"Theme From ROCKY MCMXIIII"

/

about

From the same 1989 sessions as "Open your Eyes" comes this kool instrumental.
Originally, Amy Joe's buddy Matt was supposed to sing it, but during the tracking of his vocal, I decided that this would be an instrumental. Matt was quite upset about my decision!

I played the drums and tambourine, my college buddy at the time played bass, and ALL the keyboard parts were arranged and performed by the engineer on the session.
Both the engineer and myself were going for a sort of PHIL COLLINS arrangement and mood with the keys.

The original title of this song was "Love", but after playing the final instrumental version for people, all I heard was "this sounds like a new theme for ROCKY"...hence the new title!

Enjoy!
