Composers Jan Hammer and Tim Truman composed an excellent soundtrack for the TV series Miami Vice (1984-1990), which was one of my favorite programs when I was a kid. I have selected some of the best songs from original music and musical supervision. Enjoy!
“Miami Vice Instrumental Theme”
“The Talk”
“One Way Out”
“Flashback”
“Chase”
Free Verse (Suite)
Generally, hundreds of songs make a great soundtrack you can’t get bored of. Many of them can be found on YouTube and scenes from the TV series. Famous songs have been chosen to illustrate the film.
