Does anyone know what the other Rocky theme tune is ? I haven't got the foggiest who does it but obviously am hoping someone else does. Any ideas ???

Title is Gonna Fly Now. I think the music was performed by the Philadelphia Philharmonic (try saying that after a few beers) if my memory serves me well.

I presume that DeEtta Little was the composer?

That was the credit on the album I looked up on Amazon, Magoo. Not my area of expertise.

No, No, No...........The OFFICIAL Rocky theme is by Bill Conti, and is simply called Theme tune from Rocky. It is a good peice, nevertheless

No worries. I assumed Pennywise was looking for the commercial version (The Eye Of The Tiger, if you will) from the first film.
