The Moonlighting Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the Moonlighting television series and was produced by Phil Ramone and Glenn Gordon Caron. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis provided a few songs that accompanied Al Jarreau's vocals on the main theme to the series. That single peaked at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart on July 25, 1987.[1] Other songs include Chubby Checker's Limbo Rock, The Isley Brothers's This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You), and When a Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge.
