Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Whose song about "nasty boys" won Favorite Soul/R&B Single at the American Music Awards in 1987?"
...Janet Jackson's single from her album "Control" peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 3 and reached No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs. "Nasty" would become one of Janet's signature songs. Jackson said it was a real incident that inspired the song. When walking from her hotel to the recording studio, groups of men would shout inappropriate comments at her. The song's signature line became a symbol against misogyny: "No, my first name ain't baby, it's Janet...Ms. Jackson if you're nasty." Janet wrote the song with the help of her producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Source: SongFacts. com
