"The Greatest Love of All" is a power ballad that reached #2 on Billboard's R&B Chart for 1977 as recorded by George Benson. It became a hit again years later when it was recorded by Whitney Houston.
The song was performed on Sesame Street in 1979 by Benson, accompanied by co-writer Masser on piano, in the yard for a group of kids.
Leslie Uggams sang the song in the 1978 special Julie Andrews: One Step Into Spring.
