The CD soundtrack for the film features a different track entitled High Life/Proud Theme, and it is unclear if this specific arrangement actually appears in the movie. The song was composed by award-winning producer Quincy Jones, his frequent co-writer Rod Temperton, and arranger Jeremy Lubbock. All three were nominated for the Academy Award for Original Music Score in 1985 for their work on this soundtrack.More arrangements by Daryl McKenzie: https://bit.ly/2VKpOXFContact the Arranger: https://mckenziemusicproductions.com/contactYoutube Playlist: https://bit.ly/3m0oUkHPlease share any audio or video performances of this work.Instagram tag: @darylmckenziejazzorchestraFacebook tag: @McKenzieMusicProductionsYoutube tag: @mckenziemusicproductions144
