My mission to see all films scored by Levay continues with this 1984 "dance" film starring Lorenzo Lamas and directed by Marcelo Epstein, the only film he ever made. Levay worked on two songs, the uptempo title track by Maria Vidal, and a ballad sung by Lamas himself. Both tracks are on the scarce soundtrack album, which sadly doesn't feature any score material. I say "sadly" because Levay wrote several nice themes for the film, including a love theme, some sequencer-based material, and a theme which appears after 45 minutes of the film:

Anyone here who actually owns the album?
Was this film a flop when it was released 30 years ago?

Yep, the movie pretty much disappeared without a ripple. Everyone watched as the bubbles slowly subsided but no one lent a hand 
This isn't one I've had the... pleasure... of seeing, and have never heard any of the music, either. It is probably one Levay would prefer to forget too !
You never know...perhaps Sly had a jolly good time on this! ;-)
I would have loved to interview him about all his different scores, but no luck so far.
Take a listen to the scene I linked to if you want to hear a theme.

There are a few interviews with him in the liner notes from Airwolf Themes and Navy Seals, but nothing truly career-spanning.
Perhaps something for his 70th birthday next year? ;-)

I found the LP cheap in a second-hand shop and bought it. The Lorenze Lamas/Sylvester Levay-track is NOT on the album, I don't know why I stated that above.
Still a pity that no score appeared on the album.
