The song "Never Surrender" won a Juno Award in 1985 for "Single of the Year" and reached #3 on the U.S. Hot 100 (#1 for one week, sales only.) John 'Porcell' Porcelly (a.k.a. Paramananda Das) (Born February 3, 1967) is an American musician, graphic designer and yoga instructor.

Michael Dobbs, Baron Dobbs (born 14 November 1948) is a British Conservative politician and best-selling author, most notably for his "House of Cards" trilogy. Never Surrender is a novel by Michael Dobbs, based on historical events of the first few weeks of May 1940.  It is a sequel to Dobbs' novel, "Winston's War," which is based on the events surrounding the demise of Neville Chamberlain and the appointment of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. Stan Bush is an American singer-songwriter and musician whose most notable works include the songs "The Touch" and "Dare" from the soundtrack to the 1986 animated film "", "Hearts vs. Heads" from the soundtrack to the 1986 action/supernatural film "The Wraith", and "She's Got the Power", featured in the American voice dub of the animated series "Sailor Moon".  He also had one track on the children's album "Take My Hand – Songs from the 100 Acre Wood" entitled "That's What Tiggers Do Best," released in 1995.

Never Surrender is the sixth studio album by Canadian hard rock band Triumph, released in 1982.  The album reached #26 on the Billboard Albums chart assisted by the singles "All the Way", "A World of Fantasy" and "Never Surrender" which hit #2, #3 and #23, respectively, on the Billboard's Mainstream Top Rock Tracks chart in 1983.  Interestingly, "All the Way" (the third of the three tracks to chart), was Triumph's highest charting song on the Top Rock Tracks chart, but did not sustain that level of popularity with Triumph fans as the song is not included on their 1985 live album "Stages", the later "Classics" (a Greatest Hits album) or 2005's "Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology" album. "Never Surrender" is a song by Canadian singer Corey Hart.  It was released in June 1985 as the first single from his second album, "Boy in the Box".

Former Vocalist Mattie Montgomery left to join the band For Today in 2007.  The band was supposed to do a Super Mario Bros. 3 cover for the game, but it is uncertain if that happened or not.  The band played on the Blood and Ink Fest, along with, xLooking Forwardx, Burden of a Day, and Saints Never Surrender. "Fool's Overture" is the closing track from Supertramp's 1977 album "Even in the Quietest Moments...".  Written and sung by guitarist/keyboardist Roger Hodgson, the song is a collage of progressive instrumentation and sound samples.  First there are excerpts of Winston Churchill's famous 4 June 1940 House of Commons speech regarding Britain's involvement in World War II ("Never Surrender"), and later sounds of police cars and bells from the London's Big Ben clock tower are heard.  The flageolet-sounding instrument plays an excerpt from Gustav Holst's "Venus", from his orchestral suite "The Planets".  There is also a reading of the first verse of William Blake's poem "And did those feet in ancient time" (more commonly known as "Jerusalem"), ended by a short sample of the band's song "Dreamer".
