Before "Eye of Tiger" became synonymous with Rocky and a slew of popular television commercials, the '80s rock band responsible for the hit, Survivor, suffered from a case of mistaken identity because there are not one, but two rock bands named Survivor. The band up for discussion here is not the Louisiana rock band of the same name that is responsible for virtually no hit tracks, but rather the Chicago group responsible for AOR single "Eye of the Tiger." Despite the smash success of the single that practically eclipses the band's other songs, don't dismiss Survivor as a one-hit wonder just yet.Survivor singer Jim Peterik was a mediocre Midwestern success story with Chicago swing band Idea of March ("Superman," "L.A. Goodbye") before he joined forces with guitarist Frankie Sullivan and lead singer Dave Bickler to form Survivor in 1979. The group's debut LP, which included minor sensation "Somewhere in America," was followed up by 1981's Premonition. Survivor's sophomore album spawned a Top 40 hit with "Poor Man's Son" and shortly after Sylvester Stallone came knocking with a request to put "Eye of the Tiger" on the Rocky III soundtrack. The single spent six weeks at the top of the charts and landed Survivor another soundtrack spot, this time for "The Moment of Truth," which appeared in Karate Kid. Jimi Jamison replaced Dave Bickler as lead singer in 1985 and the band came back with Vital Signs, an album equipped with two popular singles, "High on You" and "The Search is Over." Stallone took the bait again and placed Survivor on the soundtrack for Rocky IV with "Burning Heart." Although the success of Survivor petered out in the later 1980s, the band will continue to live on in Rocky movie marathons for eternity.
