The official soundtrack to the 1977 biographical film The Greatest, chronicling the life and career of Muhammad Ali, is a collaborative creation by American composer and producer Michael Masser alongside arranger Lee Holdridge. The album merges soul, orchestral themes, and African-influenced rhythmic arrangements designed to underscore key moments in Ali's life, spanning from his 1960 Olympic victory to the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" fight against George Foreman in Zaire.
A central highlight of the release is the original recorded debut of "The Greatest Love of All", performed by vocalist and guitarist George Benson with lyrics written by Linda Creed. George Benson also contributes lead vocals to two distinct arrangements of "I Always Knew I Had It in Me", featuring lyrics by Gerry Goffin. The instrumental narrative is bolstered by the high-energy chant piece "Ali Bombaye (Zaire Chant)", crafted in collaboration with the funk group Mandrill, as well as cinematic orchestral variations arranged by Michael Masser.
