Robert Mitchum not only starred in 1958's "Thunder Road", but wrote and recorded the theme song, "The Ballad of Thunder Road". However, singer-songwriter Randy Sparks, later of the New Christy Minstrels, was heard in the movie performing the song. Mitchum's version, based on a Norwegian folk song, got some airplay as late as the 80's on country radio.
The video is a compilation of car chase scenes from the movie.
To my knowledge, it was Mitchum's only recording.
