Seal on Monday (June 22) told a story he said was not well-known about his classic song "Kiss From a Rose," which Joel Schumacher helped make a huge hit. The director died Monday. He was 80.
In a video that was more than five minutes long, the musician sang a few bars of his song before telling the story of how it was a flop in 1994 before Schumacher fell in love with it and used it on the soundtrack for Batman Forever in 1995.
"It was the fourth single from my second album. It went into the charts at No. 60 and dropped to No. 80-something the next week and that was the end of it. It was over," Seal explained.
