“Naughty Naughty” was the name of John Parr’s first hit, which was particularly popular with rock radio stations in the USA. In 1985, he went on tour with his band The Business as the opening act for Toto. At the end of the tour, producer David Foster offered to provide the title song for the film “St. Elmo’s Fire”.
“St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” became a worldwide hit, earning Parr numerous awards and a Grammy nomination and still playing on the radio today.
He wrote “Under a Raging Moon” for Roger Daltrey, worked as a writer and producer with Marilyn Martin and Meat Loaf and for films such as “Restless Heart” (Running Man) and “The Minute I Saw You”. “The Best” is known from Gillette commercials.
John Parr has sold over 10 million albums and has shared the stage with Foreigner, Toto, Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Heart, Bonnie Tyler, Richard Marx and Journey.
