Scored to Death Radio is back with a very special audio documentary celebrating the 50th Anniversary of one of the defining films of the 1970s and one of the most celebrated film scores of all time: ROCKY (1976). Host J. Blake Fichera, composer Bill Conti, and others take a stroll down memory lane, sharing insights and behind-the-scenes stories about the iconic music that helped transform director John G. Avildsen’s and screenwriter/star Sylvester Stallone’s little boxing movie into one of cinema’s most beloved works. The music has since taken on a life of its own throughout pop culture, becoming a musical shorthand for determination, hard work, and perseverance—especially the Academy Award-nominated theme “Gonna Fly Now.”
