"At This Moment" is a song that was first recorded by Billy
Vera & The Beaters in 1981 during a string of performances
at the Roxy in West Hollywood (January 15-17) and featured on
their self-titled live album,
Billy and the Beaters, released that same year.
When it was originally released as a single, the song
stalled on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #79. However, the
song was included on an episode of the NBC sitcom
Family Tiesduring the 1985-86 season, where it was the
love song associated with Alex P. Keaton (played by Michael J.
Fox) and his girlfriend Ellen Reed (played by Tracy Pollan,
whom Fox eventually married in real-life) on the show, and this
renewed interest in the song. "At This Moment" began a revived
chart run, eventually peaking at #1 on both the Hot 100 and
adult contemporary charts in late January 1987. The song also
crossed over to the country format, peaking at #42 on the
country singles chart.
A cover version was recorded by country music singer Neal
McCoy on his 1990 debut album, also titled
At This Moment. McCoy's version was released as a
single, although it did not chart. Another cover version of the
song appears on Michael Bublé's 2009 album,
Crazy Love.
