Notable Artists
Barrett was the original artist (1987-1993, 2000-2002), but CBS has also broadcast remakes by Teddy Pendergrass (1994–1999) and Luther Vandross (2003–2009, 2011–). It is believed to be the last song Vandross recorded before his stroke and subsequent death. A version by Jennifer Hudson was used for the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The format of the Hudson video deviated from prior years by cutting away from the tournament highlight montage on several occasions to show footage of Hudson singing with a recording studio backdrop, drawing criticism from some fans and viewers. On March 29, 2011, CBS announced that they would be reinstating the Luther Vandross version for at least the 2011 Tournament.
