"Suddenly" is a song by American R&B singer–songwriter Toni Braxton, released internationally in February 2006 as the lead single from the European edition of her fifth studio album, Libra (2005). Written and produced by Richard Marx, it failed to make the charts anywhere. The track features Chris Botti on the trumpet, and was originally planned to appear on his 2005 album To Love Again: The Duets. Marx recorded this song as a duet with Braxton for his 2008 studio release Sundown and would later release it as a solo track on Now And Forever: The Ballads and yet as a different version on Beautiful Goodbye.

Soul Alone is a 1993 album by Daryl Hall released on Epic Records. Distinct from the sound of Daryl's successful duo Hall & Oates, this album features a more soulful and jazzy feel. However, Epic failed to find a marketing niche for Hall's new sound, and the album was not a commercial success. Soul Alone featured singer Mariah Carey and producer/multi-instrumentalist Walter Afanasieff as composers. Three singles were released from the album: "I'm in a Philly Mood," "Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You," and "Wildfire." The Japanese version of the album came with an extra 12th track, "I've Finally Seen The Light."

Besides Loggins, several other noteworthy musicians co-wrote and performed on the album. These include frequent Loggins cohort Michael McDonald, as well as fellow soft-rocker Richard Marx and country singer Clint Black.

The album sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
