This disc has all of the essential Bill Conti classics. sixteen years ago, Bill Conti briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Philadelphia Morning”. This is the first studio album from Bill Conti since bad diagnosis in 1976. Check it every song is worth the money for the Rocky 1 CD!
The first time I listened to Philadelphia Morning I was struck by its cool sound. Going The Distance - I just love it. Reflections is one of the best records ever. Get Rocky 1 and turn on Marines’ Hymn/Yankee Doodle if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Take You Back is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Some of the arrangements found on Rocky 1 are surprisingly edgy. I can’t stop playing You Take My Heart Away. Fanfare For Rocky is such a amazing and optimistic song that things can get just better. Butkus gives taste of what makes Bill Conti special as a musician. Bill Conti allows each song to breathe and flourish. The Final Bell is the most memorable and excellent. Voice and instruments in Rocky’s Reward complement each other.
