Janet Jackson's hit song "When I Think of You" remains a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences with its infectious energy and catchy melody. Released in 1986 as part of her album "Control," the song marked a significant moment in Jackson's career, earning her a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The upbeat, feel-good track was co-written by Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis, who also served as the producers. This collaborative effort between the talented trio resulted in a pop and R&B fusion that resonated with a broad audience.

The production prowess of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, known for their innovative work in the music industry, played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of "When I Think of You." Their mastery in blending electronic and traditional instrumentation created a sonic landscape that defined the sound of the late '80s.

In a parallel musical realm, Rakim, a pioneer in hip-hop, released "Know the Ledge" as part of the soundtrack for the 1992 film "Juice." This track showcased Rakim's lyrical prowess and laid-back flow. As a solo artist and one-half of the influential duo Eric B. & Rakim, Rakim has left an indelible mark on the rap genre.

While "When I Think of You" and "Know the Ledge" belong to different genres, both songs stand as testament to the artistic brilliance of their creators, Janet Jackson and Rakim, respectively, showcasing their impact on the diverse landscape of music.
