John Parr reached No. 1 on the US singles chart with “St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)” and remained at the top for two weeks. The song was written by David Foster and John Parr for the 1985 film of the same name and reached No. 6 in the UK. The story behind the song was inspired by Rick Hansen, who traveled around the world in a wheelchair during his “Man in Motion” journey, raising money for spinal cord injury research. Parr received a Grammy nomination for the song.
