In 1998, composer Stephen Schwartz wrote When You Believe, performed by Houston and Mariah Carey for the DreamWorks animated film The Prince of Egypt. The song was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song in March 1999. Stephen Schwartz is a genius, Houston said in an interview that year. Just a beautiful song.
