Making the perfect work/study/chill playlist is the finest of arts, which is why, TBH, I've largely stopped trying.

Seemingly even more iconic than the film Space Jam was its soundtrack that featured an inspirational ballad that would quickly make a dent in pop culture.

For Kelly, it became one of his biggest pop commercial successes and the single ended up being nominated for five Grammys that year including Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and winning for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Song Written For Visual Media. After hitting gold writing and pro...
