DiCola also pioneered the use of sequencers on his soundtrack recording for Rocky IV, one of the first to exploit the Fairlight CMI computer's sequencing capabilities. Awards In 1983, DiCola was a co-nominee for the Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special Grammy for co-writing the soundtrack of the movie Staying Alive, in spite of the poor critical reception of the film. He also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song - Motion Picture for the song Far From Over which he co-wrote with Frank Stallone for the same film. He received a Golden Raspberry Award for his 1986 work on the Rocky IV soundtrack. The song The Touch from the Transformers soundtrack won DiCola a 1986 Apex award for Best Original Song - Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror. Solo works DiCola released his first solo work in 1986, an album simply title Piano Solos. He later worked both as an arranger and performer on a 1991 multi-artist project called Artfully Beatles, which led him to release Artistically Beatles, an album of ten Beatles songs he arranged and performed, in 1993. An additional solo album called Falling off a Clef was released in 2004. In the same year he completed the soundtrack to the low-rated 2004 film Sci-Fighter. Other works Other than his solo work, DiCola has worked with various musical groups. He worked with the 5-piece rock band Storming Heaven in the mid 1990s releasing the 1996 album titled Life In Paradise. In addition to DiCola on keyboard, guitar and vocals, the Storming Heaven lineup included lead vocalist Rick Livingston, Jethro Tull drummer Doane Perry, guitarist Curtis Taylor, and keyboardist Casey Young. Around the same time in 1996, DiCola, Storming Heaven bandmate Perry, and Tower of Power vocalist Ellis Hall formed a soul/rock trio named Thread and released a self-titled album. In 2001, he worked again with Perry and released In-VINCE-ible!, a collection of diverse works from various past projects, with ex-members of Santana and Chicago assisting as session musicians, and featuring several special guests including Steve Walsh of Kansas and his Storming Heaven bandmates. DiCola appeared as keyboardist on the first Hughes Turner Project album,in 2003. He and Perry once again formed a trio, this time with bassist Paul Ill and called DPI, to release a 3-track EP called Found Objects in 2006. Previously the trio had worked with vocalist Vincent Kendall and guitarist Reeves Gabrels in releasing a 42-minute suite called Pity The Rich based on recordings made at the same time. The jam-session style recordings for these releases were originally intended to be part of a new DiCola solo instrumental release, but while editing the tracks in his home studio DiCola felt they had the feel of a project for a band and chose to expand his original plan to include the other performers. In recent years, he has worked as a producer, programmer and musician on the solo albums of Rick Springfield, Raquel Aurilia, Kelly King and Glenn Hughes.
