A certified pop hit, Meat Loaf’s composer, and still-unreleased Ry Cooder music set the tone for the slick neo-noir
Fresh from making Eddie Murphy a star in the hit buddy cop comedy 48 Hrs., Walter Hill , a filmmaker known for genre flicks about men doing a lot of manly shit, had the idea to do, according to the opening credits, a “rock and roll fable” set in “another time, another place.” In Streets Of Fire , a rock goddess named Ellen Aim gets kidnapped by rowdy motorcycle gang The Bombers , and it’s up to Aim’s badass ex Tom Cody to save her.
The Sorels also do an acapella version of “Countdown to Love,” with Jackson lip-synching Winston Ford’s vocals. Veteran singer/keyboardist Greg Phillinganes performs the tune with a full band on the soundtrack. California rock band The Blasters, who turned down a chance to appear in 48 Hrs., appears as the resident band at Torchie’s, the Bombers’ hangout.
