I would have agreed with you in the 90's and early 2000's. I liked this music when it came out, but hated it after the 90's got started. A long with hairband rock. But, after enough time passed, the good music from this era is resurfacing, given new life by us as adults and a younger generation who doesn't have a sound of their own.
🎤🖋🎼Daniel Earl Hartman Dec. 8, 1950 - Mar. 22, 1994 🕯 He died on March 22, 1994, at his Westport, Connecticut home from a brain tumor, at the age of 43. ⚘️
It's a shame. He didn't want to disclose his HIV status or seek treatment. Getting treatment may have prevented his brain tumor if they could have built up his immune system.
Sometimes listening to tunes like this I say there is no better times like this ones, those were the best times growing up, pity I realized this recently.
One of these song that I hear out of the blue and suddenly I feel like a child again. It’s 1984 and I’m back from school Daddy is still alive and mom is waiting with dinner Brings tears to my eyes
That is the dearest memory I have ever heard…..so sweet and I know you’re thanking him for his gift of incredible love and awareness , open to importance of family life. Pass it on .
Dan Hartman's appearance on "Soul Train" singing this song rocked the house that episode. Check it out on UA-cam. Most of the Black kids hearing his voice on the radio thought his sound was coming from a brother. They were not mistaken. He just happened to be a white brother. RIP My Brother. Your soulful voice and song writing for countless R&B artists throughout the world will live on with us . . FOREVER.
Yes you are right that voice is pure soul!! Missing from the Brothers good songs and lyrics the real Soul music, sorry but rap, is not music for me!! Sorry that they didn't continue with the legacy of the beautiful Music!!!! Motown Music the best!!!!!
Also the best cars made. My ultimate dream car is a Ferrari F40 It was made in the 80's it is an automotive icon. To me it's one of the best production cars ever it was a Ferrari street legal race car.
@@colinweaver8139 like 80's had may cool sports cars, muscle cars and supercars. This is why shows like radwood are celebrated across the country with 80s to 90's cars because they where the best ones. That's why us enthusiast will buy them. Looking at the car market now it's stupid suvs and crossover. We are getting less fun cars. Ferrari making a suv was stupid. They should have done a modern version of what the f40 was with a gated manual transmission.
I wish I could explain the happiness this song brings me. Takes me back to that time in my childhood when everything was easy; when everything was simple; when everything was good. We sure were lucky to grow up in the 80s.
Trevor Baker I was thinking about and wondering the same thing. Now in the video on the TV in the club it had a black group performing the song while this guy was singing along. Kinda confusing isn't it, but then again white people always tried to have soul by copying our music and sound.
Streets of Fire🔥🔥 Not only was it a classic 1984 movie, but this song makes me want to cry, just from the nostalgia alone!! The 80s was a wonderful time to be alive! 2021
I keep searching for this movie on DVD. Found it once, but it was outrageously expensive. Some day hope I to find it at a reasonable price. Great flick.
I loved the eighties! Born in 1960, I spent my whole twenties in that wonderful decade! I had a job I loved, and friends I loved even more. Young and carefree. Such magical times, full of laughter
You were a whole decade ahead of me....I was born in 1971, and lived my elementary school years through the late 70's, and my junior and senior high through the middle to late 80's...got to enjoy the best of the whole decade, growing up as a teen through it...the movies, the sitcoms, the music and styles, friends, and the goodtimes...🙂🙂
80s & 90s. What a time to be alive. Just enough technology that made life easier but not enough to strip away our humanity and make us stop making great art and relating to each other.
1984 Streets of Fire, the first movie I brought my girlfriend to. This standout song became our song. This July we will be 34 years married. Still our song.
This is my mom and dad's song. He dedicated it to her when he was in the field for military training. We lost him this week, so we're the ones dreaming about him. I've listened to it nonstop. It's a tear-jerker for me. Love you to the end of the earth Pops! ❤
Dan Hatman is an unsung hero and legend. The songs he wrote, the music he made, the artists he wrote for. It is such a travesty that he died so young. Rest peacefully you incredibly talented soul x
The love of good music should bring all of us together, listening with our heart and soul and instead of using our eyes, often times vision is superficial and biased,...that’s my Hispanic/Navajo opinion.
Dan Hartman was a wonderful entertainer and such a handsome guy! This music makes me feel innocent and like everything is going to be fine. Thank you Dan Hartman...Rest In Peace 🙌🏼♥️

Born is 65'.....This world has turned to shit...Thank you "China"...80's ? systemic racism?...Look at the music and video library from the decade ! To be able to sleep on Santa Monica beach over-night with a bon fire and 15 people? You can't do that anymore !!! I miss the early 80's !!!
Man, who are you telling. The days of not having a care un the world and the way folks was racism wasn't was prevalent as it is today. It seemed as if everybody respected each other.
@@aqueenceereid4249 Racism? In my country we made fun of foreigners and it was ok cos they made fun of us. No one cared and got hypo about stuff like that.
Yes but I'm old school yes not the 80s old school goes back like late 40s going from their 50s and 60s then the 70s that is old school mom and dad were from that time up to the 70s because mom and dad their pass history
Ah the memories, 22 years old and a Jr at Texas Tech University, dang, being a young man through the '80s was such a wonderful time to be alive and truly the best times of my life. Now, 60 and still enjoying this music and I close my eyes and see myself walking to class through campus with my loafers, corduroy brown pants and short sleeve shirt my momma bought me for school and longer hair styled with wings to the sides, ah man, the memories, where did all that time and youthfulness go? Love and Peace everyone.
@@graysonbr Ah man, the best of times and music. Living through the '80's was an experience in itself, we were so very lucky, wouldn't have any other way. We had a great time, didn't we?
The days of no online exams. Lucky you. I hated online exams. It was like being a guinea pig in a big experiment where professors were tech clueless. I had two professors delete major class exams where we all had to retake them. This was around 2011. I guess it was probably a pain in the butt to have to write papers back in the 80's. Like you must be super familiar with the Dewey Decimal System. Ha ha! You probably weren't remotely thinking of the actual assignments as you wrote out your awesome memory in this comment. Meanwhile, I think I've got to Google 80's corduroy brown pants.
Magical time? Are you kidding me? Read the MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (of the CDC) weekly newsletter that was published on June 5, 1981, all about the emerging HIV epidemic.
Oh it certainly was. I was born in 1960, so came through some great eras of creativity that brought us such wonderful music. I love all music (thanks to my wonderful parents who took me to see the Beatles at the age of three) For all who produce music - I salute you 😊
For this 71 year old I can tell you this song keeps all the 70's and 80's alive and it will never end to enjoy the best of times and RIP Dan Hartman. Your song will live on forever as your memory. Thanks for the sweet memories
Summer of 1984 had some amazing music. The whole year really, was filled with great songs and albums. As a young teenager at the time, this music really evokes such an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia, I can feel the summer of '84 all over again hearing this song.
Born in 1958. Graduated college in 1980. 1980's were a magical time for music, good times, and everyone just getting along and enjoying life. Miss it greatly.....But, glad I had it.
This music take me back to the 80's in seconds, I remember my family, my beloved German Shephard Rocky , the hood, the school, the malls, the movies, the eternal summers, the first love and kiss,the cassettes, the CD's the VHS, the friend that was always there, the cool teachers, the fantastic and simple life we had then in the 80's, I miss all that like crazy now that I am 54.
Yeah so very best ever my friend Kim 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Roy from Happy camp California. Where are you from ?
The 60s, 70s and 80s were a magical time to be alive for me. Looking back on it all, i can honestly say i feel blessed to have been there to see it all. Best times of my life.
I was 22 when this song was released. Still a young man and had my life ahead of me. I wish I could go back in time and undo some of the mistakes I made back then. My life would be so much better now.
If I went back in time I'd probably make worse mistakes than I did in the past and hurt more people in the process while trying to fix things that can't be fixed. Sounds trite but we're here today and got tomorrow,
I'm here 👋 July 16th 2024 Awesome song, by Dan Hartman- RIP, I would have been just 15 yrs.old when this was released on April of 1984, Wow 😳 what a time to be alive the 80's. 🤔😎👌👍🎵🎶🔥❤️🙏🙌🙏😔
@@williamrandler5615 - apologies. I’m from Mississippi, bubba means friend, it’s like a term of endearment. It’s like saying, bud. Homie. Brother bro, neighbor.. i mean no ill wishes sorry
Yeah for sure a CooL summer time tune, back then I was 14 years old, great memories tied to this song memories I won't ever forget even if I get Alzheimer's
The VMA's were just on the other day and the 'artists' are anything but artists. The music is just terrible. So I checked out the Top 100 from 1984 and saw this song... a great song that everyone could listen to, young, old, white, black etc... A song for everyone w/o any hate, violence or division.
I must tell y’all that the Summers of ‘84-‘88 were something special. I wish I can find a time machine and go back while retaining the same knowledge and wisdom. I can truly say it was a stress free era.
I had maybe my coolest “dad moment” ever when i overheard my 17 yr old daughter singing Jeff Buckley and just knowing that i introduced her to his otherworldly talent. Such a great feeling when your kid appreciates good music.
I’m a 30 something that grew up listening to this music. Oddly enough, I developed a deeper appreciation and love for 80’s music when I started working at 16 at a Kmart. We had several loops that would play during the day and this song always came on around close. I’d walk around doing go-backs and I’d find a quiet aisle or corner whenever this song came on and I’d just listen. I’d dream about finding someone who could feel this way about me. It took me away to a magical place that was the polar opposite from my reality. I was being abused by my parents at the time and music was the only escape I had. I was denied my childhood and teen years. I’d sit there and let the song get embedded in my mind and dream about floating across a dance floor with the man of my dreams. (They took my prom too.) I worked at Kmart for a number of years. When I started dating, I dreamed of the guy I was dating at the time. He was magic. He was fire. Maybe he dreamed about me. I married that guy and now...this song just hits different. It reminds me of a time when everything was carefree and all I worried about was when I’d see him again.
Growing up in the 80's was such a wonderful time in my life. Songs carried deep heart felt meaning. Now 2023 , listening to this song still holds many sweet memories. God Bless You , Thank You for sharing.
Back in 1979 there was "Disco Demolition Derby" at Comisky Park in Chicago (where the White Sox played). It was in the intermission of a double header. Everybody was told to bring a disco record, and they'll get a discount admission. The records were gathered and set fire to pyrotechnics. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK WHY DON'T WE DO THAT AGAIN, WITH THE POST-Y2K CRAP WE HEAR NO-STOP NOWADAYS?
well were not going to get it. TV rather show us a rapist Donald Trump instead of a good music. They don't even show music videos on TV anymore. I just watch UA-cam music videos all day and block out all the negativity going on. the second this song starts is when I feel like getting up and dance a lil, the bass line is awesome.
This may be an '80s song, but it sounds timeless. It's got hints of Motown, disco, funk, synth-pop, bar-band rock, like it's the ideal synergy of pop music.
My sister says that sometimes, when she listens to old music, she imagines living in a better time, even though she was born in 2003. Listening to music like this, I understand what she is talking about.
It was just as good as she remembers, although she was never there. The president ate jellybeans, the world was becoming more free, and we were less afraid than we ever will be again.
What a prolific talent Dan Hartman was, gone way to soon! The 80’s were a blast, when we danced just for the heck of it..the music was a refuge and the talent was phenomenal! I can listen to this song over and over again.
I agree, but I'm sure that's intentional. If you give a song everything in one listen, you just listen and get what you want and move on. But when you just want your favorite part one more time and then before you know it you've listened to it 5+ times for it, that's what's creates replay value.
The 80's was my early teenage years.. such great music that had meaning and a message. Not like todays music. I need to return to the 80's and stay for awhile.
Mr. morgan Forget staying their awhile, I wanna stay in the 80’s permanently. This 21st century is getting progressively worse and worse. Gotta think we’re heading to doomsday sooner rather than later.
Great song 40 years later.
Correct
40 years?!? 40 YEARS?!? Oh Lord...its been 40 years...
Yep 40 years ago
Best song better than today's Garbage
I will lenient
They sure don't sing songs like this anymore. Bring back the 80s. Wish i had a timewarp machine.
Watch hot tub time machine
I wish they would? I miss them days:)
Miss the 80’s so much
Amen. There is no good music anymore.😢😢
Me too. Love, life......I'm sad
Sadly this era of music has come and gone, a blessed witness, the 80s will never die..

It was the perfect storm of talent, experience, technology. It was just the right decade for the perfect, timeless songs.
Nothing compared to this music.

Man, who are you telling. The days of not having a care un the world and the way folks was racism wasn't was prevalent as it is today. It seemed as if everybody respected each other.
@@aqueenceereid4249 Racism? In my country we made fun of foreigners and it was ok cos they made fun of us. No one cared and got hypo about stuff like that.
80 in 90
ME too and there were awesome music .I had this on cassette back then .Truly a powerful song by a great artiste .

I use to sing this constantly as a kid!
Yep, same here. I've always loved this song.
R.I.P Dan Hartman. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, I didn't even know he died. 😥 Such great music back in those days. What happened?
@@McQueenMelissa Died of Aids at 42yo. He was gay. Huge loss. Super talented. He had quite the musical career. Google his name.
There will never be another time like the 80s as far as music goes. I would give anything to go back to that time ..
Yes but I'm old school yes not the 80s old school goes back like late 40s going from their 50s and 60s then the 70s that is old school mom and dad were from that time up to the 70s because mom and dad their pass history
I agree 💯 there will never be any time like the 80"s
Me too
This 57 year old can PROMISE you that the '80's were absolutely freaking wonderful. The best of times.
Time machine
Takes me back to a time that's gone forever.
1984- that magical summer 🌞
Best music in history was made in the 80's without a doubt...
that's for sure
2022 and still loving it!!!!!!! live long the 80s!
Yup, it's March 9th, 2022, and I still love this track from sunny mid 80s!!! RIP Dan Hartman.
Eu ouvindo em 2022. Rio de janeiro
agreed
Soundtrack of my final year in high school as I hit 55yo tomorrow.. Bring back those carefree days.
I need lyrics 😩 lol
Who else is going through all their classic jams thinking about how life was back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
You're not. 👍
I do all the time, I love exciting memeries with energy.
Me too
You're totally not alone!
You’re not the only one
I just can't let go of the 80's!! My girl then is my wife now. It was the sweetest of times for sure.
Ah the memories, 22 years old and a Jr at Texas Tech University, dang, being a young man through the '80s was such a wonderful time to be alive and truly the best times of my life. Now, 60 and still enjoying this music and I close my eyes and see myself walking to class through campus with my loafers, corduroy brown pants and short sleeve shirt my momma bought me for school and longer hair styled with wings to the sides, ah man, the memories, where did all that time and youthfulness go? Love and Peace everyone.
Same here sixties now, where did the years go!
👈👉 was heading to Tech that Fall....great music back then wasn't it!
@@graysonbr Ah man, the best of times and music. Living through the '80's was an experience in itself, we were so very lucky, wouldn't have any other way. We had a great time, didn't we?
That's just class....great memories indeed!
The days of no online exams. Lucky you. I hated online exams. It was like being a guinea pig in a big experiment where professors were tech clueless. I had two professors delete major class exams where we all had to retake them. This was around 2011. I guess it was probably a pain in the butt to have to write papers back in the 80's. Like you must be super familiar with the Dewey Decimal System. Ha ha! You probably weren't remotely thinking of the actual assignments as you wrote out your awesome memory in this comment. Meanwhile, I think I've got to Google 80's corduroy brown pants.
I was just a little kid when this came out but it's such a magical time
yes sir me too
Omg, it's the legend himself!!
Magical time? Are you kidding me? Read the MMWR Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (of the CDC) weekly newsletter that was published on June 5, 1981, all about the emerging HIV epidemic.
i doubt people would agree today...they would probably called it gayties...due to only rap being the thing these days.
Oh it certainly was. I was born in 1960, so came through some great eras of creativity that brought us such wonderful music. I love all music (thanks to my wonderful parents who took me to see the Beatles at the age of three) For all who produce music - I salute you 😊
I’ll never get tired of this song.
Same here I love this song I was born in 81 I grew up listening to this music best music era
Me too 💗💗💗💗🇧🇷💚🇧🇷🇧🇷
❤
Masterpiece
i may have been born in 2000 but i wish i lived in the 80's, glad i found this song and love it
Dan Hartman was so talented, one of my favorite songs of the 80's.
The 80s music will never be surpassed. Even gets better as the years roll by.
I know. Their song writing, and singing are so pure. You can relate ino matter where you come from ..
Also movies. Sometimes they went hand in hand. If you had a Kenny Loggins song in your movie, guaranteed to be a hit.
You had to be there Mr. Youngun.
Bigg 🤚👍👍
That's what happens to fine 🍷
Another talented musician gone from this earth wayyyy too soon! RIP Dan Hartman. Your music will live on forever!
13 going on 21 at this time n partying too much, where were my parents ?
Agreed! So talented!
For this 71 year old I can tell you this song keeps all the 70's and 80's alive and it will never end to enjoy the best of times and RIP Dan Hartman. Your song will live on forever as your memory. Thanks for the sweet memories
50's kid but love many from the 80's one of my favorites
It was my favorite song that year! Played it over & over!
I really dug his work with Edgar Winter
Include the 50s and 60s too...
Simpliest times❤ Born of the 80's song still holds up..whose with me 💯🙌
Summer of 1984 had some amazing music. The whole year really, was filled with great songs and albums. As a young teenager at the time, this music really evokes such an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia, I can feel the summer of '84 all over again hearing this song.
That whole year (1984) was full of great music!
@@insidethemusicalmind7207 it really was! ❤️
Think it has to be my favourite music year fabulous memories and this song ❤
MTV era wasn't it?
Absolutely!!
Born in 1958. Graduated college in 1980. 1980's were a magical time for music, good times, and everyone just getting along and enjoying life. Miss it greatly.....But, glad I had it.
we did have it i feel sorry for the kids nowadays
Same here.
Born in 59…graduated college in 81! BEST MUSIC EVER! We were SO lucky!!!❤
Here we are in February 2023, so whose actually listening to this great old song besides me. It sure brings back many memories. R.I.P. Dan Hartman
I am listening in March 2021 Boston Massachusetts

Hey Thomas Molina, I am.Love this song.Brings back gud memories.Great music 💃
This music take me back to the 80's in seconds, I remember my family, my beloved German Shephard Rocky , the hood, the school, the malls, the movies, the eternal summers, the first love and kiss,the cassettes, the CD's the VHS, the friend that was always there, the cool teachers, the fantastic and simple life we had then in the 80's, I miss all that like crazy now that I am 54.
One of the best songs from the 80's!
I still have this 45!
males always die early :(
Darryl Willett yes i agree
Darryl Willett man you’re gorgeous. JS.
The 80's were the absolute greatest Era to live in.
Yes it was
We were soooooooo lucky Steph!! Class of '87 here!!❤
One of the greatest songs ever from one of the best male voices ever. We miss you Dan.
Yeah so very best ever my friend Kim 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Roy from Happy camp California. Where are you from ?
Hope you don't mind me asking 😊
Love this song still great in 2024 From myrtle beach sc bb 4:02
80s was and still is the best era of music ever
70's
Absolutely correct!
Nope 70's my man😃
60's through 90's
The Los Angeles Lakers Era the best years
The 60s, 70s and 80s were a magical time to be alive for me. Looking back on it all, i can honestly say i feel blessed to have been there to see it all. Best times of my life.
Same here
michpackfan:🎯
Wish I could go back this crap too evil and the music sucks .
It all started in MO Town don't forget!
A CHOSEN VESSEL Amen
R. I. P Dan Hartman ❤️🙏🏻 Left us with such great music your talents are missed! God Bless You 🙏🏻
Ditto !
Very much Soo He was Soo Great ❤️💗❤️💗❤️ Wish he was still with us Singing and Dancing bring us all so much JOY and up beat happiness.
Awesome singer. Great moves.
Dan was awesome. He will never be forgotten. 🔥🔥. Keep the fire burning.
Fire Dice 🙏🦋💖🌈🙏
I was 22 when this song was released. Still a young man and had my life ahead of me. I wish I could go back in time and undo some of the mistakes I made back then. My life would be so much better now.
Stay strong my friend..one day at a time 💪🏽
If I went back in time I'd probably make worse mistakes than I did in the past and hurt more people in the process while trying to fix things that can't be fixed. Sounds trite but we're here today and got tomorrow,
Ditto!
Amen to that
I think that we all feel that way.
I'm here 👋 July 16th 2024 Awesome song, by Dan Hartman- RIP, I would have been just 15 yrs.old when this was released on April of 1984, Wow 😳 what a time to be alive the 80's. 🤔😎👌👍🎵🎶🔥❤️🙏🙌🙏😔
Great song bubba… I was born in 1986.. but this is a classic my interracial parents played… and I love it ❤
@@Poe-007 Who is Bubba, that's not my name Ok!
@@williamrandler5615 - apologies. I’m from Mississippi, bubba means friend, it’s like a term of endearment. It’s like saying, bud. Homie. Brother bro, neighbor.. i mean no ill wishes sorry
Yeah for sure a CooL summer time tune, back then I was 14 years old, great memories tied to this song memories I won't ever forget even if I get Alzheimer's
Dan Hartman wrote and performed this summer hit of 1984 that is a wonderful masterpiece.
The 80's...I tasted,breathed,ate and LIVED IT. Best decade ever!!!!!
you know it.
SMMFH, U got that right. Very well said !🎵🎶🎶🎤🎤👍👍👌
I was born in December '82.
I wanna go back to the 80’s when the world wasn’t so screwed up. I’m so grateful my kids were born in that decade! Best time ever 💜
Brilliant words every thing was so good and the music the best ever 💞
The VMA's were just on the other day and the 'artists' are anything but artists. The music is just terrible.
So I checked out the Top 100 from 1984 and saw this song... a great song that everyone could listen to, young, old, white, black etc... A song for everyone w/o any hate, violence or division.
It was the best
Vdd..
@@jc9561 yes
Listening to the 80's and reading these comments is pure nostalgia. My eyes fill up
I feel the same way.So many wonderful happy memories
Yep....definitely a special time starting with 1984!
same
I must tell y’all that the Summers of ‘84-‘88 were something special. I wish I can find a time machine and go back while retaining the same knowledge and wisdom. I can truly say it was a stress free era.
I totally loved the 80's music and styles😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I had maybe my coolest “dad moment” ever when i overheard my 17 yr old daughter singing Jeff Buckley and just knowing that i introduced her to his otherworldly talent. Such a great feeling when your kid appreciates good music.
Jeff Buckley - quality. Another one gone too soon. RIP Jeff.
1. Close your eyes
2. Remember the good old times
3. Cry
😭 too true
every day 😢
Yes the good ol 80s
Too true
I know right... Wat I wouldn't give to go back to the 80's for just a day .. Life was just so much easier... Smdh
I’m a 30 something that grew up listening to this music. Oddly enough, I developed a deeper appreciation and love for 80’s music when I started working at 16 at a Kmart. We had several loops that would play during the day and this song always came on around close. I’d walk around doing go-backs and I’d find a quiet aisle or corner whenever this song came on and I’d just listen. I’d dream about finding someone who could feel this way about me. It took me away to a magical place that was the polar opposite from my reality. I was being abused by my parents at the time and music was the only escape I had. I was denied my childhood and teen years. I’d sit there and let the song get embedded in my mind and dream about floating across a dance floor with the man of my dreams. (They took my prom too.) I worked at Kmart for a number of years. When I started dating, I dreamed of the guy I was dating at the time. He was magic. He was fire. Maybe he dreamed about me. I married that guy and now...this song just hits different. It reminds me of a time when everything was carefree and all I worried about was when I’d see him again.
Damn I’m sorry people hurt you like that. Glad you found an escape from it all, at least through music.
People can find a way out of anything. I'm glad you did too. May we all be as fortunate as you. I hope this finds you well
Beautiful 🥰
Growing up in the 80's was such a wonderful time in my life. Songs carried deep heart felt meaning. Now 2023 , listening to this song still holds many sweet memories. God Bless You , Thank You for sharing.
I agree..I want to go back!!
This song will last forever
Love this song
Dan Hartman was REALLY talented, I read about all he did on Wikipedia and was blown away. AIDS took him away WAY too soon, RIP 😔
dan had the talent. aids took him away.
I was going to post" what the hell happened and why hewasn't a bigger star"
Then I read this... Heartbroken.
@@ironmyno Yeah, very sad 😔
He was a great talent. RIP. Thanks for sharing your gift.
😭
The energy in his voice, in his dancing. Amazing. You passed too young Buddy. Thanks for leaving us with this.
Yeah this mofo was talented
was Dan Hartman known as a dancer? 🤔
Horrible dancer
@@Matterhorny He was the Bassist for Edgar Winter Group.
I was born in 1978 but will always claim to be an 80s baby. The music, the style, the movies...that whole Era was just such a vibe. I miss it.😢
I really love this song Dan Hartman.
This song was on my mind today.
Dan Hartman is terrific artist.
I Can Dream About You By Dan Hartman.
Such a timeless song! RIP, Dan. 🙏
We need music like this again!! Too much crazy b/s going on in this country, we need to feel good again.
Boy, isn't that the truth!
Amanda Fernatt Amanda you took the words right out of my mouth! I grew up on this great music and we need it again!
I would like to listen to this song with you lady so we can dance together all night passion make love to you,
Back in 1979 there was "Disco Demolition Derby" at Comisky Park in Chicago (where the White Sox played). It was in the intermission of a double header. Everybody was told to bring a disco record, and they'll get a discount admission. The records were gathered and set fire to pyrotechnics. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK WHY DON'T WE DO THAT AGAIN, WITH THE POST-Y2K CRAP WE HEAR NO-STOP NOWADAYS?
well were not going to get it. TV rather show us a rapist Donald Trump instead of a good music. They don't even show music videos on TV anymore. I just watch UA-cam music videos all day and block out all the negativity going on. the second this song starts is when I feel like getting up and dance a lil, the bass line is awesome.
JANUARY 2024. DANCING WITH IT. FEELS GOOD !!!!!❤
The summer of 84 nice jam
Música linda pra dançar, bons momentos, inesquecíveis ❤❤❤ OBRIGADO DEUS POR TER VIVIDO ESSA ÉPOCA ❤❤❤
Nothing better!
40 years later, still listening.
80's❤👌
62 y sigo escuchando esta maravillosa musica de mi juventud qe vivan los 80's
This may be an '80s song, but it sounds timeless. It's got hints of Motown, disco, funk, synth-pop, bar-band rock, like it's the ideal synergy of pop music.
He was into all those styles of music
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Hartman definitely belonged in that select group that can do "Blue Eyed Soul" flawlessly.
you are absolutely right :)
I say most if not all 80’s music is timeless.
R.I.P. Dan Hartman, you were a really great singer. You'll be missed forever. 😭
he wrote a lot of songs, this was one of them
I guess he was underrated talent
Amen!
I did not know he died , such a great guy
@@christianwolfe4405 he died like 24 years ago. sadly very talented, dude had soul
My sister says that sometimes, when she listens to old music, she imagines living in a better time, even though she was born in 2003. Listening to music like this, I understand what she is talking about.
MAGA 🇺🇸😎👍
Magical...lovely and beautiful ...❤
People were kinder, less vain, less self absorbed. More real. It's true. I was there
It was just as good as she remembers, although she was never there. The president ate jellybeans, the world was becoming more free, and we were less afraid than we ever will be again.
@@Themanwhocameback2 So true:)
🔥 🔥 from what this song was before to what it is now is the result of growth, consistency, and passion. Incredible performance.
What an amazing song from the 80s.
sauddade!
Back when Willem Dafoe is a BADASSHOLE in Streets of Fire movie
On. No
It was a love song to Diane Lane for me.
OneUltimateWarrior Wow! Sweet!
This song brings me back to better times, when things made sense.❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
You're not kidding.....different era...different times...better times for sure.
@@305dadecounty_grabberbluem5 indeed ❤🇬🇧❤️
Indeed 🌎
80s were pretty bad for some of us. But the music made up for a lot.
🙏✝️🇺🇲🌎🙏✝️🇺🇲🌎🙏
Another banger from the 80s! The 80s.....so good!!! So glad i grew up in that generation!!!
People of the 80s are you still listening to this song
Sometimes when im stressed out í like to listen to 80s music it makes me feel much better My mind goes back to those wonderful days 💕
Great strategy !!
Likewise, that’s is exactly why I’m here, now.
Me too
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏
What a pretty and enchanting woman ,hello, my darling ?
What a prolific talent Dan Hartman was, gone way to soon! The 80’s were a blast, when we danced just for the heck of it..the music was a refuge and the talent was phenomenal! I can listen to this song over and over again.
This song makes me happy :) I wish today's music had the same affect.
This was fire then ...still is really singing the songs
The 80's were the absolute best 🙏🎊
This is one of those songs that makes you happy and reminisce at the same time. Doesn’t hurt that he had a gorgeous voice.
I wish the verses were longer than a few seconds. The tune/beat are unbelievable!
I agree. Very nice sound.
Verse melody is way better than the chorus melody
I agree, but I'm sure that's intentional. If you give a song everything in one listen, you just listen and get what you want and move on. But when you just want your favorite part one more time and then before you know it you've listened to it 5+ times for it, that's what's creates replay value.
The 80's was my early teenage years.. such great music that had meaning and a message. Not like todays music. I need to return to the 80's and stay for awhile.
Mr. morgan you'll be young in Heaven
I'd return to the 80's and stay for good 😆
@@neneg.4264 If only we can build a time travel machine that really works!! I'm gone!
Mr. morgan Forget staying their awhile, I wanna stay in the 80’s permanently. This 21st century is getting progressively worse and worse. Gotta think we’re heading to doomsday sooner rather than later.
Same here buddy.
I had such a blast in the 80’s. If I had the chance I would definitely go back. ❤😊
Me too.
Hi
Ahhh the 80's...real music, real friends and no social media. It wasn't just an Era in time, IT WAS A MAGICAL REALM!!
Agree 1000%
