It was an eight oβclock PM recording session. Those five guys had worked all day. We were at Capitol recording studios, Bill Conti was the conductor. There were four trumpets, some trombones, it was just a brass section recording session. The strings had already been recorded, so we heard the strings through the cans.}}</ref> * [[Frank Stallone]] β vocals (2, 3, 6) * DeEtta Little, Nelson Pigford β vocals (8) * Mike Lang β piano (5) * Ray Pizzi β saxophone (3) * [[Jerry Hey]] β trumpet (3) * [[Vincent DeRosa]] β French horn (5) * Henry Sigismonti β brass * Rich Perissi β brass * [[Arthur Maebe]] β brass * Dave Duke β brass * Paul Neuffer β brass The version of "Eye of the Tiger" that appears in the film is actually a demonstration recording; the "finished" version is what appears on the soundtrack.
