Josh King “All by Myself” American Idol
“All by Myself” is a song by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen, released by Arista in December 1975 as the first single from Carmen’s debut album, Eric Carmen (1975). The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s 1900-1901 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song “Let’s Pretend”, which Carmen wrote and recorded with his band the Raspberries in 1972. The slide guitar solo was performed by studio guitarist Hugh McCracken.
The most notable cover version of “All by Myself” was recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion in 1996. It was the fourth (or third, depending on the country) hit single from her fourth English-language studio album, Falling into You (1996). Produced by David Foster at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, it was released on December 9, 1996, in the United Kingdom and on March 11, 1997, in the United States. Selected editions of the album and the single include a Spanish version of the song titled “Sola Otra Vez”.
The single became one of Dion’s biggest hits in the United States, reaching number one on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks (for three weeks) and the Latin Pop Airplay (two weeks). It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 (number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay and number five on the Hot 100 Singles Sales). It was also a top 10 hit in France, United Kingdom, Wallonia in Belgium and on the Irish Singles Chart. In Canada, “All by Myself” was released as a promotional single only, hitting number one on the Adult Contemporary Chart. “All by Myself” was certified gold in the US (500,000) and in the UK (400,000) and silver in France (125,000).
During an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Dion revealed that the famous high note (F5) leading into the key change had not been planned but David Foster surprised her with it when she appeared for recording. When Dion asked why the surprise, Foster told her that if she couldn’t sing it, other singers would, which prompted Dion to prove to Foster that she could sing it.[40
