| 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.
