Biography

James Samuel "Jimmy Jam" Harris III has a decades-old partnership with Terry Lewis, having both first found success in the Prince-formed-and-directed band The Time (originally Flyte Time) before going out on their own as producers for some of the biggest pop and R&B acts of the 80s and 90s, perhaps most notably Janet Jackson.
