S&S Records, Inc. (and S&S Chicago, Inc.) was established by 4-time GRAMMY® nominated producer and House Music pioneer Steve "Silk" Hurley and global DJ/Producer Shannon "DJ Skip" Syas. Silk and Skip merged Hurley's worldwide commercial success and Syas' strong global following to form S&S Records. S&S Records has accumulated a catalog of new and classic hit records from global artists all over.

Penned by the ID Records writing duo of E-Smoove and Jere McAllister, “Are You Gonna Be There” proved to be a perfect fit for the sultry yet powerful vocals of Sharon Osbourne, known professionally as Shay Jones. More than just a vocalist, Shay is a poet, writer, clothing designer, Renaissance Artist, and a distant cousin of the legendary Jeffrey Osbourne. Her biggest influences are Joni Mitchell, Tina Turner, James Brown, and Bootsy, who like Shay, was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.


ID Records’ E-Smoove and Steve “Silk” Hurley teamed up to produce this now-classic tune, which is reminiscent of the trendsetting Soul II Soul sound that was all the rage in 1990. Of course, the package also contains remixed versions by the GRAMMY® winning Maurice Joshua, and the GRAMMY® nominated E-Smoove and Steve “Silk” Hurley. The celebrated ID remixing team delivers as usual, with each providing their own individual interpretations of the song through the art of remixing.


S&S Records, Inc. is proud to present this digitally remastered package of the original 12” vinyl release, which was previously unavailable digitally.
