Rocky IV: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack


Rocky IV: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the original motion picture soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It was released on November 27, 1985, by Scotti Bros. Records.
The soundtrack was hugely successful on the strength of two top-five singles, Survivor's "Burning Heart", which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and James Brown's "Living in America", which reached #4, as well as Robert Tepper's lone top-40 hit, "No Easy Way Out", which reached #22. The album reached the top ten on the US Billboard 200 album chart and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. "The Sweetest Victory" by Touch features lead vocals by Marq Torien, who in 1988 rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of BulletBoys.
It is the only score to a Rocky film not composed by Bill Conti, though it does incorporate some music he composed for the first film.
