She was not impressed, and left. But his futile search reflect on the Cinderella team of flies, and the phrase "One Shining Moment" exploded in his head as he left. The next morning, described the letter on a napkin, and later wrote the music in 20 minutes. He has recorded professionally, and a childhood friend, CBS reporter Armen Keteyian, heard, and passed through the network's creative director, was seeking a post-game anthem. The song was supposed to debut after the Super Bowl in 1987 but was cut.

4. The execution time for the event this year: 3 minutes, four seconds. Bryant said that 10 to 20 seconds will go to the championship final.
