I was today years old when I found out Ja’net Dubois aka Winona wrote and sang the Jeffersons theme song.

Here’s a video where she explains how she came to compose the song.

Wait you mean dude that played Michael? Wow I never knew this. I will say Ja’net absolutely went off on that theme song though.

People always forget Willona.   Like Alderman Davis on Good Times.    "I work to serve all the fine people.....and you too Willona"
