William "Bill" Conti (born April 13, 1942) is an American composer and conductor best known for his film scores, including Rocky (and four of its sequels), For Your Eyes Only, Dynasty, and The Right Stuff, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Original Score. He also received nominations in the Best Original Song category for "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky and for the title song of For Your Eyes Only. He has served as musical director at the Academy Awards a record nineteen times.
Conti, an Italian American, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, the son of Lucetta and William Conti. He graduated from North Miami High School in 1959. He is a past winner of the Silver Knight Award presented by the Miami Herald. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University, and also studied at the Juilliard School of Music.
His big break into celebrity came in 1976, when he was hired to compose the music for a small United Artists film called Rocky. The film became a phenomenon. Conti's training montage tune, "Gonna Fly Now", topped the Billboard singles chart in 1977, and earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. The film won three Oscars at the 49th Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The same ceremony was also the first time Conti served as musical director for the Academy Awards, which he has done 18 times subsequently, more than anybody else.

How far Ill fly
Napoleon Movie 1995
Music by Bill Conti
Threes a new world out there,
Coming to find me
Everythings waiting up ahead
Nothings behind me,
If I dont dream
If I dont try,
How will I know how far ill fly?
Im high flying and free
Theres a sun rising for me,
There may be cities beyond the roof tops
Oceans beyond the seas
Ill fly out to a far away sky,
No one has travelled so far
Out to a far away star
Maybe farther.
Theres a new world out there,
Coming to find me
Everythings waiting up ahead
Nothings behind me,
If I dont dream
If I dont try,
How will I know how far ill fly?
There may be mountain peaks,
I want to slide down,
There may be rivers fast and wide
I want to ride down
If I dont dream
If I dont try
How will I know how far ill fly.
