Feature 80's Song of the Week = 'No Easy Way Out' by Robert Tepper (1985)

This weeks first feature 80's song is the 1985 release song No Easy Way Out by American singer Robert Tepper. According to his wikipedia page he is best known for this song and its appearance on the Rocky IV motion picture soundtrack, which was also released in 1985. Robert Tepper was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, and he started his early-career in New York where he worked as a staff writer. He moved to Los Angeles in the mid 1980's and signed with the Scotti Brothers (same record label that signed acts such as James Brown, Survivor, and Weird Al Yankovic). It is said that Sylvester Stallone was really impressed with No Easy Way Out and thus it was included in the movie soundtrack. It would peak at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. So there it is, and stay tuned for I might just do a second random 80's feature song this week.
