Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men

"One Sweet Day" is a song recorded by American singer Mariah Carey and quartet Boyz II Men and written by Carey, Walter Afanasieff and Boyz II Men members Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris, and Michael McCary, and was produced by Carey and Afanasieff for Carey's sixth album Daydream, and was released as the album's second single in 1995. It holds the record for the longest run at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (16 weeks total), and is one of the biggest American hits of both Carey's and Boyz II Men's careers. The song ranked at number 1 on Billboard's rankings of the top Hot 100 songs in the first 50 years of the chart. One Sweet Day was the third best-selling single of 1995 in the US, with sales of over 1,300,000. The single's music video, directed by Larry Jordan, is made up of footage showing Carey and Boyz II Men writing and recording the song in the studio in February 1995, as it was difficult for both Boyz II Men and Carey to schedule a time to film a video.
