Oprah Winfrey has admitted that an attempt to perform her own theme song for her eponymous Nineties talk show was “one of the mistakes” of her career.
In 1998, Winfrey recorded “Run On” – a new take on an old Black spiritual – as both a single and the (ultimately temporary) new theme song to The Oprah Winfrey Show. In the video for the track, Winfrey can be seen attempting to dance alongside a parade of back-up singers, while laughing children and butterflies appear in black-and-white beauty shots.
