GOSPEL SINGER WHO SOUNDS LIKE R KELLY MOVIE
Céline Dion in 1998 had scored her third #1 with the sweeping “ My Heart Will Go On” from the blockbuster movie Titanic. Kelly and Céline Dion were two different artists from different backgrounds, in late 1998 they were both coming off big hit soundtrack ballads. The easiest factor I can think of for the success of “I’m Your Angel” is the star power of both artists at the time. Due to this afterlife, I listen to “I’m Your Angel” and wonder what was it that made it such a big hit. Kelly backlash, no one brought up “I’m Your Angel.” It seems like the public in 1999 got amnesia from listening to the song.
GOSPEL SINGER WHO SOUNDS LIKE R KELLY TV
No one uses it in movie or TV soundtracks. The song has left absolutely no cultural footprint since its chart run. “I’m Your Angel” is the most extreme of the second kind. Songs that may have been big in their day but have since been largely forgotten from the cultural memory. The other are the more obscure footnotes. These are songs that continue to be played and be used in various media.
The songs that become so popular that they wind up representing for better or worse the era they were popular in. Kelly’s actual biggest Hot 100 hit, a sweet nothing ballad collaboration with Céline Dion that dominated the top spot through much of the holiday season in 1998 going into 1999. The interesting thing about this reckoning to me is the fact that no one seems to remember R. Kelly’s music and while I may have later recognized some of his songs as good, he wasn’t an artist that I gravitated towards. In that reckoning, many of us have been wondering what to do with the songs that we’ve enjoyed for so many years. Kelly and how we’ve been able to excuse his troubling behavior just because he’s a good artist who’s made some good tunes. Kelly launched a much overdue reckoning on R. Last year, the harrowing Lifetime documentary Surviving R. STAYED AT #1: 6 weeks (including 2 weeks in 1999) In Party Like It’s 1999, I’m marking my birthday June 25th by reviewing every Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit from my birth year 1999 along with other notable hits from the year.
