| Joan Osbourne - One of Us |
 |
"One of Us" is a song written by Eric Bazilian (of
The Hooters) and originally released by Joan
Osborne.
The song deals with various aspects of belief in
God by asking questions inviting the listener to
consider how they might relate to God, such as
"Would you call [God's name] to his face?" or
"Would you want to see [God's face] if seeing
meant that you would have to believe?" The name of
the song comes from the question contained in the
refrain, "What if God was one of us?"
Released in March 1995 on the album Relish
(produced by Rick Chertoff), it hit the top 40 in
November of the same year. With this song, Osborne
received one of many Grammy nominations in 1995,
including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but
failed to win. One year later Prince covered the
song for his 'Emancipation' LP.
Around January 1996, "One of Us" hit the top 10.
Finally in March of 1996 "One of Us" climbed to #1
on Rock On The Net's ARC Weekly Top 40 and stayed
there for 2 weeks. Its peak chart position on the
Billboard Hot 100 was #4.
