While Loverboy made their name as a hard rock band with such hits as "Turn Me Loose", "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" and, of course, "Working for the Weekend", they soon showed a real talent for the power ballad. Nowhere was this more evident, or successful, than their 80's soundtrack work.
The most famous example is actually a duet between Mike Reno and Ann Wilson of Heart, not a Loverboy performance. It is "Almost Paradise" from the "Footloose" soundtrack.
The next song IS a Loverboy performance, "Heaven In Your Eyes" from the "Top Gun" soundtrack.
Bonus:
Although it is not a soundtrack cut, here is "This Could Be The Night", Loverboy's first power ballad. True 80's.
What the hell, here's "Working for the Weekend", too.
Was that Will Ferrell on guitar?
