Glenn Frey was another music great we lost in 2016. Glenn was best known as one of the founding members of the Eagles, and had a successful solo career as well. Several of his solo songs are featured on the Miami Vice soundtrack, including "Smuggler's Blues" - he appeared in an episode of the show with the same title. His other contribution to the soundtrack is "You Belong to the City." The album also features songs by Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Grandmaster Melle Mel (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five), "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins (love this song, especially the drums), and of course, one of the best TV theme songs in history, written and performed by Jan Hammer.
Of course, like I said, Glenn Frey is best known for his work with the Eagles. These two greatest hits albums are a good showcase of the some of their best work - I don't care how overplayed "Hotel California" is, that will always be one of my favorite songs. They will go down as one of the great American bands.
