Notes[]

The song "Heartbeat" is apparently a personal favorite of Michael Mann's. As well as appearing in Miami Vice, it was also used over the closing credits to Mann's 1986 Hannibal Lecter movie Manhunter, which featured Miami Vice guest stars Garcelle Beauvais (from "Give a Little, Take a Little" and "The Maze"), Bill Cwikowski (from "No Exit"), Chris Elliott (from "Down for the Count (Part II)"), Dennis Farina (from "One Eyed Jack", "Lombard" and "World of Trouble"), Kim Griest (from "Nobody Lives Forever"), Michele Shay (from "Theresa" and "Badge of Dishonor"), Bill Smitrovich (from "Brother's Keeper" and "The Prodigal Son") and Jim Zubiena (from "Calderone's Return (Part I)"). Miami Vice regular Michael Talbott also had a small role in the film, although his single scene was deleted from the theatrical cut of the movie.
The group's album was produced by Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Mike + The Mechanics.
The only song strictly called "Heartbeat" that hit the Billboard Top 40 was by Don Johnson in 1986.
