Fortunate was given to the perfect person Maxwell SANG this song with so much soul, passion and fire. This song is one of his most standout songs and one of the greatest R&B songs ever.
@Godzone I also couldn't believe man that R.Kelly produced such romance💋🌹😩😭 but then again I was happy that it was him who produced this song and this all shows how talented R.Kelly is.😩😭
And people want to shame R. Kelly's music bcuz of his personal life but his music should still be celebrated. If we're gonna shame his music, we may as well shame it all bcuz none of these singers are angels but nothing's wrong with celebrating their gift
Happy 46th birthday to Maxwell, who along with D'Angelo, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, helped to shape the Neo Soul movement that became prevalent in the mid 90's, such a great track
Jodeci? I bought my first two CDs in 1990, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. But by 14 in 1994, everything changed when i got the Diary of a Mad Band album. Never been the same. 🥰🤟🤘
Don't get me wrong this song is nothing short of amazing, but is anybody going to praise the direction of this video?! The lighting, camerawork, cinematography is phenomenal.
I'm trying to comb the comments for the meaning of this video... It's so weird but I love it. My interpretation is that room is his world filled with all the beautiful things she makes him feel. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
You Rico...are an ALLSTAR....check the dictionary for the definition. However, you are sooooooooo absolutely correct in how beautifully done...and hasn't been seen since....this video is played out...god speed sir for stepping up to what most mis when look into the past with 20/20 goggles. Good grief... this vid has amazing direction and cinematography... hats off to you for noticing...and allowing me the chance to wear your sight to remember why this added sight makes all the diff for me...and let's not forget the sound...always on top... HUGS TO YOU RICO...U SO ROCK...WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!
I agree, the song is incredible but the cinematography is beyond words, the lighting the effects, the jellyfish and butterfly's As for the meaning in the video... All I know is that she died in that room and he's singing, I can't put it together
"Fortunate" is a neo soul song from the 1999 motion picture Life and was released on the film's soundtrack. The song was written, composed, produced and arranged by R. Kelly and recorded by Maxwell. "Fortunate" was awarded Best R&B Single of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards and Best R&B/Soul Single (Male) at Soul Train Awards. Maxwell was nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Male Vocalist and also nominated for a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Song of the Year. The song, Maxwell's biggest hit to date, spent eight weeks at number one on the US R&B chart and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It is his first number-one R&B hit, eventually followed by "Pretty Wings" in 2009. According to R. Kelly, Maxwell didn't want to sing "Fortunate". Instead, he wanted to sing the song "Life" - which Kelly gave to K-Ci & JoJo. Kelly rejected Maxwell's idea because he felt that neo-soul singer wouldn't have been believable singing a song from the perspective of a prison inmate.[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunate
Thanks for that nugget of knowledge bro. Glad Kelly made the right decision and gave Life to K-Ci & JoJo. Kelly is a musical genius. I remember seeing him on a BET special in 1993 where they followed him and Aliyah around in Chicago. He sang a gingle for McDonald's in the subway using a keyboard, total freestyling. It was/is better than any McDonald's gingle I've heard on TV/Radio.
Thanks for that tidbit of information that I previously had not known but now know because of you. Thank you and give yourself a pat on the back. Peace
The whole song is everything, but the breakdown at the very end of the album version shows the genius of R. Kelly's arrangements. He gets on my nerves. All that talent and he's so screwed up. This is the one song I can't give up. Maxwell slayed this shit.
The Fact that R Kelly wrote and produced this song just shows how talented and how much of an affect he had on music despite how he was as a person lol he was a hell of a musician and performer
You can see he's literally drunken by the music by the way he's moving. I swear no one feels their own music like he does. Also the sexiness and sensuality is UNDERRATED in this video 😩
This song was released in 1999… it's more than 17 years old dikweed, the video was just Uploaded to UA-cam 17 years ago. A simple Google search could of prevented you from making this stupid ignorant comment🙄
Maxwell did his thang on this song vocals was on point!! 🔥🔥🔥R.Kelly pen game is strong! I will always appreciate you for your talent! Can't take that away it's God given! 🙏🏼
I really miss this era of music. Everything from the song, to the video, the representation of black love, is just so beautiful. This is so timeless ❤️❤️❤️

#memeluvsutru Me and my husban we're dating at the time this song came out. He would play the CD in his car every time we went out for a date. He loved this song. After a child and five years into the relationship we got married at a simple ceremony at the courthouse and we were married for 17 years. He would always play this song at home and we would slow dance around our living room. We were married for 17 years. we always counted the first day we met 22 years together. We always counted the full years we were together because he always said to me , the first day I met you I knew you were going to be my wife . We were together for 22 years, married for 17 of them . He passed away a year ago, and I truly miss him. I can never listen to this song without crying now. Because every time I hear it I think of him.😢❤ rest in peace Benjamin Rivera!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Never had words to recite" ♡ Everything inside me vibrate to the words of this song and to the beat...the frequency...the height of this high sure is the highest 🎵🎶
This song takes me back to high school when I met my first love. This was our song ♥️♥️♥️. Even tho he's out of the picture now. This song will always have a special place in my heart.
I believe Prince Roger Nelson would listen to this and say bravo brother Maxwell and you did that my brother you did that..... Much xoxo even if it sounds like my music let's stop hating on each other and show the love
THIS IS MY FREAKING SONG...2nd favorite slow song in the world..my favorite is tender love by force MD's. when Maxwell came out with this he put me in my feelings! Never...EVER has one man's voice ever captivated me like Maxwell(and I'm a dude) this man know he can saaaannngg!

That’s why he’s the R in R&B.

We need music like this now....please bring this back
Russell Yates I miss this kind of music too!!!🎼🎼🎼🎼

Bro. That new Female Group (June's Diary) Is bringing this kind of 90s feel music. They just did a cover of Jedeci's "Stay" it's pretty good.

We don't care about what people say that's why
I'm still gonna listen to his music regardless. But I don't condone what R. Kelly did, but that doesn't take away his talent of his music.
I hate that such a despicable degenerate abuser wrote such a beautiful song like this.
He was hitting those angles on the bed. He knew he was eating those shots 😂🔥 I wish someone would upload this video in HD. Its a great visual.
Right! I need to see this in detail, he’s so gorgeous and the video overall is a mood!
I need to see his hotness in hd 🤣
They don't make music like this anymore!
The 90s was the best for R&B.
We are fortunate to have heard Maxwell "Fortunate".

Yes he's out my Playlist i thought till I realized the perv wrote so much music
Thought R Kelly said he could've read or write, on trial????? IJS
every song he did was a freestyle
Yessss!! The build up to the end was amazing. Maxwell well sang the hell out it too.
We need music that heals our souls back please guys...
This is it! No artist can touch him such sensual music!!
Right tho sister
jacquel hubbard R Kelly can he the one wrote the song he's the King of R&B
Pike Wayne Deezy I know who wrote it but R- Kelly don't have the sensuality to sing this song the way he did. That's probably why he didn't sing it. 😉

And Maxwell refuses to sing it now. You will never see him perform this ....it's a shame

Beauty about R Kelly is that he does'nt brag about the songs he written for other artists

Never heard a song quite like this
[chorus]
Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.
Never had room service all night
Never took a trip first class flight
Never had a love affair so tight
I've never felt a feeling so right
Never seen a winter so white
Never had words to recite
Never had a flame to ignite
And I never sang a song with all my might.
[chorus 2x]
Fortunate to have you girl,

I'm so glad you're in my world,

Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.

Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
(Lady.. so.. so so glad)
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I'm blessed the day that I found you.

Silent child
So hope you hear
I'm callin out to your body
Baby you know just what to do
Close the door no interview.

Max's voice is so "soft, smooth, and silky" singing this version of Fortunate. He's Killen it!!
Whoever shot this needs an award ...beautifully shot and beautiful song
A man who can't read made this. That is a gift from God period!
One of the greatest masterpieces that has blessed this world. One of the greatest singers of all time.
My all time favorite from Maxwell. Can't believe its been 20 years!
2019 R.Kelly wrote, arranged, and produced this beautiful song for my baby Maxwell!! This song fits him so well!!! Great job Rob!!
#memeluvsutru Me and my husban we're dating at the time this song came out. He would play the CD in his car every time we went out for a date. He loved this song. After a child and five years into the relationship we got married at a simple ceremony at the courthouse and we were married for 17 years. He would always play this song at home and we would slow dance around our living room. We were married for 17 years. we always counted the first day we met 22 years together. We always counted the full years we were together because he always said to me , the first day I met you I knew you were going to be my wife . We were together for 22 years, married for 17 of them . He passed away a year ago, and I truly miss him. I can never listen to this song without crying now. Because every time I hear it I think of him.😢❤ rest in peace Benjamin Rivera!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song never get old....Who still here for it. ❤

I literally love this man. 😍😍 Such raw talent!! He Ate this song!! 🔥🔥🔥
"Never had words to recite" ♡ Everything inside me vibrate to the words of this song and to the beat...the frequency...the height of this high sure is the highest 🎵🎶
What a man, what voice, what a song.
Hello gorgeous, how you doing?
There is a saying: "No one can make you feel anything without your permission."
As Maxwell proves, music is the exception. ✌️🤟❤️❤️
R Kelly did his thing with this hit song for Maxwell...if u hear Maxwell singing...u can hear Kells singing within yourself💯❣️
This song takes me back to high school when I met my first love. This was our song ♥️♥️♥️. Even tho he's out of the picture now. This song will always have a special place in my heart.
Me,too.I had a sweet girl back then and we made love to this song.She is not in my life either but it was a beautiful time.
Omg, class of '02!
I love this song from the Life Soundtrack and I cannot get enough of this song from Maxwell since it puts me in a better mood.
If you weren’t around or weren’t of age during the time this came out, you can’t comprehend how serious this song was.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!💯💯💯💯
Talk your shit 💯
24 years later and video & song still sends shivers down my spine 🔥
Sounds like something Prince would sing
I said the exact same thing years ago
Prince would never Sing in this style
Prince created this Neo Soul genre..they sound like him.
I believe Prince Roger Nelson would listen to this and say bravo brother Maxwell and you did that my brother you did that..... Much xoxo even if it sounds like my music let's stop hating on each other and show the love
They're both #Gemini's...
