Finally, "One of the Living" is available again. I liked it even better than "We Don't Need Another Hero". It's certainly worth the price of this CD.

It's incredible that we had to wait almost 20 years to buy this soundtrack on CD and it's also amazing that "One of the living" never appeared in any Tina Turner production.
The 2 songs that Tina recorded for this soundtrack were big, big hits in 1985 causing a war in the charts and award ceremonies between them.
"We don't need another hero" was written and produced by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle who also wrote Tina's #1 hit "What's love got to do with it". The single reached #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy award in 1986.
"One of the living" was produced by Mike Knight and Humberto Gatica. Knight was the producer of Tina's Grammy award winner, Top 5 hit "Better be good to me". The single won a Grammy award in 1986 for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and peaked at #15 on Billboard's Hot 100.
The three other songs were performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and were conduced and composed by Maurice Jarre.

I agree with everyone so far...that One Of The Living is probably the defining moment of the real Rock-n-Roll Tina !! I had the privilege of seeing her perform it in concert in 1987 and it was "Simply The Best" =) The video is awesome too(still gotta watch it regularly)...with the original Tina Band members and Tina at her rawest ! This album only has two original Tina songs on it, but these two are good enough to buy the album alone. Beyond Thunderdome hit # 2 on Billboard and One of the Living hit # 15 (should have been higher)
