This album is magnificently done. It is extremely impressive. I am especially impressed with "One Moment In Time" song by Whitney Houston. There wasn't a more perfect person that could have song this song the way she did! The feelings and effects that were put into this song make it the more satisfying. This song truly gives you the motivation and incentives to live for. The words are so inspiring. Each time I hear it, I am nearly in tears because it tells a person that 'in one moment in time you can change the world'. The fact that the song was put on an Olympic Games album is also very nice. The games are all about making dreams come true. This song as well the others songs on the album tells you to think about when your dreams come true not if they will!

"One Moment in Time" as performed by Whitney Houston is the most powerful and moving piece of music ever recorded or performed in the English language. Neither the "Star Spangled Banner" nor "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" has the ability to move a person in the way this piece can and does and they are probably the closest thing to "One Moment in Time". If you can listen to this piece of music and are not immediately ready to go out and take the world by the bootstraps then you had better check your pulse. You probably don't have one.

This album is one of the best from the late 80's. I mean that's when the Olympics still meant something. Something changed with this world in the 90's and it went to hell in a handbasket. I mean you hardly ever hear of an Olympic album nowdays. "One Moment In Time" is a song that everyone can relate too. We all have had our one moment in time or we will have eventually. I was starting college back in Oklahoma in the late summer of 1988 when this album was released and it takes me wayyyyyyy back to a better time. Also, something a lot of people don't know about the song "Indestructible" by the Four Tops, is that this song was played at the end of the 1988 movie "Alien Nation". It is a great song as well and if you watch the movie it really gives you a good feeling inside about making new friends and trusting people and giving them a chance. I highly suggest buying this cd, I had mine stolen and am preparing to purchase another one immediatley. I am going to purchase two of them, just in case it ever goes out of print.

I have not been disappointed in any of the cd's that I have ordered. This one came very soon after I ordered it.

This album was my favorite growing up. It brings back so many memories. I love this album and recommend it to anyone who likes to reminise on the 80's!

the music moves me in a way I never thought possible. It gives a message of hope in times of dispair.

Just a magnificent song, and CD of course, but the first track give me a different meaning for life.
