It's not that great of a CD, but the title song has me addicted. July 25, 2006

I wasn't alive back in the 80s when Miami Vice was on everybody's television, but I've grown up with a father who is in love with Don Johnson's suits and have every Miami Vice on recorded VHSes. I've come to enjoy Miami Vice, and persoanlly can't wait for the movie (I hope they use the original theme song in it somewhere!), but I wasn't aware of Don Johnson's music until recently when I was looking at an 80s music boxset (I love 80s music, more than other), I think it was called Like! Omigod or something. Anyway, went down to my basement where my parents have all of their CDs and looked for the a Don Johnson album, and sure enough, I found a copy of Heartbeat. I put in my stereo to find that I loved the first song and I hoped that the rest was just as good. Well, in my opinion, it wasn't. I didn't really like any of the other songs. But Heartbeat, the song, is great. It's really addicting. I've read where people say that the only lyrics are "Heartbeat! I'm looking for a heartbeat!" and my parents even told me that, but that's only at the end of the song, which is actaully pretty common. I suggest you buy this album (if you can find it, or just download the song). Don't buy it if you have to pay over $15, but it's worth having for the first song, I think. There are many other CDs that are better than this one, but this one isn't horrible. It would also be a nice collectible if you're a fan of Miami Vice, or Don Johnson, or both.
A very good album!!! Don's Best work besides Vice! June 14, 2006

I always keep hearing people badmouth this album and
I am sick and tired of it. This is not a bad album!
If anything this sure as hell is better than any of
today's music...and by that I mean anything made in the
last 16 years.
The best songs off this record are Heartbeat, Voice on a Hotline, Gotta Get Away, and Last Sound Love Makes.
"Voice", and "Heartbeat" put anything out there today to shame!
Also I recommend Don's second release Let it Roll from 1989.
Not as good as Heartbeat, but has a few good tracks on it.
For newcomers to Don's music you should really
check out the Heartbeat video. There's unreleased
songs on the video. One of the unreleased songs
is Street Wise, which was used in one episode of Miami Vice!

At that time Don Johnson was HOT. Miami Vice was new and contained such great music. I bought this album when it first came out because I was and am a DJ fan. It's not a Sgt. Peppers masterpiece, but I liked a few songs a lot. Heartache Away was my favorite. This album is not going to appeal to a large audience but if you like DJ you will like it.
 He sure needed Tubbs' help on this one... April 3, 2006

You remember Crockett and Tubbs from Miami Vice. Well, Don "Crockett" Johnson tried his luck at recording an album. Thing is, I'm not sure if this even classifies as an album.
We have 16 ear bleeders coming at you. And let's get it going...
It starts off with the "hit" heartbeat. Here are the lyrics:
Heartbeat! I'm looking for a Heartbeat!
I suggest: Stop Button! I'm looking for the Stop Button!
The 3rd track really has me guessing. The Last Sound Love Makes
What the hell does that mean? I think this album was around the time Melanie Griffith left him for that Zorro guy. Imagine that...
She hears him writing this crap and leaves. She didn't leave because of your pastel, she left because of this music you wrote.
GREAT SUICIDE MUSIC!

This album features Miami Vice star Don Johnson singing '80s style pop/rock songs. It's pretty boring stuff, even though the title song was a Top 5 hit. Somehow, he managed to get people like Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Ron Wood and Stevie Ray Vaughan to contribute to the album, but it didn't help much.
