The original motion picture soundtrack to the movie of the same name. It was originally released on November 27, 1985 on the Scotti Brothers label. The soundtrack was hugely successful on the strength of two top-five singles, Survivor's Burning Heart (which Sylvester Stallone personally commissioned for the film and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) and James Brown's Living in America, as well as Robert Tepper's lone top-40 hit, No Easy Way Out.
