Legendary producer Jimmy Jam has opened up in a new video interview about what it was really like working with Michael and Janet Jackson on their iconic duet “Scream.”
According to Jimmy, the creative chemistry between the two was electric. Though Michael and Janet always shared love and respect in the studio, “Scream” brought out their playful sibling rivalry in the best possible way.
He recalls a moment when Janet called the song’s vibe before even hearing it, and how Michael pushed the production to new heights, determined to make every beat and vocal line perfect. That drive, mixed with Janet’s energy, helped create one of pop’s most unforgettable collaborations.
Jimmy Jam describes the Scream sessions as a rare window into genius, family, and pure artistic competition, capturing both the warmth and fire between two of music’s greatest icons.
