Lewis had been in the band [[Flyte Tyme (band)|Flyte Tyme]], which Harris joined late in its history and which [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] restructured as [[The Time (band)|the Time]] in 1981.<ref name="auto2"/> As members of the Time, they played instruments on all but one of the group's five albums ([[Ice Cream Castle]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/ice-cream-castle-mw0000192219/credits|title=Ice Cream Castle - The Time {{!}} Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=AllMusic|access-date=2018-08-17}}</ref>), including ''[[Condensate (album)|Condensate]]'' which the group recorded as [[the Original 7ven]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/467220/the-time-condensate-to-original-7ven-on-october-album|title=The Time 'Condensate' to Original 7ven on October Album|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2018-08-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/pandemonium-mw0000203698/credits|title=Pandemonium - The Time {{!}} Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=AllMusic|access-date=2018-08-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-time-mw0000196074/credits|title=The Time - The Time {{!}} Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=AllMusic|access-date=2018-08-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/what-time-is-it-mw0000192096/credits|title=What Time Is It? - The Time {{!}} Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=2018-08-17}}</ref>

In 1982, Jam and Lewis were introduced to music executive [[Dina Andrews|Dina R. Andrews]], who was then an employee of [[Dick Griffey]]'s [[SOLAR Records]], where they would be mentored by record producer [[Leon Sylvers III]].<ref name="auto2"/> The pair asked Andrews to manage them, and through her relationships, Andrews first introduced the duo to [[Clarence Avant]].<ref name="auto2"/>  They produced their first work for Avant for [[the S.O.S. Band]].<ref name="auto2"/>  Andrews set up Jam and Lewis's company Flyte Tyme Productions and shopped them to her music industry colleagues. Jam and Lewis went on to produce several other acts for Avant under Dina Andrews Management for the S.O.S. Band, [[Cherrelle]], [[Alexander O'Neal]] and [[Change (band)|Change]].<ref name="auto2"/> Additionally, Andrews shopped the duo to many of the executives and artists who used her services, such as Klymaxx, [[Cheryl Lynn]] ("Encore"), and executives such as A&M's John McClain ([[Janet Jackson]]).<ref name="auto3">{{cite news|last1=Bream|first1=Jon|title=POP MUSIC : The Rhythm 'n' Blues Brothers : Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are in tune with L.A. and New York music scenes--but keep churning out their hits from Minnesota|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-06-28-ca-2120-story.html|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=2015-02-08|date=June 28, 1992}}</ref>

The pair were fired by Prince after a freak Atlanta blizzard left them unable to make a tour date during which they were, unbeknown to Prince, producing music for [[the S.O.S.

The duo was noted for early use of the [[Roland TR-808]] [[drum machine]], which was used in most of its productions. After working with other artists such as Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal, Jam and Lewis were introduced to Janet Jackson and produced her breakthrough album ''[[Control (Janet Jackson album)|Control]]'' in 1986,<ref name="auto"/><ref name="auto4"/> for which the duo won a Grammy Award. Their collaboration on her next album, 1989's ''[[Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814|Rhythm Nation 1814]]'', proved even more successful as the album became one of the top-selling albums in history with four ''Billboard'' Hot 100 No. 1 hits. Their collaboration continued and remained highly successful, especially on the ''Billboard'' 200 No.1 albums ''[[Janet (album)|janet.]]'', ''[[The Velvet Rope]]'', ''[[All for You (Janet Jackson album)|All for You]]'' and ''[[Unbreakable (Janet Jackson album)|Unbreakable]]''.

In 1991, they founded a record label, [[Perspective Records]],<ref name="auto3"/><ref>{{cite news|last1=Bream|first1=Jon|title=Prince Can't Keep Up With These Label Kings|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-06-28-ca-2135-story.html|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=2015-02-08|date=June 28, 1992}}</ref> an [[A&M Records]] distributed label that has since been closed and then reactivated. Later that year, their newly minted label experienced success with the Minneapolis-based gospel/R&B group [[Sounds of Blackness]]. Their debut single, "[[Optimistic (Sounds of Blackness song)|Optimistic]]", served as a groundbreaking anthem stressing positivity and encouragement. The song served as a summer and fall anthem and began propelling Jam and Lewis' label. Other successes followed with Sounds of Blackness as well as releases from labelmates [[Mint Condition]], [[Lo-Key?]] and [[Solo (American band)|Solo]]. In 1992, Perspective released the [[Mo' Money (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] for the film ''[[Mo' Money]]'', which starred [[Damon Wayans]], [[Stacey Dash]] and [[Marlon Wayans]]. Executive produced by Jam and Lewis, the soundtrack featured songs by Mint Condition, [[Ralph Tresvant]] and [[Caron Wheeler]], as well as a duet by [[Janet Jackson]] and [[Luther Vandross]].

In 2003, Jam and Lewis moved their recording operations to [[Santa Monica, California]] naming it Flyte Tyme West, due to more opportunities for work and collaboration.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jones|first1=Sarah|title=Jam and Lewis Keep the Hits Coming at Flyte Tyme|url=https://www.mixonline.com/recording/cover-jam-and-lewis-keep-hits-coming-flyte-tyme-366021|website=mixonline.com|access-date=2020-02-13|date=Oct 1, 2008}}</ref> In 2006, they won a Grammy for Yolanda Adams' song "Be Blessed", from her 2005 album ''Day By Day''. In 2007, Jam and Lewis produced the two-time Grammy Award-winning CD ''Funk This'' for [[Chaka Khan]], which included the Award-winning R&B duet "Disrespectful", with [[Mary J. Blige]].

The production duo reunited with the Time at the 50th Grammy Awards on February 10, 2008, in a medley that included the artist [[Rihanna]], and featuring "[[Jungle Love (The Time song)|Jungle Love]]".  In June and July 2008, all of the original members of the Time ([[Morris Day]], Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, [[Jesse Johnson (musician)|Jesse Johnson]], [[Jerome Benton]], [[Jellybean Johnson]], and [[Monte Moir]]) reunited once again for a series of shows at the [[Flamingo Hotel]] and Casino in [[Las Vegas Strip|Las Vegas]].

In a career that has spanned more than four decades, Jam and Lewis have worked with a multitude of artists, including [[Lionel Richie]], [[Herb Alpert]], [[TLC (band)|TLC]], [[Sounds of Blackness]], [[Yolanda Adams]], [[Jordan Knight]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Aretha Franklin]], [[Boyz II Men]], [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]], [[Johnny Gill]], [[Patti LaBelle]], [[Mary J.
