Miami was one of the last wild places in the US...in the '80's.
Michael Mann did an extraordinary job of capturing such a moment.

@toddhall4309
To me, this song encapsulates the 80's (or at least the best of the 80's).

I started watching Miami Vice in 9th grade. Only the difference is that this was two years ago.
