...fact, at their recent Juke Jam concert, the Harvard-Radcliffe Opportunes reappeared after their normal set to sing--surprise--"Change in My Life," the emotional gospel tune which many say is their best song.

Katzenberg had been lobbying John to sing a tune he didn't write for the very-high-stakes upcoming DreamWorks animated film Prince of Egypt. Unfortunately, John doesn't do songs he didn't write.
