Natasha Bedingfield to record Rocky song

Natasha Bedingfield's rise to fame in the US has catapulted after Sylvester Stallone requested her musical talents. The British singer has been personally asked by Stallone to sing the theme tune for his new Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa. Natasha was said to be gobsmacked when Stallone approached her at a party in Los Angeles. "She found it hard to believe that a legend like Sly had heard of her," a source told The Sun newspaper. "But he even asked to have his photo taken with her. It was a genuine offer and she had signed a proper recording contract within days." Rocky Balboa will be the sixth in the Rocky series and is expected to be released at Christmas time in America.
