JOHN PARR – The Best / St. Elmo’s Fire 2014

*

This one is for ’80 freaks: finally, after years of unceasing requests by fans, JOHN PARR has made available for the first time ever his song “The Best”.
Also known as ‘The Best A Man Can Get’, the track was penned by Parr as soundtrack / single for a Gillette razor ad during the Eighties, but never before released or broadcasted in its entirety.
Written by Parr in collaboration with Jake Holmes (author of Zeppelin’s Dazed & Confused), the song / commercial made a great impact worldwide, turning ‘Gillette Atra’ the best selling razor of its time.
If you like the typical AOR tune with an ‘Eighties soundtrack feel’ you must have this song, specially recommended for workout / bodybuilding!

John Parr has not been quiet lately. After his recent full length CD’s The Mission and Letter To America, the man has re-recorded (again) his biggest hit “St. Elmo’s Fire (Unplugged 2014)”.
The song, used for the movie of the same name, was originally written by Canadian hit-maker David Foster in honor to Paralympian athlete Rick Hansen who in 1985 began a 26-month, 34-country wheelchair trek to raise money and awareness for spinal injuries.
He called it the ‘Man In Motion Tour’, and Parr along with Foster re-wrote the song with the lyrics reworked to be featured in the movie. That’s why the track is subtitled “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man In Motion)”.

But there’s more: “Naughty, Naughty”, the hit from Parr’s debut album has been as well recently re-recorded by John.
AOR fanatics; you are advised.
