    Jimmy Jam Talks Janet's 'When I Think of You'

    in All About Janet

    Posted

    On day four of our 1,000 Hot No. 1s video series, kicked off Dec. 1 with Kelly Clarkson, we chat with producer Jimmy Jam about helming Janet Jackson's No. 1 hit, "When I Think of You," and how Janet's brothers helped him realize the potential of the single (video below).

    When putting together Jackson's third album, "Control," Jimmy Jam foresaw the groundbreaking pop elements of songs of "Nasty" and "What Have You Done For Me Lately" while thinking of "When I Think of You" as a lesser track on the album. When he played the album for Janet's brothers, however, they all thought that "Think" was the breakout hit from the disc. "'When I Think of You' got all the way to No. 1, so they were absolutely right," says the producer. "They're the Jacksons for a reason -- they know."
