Subject: Billy Vera and the Beaters

Written By: Chris Murphy on 8/15/2000 at 6:47 p.m.

Can anyone tell me in what movie they perform the song "At this Moment"? It's a bar scene and maybe it's the video for the song and it's not in a movie. This drives me crazy when ever I hear the song on the radio. THANKS.

It is from the 1987 movie "Blind Date" starring Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger, who plays the title role, a woman who goes out of control when she starts to drink.

Also credit goes to the TV series, Family Ties
for playing this song and viewers called in
asking who sang the song, it went back into
the Top 40 and eventually went to number one
after a six year absense from the charts.

Was there a video MTV played with Blind Date
and/or Family Ties clips or an actual video
with the band performing?

It was also used in the Jodie Foster movie "The Accused", according to the Internet Movie Database.

I wouldn't know if there was a music video for the song that was aired in any sort of form on MTV, because I wasn't allowed to watch MTV until 1993. I was 10 years old at that point, and also at that point, the good music was draining away from MTV. MTV wasn't the same after 1993.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff

Interesting I would have thought by the time that
movie was released the song would have lost its
steam the second time around.

Its funny how we have different opinions on that
one. I feel as if MTV started to get bad when they
got rid of the original VJ's around 86-87. Since
then its more non-music and silly stuff.
