Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis took fans back to Prince s Paisley Park alongside Sounds of Blackness and Ann Nesby at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night. The duo introduced the group s moving performance of their iconic song, “Optimistic,” remotely from Minneapolis.
The performance kicked off with an epic tracking shot, showing some of the rooms, hallways and studios in Paisley Park, before Jam and Lewis introduced the performance from their hometown. [Minneapolis] is a place that musically has always represented change to the status quo, combining races, genders, uptown and downtown, to give the world harmonious grooves, Jam said. Thanks to the people of this city, and other peaceful participants, Minneapolis is in the midst of changing the status quo yet again.
