Tammy Lucas is not well known with the MJ fan community but she co-wrote ‘Joy’ for the ‘Blackstreet’ with Michael Jackson. She recently done an interview for YouKnowIGotSoul
Here the part of the interview regarding working with Michael:
[…] “Teddy was getting a lot of work and that was before Virginia Beach. Then we took a little break from each other and then he had the Michael Jackson thing. He called me onto that and we went down to LA and we met Michael Jackson and the engineer Mr. Swedien. We got a lot of open tracks. Teddy and Michael were working on his album and there were a million different tracks. They gave us a lot of open tracks. “Remember the Time” was one and “Joy” was another one. I’m not sure what the other one was, but I took the stuff back in my little cocoon. I wrote “Joy” and Bernard Belle wrote “Remember The Time”. We co-wrote those with Teddy and Michael Jackson. That’s something I’m really proud of. “Joy” didn’t make the “Dangerous” album and then Blackstreet recorded it years later and I think it was a number one song. I also won an ASCAP award for “Joy”. That was the highlight of my career. I loved the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson my whole life. He was one of the singers I studied as a child. To be able to meet him and I have a co-write with Michael Jackson, sometimes I can’t even believe it. I just love that whole thing. I’m always appreciative to Teddy for taking me down there as one of the writers.”
