Hey everybody, it's Robin Hilton with All Songs,

considered and today we've got another special episode

from our friends over at the It's Been a Minute podcast.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Janet Jackson's

control.

That album was her first real commercial hit

and looking back, it helped redefine all of pop music.

In the late 80s and 90s, Jackson was one of the biggest stars

of our time right up there with her brother Michael and Madonna.

And yet Jackson isn't always given her due.

In this episode from It's Been a Minute,

Hossam Sanders explores why that is,

how she made the album control and the incident.

The incident that lasted but a second

and changed the course of her career.

Again, here's Sam.

What is your first Janet Jackson memory?

It's a wild thing to ask me, my first Janet Jackson memory,

because Janet and I are like the same age.

Oh wow.

This is music journalist Danielle Smith.

It's a wonderful memory.
