PM Dawn - "I'd Die Without You"

Right toward the end of Eddie Murphy's relevance as a bona fide movie star, he decided to tackle a more serious role in the movie Boomerang.  The movie was a huge success--helping launch Halle Berry's acting career as well as Toni Braxton's singing career thanks to a soundtrack loaded with radio-ready hits.  Braxton wasn't the only one to benefit from the soundtrack.  PM Dawn struck gold with the ballad "I'd Die Without You".  Its reign on the 1992 Hot 100 lasted 16 weeks.  You couldn't hide from this song on Chicago's B-96 during the summer of 1992, and with good reason.
