Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David especially for the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), with Paul Newman e Katharine Ross. The scene was a romantic bike ride and director George Roy Hill wanted something light and optimistic. Bob... Dylan was the first guest to record but declined, Ray Stevens also declined. B. J. Thomas accepted and recorded the track while recovering from laryngitis, the hoarse, tired voice that came out was exactly what Bacharach loved (he made Thomas repeat until the seventh take). There is a specific film version (with a vaudeville instrumental break to accompany Newman's stunts) and another recorded weeks later for the single. Released in late 1969, it became the first Billboard Hot 100 of the 1970s (four weeks at the top in January), won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became the biggest hit of B. J. Thomas's career.show more

“Burning Heart” was recorded by Survivor for the 1985 film Rocky IV, after Sylvester Stallone personally commissioned the band to create another high-energy song following the success of “Eye of the Tiger.” Written by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan, the track perfectly captured the film’s Cold War narrative. Released in 1985, the track became a massive hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, where it was kept from the top spot by Dionne Warwick & Friends’ “That’s What Friends Are For.” It also reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and topped the charts in Belgium and Switzerland. The song became Survivor’s biggest hit with Jimi Jamison on lead vocals, while the Rocky IV soundtrack climbed to No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and was later certified Platinum in the United States.

George Roy Hill died OTD in 2002. George was the director of Slap Shot, A Little Romance and The World According to Garp. He also directed two movies nominated for Best Picture Oscars, The Sting (whatever that is... which won) and, of course, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

"The Power of Love" was written for Back to the Future (1985) after Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and Bob Gale approached Huey Lewis about providing a song for the film. Lewis initially resisted because he did not want to write a song called "Back to the Future," so the filmmakers told him that he could simply submit the next song he and the band wrote. That song became "The Power of Love", Lewis also made a cameo in the film as the audition judge who rejects Marty McFly's band, telling them they are "just too darn loud." The track became Huey Lewis and the News' biggest hit and their first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. It also earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. The version Marty performs during the school audition is actually an early demo of the song rather than the finished single, making the scene an unusual piece of music history.

"You're the Inspiration" was originally written for Kenny Rogers! David Foster was in the studio with Kenny and asked Peter Cetera to create a song. Cetera made the basis of chords, traveled to Italy, finished the lyrics inspired by the baroque rooms and works of Michelangelo ("Michelangelo, you should know..." became "You're the inspiration"), but Kenny ended up not recording. Peter and David took the track back, re-recorded it for Chicago 17 (1984) and made it one of the band's biggest hits of the 80s (#3 on the Billboard Hot 100). It was one of the last big hits with Peter Cetera before he left the band in 1985.

"Hey Ya!" was written, produced and recorded almost entirely by André 3000. He played acoustic guitar, keyboards, programmed the drums and did all the vocals (the only thing he didn't record was the bass, played by Aaron Mills). The track, featured on the album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003), became one of the biggest hits of his career. The video was directly inspired by the Beatles' historic performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The success was so great that "Hey Ya!" spent 9 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

“Into the Groove” was recorded by Madonna for the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, the infectious dance-pop classic became one of her most beloved songs of the 1980s, reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart and topping the charts in several other countries. Its irresistible bassline, synthesizers, and club-oriented production helped establish Madonna as one of the defining figures of 1980s dance-pop. Although it was featured prominently in Desperately Seeking Susan, “Into the Groove” was not included on the film's official soundtrack album. In the United States it was not released as a standalone commercial single and instead appeared as the B-side of the 12-inch single of “Angel”, meaning it was ineligible for the Billboard Hot 100 under the chart rules of the time. Despite this, the song received enormous radio and club exposure and reached #19 on the US Hot Black Singles chart. In the UK and several other markets, however, it was released as a single and became Madonna's first UK #1, spending four weeks at the top of the chart.

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" was written by Jim Steinman (the same as Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell) especially for Bonnie Tyler. Bonnie recorded with that characteristic hoarse voice (the result of vocal cord surgery years earlier) and the result was the biggest hit of her career: #1 in the US, the UK and several countries in 1983. The epic video, shot in a castle in Wales with candles, dancers and gothic atmosphere, became one of the most iconic and expensive videos of the 80s.
