4. "I Believe I Can Fly" By R. Kelly €” Space Jam (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIQn8pab8Vc In 1996, nothing was bigger than Michael Jordan. So when he starred in his own Loony Tunes crossover film Space Jam, the soundtrack automatically became a bestseller. And the most popular song from that soundtrack was by far R. Kelly's, "I Believe I Can Fly." This song went on to win three Grammy Awards, including Best Song Written For Visual Media. Now that Space Jam has teetered into cultural irrelevance, "I Believe I Can Fly" can still be heard to inspire young minds that they can indeed achieve their dreams.
