After releasing albums produced by Renee & Angela and Leon F Sylvers ( Janet Jackson), and her brother Marlon Jackson, Jesse Johnson, Giorgio Moroder & Pete Belotte (Dreamstreet) that failed, Joe Jackson was convinced that his daughter wasn't taking music seriously. Working with Bryon Loren, her labelmate Shanice Wilson's executive producer, and being a huge Prince fan, she wanted to work with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis instead. The rest is history.
Along with Terry Lewis ( & Monte Moir), Jimmy Jam proved to Janet Jackson that all she needed was the right producers behind her. They were the right ones.

Another one of the greatest at his craft and, along with Terry Lewis, pretty much made Janet Jackson's music career. She couldn't buy a hit, beforehand.
The Minneapolis Sound go hard.
