Bobby also gets a free pass into our one-hit wonder hall of fame. Now better known from oodles of adverts and appearing as a slogan on T-shirts, Don’t Worry Be Happy would never advance on its peak.
LYRICS TO ONE MOMENT IN TIME MOVIE
The Manhattan tunesmith’s a cappella hit was feature on the soundtrack to Tom Cruise’s bonkbuster movie Cocktail and was a worldwide smash. In silver medal position at Number 2, and climbing one place, it was Bobby McFerrin’s Don’t Worry Be Happy. Watch the video for One Moment In Time before we check out the rest of our retro Top 5, which is pretty cool, we have to say. It’s a little-known song – you may have heard of it – called I Will Always Love You. She would go on to have one more chart-topper in her career. One Moment In Time was Whitney’s third Number 1 and has sold 326,000 copies – finishing 14th in the year-end chart for 1988. While the video doesn’t feature Whitney herself, it does show a range of athletes achieving their dreams, pushing themselves to be the best they can be for their country, waving flags, cheering, getting medals. Specially recorded for a star-studded commemorative album, One Moment In Time was Whitney doing what she did best – belting it out and making you blub in the process. What better way to follow 12 months of nonstop success than basically own the Olympics? One Moment In Time wasn’t the official anthem of the 1 988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, but by the end of the event, it was the only track anybody was talking about. Her 1987 album Whitney was still selling like extremely warm baked goods, and had given her five Top 20 hits, including the monster Number 1 I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me). Whitney had just enjoyed one of the biggest periods of her career. Our retro chart from 1988 finds Whitney about to enter her second week at the top with this empowering tribute to self-belief and being able to throw javelins and that kind of thing. Many have tried, but few can carry off an Earth-shattering ballad like Whitney Houston. It’s 25 years since Whitney took this Olympic anthem to Number 1.
