Menken worked as a composer on films as far removed from Rocky as could be such as Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid”. In 1991, “Measure of a Man” received a Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst Original Song. Song Lyrics - The autumn sun Warmed the sand Of the river running dry And around the gums Dads and mums Lay with dogs Under open skies And let the days slip. The song’s music and lyrics were written by composer Alan Menken who won an Academy Award for Best Song with “Colors of the Wind” from Walt Disney’s Pocahontas. The lyrics to this song truly vocalize Rocky’s plight and when teamed with Elton’s performance, “Measure of a Man” closes Rocky V in style.Įlton John actually had no part in the composition of the track, a departure from his usual method of musical production.
#MEASURE OF A MAN SONG SERIES#
Perhaps the most surprising track on the album is Elton John’s “Measure of a Man”, which is reserved for the end credits, sung over a series of black and white still photos covering the entire Rocky series up through Rocky V.

Interspersed between these contemporary tunes are smatterings of Bill Conti’s original Rocky themes such as “Mickey” and “Gonna Fly Now”, as well as an updated 90’s version of Frank Stallone’s classic “Take You Back”.
