Song review: Jennifer Hudson - One Shining Moment

One Shining Moment by Jennifer Hudson, Music Lyrics and Video

One Shining Moment is an inspirational song written by David Barrett about the Men's College Basketball Championship (at the end of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament).
Barrett was the original artist, but CBS has also broadcast remakes by Teddy Pendergrass (1994-1999) and Luther Vandross (2003-2009). It is believed to be the last song Vandross recorded before his stroke and subsequent death. A new version by Jennifer Hudson will be unveiled for the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.
Barrett thinks that changing the singer every few years keeps the song fresh. "A lot of younger folks, they have their singers. And Jennifer is their singer. And she's wonderful."
"One Shining Moment" is traditionally played at the end of CBS Sports' coverage of the championship game of the tournament. The song is played as the winning team's players cut down the nets, to a montage of highlights from the tournament.
