40 years ago this week, "Miami Vice Theme" by #JanHammer reached the top spot, replacing "Part-Time Lover" by #StevieWonder after 1 week. The video uses a similar idea to "Axel F", but I think this one is done much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nPTZqnIfFM #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

If you wonder why Police Quest 3 soundtrack is so awesome on Roland MT-32 or CM-32L then look at the credits: Jan Hammer.
Yes. That's the same Jan Hammer that composed music for Miami Vice. His score for the game is credited on Wikipedia too:
