- Episódio da série "A Música no Cinema" (Music Behind The Scenes), exibido pelo canal a cabo GNT em 2002, com o maestro americano Bill Conti falando sôbre a trilha sonora que compôs para o filme Rocky - Um Lutador (1976), direção de John Avildsen, com Sylvester Stallone, Burgess Meredith, Talia Shire, Burt Young e Carl Weathers.
Bill is so humble! He won’t admit it but I will- That is the greatest score in motion picture history. Imagine living life without ever hearing that theme??
I disagree. There are a ton of great scores. Terminator, Matrix, the thing, holloween, I can keep going.
No.
THANK YOU A MILLION FOR THAT SOUNDTRACK MAESTRO BILL CONTI!
Between the movie itself and the soundtrack, it got me through a terrible time. I'd had a spinal fusion from an accident at work, and that put an end to me playing hockey, which was a big part of my life then. This soundtrack got me through 2 years of physical therapy and helped give me enough will power,that I made it back on to the ice for two more years. My favorite track is The final Bell.
The real beauty of it all is that this was an incredible collaboration between Mr. Conti and Mr. Avildsen. RIP Mr. Avildsen!
'Just love Bill Conti. One of thegreat composers in film history.
couldnt agree more !
@@onemoreroundtherockyseries6976 I agree with you both. He's incredible.
Just love Bill Conti. One of the most celebrated composers in cinema history. For 1976's Rocky, the film's theme song "Gonna Fly Now" was nominated for an Academy Award for best original song in 1977. This is the first of many for Bill Conti. Seven years later, he won an Original Score Oscar for The Right Stuff in 1984. Plus, he won numerous Emmy Awards too. Thank you, Bill Conti, you're simply the best !
Bill Conti is the best Piano Musician
Fantastic! I've had a life-long appreciation for the music of Bill Conti.
Eu tenho até hoje!!!
I love you man. Thanks for your music
One of my favorite movie scores of all time, grew up hearing this soundtrack, love the Rocky movies
1/16/23
still the main theme!!
Bill Conti é fantástico
the best musician and song ever....people are lucky....Mr. Conti is too humble!
A magical soundtrack for a magical movie. I think the enduring fascination with “Rocky” is it connects with the audience on a gut level, with primal human emotions. I believe Stallone said in an interview that “Rocky” is not a “boxing movie”, it’s a love story that just happens to be about boxing. As to Bill Conti’s score, it is IMHO the most “essential” in the history of movie making. Absent his brilliant work, “Rocky” would never have achieved the level of success it did. I have this fantasy where Avildsen, Stallone et al hear Conti’s score for the first time, and look at each other with giant shit-eating grins on their faces as they realize “Rocky” is gonna be a huge hit.
I don‘t know if Bill Conti knows what powerful music he created.. „Going to fly now“ and „going the distance“ still gets me going everytime I listen to them!
The second part of Going... is a shameful plagiarism of an italian song of 1973 called "E cosi per non morire" sang by Ornella Vanoni.Conti was the arranger of the song and he used that part in Rocky.Listen up.I discovered that yesterday watching an italian tv series on Netflix.I loved Bill Conti ma now my love is over.!!!
When the main theme in Rocky comes in and he starts his training?? ................Powerful!!
Simplesmente brilhante
I love the music but i really enjoy getting a look at the process.
Thank you Mr. Conti for exquisitely poignant music. It will echo forever in the midst of our hearts.
timeless
Greatest soundtrack of all time!!!!
A great music. Inspirational. Makes me wanna go jogging as well:)
Great Stuff, Bill Conti really is a genius and left us with a masterpiece that we all will love forever !
The master of the master. Thank you for All this years
One word- brilliant!
Incrível, a cena foi colocada no modo de trás para frente e nunca ninguém percebeu. Pois todo mundo que vê, está vislumbrado com a sensação que a imagem junto a música nos trás. Incrível e obrigado.
Love this story of Bill Conti's adding the patchwork quilt of this iconic theme...great build as Stallone ascends the steps...Goose Bumps
great indeed
GENIUS
Valeu por postar esse video do grande Bill Conti!! Sem dúvida é o tema mais lindo do cinema junto com o do Superman, do John Williams.
Ótima Trilha Sonora.Época Boa Quando O Canal GNT Passava Documentários Interessantes.
Bill, Very Thanks for your great participation in the story of my story and that of so many others!
The soundtrack is the best one that I know! Tks for The inspiration.
Thanks for sharing this interview
Amazing how it all came together
rocky 1 and 2 are pieces of art
That was great. I’m pretty much a Rocky expert but never knew the shot in the stairs was reversed, that’s coo to know.
check out the interview i just did on our site !
Grazie , Maestro ! Ciao dall'Italia 🇮🇹🙏
Master piece in history 🔥🔥💯💯
Esse tema é um remédio para minha alma.
Video's such as this is the reason why they built the internet..
This stuff is gold..
This is what I like about ART. Don't bring a scientific formula in it. Just let it be, let it do its magic, let it emerge from the unexpected.🥰
What struck me after listening to it over and over several times, the Rocky main theme, is that it is actually a disco styled song. I had never noticed that back in the day. Clearly when you listen to the cymbals that the drummer is playing, it's disco. Not surprising as it is the first of two blockbuster movies that the sound track was what really pushed the success of the movie. The second being Saturday Night Fever which came out the very next year after Rocky.
There's a disco version of this theme, just type in 'Rocky Theme Disco Version'; there are 2 such videos, with slight differences. Listen also to the 'Bill Conti-Overture' video (8:38 min) for a disco dance segment within this extended piece.
writerforlifeify Interesting. Yet even the original version is disco.
Yeah, I guess so....but those disco versions are sooo cool. I love that sound; my favorite 70s tv theme is the funky, disco-flavored 'Baretta' theme with Sammy Davis Jr on vocals. Also check out 'Going the Distance--Orchestral Version'. Bill Conti truly is a freaking genius. Sly was blessed to find him & smart to hire him back in the day.
That was the music style of the time the very first hit remake of Gonna Fly now it's from Trumpeter and jazz musician the late Maynard Ferguson which is really good and it's very heavy disco just to tell you.
Motivación en sus canciones.
😀
4:33 thanks for the nugget Mr Conti
well without you mr Bill Rocky wouldn't be Rocky
Eu uso essa música para correr na esteira… é impressionante como o coração pede pra correr mais e mais
Massa mesmo
The sign of a genius, someone who makes something brilliant that in one minute is created out of nothing, seemingly effortlessly.
Bill is the man.
Lendário
Best OST ever
Maybe my favorite movie soundtrack
A real anthem forever
wooww never noticed the backward shot !
The irony of Barbra Streisand complimenting Mr. Conti is that at the 1977 Oscars her theme song from 'Star is Born' beat out "Gonna Fly Now" for the Oscar for best theme song. Go figure.
Congratulations. Excellent music channel. Won another subscriber .)
essa trilha é demais, mas a melhor é going the distance, do rocky 2
I agree with you Rafael.
Exato, torci pra ele falar sobre essa música, muito motivadora também
Que show, não conhecia esse documentário, existe ele completo com legenda?
Awesome!
check out my interview !
G.O.A.T.
This is so badass
what music bill got inspired to write rockys reward?
mandou bem
Bill Conti starts playing the theme on the piano and the editors decide that's the time to play the record instead. ;-/
Estranho um documentário brasileiro assim
Esta série é inglesa.
Bons tempos em que o GNT não era um canal de culinária ou com feministas falando merda...
composer was underpaid and for an was worked for an hour.
the Movie is garbage without the music
