Eddy Grant – Romancing The Stone (US 12″)
Posted by DjPaulT on 3rd August 2011
BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
In 1984 Eddy Grant had a minor hit single in the US with his original song written to accompany the Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner film, Romancing the Stone. Despite being commissioned by the film’s producers, all but the guitar solo would be cut from the film during its final edit. The song did not appear on its soundtrack. Grant released the song as a single with the original video that featured scenes from the film until it was re-edited without the Romancing the Stone clips.
The song did appear on Grant’s 1984 album Going For Broke. In May of 1984 the single peaked at #26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #52 on the UK singles chart.
