===>Hi there! As far as I know, the last instrumental to chart in the
States was a trance tune called "Children" by Robert Miles. This was
about nine or ten years ago, right after I got married.
Going back further, don't forget about "Axl F" by Harold Faltermeyer (theme from
_Beverly Hills Cop_) and "Theme From Miami Vice" by Jan Hammer. (Don't know
if "Crocket's Theme" from Miami Vice by Jan Hammer charted in the States or not,
but it's pretty well known here, too.)
