“Lost my Mind” by Jamie Hawkins is more of an obscure song than rare gem, but it’s a good listen for most who have overlooked it nonetheless. In fact, this is the only single that Jamie released, after he was signed to Elektra Records under Mona Scott’s Monami Entertainment imprint. His debut label ended up being shelved, and it’s hard to find more info after that.
What we also do know is that Jamie is actually the song of Gospel singers Walter Hawkins and Tramaine Hawkins. He’s also served as a musical director for many acts including Boyz II Men, and was a writer in the music industry, penning songs such as Donell Jones’ “You Know That I Love You”.
As an added bonus, you can also check out the remix that producer Scott Storch put together for the single “Lost my Mind”. The song and remix are dope, so it’s puzzling why we never got to hear more from Jamie Hawkins.
@YKIGS here’s an unknown fact.. I got him his deal. We met on the Boyz II Men tour and did a Pepsi and NFL project. I introduced him to Mona

Jamie Hawkins sang background vocals on Donell Jones’ ‘You Know That I Love You’ and ‘Still’
I knew that he wrote the song “You Know That I Love You” but didn’t realize he was on backgrounds. Thanks for the heads up!
Hi, i have two promo copies of his full cd – believe me when i say there are absolute killer jams on this rare unrelesed set.This cd has been exchanging hands for around $500 and is very very rare. One of the best r&b unreleased sets in my opinion and there are five killer tracks better than this song.
He is the son of Gospel music royalty Walter & Tramaine Hawkins. Jamie has written and produced for Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill and Destiny’s Child. He is now the pastor of his father’s church…The Late Bishop Walter Hawkins.
i have the album too there are some killer jams on there
