Top Gun
Harold Faltermeyer, Giorgio Moroder, Tom Whitlock, Mark Spiro
arr. Robert W. Smith
This medley of songs from the 1986 film, Top Gun was arranged by Robert W. Smith. It includes Top Gun Anthem by Harold Faltermeyer, Take My Breath Away and Danger Zone by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, and Mighty Wings by Harold Faltermeyer and Mark Spiro. While the original soundtrack is quintessentially 1980s with electronic synthesizers and guitars, Robert W. Smith created a fully acoustic arrangement that still holds the drama, adrenaline and swagger of the iconic movie classic.
