Vera

By Request (The Best Of Billy Vera & The Beaters) is a 1986 album by American singer Billy Vera and his band, The Beaters. This is the album that gave us a live version of "At This Moment" that became a surprise hit after it was used on the NBC situation comedy Family Ties.

Vera is the sound of a band at the very top of its game. To be released on Alma Records on September 28 worldwide, the fourth album from the acclaimed Toronto-based trio is an adventurous yet always accessible work that showcases both the compositional skills of each member and their considerable prowess as musicians. The creative chemistry at play within Myriad3 (comprising keyboardist Chris Donnelly, bassist Dan Fortin, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Ernesto Cervini) is perfectly complemented by the veteran team of producer Peter Cardinali and engineer/mixer John Beetle Bailey. That dynamic duo has manned the board on all the group's albums to date, and their deep understanding of the Myriad3 sound and vision remains an invaluable asset.

This is a song that originally was set to be on my most recent album, Peacemaker, but didn’t fit sonically or thematically. Since the record release, however, it’s become a favorite to play.
