a CLASSIC song
Dave Grohl wrote “Everlong” while falling in love with Louise Post of Veruca Salt, shortly after the collapse of his first marriage. The song's iconic drum track was actually recorded by Grohl himself after he re-recorded most of the album's drums, leading original drummer William Goldsmith to leave the band.
The song reached #3 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, but its legacy transcends rock radio. It famously became TV host David Letterman's all-time favorite song, and he had the band perform it upon his return from heart surgery in 2000 and again to close his final late-night broadcast in 2015. The song's dreamlike music video, directed by Michel Gondry, won the Best Group Video award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

a CLASSIC song
Despite a critic's wildly incorrect take that Babyface is a vastly overrated songwriter, 'Face and L.A. Reid (as well as Teddy Riley) helped Bobby get his groove back after his dismal 1986 debut album. Don't Be Cruel is a pinnacle album of the New Jack Swing era.
“Every Little Step” is one of the biggest hits from Bobby Brown’s 1988 album Don’t Be Cruel, written and produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface. Built on an irresistible new jack swing groove, the song celebrates romantic devotion and became one of Brown’s signature singles, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brown’s charismatic performance helped cement his transformation from New Edition standout to one of the defining R&B/pop stars of the late 1980s.
