Featured Unknown/Underrated Song*: Maynard Ferguson and "Gonna' Fly Now"

While some radio stations were oddly obsessed with the much more boring original (they know who they are), they ignored this far better gem from Maynard Ferguson.  Ferguson's electrifying version only made it to #28.  That's OK, while Bill Conti's version is long since forgotten, we get to feature this one in The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs*:

By the way, you can now listen to this song at any time by clicking on the Unknown/Underrated Tab at the top of the web site.  It contains the first group of songs (because of the load time, it is necessary to split the category into several parts), with links to the other sections of the category.

Here is the direct link to that page which now contains this song:
