Eye of the Tiger

About Eye of the Tiger

"Eye of the Tiger", by the American rock band Survivor, was written by guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik as the theme song for the 1982 film "Rocky III". Released in May 1982 as a single from Survivor's third album, "Eye of the Tiger", the song blends elements of hard rock with a post-disco beat. Sylvester Stallone, director and star of "Rocky III", approached Survivor after Queen declined permission to use their song "Another One Bites the Dust". .
