Michael Joseph Jackson(August 29, 1958 – June
25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter and dancer. Dubbed the "King
of Pop", he is regarded as one of the
most significant cultural figures of the 20th century.
Over a four-decade career, his contributions to music, dance and fashion, along
with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture. Jackson
influenced artists across many music genres; through stage and video
performances, he popularized complicated dance moves such as the moonwalk, to
which he gave the name, as well as the robot.
He is the most awarded music artist in history.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, Jackson
made his professional debut in 1964 with his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5(later
known as the Jacksons). Jackson began his solo career in 1971 while at Motown Records. He
became a solo star with his 1979 album Off the Wall.
His music videos, including those for "Beat It",
"Billie Jean"
and "Thriller"
from his 1982 album Thriller, are
credited with breaking racial barriers and
transforming the medium into an artform and promotional tool. He helped propel
the success of MTV and continued
to innovate with videos for the albums Bad (1987), Dangerous(1991)
and HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (1995). Thriller became the best-selling
album of all time, while Bad was the first album
to produce five U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. (…)
"You Are Not Alone" is a song by
American singer Michael Jackson from his ninth studio album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I(1995).
It was released on
August 15, 1995, as the second single from the album.
An R&B ballad, "You Are Not Alone" was written by American singer
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. The music video,
which featured Jackson and his then-wife Lisa Marie Presley,
featured scenes of semi-nudity.
"You Are Not Alone" received
generally positive reviews and was the recipient of Grammy and American
Music Award nominations. It holds a Guinness
World Record as the first song to debut at number
one on the Billboard Hot 100, and was
certified platinum by the RIAA. It also topped the charts in
Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Scotland,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It was
re-released in 2006 as part of Jackson's box set Visionary:
The Video Singles, and re-entered at number 30 in
the UK Singles Chart.
"You
Are Not Alone" was Jackson's thirteenth and final number-one US single
during his lifetime. After his death in June
2009, Kelly paid tribute by including a version
of the song on his album Love Letter (2010). In 2011, a clip of the song was remixed with the Jackson
song "I Just Can't
Stop Loving You"; the final "Immortal
Version" was released on the Immortal album.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be?
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go?
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and
ask myself
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not
alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and
ask myself
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not
alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Whisper three words
and I'll come running
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
That you are not
alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
(You are not alone)
For I am here with you (I am here with you)
Though you're far away (Though you're far away)
I am here to stay (You and me)
For you are not alone (You're always in my heart)
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Not alone, oh
You are not alone
You are not alone
Say it again
You are not alone
You are not alone
Not alone, not alone
If you just reach out
for me girl
In the morning, in the evening
Not alone, not alone
You and me
Not alone
Oh, together, together
Gotta stop being
alone
Gotta stop being
alone.
