Explore the Forgotten Artists Who Got Lost In Time

One day a person asked, “If you ever got a chance to meet one of your favorite childhood singers, who would it be?” Surprisingly, I was not able to decide which of the singers from the 90s I would meet. Well, it’s not that I am weak at making decisions; the problem was there were so many great singers in the 90s that it was tough to make a decision. While I was thinking about it, I realized that just like me, there would be many 90s kids who will be missing their favorite singers from the 90s, and Gen–Z would not be even aware of these legends. Hence, I decided to take deep dive into the memory lane and created a list of forgotten artists, for my fellow 90s kid. I have covered the musical maestros from the 90s in this article and will cover artists from every field in my upcoming articles, but for now, stop whatever you are doing and grab a handkerchief to wipe your tears, as today I will bring back the memories. Some of these singers would have helped you to recover from a breakup, while others would have helped you to become the life of the party, and some of them would have just cheered you up when you were down. Trust me, these singers have saved many people from falling into depression and have even prevented people from taking away their own life. Are you ready? Let’s get started:

Forgotten Old Famous Artists Of The Music Industry

1. Ricky Martin 

Nowadays, Ricky Martin has become a family man. Along with his husband, Jwan Yosef has welcomed his fourth child into his family. They already had twins and a daughter, and now their family has been extended. But in the 90s, Ricky Martin was the source of mood upliftment. His song Livin La Vida Loca is an evergreen song and can lighten up your mood even in the most drowning situations. His other songs, Nobody Wants to Be Lonely, Shake Your Bon-Bon, and María can make even the grumpiest old man smile. In 2021, Ricky Martin went on a world tour with Enrique Iglesias. He may not have those crazy fans that he used to have in the nineties, but he is still doing pretty well in his career.

4. Micheal Jackson

The legend, the revolution Micheal Jackson was one of the most popular singers, songwriters, dancers, and whatnot. Micheal Jackson is called the “King Of Pop,” and for a good reason.

Although the singer was famous worldwide, her second and third albums, 'White Lillies Island' and 'Counting Down the Days,' failed to achieve the success which was achieved by her first album.
