Not that I know of. I ripped it from the DVD, but there’s still dialogue and sound effects. 

Yes I read it’s never been released on any album or single. I never realised Gilstrap was a backing singer on some of Stevie Wonder’s early 70s album and he also sung the opening lines on the Wonder Classic “You are the Sunshine of my Life” in 1972.

Following up on the list I posted about original songs...

It seems Eugene Smith's "Rock by Day/Roll by Night" wasn't just released as a single - it was also included on his album A New Beginning, released in 1987, the year after the episode featuring the track aired. And there's good news for anyone seeking a copy of the song - the album's just been re-released digitally via Amazon and iTunes.

Yes I saw that - that’s great news. Thankyou for your information :thumbsup:

Indeed! I searched “Jan Hammer rare” last night. I discovered that Crockett’s Theme video, and I found a video Jan made for Tubbs and Valerie! I had no idea the made one! 

It was posted by the same guy who made a very successful video with my “Brenda” cover (Steven Mighty):

Thank you for sharing! Maybe I've seen it, but can't remember. The girl in the video looks like Sara from the episode "Yankee Dollar."

Yeah, the lady in the video does heavily resemble Sara from "Yankee Dollar". Wishful thinking, but that might be her! :eek:

After having watched the video once again and compared with pics of her, I would definitely say it's her, Audrey Matson, a 100%! 

I like the voiceover and words it's well incorporated with Crockett's theme.

If it is her she had more screen time in that video than in the Miami Vice episode “Yankee Dollar”!:dance2::balloon::p

Currently listening to Glenn Frey's "Smuggler's Blues"

I swear, if you didn't know better you'd think this was written especially for the show.

The song was produced in 1984 before MV existed, but it sure does sound like MV inspired it.  In fact, the song inspired the episode:

Michael Mann:   “This show is a ball. It’s absolutely a blast. I mean, how else do you get to tell twenty-two stories a year? Or hear a song like ‘Smuggler’s Blues’ on the radio and say, ‘Wow, those lyrics are fantastic. Let’s do an episode on it.’ Think, Who knows this shit better than anybody? Mikey — you know, Miguel Piñero [the ex-convict who wrote Short Eyes]. Get him to write a script, have lunch with Glenn Frey two days later and ask him if he wants to play Jimmy, the pilot. Bang, it’s on the air in four weeks.”

I know, hence "if you didn't know better" :)

it feels more like it's from Manhunter. 

I always get that one confused with the Shriekback song "This Big Hush", which is in Manhunter lol.
