Jennifer Hudson to perform 'One Shining Moment'
NEW YORK (AP) -Jennifer Hudson will be the new voice of “One Shining Moment.”
The Grammy and Oscar winner has recorded her version of the song that plays each year at the end of the CBS broadcast of the NCAA men's basketball championship game. Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross have performed previous renditions.
The network said Tuesday that Hudson will be the first woman to sing it. The tune by folk singer David Barrett has been a Final Four staple since 1987, played over highlights of the tournament.
