Seriously! I had never seen an episode of Miami Vice growing up so I didn't know the music or anything. In the summer of '97 I was in Longbeach, CA. I was touring on the red unit of Ringling Bros and this was the second week of our California summer tour. We had loaded into the arena and then had the rest of the day off. My thing was always to go out and explore. I had found myself at a mall and was walking around the music store when I heard this track come on. It immediately caught my attention. I asked the clerk what album it was and they were playing a copy of Pure Moods (it was the first one). Turned out it was the only one in stock and she didn't think she could sell it since it had been opened. So I tried just about every music store I could find in the area (and mind, I'm walking, I didn't have a car on the show) but no luck. I go back to the store and ask to speak with the manager. He said it was true, they don't generally sell the store copies. But he could tell I really dug the track and the fact that I actually went all around looking for it impressed him, so he sold it to me. And at a slight discount since it had been opened!

Hello sir, I hope you see this comment. 5 months ago, I was in my final year of high-school. I was put up with a lot of pressure- like which college to join or which course to take, and on top of that, I literally failed in 2 papers. My teachers gave up on me. My friends told me that I was useless and they stopped talking to me. I was really sad, and my final exams were just around the corner. If I failed in my final exam, I would have to repeat high-school all over again. I thought I wouldn't be able to make it, until I found this video of yours. While I was listening to this synth cover, I felt that this song was made for me. I kept playing it on loop. This cover gave me the motivation to continue working hard, get a great grade, and prove everyone who I am. Of course, listening to this music alone wont help. I worked really hard on my education, and whenever I lost hope, I would listen to your composition. Slowly, I started realizing that the sums I was struggling with, became a bit easier for me to crack. 5 months later (ie today), I found out that I have scored a perfect A in my final exam, and I got a good placement offer in a college. This video literally turned my life upside down, and the best part of this: The people who made fun of me can't even muster up courage to congratulate me, and the professors who thought I was useless had to reconsider their decision. Thank you sir for becoming an important part of my life's journey. From here there is no looking back.
Hello Sir, I'm getting goosebumps when reading you comment. What en emotional journey you have experienced. I hope you will reach all your goals you will have in live. I know music i a very emotional and powerful tool but your story really touches me. You are a very inspiring man to other people, if you have the possibility to visit Belgium sometime you are welcome at my place. Wishing you and your family all the best in live. Greetings from Belgium, Albert
@@Instrumental_covers_by_Albert Thanks for your wishes, sir. I used to listen to this cover while traveling in a bus, back to my home, and I would continue to listen to this track on loop when I got stuck with a problem. And another habit I made was to listen to Mozart early morning, and before I got to bed. This helped me to increase my concentration power. If I ever visit Belgium, I would definitely visit your place, and listen to you play crocketts theme on your synth - live 😄👍🏻

Crockett theme is the most beautiful song i have ever heard
This song is magnificient.
Have many people trying to replicate it is a sign of that.
I think KOS was the one who did it perfect.
