I second the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis era. I'm on the Gen X/Millenial cusp and grew up in dance studios from age 3 until I graduated high school and the hold Janet Jackson, Mariah, Prince, and the like had on me and influenced my music tastes is undeniable. Rhythm Nation 1814 still lives rent free in my brain. I never really though about the why on R&B - so I appreciate this brain worm. π
