    • Trivia
      His hit song, "At This Moment" was first used on the sitcom Family Ties (1982) in a scene when Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox) shares his first dance and kiss with his future girlfriend, and later real life wife, Ellen Reed ( Tracy Pollan). The song was then picked up by DJs across the country and the rest is music history.
