At This Moment
~ Billy Vera & The Beaters ~


Vera wrote for the likes of Barbara Lewis and Rick Nelson during the mid-'60s before recording his "Storybook Children" as an R&B duet with Judy Clay in 1967 for Atlantic. It proved a solid hit, as did their 1968 follow-up "Country Girl - City Man." But it was 1887 before Vera surfaced as a solo artist when "At This Moment," a song he'd cut in 1981 with his band, The Beaters, was featured on the popular TV sitcom Family Ties and topped the pop charts.

Oh, do you have Billy Vera's "I Can Take Care of Myself?"

And I'm looking for Johnny Mathis' "Simple" and The Trammps "Magic in the Moonlight!"
