Alicia Keys: If I Ain’t Got You
From the day that “If I Ain’t Got You” first hit airwaves, it was a no-brainer that this Alicia Keys hit would find itself a comfortable place in love song history. As one of the great R&B singers of the last several decades, Keys knocked it out of the park with her gritty and moving performance of a song that was inspired by the passing of fellow singer Aaliyah: “The song idea came together right after Aaliyah passed away. It was such a sad time and no one wanted to believe it. It just made everything crystal clear to me—what matters, and what doesn’t.”
