Hey people of the Knight Rider forum? I have not been on here in long long time. My question is to all KR fans young and old, Does any have any idea what the name of the melody witch was played in
Soul Survivor? And possibly the artist? I got all the Vangelis CD's and still no luck. Please if any one knows plz let me know
I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I dont believe its an actual song but then I could be wrong. I always thought it sounded to be a song that they just produced for that episode. It always sounded a little Knight Riderish to me.

It was a song written for the episode by Don Peake, the composer for most of the Knight Rider epsidoes.

Thanks for the responses. To bad there is no way to get a hold of Don Peake to find out if in fact he composed or if he knows the artist. thanks again for the people that tried to answer. "May Knight Rider live forever"
p.s. to everyone who reads this. I wish they get that new movie out already. My patience is running thin.

If you notice the first few episodes that Don Peake scored (toward the end of the first season) had a little more of an orchestra sound, I guess he was trying to keep up with the Stu Phillips way of scoring an episode. But as soon as the second season began that is when he changed over to the synthesizers.

Don Peake has been very involved with the Knight Rider fandom. He's been to several of the Knight Registries gatherings and will be there again this year, and even was at the KnightCon convention in Germany last summer. He gets asked the Soul Survivor question a lot and yes, he did compose it. He told me it's one of the most frequently requested episodes to be released on CD, so if he comes out with another volume I'm sure it will be high on his list.
