Roger Daltrey – Hearts Of Fire (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Hearts of Fire” was the first single taken from the seventh solo studio album “Can’t Wait To See The Movie” by The Who frontman Roger Daltrey. “Hearts Of Fire” was the only single from the album to chart reaching #88 on the UK singles chart.

“Hearts of Fire”, was written by Russ Ballard. Ballard played guitar on this track, as well as providing backing vocals.

The flip-side includes an exclusive remix of “Quicksilver Lightning” which was written by Dean Pitchford and composed by Giorgio Moroder. The track is the theme song for the 1986 film Quicksilver starring Kevin Bacon, Jami Gertz, Paul Rodriguez, Louie Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, and Rudy Ramos. The film was directed by Thomas Michael Donnelly. The film went quite unnoticed, so both the song and the film are not easily remembered.

The song was released as a single in April 1986, and was a minor success on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts, reaching number 11.
