GRAMMY Rewind: Watch Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Win Their First GRAMMY With Swag In 1987

Facebook Twitter Email
For the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, watch superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis win their first GRAMMY Award, for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical), at the 29th GRAMMY Awards in 1987 with swag, humor and grace—and full heads of hair

Back in 1985, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis helped a then-20-year-old Janet Jackson take control of her creative vision and music at their Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis.

The resulting, aptly titled Control, her third album, would drop in 1986 and earn Jackson, Jam and Lewis their first GRAMMY nominations at the 29th GRAMMY Awards the following year. The powerful project also spawned her first hits and memorable classics including "Control," "Nasty," "When I Think Of You," and "What Have You Done For Me Lately," the latter of which would receive a GRAMMY nomination for Best R&B Song that same year.

In the same GRAMMY run, Control landed a GRAMMY nod for Album Of The Year and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female and played a major role in Jam & Lewis winning the GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).

Control helped establish an unstoppable bond between the artist and producers, too: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis would go on to collaborate on all of Jackson's albums, except Discipline (2008).

In the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, watch superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis win their first GRAMMY Award with swag, humor and grace—and full heads of hair.

For the latest episode of GRAMMY Rewind (watch in full below), witness six-time GRAMMY-winning pop/R&B queen Whitney Houston dazzle the 1987 GRAMMYs audience with a show-stopping rendition of "Greatest Love Of All."

Just 23 at the time, she looked glamourous in a cream sequin dress as she offered up her warm, angelic vocals and stage presence to the whole room.

The inspirational No. 1 hit was recorded for her 1985 self-titled debut album (which also went to No. 1) and was originally recorded by fellow GRAMMY-winning Arista artist George Benson in 1977.

The song, released as the seventh single from Whitney Houston, was nominated for Record Of The Year during the 29th GRAMMY Awards that year.

The prior year at the 1986 GRAMMYs, the vocal powerhouse earned her first golden gramophone, for "Saving All My Love For You" and, at the 30th GRAMMY Awards, she earned her second, for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)."

For the latest episode of GRAMMY Rewind (watch in full below), witness nine-time GRAMMY winner Mary J. Blige shine as she accepts her Best R&B Album win at the 49th GRAMMY Awards in 2007 for The Breakthrough. The award was presented by the Black Eyed Peas, including Fergie, who held Blige's clutch like any good girlfriend would.

"I want to thank God for this album, and this award for this album," the "Family Affair" artist said while holding back tears. She looked glamorous in a golden rhinestone encrusted gown and cascading diamond earrings to match.

"It has not only shown that I'm an artist, a musician and a writer, but it's also shown that I'm growing into a better human being. Tonight, we celebrate the better human being."

That evening, the "Real Love" singer was nominated for eight GRAMMYs and won three, with her classic slow jam "Be Without You" earning Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

The Breakthrough is her seventh studio album—and the first to win a GRAMMY—and was released in 2005. She won her very first GRAMMY with Method Man at the 38th GRAMMY Awards for their vibey 1995 collab, "I'll Be There For You / You're All I Need To Get By." She won her first solo GRAMMY for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 2003 for "He Think I Don't Know," from her GRAMMY-nominated fifth studio album, No More Drama.

There is a moment in every legend's life when the world begins to really witness the mastery of their artform. For B.B. King, there was no turning back from his fate to become the King of Blues after releasing "The Thrill Is Gone" in 1969. His reimaging of Roy Hawkins' jazzy 1951 R&B hit would remain one of his biggest songs—and the highest-charting, hitting No. 15 on the Hot 100.

At the 1971 GRAMMYs, the classic blues bop would also earn him his first of 15 career GRAMMY wins.
