Hits List: Survivor

Survivor includes Jim Peterik, who sang vocals on the #1 hit for the Ides of March, "Vehicle" in 1970.  The group received one of those once-in-a-lifetime breaks when actor Sylvestor Stallone contacted them about writing a song for his upcoming movie Rocky III.  Survivor was on the map and they made the most of it.  Here is their complete Hits List:
