As a tribute to Christa McAuliffe , who was slated to be the first teacher in space and who died in the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster , Simon wrote and recorded a song entitled " You 're Where I Go " . McAuliffe was a Simon fan and had taken a cassette of her music on board the shuttle . In 1987 , Simon also sang the theme for the 1988 Democratic National Convention , " The Turn of the Tide " , for a Marlo Thomas television special '' Free to Be ... a Family '' . The song was later included on the 1988 soundtrack album of the same name on A&M Records
