"Never Forget You" is a song recorded by American singer Mariah Carey
(pictured) for her third studio album Music Box. Carey co-wrote the slow
jam with Babyface and the pair produced it with Daryl Simmons. Columbia
Records released the song on January 21, 1994, as the B-side to "Without
You" and promoted it to American urban contemporary radio stations as
the album's fourth single. The lyrics lament the end of a romance.
Strings, synthesizers, and percussion characterize the composition;
Jermaine Dupri altered them for remixes. Music critics deemed "Never
Forget You" unremarkable and derivative. The song peaked at numbers one
and three on the US urban contemporary radio charts published by Radio &
Records and the Gavin Report, respectively. It also reached number three
on the Billboard Hot 100 and number seven on the Billboard Hot R&B;
Singles chart. Combined with "Without You", the single sold 600,000
copies in the US throughout 1994.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
Who would imagine that the Deity conducts his providence similar
to the detestable despots of this world? Oh horrible, most horrible
impeachment of Divine Goodness! Rather let us exaltedly suppose that God
eternally had the ultimate best good of beings generally and
individually in his view, with the reward of the virtuous and the
punishment of the vicious, and that no other punishment will ever be
inflicted, merely by the divine administration, but that will finally
terminate in the best good of the punished, and thereby subserve the
great and important ends of the divine government, and be productive of
the restoration and felicity of all finite rational nature.
