Opinion

The score and all the 'pop' songs on the soundtrack were written or supervised by emmy award winning Canadian composer/producer David Foster who also contributed to several other 80's Movies Like "The Secret Of My Success".

In addition to the soundtrack work by David Foster, there is one track by Elefante which is a studio band built around Jon Elefante one time lead vocalist for Kansas. They later recorded under the name Mastadon(which included Dave Amato of REO Speedwagon). [Thanks to Kent]Update Us


Song Trivia

Rewind Archive
Singer John Parr, who co-wrote and sung the title song "St. Elmo's Fire" for the soundtrack, explained during a speech at the Childrens choice awards in Sheffield that he was "not particularly thrilled" to be working on the film and that, motivation for the song actually came from a young man who had recently become paralyzed, Canadian wheelchair athlete Rick Hanson, who wheeled around the world to raise money for spinal cord research. He said that "the wheels" of the Man in Motion referenced in the lyrics was popularly thought to mean the wheels of Demi Moore's jeep, but actually refers instead to those of a wheelchair.

Opinion

This was David Foster's first movie score assignment, but he had previously penned and produced many pop hits.

The psuedo classical theme from the movie, "Georgetown", will be very familiar --even to those who haven't seen the movie!Update Us
