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.
