We're All Alone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"We're All Alone" is a popular song written and originally recorded in 1976 by Boz Scaggs, as the closing track on his breakthrough album, Silk Degrees.

The song has since been covered by various artists. It was a minor pop hit in 1976 for Frankie Valli and also a minor country hit that same year for La Costa (sister of Tanya Tucker).

The most successful and most popular version of the song is probably the version by singer Rita Coolidge. Coolidge featured the song on her album Anytime, Anywhere in 1977 and released it as a single late that year. The song went to number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the adult contemporary chart, and number 68 on the country chart, and was certified as a gold single, Coolidge's second after her successful cover of Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher." It was covered as "Estamos Todos Solos" by Natalia Oreiro.

Coolidge's version of "We're All Alone" was also very popular in Brazil, and she recalled in The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits by Wesley Hyatt that it was used as the theme song for a Brazilian soap opera a few years later.
