by Alan Menken
Go the Distance was written by Alan Menken, composed for Disney’s 1997 animated film Hercules with lyrics by David Zippel. In the film, “Go the Distance” is performed by Hercules’s singing voice Roger Bart, while Michael Bolton recorded a pop version for the soundtrack and single release. The song received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song and has remained a popular inspirational ballad in Disney’s catalogue and in Michael Bolton’s repertoire.
