82 min • 27 februari 2025

This Throwback Thursday episode of Chris DeMakes A Podcast revisits Episode 143, originally released on February 20, 2023, featuring John Parr discussing the creation of his iconic 1985 hit, “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion).” While widely recognized from the St. Elmo’s Fire film soundtrack, the song was actually inspired by the remarkable journey of Paralympian Rick Hansen and his Man in Motion tour for spinal cord research. Parr breaks down the writing process, the star-studded recording sessions, and how this powerful anthem became a lasting symbol of perseverance and triumph.
