One receptacle in the living room is not receiving power. All of the
others
on the same circuit are fine. Circuit breakers are fine. The re-set on
the
kitchen and bathroom wall receptacles are fine. I have never had power
off
on only one receptable. What could it be? Thanks.

Turn the power off to that outlet. Take the outlet cover off, unscrew the
outlet and pull it out. Examine the wires and make sure one hasn't broken
off. It's also not uncommon for wires to be attached to the spring loaded
contacts on an outlet. Frequently these will fail. In this case re-attach
using the screw terminals.
