In 1985 a producer from the TV show Family Ties was in the audience to hear the band (Billy and the Beaters) play "At This Moment". It was aired in the fall of 1985 during the breakup episode of characters Alex (Michael J. Fox) and Ellen (Tracy Pollan). Viewers responded by clamoring for the song, and in 1986 Rhino records re-released the recording as a Best of record. The single was a number one hit and stayed on the charts for 15 weeks.
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
