"Remember the Time" is a popular recording for American rock and R&B singer Michael Jackson in March of 1992. Released as the second single off Jackson's hit 1991 album, Dangerous, the song was a successful attempt by Jackson to create a New jack swing-flavored R&B jam with the accompanient of co-producer Teddy Riley. The song hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart. In 1993 Jackson gave a memorable performance of the song at the Soul Train Awards in a chair saying he had an injury in rehearsals and at the ceremony he was given 3 awards including Best Male Single of the year for Remember The Time as well as best R&B album for Dangerous.
The song was originally set to be a part of the Dangerous World Tour and was rehearsed before the tour began but was taken out. Many rumors state that it might have been taken out for time purposes due to the already large song list for the tour.

[edit] Music video
As for some of his past songs, the music video for "Remember the Time" was an elaborate production and became one of his longest videos at over 9 minutes. Set in ancient Egypt, it featured groundbreaking visual effects and appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, and Magic Johnson along with a distinct complex dance routine that became the centre piece of many other videos from the Dangerous album. It is his first on-screen kiss and is one of only a few videos where he is seen embraced in a kiss.
