The Story Behind the Song: "One Sweet Day" by Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey
Everything was gong great for us. As an original member of Boyz II Men, we
had a very successful first CD and were touring a lot. However, a date in
Chicago was the beginning of a very tough time for us.
We were very young, between 16 and 21 at the time. Kahlil Roundtree was our
road manager and was like a surrogate father on the road. Our parents
trusted him to handle everything, including us, which he did very well. We
had some problems with the promoter on this particular date. Kahlil got into
it with him about the hotel or some issue in the contract, and he brought us
the information in the dressing room after the show to ask our opinion, which
was odd since he always just took care of things himself and they ran
smoothly.
Later that night, after the show, he and a partner went to the front desk of
the hotel to settle the groups room charges before heading to bed. As they
entered the elevator, three men who worked in the parking structure adjacent
to the hotel entered as well. Once in the elevator, there was a shootout and
he was killed. This was definitely the biggest loss in our career, if not our
lives.
After he died, I began working on a song for him while we were on the road.
Not too long after, we got a call from Tommy Mottola asking if we'd be
interested in doing a duet with Mariah Carey. We went to the studio she was
recording in at the Hit Factory in New York, to hear the song they had in
mind. She played us the melody and the hook, and it was amazing. It was
almost the same song I was writing. I told her that I was working on a song
with a similar melody and, while the lyrics were, of course, different, the
premise was the same. They complemented each other. I sang to her the melody
and lyrics of what I had written, and we merged the two. We switched things
around to make them work and wrote it that day. The other guys in the group
filled in the holes to complete it.
We came back to the studio to record it a week or so later and we only had a
few hours to do everything, since we squeezed this in between dates on tour.
The photo on the album cover was shot in the elevator on the way up to the
studio and the video was shot during the recording session, all in those few
hours that day. It entered the charts at #1 and became the longest running #1
single, keeping that position for 16 weeks, longer than any other song in
billboard history.
