The annual end to college basketball always concludes with a musical moment -- "One Shining Moment," specifically of course.
The schmaltzy song, the idea of which was conceived on a pair of napkins in 1986 in East Lansing, Michigan, has lovingly become college hoops' signature seasonal sign-off. It was written by a man named David Barrett. This year serves as the 30-year anniversary of its conception.
The genesis of the song is my favorite detail about it: Barrett came up with the idea of "One Shining Moment" during an hour of nervousness. He drummed up the idea while trying to hit it off with a waitress after playing a bar gig.
