EDDY GRANT

Although Eddy Grant’s song Romancing The Stone, used to promote the film, wasn’t quite as big a hit as British soul singer Billy Ocean’s When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going (used in Romancing the Stone sequel Jewel of the Nile), it got Grant a lot of exposure and his songs have been widely used in films and TV shows ever since, featuring on the likes of Family Guy, Knocked Up, Horrible Bosses 2 and Bates Motel. Grant, now 71, is still going strong, and recently released his 17th album.

ALAN SILVESTRI

Composer Silvestri had thus far only scored a handful of low budget B-movies, before Romancing The Stone came along and gave him a shot at the big time. His memorably melodic and rousing music led to jobs for big Hollywood studios, and further collaborations with Robert Zemeckis, notably on Back To the Future, Forrest Gump and The Polar Express, the latter two nabbing him Oscar nominations. He also scored Avengers: Endgame, which is fast on its way to making $2.5billion at the box office.

ROMANCING THE STONE is available to buy on DVD and Digital Download
