I was 17 when this song came out and every time it came on the radio my heart melted. Yes pop and r&b created some of the best music during this era straight through to the '90s. They learned from the best.
Welcome to the world of 'The Quiet Storm'. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were some awesome contributors to that sound (think of it as an R&B 'Yacht Rock' variant), as well as 'The Minneapolis Sound' of the 80s and 90s ushered in by Prince, The Time, and a select few other groups. They produced this for Herb Alpert (the 'A' of A&M Records) as well as having produced 'Control' for Janet Jackson who sings background on this song. The lead, Lisa Keith, is a staple background singer on many of Jam & Lewis' records. Now that you've found not only the Jam & Lewis mystique but also the Quiet Storm groove, go listen to 'Sunshine' by Alexander O'Neal and 'Can You Stand the Rain' by New Edition, both of which were produced by this super duo. Also high on this list are songs like 'No One's Gonna Love You', 'Weekend Girl', and 'Even When You Sleep' by the S.O.S. Band, also produced by J&L...
One correction, Prince didnt usher in the Minneapolis sound. That implies it existed before him, and he showed a spotlight on it. That inference is incorrect. Prince CREATED the Minneapolis Sound!
Ths is the music we had growing up in the 80s thanks a lot to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They were making hit after hit for artists. Herb Alpert was fortuante enough to benefit from their talents. Lisa Keith and Janet Jackson killed the vocals on this song. A masterpiece.
Herb is mainly a jazz musician. Some musicians feature other singers to sing on their songs. On this same album, Herb features Janet Jackson on lead vocals of "Diamonds:' Santana has used many singers on their songs. "just the two of us" by Grover Washington Jr features Bill Withers on lead vocals. Even Pink Floyd has hired other singers to sing lead like Clare Torry "The great gig in the sky" and Roy Harper "Have a cigar". The Alan Parsons Project has used many featured lead singers"
I see that so many of the young ppl who react to the oldies say the same thing - they are jealous of what we had. Just continue to enjoy and exploring “real talent “!
What. A. Vibe! It's going on my playlist, too! BTW, Herb is a superb trumpet player and has been making music for a long, long time. Love your reactions. Keep checking out old-school music.
Producing this track (and others on the album) was part of the price Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had to pay to work with Janet Jackson. Herb Alpert was the trumpet player (and owner of the record company. Janet was on at the time). The singers are Lisa Keith (verses) and Janet Jackson (chorus).
If you thought we were surprised when we saw Teena Marie after hearing her sing ! Wait till you see Lisa Keith! She looks like Suzanne Somers from Three's Company! She has a fabulous voice.
Herb Alpert is a trumpet players and one of the founders of A&M records. He is know for his early 60s recording as well. Check out “A Taste of Honey” from the mid 60s and “Rise” from the mid 80s, he also did a song with Janet Jackson “Diamonds”, in 1987.
The 80s and 90s had some of the best R&B,Rock and pop continuously!!! Hey Mama I am so grateful to be raised in those era's. I just turned 48 June 5th and now I have even a greater appreciation for those genres of music. Great video keep it up🤝🏾👌🏾
The same producers (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis) did SOS Band which I'm sure you'll love. Just be good to me, Tell me if you still care, No one's gonna love you (the way I do) and High hopes are some suggestions to start with.
This is another Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production. They also helped write Damage by HER and gave HER permission to use their track. You have to look into Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production and writing history, you will be amazed at the many many many hits they've made for artists.
Herb Alpert was actually half owner of the label that Janet was on at the time as well as being the trumpet player on the song. Lisa Keith on lead and Janet Jackson Background vocals. 🔥🔥🔥
Janet released Control on A&M records. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced this record. They are former members of The Time feat Morris Day, which was put on the map by their old school friend, Prince.
Always Love this song growing up in the 80's ..Big Up Lisa Keith & Janet Jackson singing vocals + Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Production!!! Herb Alpert was also the founder & president of A&M Records .. having hit songs in the 60's & coming back in the 80's & 90's with hit records!! This was sampled by rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for their big hit "Days of Our Livez" ..."Our Song" off the same album, One of all time favourite music videos ever!!!
Listen I am 44 years old and I had never heard this song. I thought I knew all the songs Janet has been on and I was shocked who sampled it because I knew those songs. I reacted exactly how you did. I ran the beginning back at least 20 times before I could move on. I immediately put it on my play list and can't stop singing it. Beyond sexy. It's a ehole vibe. Thank you for your video I knew I wasn't alone.
You probably know this already, but this is a song from a Herb Alpert album, which is why it's billed as his song. He's a legendary trumpet player and the A in A&M Records. The vocalists are Janet Jackson and Lisa Keith.
I understand your jealousy, I would b too, we were spoiled and didn’t know it back then, we had such an abundance of great artist, it’s sickening now that I reflect
Uh..I didn't know there was a remake of this. I just tried listening to that remake. I couldn't stand more than 30 seconds of it. I guess I'm old. I love this song....heh heh
According to the comments made on other channels who reacted to this song the singer is Janet Jackson. I think there maybe another female vocalist on this song.....
Banger from 1987...
Herb Alpert on trumpet
Lisa Keith on lead vocal
Janet Jackson on BG vocals
Lisa Keith, a career backround singer, is singing lead. Janet is singing backround.
Lisa sounds better then 95% of singers today.
Agreed @@slarsp2

H.E.R asked Jam and Lewis, the original songwriter/producers to work on her Damage song.
