Houston left us with a spectacular legacy of live performances throughout her career. Another of her classic live cuts is when she sang “I Have Nothing” at the Billboard Music Awards on December 12, 1993. The Billboard Music Awards were quite fruitful for the R&B star that night, as she brought home a record-breaking 11 awards. Listen to that chorus, folks, no one does it like Houston!

Houston released “One Moment In Time” on August 27, 1988, as the first single from the compilation release 1988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in Time. She also sang the song live at the opening ceremony of the games that year in Seoul, South Korea. Albert Hammond and John Bettis wrote “One Moment In Time,” which was produced by Narada Michael Walden. Readers may be interested to hear the curious fact that the melody of the song was inspired by the late Elvis Presley, as Hammond pictured the King of Rock and Roll singing it “in lavish style” at the opening ceremony. “One Moment In Time” was quite the hit for Houston, as it topped the UK Singles chart, as well as peaking at number five in her homeland. It has since become a classic track for the New Jersey star and has appeared on several of her greatest hits compilations.
