Song:I Remember
Album:Just Like You
Keyshia Cole has had success mostly on the R&B charts. I Remember is one of her three R&B #1 hits. At the time she had a successful reality show on BET. She was born Oct. 15, 1981 in Oakland, CA. She met MC Hammer at age 12 and then she became friends with Tupac Shakur. He was planning to help her with her singing career when he died. She moved to Los Angeles and her big break came when she was introduced to Ron Fair of A&M Records and he signed her in 2002. Her debut album The Way It Is was released in 2005. Her singles I Should Have Cheated and Love were top five R&B hits. Her reality show Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is aired on BET in 2006. After A&M was absorbed by Universal, Keyshia was moved to Geffen Records for the 2007 CD Just Like You. Ron Fair was still there and he was producing her albums with outside producers. Let It Go featuring Lil Kim and Missy Elliott was Keyshia's first #1 R&B hit and it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. This has turned out to be her biggest hit. I Remember also topped the R&B charts and so did Heaven Sent. Just Like You was certified Platinum. It's her most successful album to date and it's available as a budget CD. Keyshia usually wrote all the songs with the producer of the song. I Remember was co-written and produced by Greg Curtis who has worked with Chris Brown among others. As I said, Fair supervised and brought in Missy Elliott and Rodney Jerkins among others. Keyshia's success continued with the 2008 album A Different Me. And then she faded mostly because Fair stopped working with her. Keyshia moved to Epic for the 2017 album 11:11 Reset. It didn't do well so she is now host of One on One with Keyshia Cole on Foxsoul TV. And she produced more reality TV for BET. Maybe her singing days are over. Here's the video for I Remember by Keyshia Cole.
