The All-Time Top 100 Songs

From: Billboard
#79
"Gangsta's Paradise" 
 Coolio feat. L.V.
Hot 100 Peak:
 No. 1 for three weeks 
1995

Coolio and L.V. based their song for the film "Dangerous Minds" on Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from his masterpiece, "Songs in the Key of Life." But when they sent it to Wonder, he rejected it. "I had a few vulgarities…and he wasn't with that," says Coolio. "So I changed it. Once he heard it, he thought it was incredible."
