It wasn\u2019t until a bit later that Tepper started to get recognition as a song writer with his first top 40 hit recorded by Paul Anka, <em>This Is Love<\/em>. The song went on to earn an ASCAP award for its popularity that year and broke the top 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moving to New York City, he teamed up with fellow singer Benny Mardones to help with his hit album <em>Never Run, Never Hide. <\/em>On that record was the iconic song <em>Into The Night<\/em>. In 2010 Usher released his own version of the song with a new dynamic arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was in 1985 when Robert landed his first record deal with Scotti Brothers Records &#8211; a subsidiary of CBS. In the studio Tepper was very fortunate to have hired the expertise of grammy awarded producer Joe Chiccarelli who is known for his work with U2, Beck, Elton John and many more. In 1985 Tepper also&nbsp;moved to Los Angeles. It was about this time that actor and director Sylvester Stallone was taken by the song Tepper had written called <em>No Easy Way Out<\/em>. Prominently featured in the film franchise <em>Rocky <\/em>the song climbed the charts into the American top 40. Stallone, now a Tepper fan, used his song <em>Angel of the City <\/em>in his classic movie <em>Cobra <\/em>giving Tepper the title of the soundtrack kid. Also, Pat Benatar\u2019s recording of <em>La Bel Age <\/em>off of <em>Seven The Hard Way <\/em>was another Tepper Marshall composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1996 the album <em>No Rest For The Wounded Heart <\/em>was released by MTM Music exclusively for Europe. More recently he released an album that was categorized as an acoustic record with an electric tinge in the early 2000\u2019s called <em>New Life Story<\/em>. After a long lay off of live performances it was soon after the release of <em>New Life<\/em> <em>Story <\/em>that Tepper started doing shows in Europe. It was there that he met guitarist extraordinaire Pablo Padilla. Padilla, who is one of the premier guitarists in Spain, was soon to continue his musical journey in Los Angeles. Here he became Tepper\u2019s music supervisor for all of his shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Robert Tepper album <em>Better Than The Rest <\/em>is a true collaboration between Tepper and Padilla. The writing and recording and mixing of this record took approximately a year. Tepper\u2019s music has appeared in such hit films and TV shows such as South Park, Breaking Bad, Cobra, Rocky 4, and Get Hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ROBERT TEPPER - Better Than The Rest (Official Audio)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BIlBFzCkcuA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Web: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roberttepperworld.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.roberttepperworld.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Tepper, hailing from Bayonne, New Jersey, came up in the late 60\u2019s playing in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[642,640,641],"class_list":["post-11663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-no-way-out","tag-robert-tepper","tag-rocky-iv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11663"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11666,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11663\/revisions\/11666"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
