"Moonlighting" is the theme song to the ABC comedy-crime drama which ran from 1985 to 1989 and starred Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. The theme song's music was written by Lee Holdridge, produced by Nile Rodgers and performed by Al Jarreau, who wrote the lyrics. Included in the soundtrack album for the series and released as a single in 1987, the song reached number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent one week at number one on the Adult Contemporary chart.[1] In 1988 the song earned two Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male and for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.
