DYNAMIC DUO
In 1985, Smith, then 16, met DJ Jeff Townes, then 20, at a friend's party. The pair (in 1989) developed a stage act, performed at church functions and later at clubs as DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. In 1988, after three albums (two of them platinum), the now-defunct duo won the first-ever best rap performance Grammy for "Parents Just Don't Understand."
