Data Insight
All 21 tracks are Kelly's own, written, produced and arranged by him across both discs. Splitting a record between a dance side and a church side is the kind of move only a sole author can make, and the credits show nobody else had a say in either half.
Happy People/U Saved Me is a double album from August 2004, one disc of steppers music and one of gospel. It reached number two on the Billboard 200 and is certified 3x platinum.
