1986
Like a warrior that fights And wins the battle I know the taste of victory Though I went through some nights Consumed by the shadows I was crippled emotionally Somehow I made it through the heartache Yes I did, I escaped I found my way out of the darkness, Kept my faith (I know you did) Kept my faith When the river was deep I didn't falter When the mountain was high I still believed When the valley was low iIt didn't stop me, no no I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me With and endless desire I kept on searching Sure in time our eyes would meet Like the bridge is on fire The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free No, I don't regret a single moment No I don't looking back When I think of all those disappointments I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh When the river was deep I didn't falter When the mountain was high I still believed When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no no I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me So we were drawn together through destiny I know this love we share was meant to be I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting

A canção “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” foi gravada em 1987 por Aretha Franklin e George Michael, duas ídias de gêneros distintos que uniram forças pela primeira vez em um hit de sucesso.
Escreta pelos compositores Simon Climie e Dennis Morgan, a música foi produzida pelo renomado produtor Narada Michael Walden, que já havia colaborado com Franklin em outras faixas de sucesso.
Ao atingir o topo do Billboard Hot 100, a dupla consolidou Franklin como a primeira e única mulher negra a alcançar dois sucessos número um nos Estados Unidos em sua carreira, enquanto Michael atingiu seu primeiro hit número um no Reino Unido, marcando o sucesso internacional da faixa.
Em 1987, o duo foi agraciado com o Grammy de Melhor Performance de R&B por um Dueto ou Grupo com Vocais, reconhecendo a força vocal e a química entre Franklin e Michael.
Em 2018, a Billboard reafirmou o legado da música ao incluí‑la como o maior sucesso de Aretha Franklin na lista de maiores hits de todos os tempos no Hot 100, reforçando a importância histórica da parceria.
