I am very thrilled to speak with my guest today, Academy and Emmy Award winning Film Composer and Conductor, Bill Conti! He is best known for his film scores including Rocky, The Karate Kid, For Your Eyes Only, Dynasty and the Right Stuff which earned him an Academy Award for Best Original Score. He was music director at the Academy Awards a record nineteen times. It was announced in June 2020 that Conti had donated his original scores to Louisiana State University.
