JAM & LEWIS SELL STUDIO:
Producers score $2.3 mil for Minneapolis bldg.
September 9, 2004
*An era has officially ended in Minneapolis. Veteran R&B production team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have sold their 18,000-square-foot recording facility in the Twin city for $2.3 million, according to Associated Press.
The deal closed September 1st, said Brian Fogelberg, who represented Jam and Lewis' Flyte Tyme Productions. The five-studio building has been on the market since the first part of the year. Jam and Lewis have moved their production business to Los Angeles
"We are very pleased with the results," Fogelberg said. "The Twin Cities is not like Los Angeles with a deep music industry, and we knew there was a very limited market for such a high-end facility."
Jam and Lewis are only second to Beatles producer George Martin in the number of produced #1 hits.
________________________________________________________
In collaboration with partner Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam emerged as one of the most successful producers and writers of the 1980s, his long history of pace-setting R&B, club and pop hits reaching its apex on a series of smash records for Janet Jackson. Born James Harris III in Minneapolis on June 6, 1959, he first met Lewis in high school, and together they formed Flyte Tyme, a popular Twin Cities band which in 1981 evolved into the Time, a group led by Prince protégé, Morris Day. Shortly after the release of the Time's Prince-produced eponymous debut LP, Jam and Lewis formed Flyte Time Productions. In March 1983, while touring with the Time in support of Prince, the duo took advantage of a short break in their schedule to fly to Atlanta to produce a handful of tracks for the S.O.S. Band's On the Rise LP. After a freak blizzard left Jam and Lewis stranded in Georgia and unable to make it to the next Time show, Prince dismissed them from the band; fortunately, their S.O.S. Band track "Just Be Good to Me" soon became a smash, and their career as producers was well on its way.
In quick succession, Jam and Lewis scored R&B hits for the likes of Gladys Knight, Patti Austin, Thelma Houston and Klymaxx, their signature sound -- lush yet sleek, street-smart yet urbane -- immediately coming into focus. In 1985 they began their collaboration with Jackson, who was at the time struggling to step out of the shadow of her famous musical family, most notably pop icon brother Michael. The album which resulted, 1986's chart-topping Control, made Jackson a superstar, its cutting-edge grooves yielding a string of mammoth hits including "What Have You Done for Me Lately," "Nasty," "When I Think of You," "The Pleasure Principle," "Let's Wait Awhile" and the title track. The breakthrough success of Control earned Jam and Lewis a Grammy Award as Producers of the Year, and they followed with the Human League's chart-topping comeback smash "Human"; hits for the Force M.D.'s ("Tender Love") and Herb Alpert ("Keep Your Eye on Me") were quickly forthcoming, and the duo even produced tracks for Pia Zadora.
In 1989, Jam and Lewis reunited with Jackson for Rhythm Nation 1814, which proved so successful that it even surpassed the sales of Control. Again, an onslaught of Top Ten hit singles followed, among them the number one triumphs "Miss You Much," "Escapade" and "Black Cat." From there the duo went on to work with New Edition, not only helming the group's 1989 LP Heart Break but also producing material for the 1990 solo debuts from members Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant. A year later Jam and Lewis founded Perspective, a label backed by A&M Records; its inaugural release, the Sounds of Blackness' The Evolution of Gospel, won a Grammy. For Lewis' wife Karyn White, they also produced 1991's Ritual of Love, which generated the chart-topping "Romantic." Jackson's Janet. Followed in 1993, debuting at the top of the charts on the strength of the number one hit "That's the Way Love Goes." Work for Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Mary J. Blige and Vanessa Williams followed before Jam and Lewis rejoined Janet Jackson for 1997's The Velvet Rope. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

______________________
A bit of a bio:
Twin Cities local music legend, James Samuel Harris, was born on April 23, 1927 in Chicago. The death of both his parents at the tender age of 3 left him and his younger sister orphans.
Intensifying his distress, Cornbreads legs were deformed. Cornbread was sent to Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota for over a year, where the doctors broke his legs and put them in casts to correct them. Hence, Cornbread received a late start in school. In spite of these difficulties, he did very well in his academics and credits his academic success to his physical incapacity. After getting out of the hospital, Cornbread’s existence continued to be chaotic. He and his younger sister were shuffled around from one foster home to another, until at the age of 11 or 12 his grandparents took him in.
Living with his grandparents his life became more stable. Cornbread got his first change at playing piano, but he did not take well to his lessons. At the time, he was much more interested in playing sports after school, but his grandparents insisted he learn enough to play in front of family.
His grandmother gave him money every week to pay for lessons. Cornbread attended two or three lessons, before he started spending the money on candy and handing the candy out to his buddies. He only got away with it for a couple of months before his grandparents caught him. When his grandmother noticed his piano playing was not progressing and called his school and there discovered that he had not been to a lesson in several weeks. He received quite a scolding, but said he was glad afterwards. He had confronted the consequences of his misconduct and was able to play sports like he wanted.
---------------------------------------------------
Cornbread returned to playing the piano in his late teens. A friend of his had a piano on the front porch. The piano was dreadfully out of tune, but from it he learned to play on any type of piano, in spite whether it was in tune or not. He started a band with friends and they call themselves the Swingmasters. They could play only a few songs and they broke up when Cornbread joined the service during World War II.
In the service, Cornbread played for his fellow soldiers during breaks from duty. It was then that he realized just how many people enjoyed listening to someone play music. To improve on his skills he went to Schmitt Music in downtown Minneapolis and purchased a chord book. The diversity of style and songs he was able to play enhanced tremendously. Cornbread then started a new Swingmasters and played in several other people’s bands.
In 1940’s, Cornbread started his own band and established a reputation on the local music scene. In those days, he was known as Huckleberry, a nickname he had picked up at the age of ten, when he went to camp wearing a straw hat and carrying his belongings in a shirt on a stick. This nickname stuck until he wrote the song “Cornbread” which became a crowd favorite.
One of his early career highlights was his collaboration with Augie Garcia in 1955 to record “Hi Ho Silver” the Twin Cities first rock and roll record. Since those early days, he has fronted many bands, and he has held the stage with many musicians, including Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and Archie Bleyer. He has played just about every venue in the Twin Cities, as well as places in Wisconsin, Iowa and Nevada.
Cornbread has won a various awards, including the Minnesota Black Music Award in 1998 and many community service awards for playing at benefits and retirement homes. To date, Cornbread has written over 50 songs.
With Cornbread’s affluent musical background, one may ask what music has influenced him and the answer he will reply is country music. It was country music that was played in the neighborhoods that he lived when he was young. He listened to Hank Williams, Gene Autry, Minnie Perle, Roy Rogers, Tom Mix and music from the Grand Ole Opry. It was at the end of high school, when Cornbread started listening to rhythm and blues music. Cornbread, has always said that the only real difference in the types of music is “flavoring”. “All musicians play the same chords, but they have a way of playing them that makes it sound different".
In time, Cornbread started to recognize blues incorporated in the elements of jazz, which launched his love for jazz. He cites Louis Jordan, Duke Ellington and Count Basie as some of his favorite jazz figures. While his playing became richer, he also started paying attention to vocalist like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, and Nat King Cole. Cornbread’s favorite pianist is Oscar Peterson.
But while he enjoys the music of all these people, Cornbread is quick to point out that he idolizes no one. He always says “that often the guy next door plays just as good or better than some of the people that have become famous. In spite of the many difficulties he has been through, Cornbread is full of life and always hopeful about the future.
