"Yes I Am" is the fourth album by singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released in 1993 (see 1993 in music). This is the album that catapulted Melissa Etheridge into superstardom. The rock ballad "Come to My Window" hit the tube first, with Etheridge and her guitar and actress Juliette Lewis having a nervous breakdown. This single brought the album into the public consciousness and was quickly followed by "I'm the Only One" (a U.S. #8 hit) and "If I Wanted To" (U.S. #16).
