Survivor "Eye of the Tiger"
Another icon film series is Rocky. Everyone knows the story of Sylvester Stallone playing the famed fictional boxer, always facing some new adversity with each movie. While Rocky III was not the most successful film in the series, it did provide us with a few iconic items, including today's song selection. The soundtrack to the film reached #15 on the Billboard 200. "Eye of the Tiger" was the main featured song on the soundtrack, and was the theme song for the third installment of this series. It was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards. As far as charts are concerned, it reached the top spot of the Billboard 100, as well as #1 in 8 other countries. It finished on the year end chart in the U.S. at #2. It still appears on various international and digital charts today, proving that its popularity has not dwindled all that much. One other side note about the movie in general is that his was the Rocky film that gave us the statue that resides in front of the Philadelphia Art Museum. I hope you'll enjoy today's selection.
