The "Miami Vice" soundtrack was a mix of both popular hits and original compositions, often featuring moody synths and a distinctly '80s new wave sound. Some of the show's most iconic songs were performed by artists like Phil Collins, Jan Hammer, and Glenn Frey, whose "Smuggler's Blues" was even co-written by the show's creator, Anthony Yerkovich.
One of the most enduring musical moments from the show was its opening theme song, composed by Jan Hammer. With its steady electronic beat and catchy melody, the theme song perfectly captured the show's blend of action and drama. The theme song even became a hit in its own right, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985.
Another standout track from the show was Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight," which featured prominently in the pilot episode's infamous car chase scene. The song's haunting drum beat and Collins' powerful vocals made it the perfect accompaniment to the show's thrilling action sequences.
Other memorable tracks from the show include Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City," which played over the opening credits of season two, and Peter Gabriel's "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)," which was used to great effect in a climactic scene of season three.
The music of "Miami Vice" remains popular to this day, with many fans of the show still regularly listening to the soundtrack. Its blend of '80s new wave, pop, and rock music perfectly captured the show's tone and vibe, and helped to make "Miami Vice" one of the most iconic TV shows of the era.
