For all you Miami Vice fans out there

I'll admit it, I loved "Heartbeat" back in the day. It was pure 80s schmaltz, along with Jack Wagner's "All I Need". TV stars singing, it was hit or miss, and the hit was usually one time, and the miss was epic when it happened.

I remember that... Prefer Sheena Easton songs from Miami Vice...

Edward James Olmos was the lead singer of a rock band called Pacific Ocean that released an album in 1968. He went by the name Eddie James.

I recently bought the Miami Vice boxset, it was a great show and some had cool guest stars However, I didn't like the film version.

Also I really liked that song Don Johnson did with Barbra Streisand (when they dated back in the 80s) called Till I Loved You (1988)

I guess you didn't know PMT was a member of The Gap Band either.

(It's really from a movie called Death Drug. Tubbs is dating the Fresh Prince's mom. )

Thanks for the memory (wasn't that a Barbra song?) LOL I totally forgot about this one... Funny Barbra was my first musical she-ro when I saw her on TV at four or five years old singing "Don't Rain On My Parade" on the tugboat from Funny Girl. It was our first color TV...

And what about Phillip Michael's performance in the classic film Sparkle (1976) with Irene Cara.......I also didn't like the re-make. I love this song
