Joey Scarbury (born June 7, 1955) is an adult contemporary singer who had a massive hit song, “Theme From Greatest American Hero (Believe It or Not),” in 1981.
Although he had a minor chart single with “Mixed Up Guy” in 1971, real chart success eluded him for the rest of the decade. This was to change when he started working for producer and composer Mike Post. Post was hired along with Stephen Geyer to write the theme song for a new series dubbed The Greatest American Hero, about a high school teacher who comes into possession of a superhero outfit, and Scarbury was chosen to record it. An extended version of the song (3:15 compared to the television theme’s minute-long length), released by Elektra Records, shot up to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The only unredirectable item by this artist is Theme From "The Greatest American Hero" (Believe It Or Not), aside from some obscure early songs and LP tracks.
