Red 7 was an American rock band whose song "Heartbeat" appeared in the episode "Nobody Lives Forever" of the series Miami Vice.
Career[]
Red 7 was a short-lived side project for Genesis bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford, the group included fellow members Gene Stashuk (lead singer/guitar), Michael Becker (keyboards, backing vocals) and Paul Rivelli (drums, backing vocals). Rutherford produced two albums; 1985's Red 7 (featuring "Heartbeat" and "Less Then Perfect", included in the movie Explorers), and 1987's When The Sun Goes Down, before the group was disbanded.
Notes[]
- Red 7 were apparently something of a favorite of Michael Mann's, particularly their song "Heartbeat" -- 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.
