April's Theme: Music from the Movies

I can't quite seem to find a direct answer about giving credit for this song to Badelt or Zimmer. Alan Silvestri was orignally approached to do the film's score, but differences between Silvestri and the films producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, resulted in Silvestri leaving the project. Zimmer was next in line, but was working on a project, The Last Samurai, with a contract that stated he was to take on no other jobs. The referral was made by Zimmer to Badelt.
Apparently, before all was said and done, the two collaborated on the work together. This song particularly was originally written by Zimmer, but his version was different from the final one released on the official soundtrack. Badelt made some changes, apparently. There is a pretty good quality live performance of the song that is a bit longer than the recorded version. I've posted it below.
