Tonight’s featured artists are one hit wonders here in the US. Their song that hit is big was written about the world becoming more unified and reflect such optimism Hillary Clinton used it in her political campaign.  Can you tell me the song or artists?

According to the book ‘The Last Party : Britpop, Blair and the Demise of English Rock’ by John Harris, The song ‘Right Here Right Now’ written by Jesus Jones band leader Mike Edwards was written about the fall of the Iron Curtain and taken up as an anthem by bomber pilots during the first Gulf War. The song reflected the optimism felt around the free world as nations came together. The message of hope makes this a popular song for many political candidates, and Hillary Clinton used it during her 2008 campaign.
