“I want to thank the people who gave us safe havens, that gave us a basement to work in, that listened to the noise before it became songs. That’s so important,” Terry Lewis said during his acceptance speech. “There’s so many people to thank I can stand up here all night,” he added.

“I want to thank my family because they sacrificed the most in this. I want to thank my kids,” Lewis said before naming his sons and daughters. The producer also expressed gratitude to his wife.

“I want to most thank my beautiful wife for giving me enough ground, enough rope, to do the work that I’ve got to do,” Lewis shared.

“It takes a lot to love the music because sometimes she don’t love you back. You’ve got to love her every day. She’s jealous. She don’t want you to do nothing else.”

Jimmy Jam also thanked his family. “I’m going to first thank my wife, Lisa, who’s been with me from so long back,” Jimmy shared. “The gift that Lisa gave me is what I like to call my greatest production, which is my kids – Tyler, Max, and Bella – because that’s what it’s all about.”

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are known for their many hit records, which include ‘Human’ and ‘The New Style.’ The producers have won many awards for their hard work and continue to influence the music industry. Stay tuned for more celebrity family news!
