And in this particular video, they're constructing the song Fishnet by Morris Day. And they're kind of dissecting the different sounds that they use to create this song. So let's check that out. Pretty amazing.

unknown 27:41

The hi-hat.

SPEAKER_10 27:43

Volume's kind of low on this one.

SPEAKER_18 27:47

Hopefully you can hear it.

unknown 27:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 27:52

Recognize that beat.

SPEAKER_18 27:54

What we call the room tracks. This makes things sound a little bit even a little bit bigger. Now we're gonna put in Terry Lewis's part as a bass. Now we grew.

SPEAKER_07 28:14

You guys hear that?

SPEAKER_15 28:18

Now we have a size bass on top of his right natural bass. Natural bass is that that's uh bass good talk, bass guitar. Good talk.

SPEAKER_18 28:34

Okay, now we groove, we got the groove going now. So now we're gonna add in some keyboards. You know, those are you know little melody lines. Recognize fishnet. How did you feel it out a thing like that? So basically that's all we're doing. Now, all the controls down here, if I want to turn the mix up, like if I wanna turn the snare drum up, I can just go like that.

SPEAKER_10 28:58

Alright, there you have it. Pretty quick clip. But anyway, since we're on the fishnet tip, let's dig out some fishnet produced by the one and only uh Cam and Lewis and dig it out with some fishnet. Here we go.

SPEAKER_11 29:19

Sing the song, y'all. You gotta help me out. Come on. Here we go, fellas. Say it like this. Black Penny Hood Go to the hose.

SPEAKER_06 29:51

Those of you who feel like calling in, saying hello, talking about the Jamin Lewis memory.

SPEAKER_10 30:02

Jamin Lewis track Facebook, YouTube, if you're watching, please don't slap me.

SPEAKER_16 30:34

I do not own the right to know this music. Just trying to put on the show. That's a loop.

SPEAKER_13 30:51

Always wanted what it's still like to be.

SPEAKER_10 33:49

Jimmy Jam Cherry Lewis tonight. Talk about your favorite Jimmy Jam Cherry Lewis track. Maybe it's not on the playlist, I can get an offer.

SPEAKER_05 35:09

Any heartbreak out on Stretchita Oh someone else.

SPEAKER_09 35:32

You're fortunate to watch your hand.

SPEAKER_10 37:02

Thanks to you who are joining tonight. Legendary producer Duo. Alright, let's keep it moving. One of the most successful recording artists produced by Xammon Lewis. Not everybody's feeling Janet Jackson right now. But you can't deny it.

SPEAKER_05 37:36

When they produce Janet, that's the I think Jamie Lewis actually produced her last album.

SPEAKER_10 38:06

Didn't do all that great, but it was it was still a good album. You definitely can hear uh their sound in it for sure. I think Jamma Lewis definitely transformed Janet and brought her into the Minneapolis circle and kind of created this Minneapolis type of uh persona for her. As you can see when they were behind her music, uh her personality and persona kinda changed for the better. I mean, remember how Nick and Miles she was before Jamie Lewis? She sort of became a Minneapolis artist under the lead of uh in the production of Jamie Lewis. Remember the control video? Jimmy Jan, Terry Bower, Jerome, Jelly Bean, they're a part of that video. They're in the car, with Janet throwing the chicken bone up on the hood of the car. Remember that? Adding a little comedy flavor to it. I'm James Al. Definitely put the Minneapolis flavor on the gym.

SPEAKER_07 40:41

For sure. You can definitely see it.

SPEAKER_06 40:50

Thanks for joining, Let's see.

SPEAKER_10 41:32

All right. Janet Jackson. Produced by Jamie Lewis. Anyway, I'm gonna throw up another video uh where Jamie Lewis They're actually talking about uh Princess Working Ethics when they were playing for the time. Which is real interesting to me. Uh there was a lesson learned a lot from Princess Working Ethics. Uh in this video he explains Jimmy Jim explains you know why Prince had such a high work ethic when it came to his work, his music, and he saw things in Jim and Lewis that they didn't see in themselves. I'm just gonna play that video and let them tell the story, and we'll come back.

SPEAKER_19 42:30

The work ethic story? It's funny, I could almost demonstrate it, maybe. Let's see. Let's see. Is this up? Okay, so this is not the right sound. But I'll I'll just show you something real quick. So we're just playing 777-9311, right? So let me just show you real quick. So here was my here is my lesson. So I'm at so I'm at rehearsal, and by the way, these are the wrong sounds. So we're playing the song, and Prince goes, I'm going like this, because all I needed to do on 777 was just do a bass line. And all I would do is that's all I would do. And we get done with the song, and Prince goes, Jimmy Jam, what are you doing with your right hand? I said, I'm not doing anything, Prince. I'm just um copying the bass line of the song. You should play the chords that Monty's playing. I said, Monty's already playing the chords, but you gotta play the chords because it makes it bigger. It should sound better than the record. That was the same. Better than the record. Okay, so now I'm playing. So now I'm So I'm thinking, okay, cool, now alright, I can do that. No worries. Jimmy Jam, what note are you singing on the chorus? I'm not singing a two part, Prince, it's like a three part harmony. Terry's got his, and you know, I think Jesse's singing, and Morris. It's that's it. Find a note and sing. It's gotta be bigger than the record. So now I'm saving. Alright, so I'm now I'm like, okay, cool. I can I can hit my note. I can play both my parts. I'm good. Jimmy Jam, how come you're not doing the choreography? Prince. I'm standing at a keyboard, man. I what choreography? Choreography is simple. You should be able to do the choreography. So now I'm like, now, literally, I'm literally sitting now, I'm up there playing. And now I'm trying to I'm trying to hit the little I'm trying to practice and practice and practice and practice. So the very next day, we come back to practice. So we come in. And we come in and we come. So my point is, so the point of the story is I'm now, not only can I do all of those things, I can take my hanky off, I can tip my hat, I can peek over my glasses, I can put my hand in my pocket when I'm not playing. And and the thing was, is that that taught me, it's like you can do a whole lot of stuff you don't even know you can do. But you need to work at it. And I thank Prince for that every single day because I never he saw something in me that I didn't see. He's like, why can't you do it? And I'm going, I can't do that, Prince. And it got to be a habit on on all of the songs, you know. We would always find whatever he told us to do, we'd always then reach for the next thing. And that was why Terry said he created Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02 46:01

Wow. Wow, wow, wow, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 46:07

He saw things and and people that they didn't see in themselves. And you know, when he uh terminated Jamie Lewis back in the eighties, he actually did those guys uh a huge favor. And uh they were able to spread their wings and fly and became the success that we all know them for. And I'm grateful, man. I mean I look back at it, I'm not complaining at all. Anyway, let's keep it moving with some music tonight. Those of you Gen Xers out there, I'm sure you remember this one.

I I was scrolling through and I didn't even finish scrolling, and I was probably at like 150. And the cursor was just gone and gone and gone. I'm like, wow, and then some of the artists that were in the list, like I mentioned, Jordan Knight, um they actually produced Babyface, who is another successful producer in his own right.

SPEAKER_02 53:25

And then I saw some artists like Usher. How many of you knew that this song was produced by Jamal?

SPEAKER_10 53:53

Surprise. This one doesn't really have any answers.

SPEAKER_09 54:25

SPEAKER_16 1:24:35

But it would be interesting to see Jam and Lewis produce a country artist who is to say that they haven't.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:47

I'm gonna have to go back and scroll through that list of hundreds and hundreds of tracks they produce and see if there are any country artists in there that they produce. I don't think I've seen one yet.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:59

But I would not be surprised.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:46

We've been rolling for about an hour and a half.
