"The Last Sound Love Makes" by Don Johnson

Being the star of hit TV shows (Miami Vice and Nash Bridges) and movies just isn't enough for some people. Don Johnson also wanted to sing his heart out.

Don Johnson's debut album arrived in 1986, whose title track, "Heartbeat," soared all the way to #5. But when the follow-up single, "Heartache Away," stalled at #56, he seemed destined to be a one-hit wonder. However, his 1988 duet with Barbara Streisand, "Till I Loved You," (the love theme from the Broadway musical Goya) reached a respectable #25.

The album "Heartbeat" featured an all-star cast, including songs written by Tom Petty and Bob Seger, and backing vocals by Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson. "The Last Sound Love Makes" is a missed opportunity that I think stood a decent chance at some chart action. 

Johnson's fame and support staff helped propel his album to an impressive #17 on the Top 200. Unfortunately, lightning did not strike twice and his 1989 sophomore record, "Let It Roll" didn't even chart.
