Michael Jackson - "You Are Not Alone"

R. Kelly wrote "You Are Not Alone" and eventually offered the song to Michael Jackson who recorded it.  Found on Jackson's greatest hits album titled HIStory, the song made history when it debuted in the #1 spot on the Hot 100 Chart --something never achieved in the chart's 37-year history (but would happen five times in 1995).  The song would be Jackson's final #1 hit.  At first listen, you might think the song is a feel-good ballad to a departed friend or lover...yet AV Club debunks that.
