those are two classic albums but what Jimmy Jam and Terry produced 3 classic Janet Jackson albums on the same level with bobby brown and toni braxton -
BabyfaceNah, jj and tl are legends. But me personally, i ? with toni's and bobby's albums more. Then once u mention the work he did on the tlc albums and the soul food soundtrack etc, i definitely gotta roll with babyface. Not to mention his own projects.
-
BabyfaceThe work he did with Jon B was fire too. My favorite thing they did to me was Anytime, Anyplace

Jimmy Jam and Terry LewisJimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as they had so many classics and they shifted the direction of 80s and 90s R&B without question.

Both used 7th chords consistently and really comes down to listener preference.

BabyfaceI'mma roll with Face because ..
Not only is he a writer, producer and arranger he sings too
Plus the range of musicians/artistes he's worked with overshadow Jam & Lewis
I'm more in awe of Flyte Tyme's work with Janet than any other ? they've done and the fact they were percussionists for Prince in the early 80s ..
That Waiting To Exhale soundtrack where Face writes and produces for the biggest female soul/RnB singers in the game at that time was GOAT .. One of my all time favourite CDs
And 'Whip Appeal' >>> -

Jimmy Jam and Terry LewisJimmy Jam and Terry Lewis off the fact that they produced Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 album.
-
BabyfaceI grew up listening to that ? 's music all the time hence my bias.
My female siblings and cousins I lived with loved that ? 's music ..
But I got mad respect for Jam & Lewis though more especially for how they made Janet Jackson a superstar -

Jimmy Jam and Terry LewisJi,,y Jam and Terry Lewis also did a better of job of transitioning into the new R&B climate in the 2000's. They laced usher with some amazing tracks.
babyface fell off the scene in the 2000's.

He wrote for Tony Rich?? I remember thinking that ? was Babyface for the longest time smh. I like both but I have really grown quite fond of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis recently. Their production from the 80's would sound fresh now! I don't know if you can totally say that about Babyface. JJ and TL have a bunch of unappreciated classics too. I listen to that first Charrelle album faithfully and the work they did with the S.O.S Band.Black_Samson wrote: »does that make my post more or less accurate tho?
