\"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. 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.

When I first saw Moonlighting on Australian TV so many years ago I was tickled pink. Absolutely loved the show. This VERY RARE Moonlighting music video was captured by a friend of mine from an Australian TV broadcast. Quality wasn't too bad considering it came from low res video tape. The only other copy I know of is of atrocious quality so this was a breath of fresh air to view. The Rage TV show has some very good clips in their vaults to be sure and most of the time those clips trump what is available to the general public.
Not much was done with this. It has been scaled properly to 1080p with only a light cleanse. Doing more would destroy the already fragile details. A few small tweaks have been applied to enhance the image detail. My friend had already replaced the audio himself and there was no need for me to touch it as it was top notch.
Happy viewing and I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

I hope you all enjoy this video upscale. Please share the link with your friends and I hope it doesn't end up being blocked in your country.
