R Kelly: Michael Jackson
built 186 days ago
Kelly has produced all of his own recordings, and other artists have sought him out as a producer and songwriter, intrigued by the palette of sounds he seemed to have at his command. Kelly has worked with Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, Toni Braxton, Gladys Knight, and, most famously, Michael Jackson, as composer of the Number One hit "You Are Not Alone," released on Jackson's HIStory album. Another creative collaboration made headlines in the nation's music press: Kelly's stint as producer of the 16-year-old vocalist Aaliyah. Rumors about the two peaked in 1994 with speculations that they had married. Although Kelly maintained that the relationship was nothing more than platonic, reports of the couple's marriage annulment circulated widely, indicating that Aaliyah had falsely claimed to be 18 at the time. Kelly never confirmed the marriage.

Prosecutors and Kelly’s lawyers said they never raised the issue of a meeting between Jackson and Kelly during a hearing this week about Kelly’s travel.
