The Karate Kid: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1984)

The Karate Kid: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the official soundtrack album to the 1984 cult classic film, The Karate Kid. Released on June 29, 1984, by Casablanca Records, the album is a definitive time capsule of the mid-80s pop-rock landscape. It is perhaps best known for spawning the massive crossover hit "Flashdance... What a Feeling," performed by Irene Cara, and for featuring the synth-driven anthem "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito.

While the film told the underdog story of Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi, the soundtrack provided the emotional heartbeat, blending high-energy montage music with softer, introspective ballads. Karate Kid Soundtrack 1984 Download
