I Believe I Can Fly

I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, April 12, 1997 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. Kelly wrote this for Space Jam, which was a kid's movie starring Michael Jordan in a world of cartoons. The song was much more popular than the movie and became an inspirational anthem often played at weddings and used in video tributes. This won 1997 Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. Kelly may claim that he believes he can fly in this song, but in reality the R&B superstar has a chronic fear of air travel. Kelly is so scared of planes that he even takes boats when he tours Europe.
