"Streetwise" is a song performed by Don Johnson, recorded in 1986. The song appeared in the Miami Vice episode "Streetwise".
Notes
- The song was never released on any Don Johnson album, though it was on a 12" maxi single featuring two other songs, "Heartache Away" and "Love Roulette".
- Providing backup vocals were Olivia Brown (Trudy) and Whoopi Goldberg.
- One of the co-writers was Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band. In 1979 Johnson wrote two songs for Betts' band's album "Enlightened Rogues".
- Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas both released albums during Miami Vice's run, but Johnson's was the most successful, reaching the Billboard Top 20 on the album chart and a Top 5 single, "Heartbeat".
- "Streetwise" was one of three songs ("Smuggler's Blues" and "Little Miss Dangerous" are the others) that shares the title with an episode title.
