Jordan Hill's self-titled debut album appeared on May 21, 1996. Produced by David Foster, Greg Charley, Rhett Lawrence, Jeff Pescetto, SoulShock & Karlin and Mario Winans, this album had the notable production. Jordan covered many songs, such as Cheryl Lynn's disco classic "Got To Be Real", Oleta Adams' "I Just Had To Hear Your Voice" (from 1993's "Evolution" album), Lisa Stansfield's "Make It Right." "For The Love Of You," produced by David Foster and Co-produced by Mario Winans, was release as the first single. It became the minor hit both in Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip charts. However, the remix version by Tony Moran became her one and only Top 10 hit in Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
The second single "How Many Times" (which is covered by Aretha Franklin in 1998) and the third single "Too Much Heaven", which is produced by The Bee Gees' Barry Gibb and sang backup, both failed in chart. Due to the poor album sales, 143 Records dropped her.
She still worked with some notable artists, such as The Bee Gees and Jim Brickman, on whose 1999 Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit "Destiny" she was a featured vocalist, along with Billy Porter.
Remember Me This Way
Jordan Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
Your heart will stay
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more a part of me, you're everywhere
I'll always care
And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
