Through the eye of the tiger : the rock 'n' roll life of Survivor's founding member

"'Hey, yo, Jim-- this is Sylvester Stallone. Give me a call.' It was these words that would set Jim Peterik on the road to rock'n'roll immortality. After he and his Survivor bandmates recorded "Eye of the Tiger" for the Rocky III soundtrack, the song would go on to earn a Grammy, an Oscar nomination, reach triple platinum status - and become one of the most recognizable tunes in music history ... As one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation, Peterik has co-written songs with some of the most famous bands and artists of our time, including 38 Special ... Sammy Hagar ... The Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick and many more ... [This] documents Jum's early days of success with The Ides of March ... through the often tortuous power struggles within Survivor, and the giddy highs that accompany a trail of worldwide hits ... a classic rock'n'roll story told through the eyes of someone who has lived through it all"--Publisher's description
