This week in 1985, the Glenn Frey single “The Heat is On” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #77 (February 23)

The song written by Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey, and recorded by Glenn Frey for the smash hit film Beverly Hills Cop, was the sixth track of the album “Beverly Hills Cop: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack”.

According to Frey, he was invited to an early screening of the film, and about two months later was sent a demo of a song written by Keith Forsey and Harold Faltermeyer to be used in the film to see if he was interested in singing the song. 

Frey agreed, and recorded the vocal part in one day. The following day he played the guitar and recorded the background vocals, and was allegedly paid $15,000 for the work.

In the United States, it is the highest charting solo single by any member of the Eagles.

It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1985, behind "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon. 

It was also popular internationally, peaking at #2 in Australia and Norway, #4 in Germany, #5 in Sweden and Switzerland, #8 in Canada, and #12 in the UK.
