Vince DiCola Set Your Hearts on Fire and Is Far From Over!

This week, host & producer George Sirois sits down with film & video game music composer, performer, and arranger Vince DiCola. They discuss how Vince got into the music business, how his collaboration with Frank Stallone led to co-writing the hit song "Far From Over" for Staying Alive, how he went on to compose the score for the 1985 smash hit Rocky IV, how his work on the sequel caught the attention of Sunbow Productions who would approach him to create the score to 1986's TransFormers: The Movie, and more! 

This is Part 1 of their conversation. Part 2 will be recorded later this year for the Excelsior Journeys TransFormers: The Movie 35th Anniversary Retrospective Miniseries in August 2021.
