Later recorded by Dusty Springfield for her 1990 album ‘Reputation’.
Dear, tremendous subject, of a great interpreter, and moreover inscribed in one of my classic series of the 80s, who did not remember the great sony crokett and his suits, along with his vehicles. I remember the participation of other greats on screen like Phil Collins.
Contribution is appreciated
I used to watch Miami Vice back in the 80’s, it was shown on BBC 1 in the UK. The computer game Grand Theft Auto Vice City was also influenced by the show of course.
Thanks Paul, for this Gladys Knight & The Pips 12” 🙂
You’re welcome, Marco 🙂
OMG! What can I say? As a MV fan, I’m speechless. Never have the extended version in lossless format! Once again…Thank you so much Paul for filling another gap in my MV collection!

You’re welcome, Kent 🙂
Based on the flip-side, it looks as if Christmas is coming early! Actually, it feels like Christmas all year because of all the musical presents we get from you dear Paul! Thanks so much for everything you do!
Not sure I know this song, but I like Gladys Knight. So interesting though that the song wasn’t included on the show. Wonder what the reason was? Looking forward to hearing it though. Hope you have a nice day Paul!!

The song’s instrumentation sounds a lot like “Papa Don’t Preach” especially the drums very Stephen Bray. Hope you like it Jeff 🙂
