SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:45 Min.
Performed by Gladys Knight & Kenny Loggins, their duet appears on 1985’s Rocky IV film soundtrack.
REVIEW:
Considering the big names involved, “Double or Nothing” should be an appealing collaboration. In terms of their vocal chemistry, Knight & Loggins readily live up to their fame. Yet, the feel-good pop lyrics they’re stuck pitching are by no means special, let alone make sense, if applied to Rocky IV’s Rocky & Adrian Balboa. Despite the album being packed with testosterone-charged tunes, the classy sound of “Double or Nothing” blends into Rocky IV’s playlist well enough. Yet, the tune comes off as nothing more than a paycheck song.
