GRAMMY Rewind: Watch Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Win Their First GRAMMY With Swag In 1987

For the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, watch superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis win their first GRAMMY Award, for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical), at the 29th GRAMMY Awards in 1987 with swag, humor and grace—and full heads of hair

GRAMMYs/Sep 3, 2021 - 11:21 pm

Back in 1985, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis helped a then-20-year-old Janet Jackson take control of her creative vision and music at their Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis.

The resulting, aptly titled Control, her third album, would drop in 1986 and earn Jackson, Jam and Lewis their first GRAMMY nominations at the 29th GRAMMY Awards the following year. The powerful project also spawned her first hits and memorable classics including "Control," "Nasty," "When I Think Of You," and "What Have You Done For Me Lately," the latter of which would receive a GRAMMY nomination for Best R&B Song that same year.

In the same GRAMMY run, Control landed a GRAMMY nod for Album Of The Year and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female and played a major role in Jam & Lewis winning the GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).

Control helped establish an unstoppable bond between the artist and producers, too: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis would go on to collaborate on all of Jackson's albums, except Discipline (2008).

In the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, watch superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis win their first GRAMMY Award with swag, humor and grace—and full heads of hair.

GRAMMY Rewind: Christina Aguilera Celebrates Her Latin Heritage After Winning Her First Latin GRAMMY In 20 Years

In May 2022, Christina Aguilera made a stunning return to Latin music with ‘Aguilera.’ Six months later, she won her second Latin GRAMMY — and she made sure to thank everyone who was part of the journey.

GRAMMYs/Nov 17, 2023 - 06:01 pm

Last year, pop diva Christina Aguilera returned to her Ecuadorian roots with Aguilera, her first full Spanish-language album since Mi Reflejo (2000). By the end of the year, she snagged multiple awards for the LP, including Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2022 Latin GRAMMY Awards.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, revisit the moment Aguilera took the stage to accept her gramophone for her self-titled project.

"This is so important to me, and it's been amazing to come back to this home," Aguilera shared before expressing gratitude to her collaborators and longtime supporters.

"The fans, the Fighters, thank you so much!" She squealed. "We've been on this journey for so long, so I couldn't thank you more."

It was quite an eventful night for Aguilera. She received seven nominations in total — including Album Of The Year and Record and Song Of The Year for "Pa Mis Muchachas" — and delivered a show-stopping performance of "Cuando Me Dé la Gana" with Christian Nodal.

GRAMMY Rewind: Marco Antonio Solís Offers Encouragement For Aspiring Musicians During His Person Of The Year Acceptance Speech

Mexican hitmaker Marco Antonio Solís motivated young musicians to stay positive and trust the Creator during his Person Of The Year acceptance speech at the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs.

GRAMMYs/Nov 3, 2023 - 04:36 pm

After nearly 50 years in the industry, legendary Mexican musician and producer Marco Antonio Solís has established himself as one of the most iconic Latin artists in history – from spearheading one of the bestselling grupero bands, Los Bukis, to creating his own roster of solo hits.

As Manuel Abud, the CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, said of Solís in April 2022, "He continues to break down generational barriers through his poignant lyrics … and inspire greater acceptance and understanding." And seven months later, the icon was honored with the Person Of The Year award at the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs.

"My heart is filled with gratitude," Solís said in Spanish during his acceptance speech. "Gratitude is the heart's memory. I am grateful to everyone who is watching us out there on the television. To all those who have supported me in my career over so many years."

Before leaving the stage, Solís gave an uplifting message to aspiring musicians: "To all those who are dreaming of being here some day, a big hug and never lose courage, and above all, faith in our most loved Creator. You will be here some day. Thank you."

The 2023 Latin GRAMMYs will be held Thursday, Nov. 16, at the Conference and Exhibition Centre (FIBES) in Sevilla, Spain, the first-ever international show in Latin GRAMMY history. Tune in on Univision at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT).
