More Miami Vice Trivia Questions

Since I keep seeing the commercials for the new Miami vice move, I cant resist doing a little more Miami Vice trivia: One of the most stylish elements of the TV show's production was the use of (at the time) contemporary popular songs for background music in the various episodes. Unlike other T.V. dramas of the 80's that relied on a theme song and incidental music such as "Night Rider," "Dallas," and "The A-Team", Miami Vice relied on an eclectic selection of offbeat rock and pop tunes to set the mood for many scenes. As a result, people headed for the record store looking for "that song I heard last night on Miami Vice." Of course, a soundtrack album of music from the show was released and it shot right up the charts. One of the artists who's songs were often featured on the show was Phil Collins. He had no less than five of his songs show up in various episodes. But out of them all, one particular Phil Collins tune became a trademark of the series, and as a result had a second run at the charts. So, of all the Phil Collins songs that were heard on the Miami Vice television series, what was the name of the song that became symbolic of the show?

Bonus Question: Pop stars benefitted from having their music appear in the Miami Vice TV series, they also turned up in the cast on occasion. What was the name of the pop singer who played Sonny Crockett's second wife Caitlin?
