To coincide with the 2006 release of ROCKY BALBOA (the sixth installment in the life of the beloved fictional pugilist created by Sylvester Stallone), Capitol records compiled this collection of music from the various films. In addition to Bill Conti's famed dramatic score--the highlight of which is the eternally inspiring title theme "Gonna Fly Now"--the disc includes original songs by the likes of James Brown ("Living in America"), Survivor ("Eye of the Tiger" and "Burning Heart"), John Cafferty ("Hearts on Fire"), and Three 6 Mafia (who provided "It's a Fight" for ROCKY BALBOA). This collection is as entertainingly over-the-top and undeniably uplifting as the Italian Stallion himself.
What a great finale for Rocky... I have The Rocky Story in my CD collection, however, this one tops it.
I expected a bit more from the last movie, but was still pleased. I think any Rocky/soundtrack fan would enjoy this. Submitted by Vanessa (Los Angeles, CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 3 of 4 found this helpful.
