DEF: Billy Vera & The Beaters “At This Moment”

Riverside, California-born musician Billy Vera has made six appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, ranging nearly two decades from late 1967 through early 1987. Among those six songs, three made the Top 40, with only one of those three reaching the Top 20. Exactly 30 years ago, the last of Vera’s six chart appearances — the song “At This Moment” with his band The Beaters, which was re-released as a single after its use on the NBC sitcom Family Ties — resulted in a number one hit by climbing into the top spot for a two-week run. To commemorate that anniversary, “At This Moment” by Billy Vera & The Beaters is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
