In June 1990, Mariah Carey was not yet the world-renowned vocalist, songwriter and record-breaking diva she is now. She would release her self-titled debut album that month, and her single “Vision of Love” would top the charts several weeks later. Just one week prior to her album’s release, Carey would turn heads with this gorgeous, moving rendition of “America the Beautiful” at the NBA Finals. Hitting a whistle tone in the final moments, even the players are struck with awe by the incredible talent of a burgeoning young star.
