Remember Michele Tafoya did a play-by-play announcer along with Bill Raftery.. Since when Sean McDonough was not feeling well during the middle in the first half but he returned to second half.. It was the 1996 Elite Eight between Kentucky Wildcats vs. Wake Forest (led by Tim Duncan)..
In years' past, I would play this song to pump me up for March Madness. This year, I may play it a few times as a coping mechanism to move on without our beloved tournament. Right now would be the start of the tournament, but it's of course cancelled this year because of the corona virus.

The following year (1994), the second "One Shining Moment" was made by the late Teddy Pendergrass (until 1999)..

Once upon a time I had the full 2 minute version of this anthem in reasonably good quality. Then I accidentally saved over it with this version. I have checked backup drives, USB drives, memory cards, everything I can think of and still have to try and recover it and I can’t find it. Come on Internet, someone has to have the full length tune where it doesn’t sound like a Fisher-Price tape recorder held up to the TV speaker.
