Release Date: Aug 27, 1988
Peak Chart Position: #5
Though I don't care to spend a lot of time on this blog talking about current events or the personal lives of the artists behind these songs, I felt that I couldn't let Whitney Houston's passing go by without comment. Rather than moving one of her songs up in the cycle and reviewing it, I thought it might be better to share one of her best non-number-one songs, and I picked "One Moment In Time," a song that was written for the 1988 Summer Olympics.
Whitney Houston was truly talented, and her songs are always better when she gets to show off her talent. I don't know that this is one of her better songs (most of her better songs reached No. 1, and we'll get to them later), but it is kind of a grand song. It's positive, happy, and important.
There may be songs that do more to display her talent, but this song may more accurately capture her importance to popular culture.
