You Will

"You Will" was an AT&T marketing campaign from the early 1990s directed by David Fincher. Each ad presented a futuristic scenario beginning with "Have you ever…" and ending with "…you will. And the company that will bring it to you: AT&T."

The ads were narrated by Tom Selleck; one sequence of a mother smiling at her baby through a video call featured future star Jenna Elfman.

You Will (song)

"You Will" is a country song written by Mary Ann Kennedy, Pam Rose, and Randy Sharp and recorded by Anne Murray. The song was the title track to her 1990 studio album and was released as a single in May 1991, but did not chart. The song was covered by Patty Loveless in early 1993. It was included on her first album with Epic Records, Only What I Feel, her sixth studio album. The song was released as the album's third single in November 1993.

Background

This song was one which Loveless originally recorded in the summer of 1992 for MCA Records, and in fact performed on a September 1992 CBS-TV special "Women in Country". However, the condition of her vocal cords had deteriorated to the point that medicine was ineffective, and surgery was necessary in order for her to continue her career. On October 21, she had the surgery. After a nine-week recovery period, she and her husband/producer Emory Gordy, Jr. returned to the recording studio to resume what recording sessions they had finished in the previous autumn. Due to her surgery, the tone of her voice had changed, and all of the material she had recorded during that time period had to be re-recorded. The first song Loveless re-recorded was "You Will."
