Jordan Hill (born in Knoxville, Tennessee USA), is an American singer/songwriter.
Hill was originally signed by producer David Foster to his own label 143 Records, a division of Warner Music Group. Her first song, "Remember Me This Way", which was produced by Foster, became the film Casper's theme song and released as single.
Jordan Hill's self-titled debut album was produced by David Foster, Greg Charley, Rhett Lawrence, Jeff Pescetto, SoulShock & Karlin and Mario Winans. Hill covered many songs, such as Cheryl Lynn's "Got to Be Real", Oleta Adams' "I Just Had to Hear Your Voice", and Lisa Stansfield's "Make It Right." "For The Love Of You", produced by Foster and Winans, was released as the first single; it became a hit both in Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip charts. However, the remix version by Tony Moran became her biggest hit, going Top 10 on Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
The second single, released only in Europe, was "How Many Times" (which was later covered by Aretha Franklin) and the third single, also a Europe exclusive, was "Too Much Heaven", a cover of a Bee Gees song and featured Barry Gibb singing backup. Due to a lack of support and promotion, she left the label.
She worked with some notable artists, such as the Bee Gees and Jim Brickman, on whose 1999 Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit "Destiny" she was a featured vocalist, along with Billy Porter.
Jordan is currently writing and recording a follow up album which is due to be released in early 2013.
Famous quotes containing the words jordan and/or hill:
“All of Western tradition, from the late bloom of the British Empire right through the early doom of Vietnam, dictates that you do something spectacular and irreversible whenever you find yourself in or whenever you impose yourself upon a wholly unfamiliar situation belonging to somebody else. Frequently it’s your soul or your honor or your manhood, or democracy itself, at stake.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
“And then the man whom Sorrow named his friend
Cried out, Dim sea, hear my most piteous story!
The sea swept on and cried her old cry still,
Rolling along in dreams from hill to hill.
He fled the persecution of her glory....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
