Don Johnson was a highly underrated singer. For a guy who was an actor, he sounded pretty good. Much better than any of the slack ass singers of today.
Don has been singing since his young teen years and had even formed a couple of bands as well as performing in musical theatre . He has probably got more musical ability than most
Were you around when the song was released? He certainly did get the credit he deserved. It was a Top 5 hit in America and in a lot of other countries, and he was named "best new vocalist of 1986." It was in heavy rotation on MTV and radio stations for some time. The Heartbeat album was certified Gold and he had some pretty legendary musicians play on the record (besides Dweezil -- Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ron Wood of the Stones, Willie Nelson, Bill Champlin of Chicago, and Dickie Betts to name a few).
He had one more hit, which was "Till I Loved You" with Barbra Streisand, peaking #25 on Hot 100. His second album "Let It Roll" failed to chart here in the States while was successful in Europe. So he was a one album wonder whilst a two hit wonder in the States. If anyone else who does not get enough credit, that would be Jennifer Rush, who would cover "Till I Loved You" in UK. Her only hit here in the States was "Flames Of Paradise" with Sir Elton John.
I had two jackets in Miami Vice style, watched it every Friday night, got the soundtrack, this album and his second album in high school. I regret nothing!
I'm 18 and i cant believe too... Recently i watched Miami Vice(all 5 seasons), and now i found out that it is DJ song. I hear it many times playing GTA 5, its mindblowing really
Indeed, I got into 80's music thanks to GTA Vice City when I was in my very early teens. And the side effect of that made me grow my hair and by the age of 16 I was a hair metal rocker and has been that ever since.
IDK why people mock this, its a legit 80s song. I know we collectively hate it when actors try to have singing careers but his voice is decent and the song is good.
the 80's was the best..... best shows, best movies, best music, best cartoons, best sex, best drugs..... hold up, scratch that last one...... best era for ninja and martial arts best looking punks [seriously] best gangs....... [record skips] eh, okay maybe not.....

Pathetic. Desperate for internet likes. Every single music video on the internet that is older than 20 years old has 'way better than today's music!'. Can't you idiots come up with anything original? There's plenty of good music being made today.
@@renemarie5936 ah I forgot your two daughters shared the same opinion as every single other person in the world. Do you know how stupid that is? All that proves is that you failed to teach your kids to have an open mind, and that they're too dumb to search for good new music, of which there is an obscene amount. When people say 'my faviorute music is from the 80s', what they're usually saying is 'i listen to pop music from the 80s that was already popular so I don't have to put any effort in to finding my own music'. Good luck to you and your daughter's on your hereditary closed mindedness.
Yes I love watching Miami Vice reruns! I think he was hot back then. I asked my mom that was in her 30s back then if she thought he was good looking she said no cause he thought he was all that back then. Haha! Now she says she can't stand Justin Beiber be cause he thinks he's all that! Yep! My mom maybe 71 but she can always spot em! Haha! He was still hot tho!
Detective Sonny Crockett looking for a heartbeat. They should have used this song in Miami Vice! Don Johnson set the fashion trends in the 1980s and also helped launch the careers of so many celebrities including Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, and Liam Nelson! Back then talent ruled the airwaves!
Did you know: Don Johnson (Miami Vice) actually saved Ray-ban* sunglasses from bankruptcy. He was the definition of cool. Always will be. To me at least.
I definitely bought my Ray-ban sunglasses because of Don and Miami Vice. They weren't expensive at all ($35) and I had to have my eyeglass prescription placed into them.
@@fsddevelopment4513 : I definitely beg to differ. Tom wore them in one film. Johnson wore them in a TV show that has become a classic representation of the 80's.
I was a radio personality in 1986 when this came out. Here I am still rocking to it in 2020. I got in trouble with my program director for playing this too often.
Better this than some of the other cfrap that was out then. That said, I'm a radio guy, too, but I was on a progressive rock and then a country station through the '80s, so I missed this completely. Worth knowing....
I kept seeing this on repeat in Israel, along with Fairground (Simply Red), When You Come Undone (Duran Duran), and Didi (Khaled). Quite the assortment. I can't remember whether it was Israel One or Amman One/Two. I'm leaning toward Amman though. Did you program for Jordan TV?
Martin u better than the Djs playing stuff on Radio Stations now u hear the same one or two songs playlists are short limited knowledge don't matter what genre or era that Station plays weather it's a huge minor or whatever hit
Don Johnson was the damn man in the 80's!!He was just to damn cool as Sonny Crockett!!I've always been a fan of how hard and tough he was as a cop!His wardrobe on that show was badass to go with the attitude he had!!Still watch Miami Vice with my wife on a weekly basis!Way ahead of it's time back then!!
This song has always fascinated me. He has this massive key change halfway through, goes back down to the original key, then goes back up again. It's something else.
Is it, though? I mean, yes, it’s a challenge, and he did it, but, just look at the bigger picture here…the day an actor makes an album, is always, the beginning of the end. Let’s just be real.
@@iamasmurf1122 I would agree, that the career move, was total crap. The song itself, not great, but there were worse songs, at the time. He can sing, to some degree, and this technically proves it, but does he have a “rock” voice, no. He should have done some broadway shit, instead. But actors are never known for their humility, or their ability to see the bigger picture, now are they…
I immediately get transferred by to the 80's Everytime this song comes on the radio. I bought the cassette first day it came out in Sam Goody store at the mall I worked at. Say whatever you want, but Don Johnson can sing. The1980's were, and still are, THE BEST DECADE EVER!
@@cheril8891 yeah it was a Miami Vice episode they changed the name in the episode to East High. Our school is actually Miami Jackson Sr High. The school was rebuilt in the mid 2000s. The building in that episode is the football field now.
He's got a great voice and a great actor also. Miami Vice is one of my all time shows that I loved watching back in the day when I lived in Florida at the time. And have the complete series on DVD as well. God Bless Don Johnson and your family.
Im 15 i was born in 2003 I wish i was born in the 80's😔 I hate todays world the music is trash nothing but stupid rap its all sucks. I loved the music back then it was so amazing i listen to all these tracks insteed of todays music. Everything looked so nice back then the people, the environment everything was just so nice 😔
@@vSyren I was born in the 60s and a teenager in the 80s. I miss those days. Music is so shit now. Only Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and rap rap rap. I don't listen to modern music. I don't listen to the oldies too much as well because it spoils them if you hear them too much (you hear them in super markets in the background today). Now and then I binge the old songs when I'm in the mood for them.
Kaiha Hemara He’s a guy, sweetie. What we love in music is so subjective, just like what we love in men. I love some grit in a man’s voice and Mr. Johnson certainly has that, speaking and singing. And then there is the rest of him. ❤️🤩❤️ Thank you Steven Mighty for another great vid! ❤️
He did put out some other songs, just need to search. Don also did a really lovely duet with Barbra Streisand, listen to the longer song. The shorter one causes you to lose out on a great finish.
It's quality. Maybe back in the day people derided it because of envy. But Johnson's a legit singer and the composition is good, interesting key changes, good melodic tension, excellent shred solo, action in the video with fx. I still like it!😊
They never left The times never leave they just get stacked on the other The music is still there The colors could be made The whole thing could really come back if people wanted to. Vote Rafael Manzo for president I’ll bring the 80’s back
OK, I've loved this song for sooo many years❗ I have loved Don Johnson for even longer Yet only today I learned the two were one❗ BTW... I'm L❤️VING DWEEZIL ON LEAD GUITAR ❤️❤️ FABULOUS All around❗ 🐊signed Elvis❤️
Guys, this is not cheesy. This is the 80's in a nutshell, this is cooler than a song that'll be released next year!!! The fact is that our generation became cheesy! And so cheesy and arrogant to the point that it forgot how much it could learn with the 80's folks.
I don't care what you say You can give it away Your money don't mean much to me I've been out on my own Going to go it alone now Cause that's the way it's got to be Everybody tells me how I can beat the odds for now I've been standing by the fire I just can't feel the heat Can't feel the heat Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Beating like mine Looking at me, it's easy to see You think you know just how i feel Well you do me wrong And it won't take me long Before my restless heart will heal I'm looking for love, a love like mine They tell me it's so hard to find Well i can feel it in the rhythms The heartbeat in the streets Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Beating like mine Beating like mine Tell me what you feel now We've got a heartbeat Baby is it real now We've got a heartbeat Heartbeat Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Heartbeat I'm looking for a heartbeat Heartbeat...
This is a set of lyrics, by a different artist at that time, which is better? Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh, well Enough said I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to slit me Do you think you can help me? Sad veiled bride, please, be happy Handsome groom, give her room Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly Though she needs you more than she loves you And I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over and over, and over and over Over and over I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real And you even spoke to me and said If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight? And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight? I know 'Cause tonight is just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind Over, over, over, over It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes guts to be gentle and kind Over, over Love is natural and real But not for you, my love Not tonight, my love Love is natural and real But not for such as you and I My love Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head, oh Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head, oh, oh Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head Mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head Oh, mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head
I had no clue he can sing but after hear this, a masterpiece. I wish they bring back classic old school music of 70s, 80s & 90s because those are great influence. Love him in Miami vice. Classic coolest hip cop shows.
He's probably the best looking man alive. In his prime, certainly. Can you believe some magazine's voted him the sexiest man in the world, again? Like, twice; in 2021 and 2020: age 71 and 70, respectively?
Still love this! Don Jonson was an 80's guy for sure! He can sing and loved him at Miami Vice❤️ still watch him wherever he plays at movies etc. Yeap, fan here🙆♀️
Never knew Dweezil Zappa done this song with DJ. Finally after 8 years of owning GTA 5 I played through it and this song kept sticking in my head. Thanks Rock Star.
Oh my goodness God broke the mold on such a special person Donnie, Wayne Johnson, and to say happy birthday 74, I been there since 1984😂🎉 a many sunny days, in Florida thank you ❤😎🌞
Don played a positive and pivotal role in my teens growing up. Those were the days man!!! Bring em back anytime. So needed! So fortunate to have experienced that era. The golden era without TECH. Don and sly Stallone made the 80s for me
I couldn't agree more. I became a cop because of Miami Vice. The 70's was calm, peaceful and easy going. However the 80's decade exploded on to the scene and lasted 10 YEARS. 😃😃😃
Don Johnson was a highly underrated singer. For a guy who was an actor, he sounded pretty good. Much better than any of the slack ass singers of today.
its all monkey shit today time to go back too the 80s
This was back when singer's had real talent
Patrick Swayze sounded good too.
True
Don has been singing since his young teen years and had even formed a couple of bands as well as performing in musical theatre . He has probably got more musical ability than most

You’re listening to the wrong radio stations then.
@@ChristianDeHadleigh my Dad (RIP) would have agreed with you!
@@ChristianDeHadleigh lol
Facts
Don Nailed It. EXACTLY WHAT WE SEE TODAY FROM OUR HAPLESS LEADERS. 5 Stars!!
Love it...what a tune.
Don rules🤘🤘🤘
Bring back the 80s...even for day
I use to love Miami vice. I use to watch it every week. They were the days. The music was a lot better back then..
the king so did I man...
Im 15 i was born in 2003
I wish i was born in the 80's😔
I hate todays world the music is trash nothing but stupid rap its all sucks.
I loved the music back then it was so amazing i listen to all these tracks insteed of todays music. Everything looked so nice back then the people, the environment everything was just so nice 😔
Obi No Kamisama I’m in the exact same boat as you man
@@vSyren I was born in the 60s and a teenager in the 80s. I miss those days. Music is so shit now. Only Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and rap rap rap. I don't listen to modern music. I don't listen to the oldies too much as well because it spoils them if you hear them too much (you hear them in super markets in the background today). Now and then I binge the old songs when I'm in the mood for them.
@@vSyren I'm 17 and I feel the same way :P
This was a surprise back in the day who'd have thought Don Johnson would be a decent singer !!
paul gibson Better than decent. 😃 I miss the days when men sounded like men.
Kaiha Hemara He’s a guy, sweetie. What we love in music is so subjective, just like what we love in men. I love some grit in a man’s voice and Mr. Johnson certainly has that, speaking and singing. And then there is the rest of him. ❤️🤩❤️
Thank you Steven Mighty for another great vid! ❤️
Damn he can sing. I grew up in the 80s watched Miami Vice religiously and never heard this till today. Way to go Don.
I love this song. Handsome, talented Don Johnson Rocks 🤩🎤🎶❤.
And dorks out, clearly. Bad career move. He should have left Miami Vice after season 3.
Nothing like the 80s!!! And Miami vice and being in your 20s!!!
Sing it,....detective James "Sonny Crockett!"😎
👊
He should've keep singing and made more music. This song is on 🔥!
He did put out some other songs, just need to search. Don also did a really lovely duet with Barbra Streisand, listen to the longer song. The shorter one causes you to lose out on a great finish.
check yourself into a hearing clinic get your ears checked
He was a singer who became an actor
Listen to 'tell it like it is' by him
It's quality. Maybe back in the day people derided it because of envy. But Johnson's a legit singer and the composition is good, interesting key changes, good melodic tension, excellent shred solo, action in the video with fx. I still like it!😊
Love the 80's (1986) era.. Pure skill music playing 👍
I never left the 80's. Anyone else?
I did, and I regret it
The best time .. The lift is such a beautiful era in time. The best time ever ever ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will never left the 80's
They never left
The times never leave they just get stacked on the other
The music is still there
The colors could be made
The whole thing could really come back if people wanted to.
Vote Rafael Manzo for president
I’ll bring the 80’s back
Im 34 and I love 80s rock
I’m a thoracic surgeon, and I play this song in the OR.
LOL great!
Never operate on me. Ever.
:)
Freaking awesome Dr!
@Mark Tse lol
Lol😋 You are so awesome😎
That whole album is just tremendous. Thanks Don for this music. Total Legend who hopefully lives to be 100
OK, I've loved this song for sooo many years❗
I have loved Don Johnson for even longer
Yet only today I learned the two were one❗
BTW... I'm L❤️VING DWEEZIL ON LEAD GUITAR ❤️❤️ FABULOUS All around❗
🐊signed Elvis❤️
I love the 80's sound!
Yea baby, the 80s were the best!!!!
Perhaps gayer than the '70s.
I miss the sound and even some of the styles. Sure, maybe men could have toned down on pink and lavender, but other than that, I miss this era.
Good ole days!
Gracias GTA V y LOS SANTOS ROCK RADIO por hacerme conocer esta grandiosa canción.
Man I miss GTA5 story
Si
no hay duda fiera. what a fool believes ,baker street- chicago burning heart ufff un monton amo este juegaso y su banda sonora
Una pregunta es cosa mía o se parece a una canción que conocí en Saint row the tird hace tiempo Xbox 360 se llama igual hearbeats
@@Dream_Night yo no sabia esta cancion pero yo tengo eso juego
I have never heard Don Johnson sing before, I am 55 years old!❤
I just found him and I'm 45 😂😂
Me either! 😅
I'm 55 too. I did remember this after I saw it.
I'm 64 & I didn't know either. He sounded pretty dam good.
Como no es posible
Guys, this is not cheesy. This is the 80's in a nutshell, this is cooler than a song that'll be released next year!!! The fact is that our generation became cheesy! And so cheesy and arrogant to the point that it forgot how much it could learn with the 80's folks.
Arrogant, yes.
You're listening to Los Santos rock radio and that was heartbeat by Don Johnson
Сильная вещь. В 87-88м по польскому радио, на СВ, постоянно крутилась. Джонсон молодец. И весь альбом хорош.
That’s 1 thing Rockstar got right! Those timeless classics. 🕺🤟
Don Johnson and Eddie Murphy are both talented !!!
Don Johnson; You're born an actor and a rockstar! Keep it up! :-) :-)
Hes 70 now
Don Jon is still The Don.
I know right?
I don't care what you say
You can give it away
Your money don't mean much to me
I've been out on my own
Going to go it alone now
Cause that's the way it's got to be
Everybody tells me how
I can beat the odds for now
I've been standing by the fire
I just can't feel the heat
Can't feel the heat
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Beating like mine
Looking at me, it's easy to see
You think you know just how i feel
Well you do me wrong
And it won't take me long
Before my restless heart will heal
I'm looking for love, a love like mine
They tell me it's so hard to find
Well i can feel it in the rhythms
The heartbeat in the streets
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Beating like mine
Beating like mine
Tell me what you feel now
We've got a heartbeat
Baby is it real now
We've got a heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat
I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat...
Thanks ❤🎉😅
All smoking made no difference . He has pipes, I didn’t know.
This is a set of lyrics, by a different artist at that time, which is better?
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh, well
Enough said
I know it's over, still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please, be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Though she needs you more than she loves you
And I know it's over, still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over, and over and over
Over and over
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me and said
If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I
My love
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head, oh
Mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head, oh, oh
Mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
Mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
Oh, mother, I can feel
The soil falling over my head
I’m just gonna say it- this song rocks
I had no clue he can sing but after hear this, a masterpiece. I wish they bring back classic old school music of 70s, 80s & 90s because those are great influence. Love him in Miami vice. Classic coolest hip cop shows.
He also sang a duet with Barbara Streisand , he was dating her at the time.
True
@@jacquelines.2027
I know that, I heard the song sound pretty good
Don Johnson is in his 70s now, I think, and he hasn't aged a bit! He's still hot!
Seriously?? Seen recent photos? He looks like Don Johnson's grandfather....
He's probably the best looking man alive. In his prime, certainly. Can you believe some magazine's voted him the sexiest man in the world, again? Like, twice; in 2021 and 2020: age 71 and 70, respectively?
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 well..... because he is!
To me, this is the peak 80s. Absolutely love it! 😎🎸
Evidence that 1986 was music's perfect year.
This song is just awesome.
DiegoSantos200 Hart beat
One the most Underrated actors ever.Forever Sonny
Born in 1988 love 80's music because of my Parents and GTA
Well, no shit?..lol😂
Still love this! Don Jonson was an 80's guy for sure! He can sing and loved him at Miami Vice❤️ still watch him wherever he plays at movies etc. Yeap, fan here🙆♀️
Don iohnson was the king of the 80s.
Even in 2021 this song makes your heartbeat faster.
Absolutely!
Yup
Yes it does
Yes
Don can actually sing good but the video is cheesey.
Never knew Dweezil Zappa done this song with DJ. Finally after 8 years of owning GTA 5 I played through it and this song kept sticking in my head. Thanks Rock Star.
Oh my goodness God broke the mold on such a special person Donnie, Wayne Johnson, and to say happy birthday 74, I been there since 1984😂🎉 a many sunny days, in Florida thank you ❤😎🌞
Want to thank his parents for creating Don.
Bravo
Hi Christine,hope you’re okay ?
Don played a positive and pivotal role in my teens growing up.
Those were the days man!!! Bring em back anytime.
So needed!
So fortunate to have experienced that era.
The golden era without TECH.
Don and sly Stallone made the 80s for me
I couldn't agree more. I became a cop because of Miami Vice. The 70's was calm, peaceful and easy going. However the 80's decade exploded on to the scene and lasted
10 YEARS. 😃😃😃
I have this on CD,can play this song over & over that's how much I love this song, classic
The Fender Stratocaster is king in this song.Great lyrics Don Johnson;)love this album
