Robert Sylvester Kelly生於1967年1月8日 ，以其藝名R. Kelly出名，集R&B製作人/歌星/演奏家/作曲家於一身的R.Kelly，繼承了從Marvin Gaye到Prince這一性感派的音樂傳承，R.Kelly認為，再也沒有比美好的性愛更能激發人靈感。竄起於90年初New Jack Swing這種樂風的風潮末期，他不僅取得商業成功，樹立個人特色--柔和折衷的嘻哈節奏、靈魂樂式的吟唱、還有歌曲中不可或缺的R式放克與直言不諱的性愛描寫：如〈Sex Me〉、〈Your Body’s Callin〉等更是他受人喜愛的關鍵，跨足了流行樂種之間的鴻溝，成為90年代最暢銷的男性藝人，他是十年來擁有最多Top40的男歌手。
R.Kelly不僅替節奏藍調風格開創最綺情的異色世界，更不思議的混融香濃靈魂、虔誠福音、街頭嘻哈以及流行元素，使得這位大談新都會男女情愛故事的才子，雖然有著惡名昭彰的壞男孩形象，卻能倚靠視聽雙感官的雙刺激，加上順暢動人旋律的輔佐，讓勞凱利出道至今20年歲月，仍然屹立不搖，累計3座葛萊美+8座代表黑人音樂最高榮譽的靈魂列車+6座告示牌+6座全美音樂等大獎加冕，全球直逼億萬銷售量！
風風雨雨一路走來，R.Kelly逐步建立起自己的音樂王朝與地位，他的名字成了樂派代名詞，更是後起新秀爭相師法的前輩。不僅如此，令人稱羨渾然天成的演唱/創作功力，讓麥可傑克森、席琳狄翁、惠妮休斯頓、瑪麗亞凱莉、布蘭妮、珍娜傑克森等一票天王天后級藝人傾心不已，甘願排隊等歌或是合唱！管他什麼分級制度，這些精采戲碼都在勞凱利無界限的音樂藍圖中不斷延伸擴張中。本文主打歌"I Believe I Can Fly"曾獲1997年美國流行榜亞軍(R&B榜冠軍)，也為R.Kelly贏得葛萊美「年度最佳電影主題曲」、「年度最佳R&B單曲」以及「年度最佳R&B歌手」等三項大獎肯定；推薦曲"If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time"為1998年流行榜＃12(R&B榜＃5)。(以上資料來自博客來音樂館)

then my darlin' you would be mine
if i could turn turn back the hands of time
then my darlin' you would be mine

when everyday i plead come back to me

and you had enough love for the both of us
but i i did you wrong i admit i did
but now i'm facing the rest of my life a lone

if i could turn back then i'd come to realize how much i love you
love you love you love you love you
if i could turn back the hands 20
