Wikipedia article
"'When I Die'" is a song originally released by the Real Milli Vanilli on their 1991 album 'The Moment of Truth', and later by Try 'N' B on their 1992 debut album. The song achieved more exposure when German Eurodance group No Mercy covered it for their 1996 debut album, 'My Promise'. Their version was released as the third single from the album in November 1996 and reached number one in Austria and the Netherlands, number two in Australia, number three in Switzerland, and number five in Germany and Spain.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "With this lovely and instantly memorable pop ballad, Arista aims to cement the future of this charming male vocal trio as more than merely a flash in the disco pan. It's a realistic goal, given the strength of their performance hereit's warmly soulful and technically far more flexible than what the act has displayed on its previous dance hits. In a sea of jeep-styled sound-alike slow jams, this Latin-flavored gem should stand out quite nicely with its plush keyboards and delicate acoustic guitar lines. Not to be missed." Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' commented, "Proving they're also adept when it comes to tackling a ballad, this Miami trio slows it down and blends some sweet harmony into a pretty melody." Diana Valois from 'The Morning Call' said it has Marty Cintron "sounding like a coy and eager Prince".Valois, Diana (1 February 1997). "Disc Reviews". p. A34. 'The Morning Call'.
