"You Are Not Alone" was released
on August 15, 1995, as second lift-off from Jackson's
greatest hits compilation HIStory: Past, Present & Future,
Book I (1995). The R&B ballad was written by fellow American
singer / songwriter R.Kelly for Jackson in response to
difficult times in his own personal life. Kelly sent a demo
tape to Jackson, who liked the song and decided to produce
it with him in his Chicago studio. Jackson's interest in the
song was also linked to events in his personal life. "You
Are Not Alone" topped the hitlists in the United States,
United Kingdom, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
Austria, New Zealand, and Ireland. |
