Dan Hartman was such an underappreciated artist. Jay, you've forgotten how much you loved Instant Replay, which is VERY uptempo. I Can Dream About You with its moving sidewalks was written by Dan Hartman for Hall & Oates, but they turned it down. NOW, you absolutely must hear his epic Vertigo/Relight My Fire. It is definitely FIRE! RIP Dan Hartman, who was taken from us too soon by AIDS.
Ok. You can't just say "tuning in from Fiji." You must, MUST rub it our faces, that WE, a) aren't in Fiji b) don't LIVE in Fiji c) will NEVER live in PARADISE. I expected better from you N--6!
Dan Hartrman passed away from AIDS several years ago, just FYI. I'm HIV+, and followed Dan's career closely, both with the Edgar Winter Group and solo. He did have a disco hit - "Instant Replay" - which is simply charming. Thanks for delving a little into his work - I appreciate it.
I sing this to my wife whenever I hear it. I think it was in movie Streets of Fire. Just some trivia, he was also a former member of the Edgar Winter group. So now you’ve reacted to Edgar Winter Group, Rick Derringer, and Dan Hartman.
Yep. SoF. Another great Walter Hill joint (one of my favorite directors). An underrated movie, IMO. Saw it in the theater (it was a box office bomb). I recommend this movie for a reaction video.
@@RabbiSteve I saw it in the theatre too. I love this movie! Great cast, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, and Amy Madigan, they've reacted to 2 of her movies already. I'm a huge Walter Hill Fan. I recommend people watching a lot of his films, "Streets of Fire", "The Warriors", "48 Hrs", "The Long Riders", "Extreme Prejudice", "Red Heat", "Southern Comfort". He is the king of action movies.
Dan was an amazing singer and performer (look up this one on Letterman) but also write songs for other artists. He actually offered this song to Hall and Oates because they were good friends. They turned him down so he made it into a huge hit all by himself! They stayed friends and they ended up recording a version (after he passed) as a tribute. ❤️
Funny Fact ... -- He also had to serve prison time right as the song started to chart... so he actually made money off the royalties, because the Label did not have him out touring and racking up bills
I never knew about him offering this to Hall and Oates... but it makes TOTAL sense, as this sounds SO much like them! Good for Dan for doing this himself!
This is from the movie “Streets of Fire “. It’s had one of the best soundtracks ever. The video playing on the TV is scenes from the movie. The movie was good but wasn’t a big hit but the soundtrack was huge.
The story goes that a planned music video for this song was made using footage of the group The Sorels which you see performing here on the TV set. It's from the movie " Streets of Fire", with the lead singer Winston Ford. When Dan Hartman got wind of this, he put a stop to it, as his contract stipulated that any version released commercially or for promotional purposes had to have his voice on it. Hartman recorded a new vocal for the video that replaced the one recorded by Winston Ford. A new video with Hartman lip-syncing was later made for the song. Winston Ford himself tragically died young at the age of 55 in a car accident in 2007. RIP - Both Artists taken away from us way too soon.
This was a very popular song in my childhood. The 1980s was a great time to be a music fan. There was so much variety in the music. A lot of the performers carved out their own paths in their musical expression. I miss the 1980s it was a great time... I loved this song back then.
Listening to his a vowel lyrics just melts like honey and the guitars funky jabs and bass! Aww i could just listen to that part over the over! His guitars mix is captivating to the 80's sound. It takes me back to good moments ✨️
One of my favorite songs! My dad could not understand that the video was from a movie and that it was not a black male group singing this song....we still laugh about and he STILL does not believe me that it is Dan Hartman!
For decades, I also thought the guys on the TV were singing the song...until this past year or two when I saw the music video again and couldn't believe it was the white guy singing it! Only took me about 40 years to realize this!
The singers in the TV behind the bar were ‘singing’ I can Dream in the movie “Streets of Fire”. I VERY highly recommend you see it. You will see a young Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Michael Pare, and a very nasty looking Willem Defoe, all along with great music!
I bought this 45 record when it came out and I still love hearing it nearly 40 years later. It is sheer perfection from beginning to end. It has soul, power, tenderness, sweetness all rolled together. His lead vocals are outstanding. And I love the backup vocals. My favorite line is "Moving sidewalks -- I don't see under my feet". That totally captures the feeling of desire. Just hearing this song makes me feel young again.
Yes please! Streets of fire is one of my all-time favorite cult films. With a lot of great actors. The soundtrack is fabulous. A lot of music is featured in this movie.
Good ol days.. everytime I hear this, I remember Casey Kasem and American Top40.. 1984,1985 great years in music. If I recall correctly, these were in or almost the same time when this was in the countdown, along with Don Henley's Boys Of Summer, Steve Perry's Oh Sherrie, Night Ranger's Sister Christian, Kool & The Gang's Joanna and Misled, Duran Duran's Wild Boys, Wham!'s Everything She Wants, John Waite's Missing You, Van Stephenson's Modern Day Delilah, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band's On The Dark Side, etc...
" I Can Dream About You" is one of my all-time favorite songs of the 80s! You should check out Dan and his band's performance of this song on Soul Train. They are on fire! 🔥 And, Jay, if you want a faster Dan Hartman song, check out his disco hit "Instant Replay"! 🎶
This song was featured in 'Streets of Fire' and Robert Townsend, Mykelti Williamson (Bubba from Forrest Gump) and Grand L. Bush (Agent Johnson from Die Hard) were members of the group featured in the film as the song's performers.
an all time favorite. originally written for hall and oates but they already finished the album they were working on and had no space for it so dan recorded it himself. emulating h&o’s backing vocal arrangements
He wrote, played bass, and sang lead on the Edgar Winter Group “Free Ride”. A great song but very different. Also the girl in the video is Joyce Heyser who starred in “Just One of the Guys” around the same time this song came out.
Dan was riding in a limo in NYC, getting around to doing some Christmas shopping, when he noticed that shoppers were hustling and bustling along, yet not really at all enamored with shopping for Christmas, which gave him the idea of this song, which he was in the middle of writing as it already was. "Moving sidewalks I don't see under my feet Climbing up from down here below Where the streets see me lonely for you, oh" It was his way of expressing that Christmas shopping has turned into a chore, not fun anymore, just going through the motions, as having these strong feelings for another and wanting to just be with them instead. Pretty clever and genius, yet also very relatable with the thoughts and words that he chose for this song, his signature solo song.
Dan Hartman was the bassist for the Edgar Winter Group. He played on the phenomenal "Frankenstein" live video you watched. Hall and Oates do a great cover of this one.
He wrote that song for me in the 1980ies. We met in 1982 in Copenhagen, and we remained so until his early death from AIDS in the nineties. I still hear this song on the radio. Can’t believe it was such a big hit
Hello, Jay an Amber. Dan Hartman is certainly talented. The first song of Dan's that I heard was his first single, Instant Replay in 1978 when I was, 17. I love it, still!
Dan, who helped produce Edgar Winter on a few of his album, who was a member of the band for many year, and was the bass player on the "Frankenstein" video you reacted to had quite a few hits. His greatest two IMO were his great, classic dance singles "(Vertigo) Relight My Fire" and "Love Sensation" both featuring the great Loletta Holloway.
Huge hit when it came out; still resonates to this day. It's one of those songs that was an instant favorite and just persists as a song that always feels good to listen to. Love it!
The umpha umpha umpha of the late 1970 to early 80. Really something else. Remember Sylvester. You make feel mighty real. And Do you wanna funk. Jeez I wish I could recall those days 😃😃
He was the bass player for the Edgar Winter Group. Remember when y’all were blown away by “Frankenstein”? He wrote and sang “Rock-n-Roll Hoochie Koo” for the EWG. He was a phenomenal musician and songwriter.
The TV clips from this song were because this song was part of the movie "Streets of Fire", where the guys on stage performed it as a motown-type of band.
Dan actually wrote it for Hall and Oats but they were too busy finishing up another album I believe so Dan sang it himself. I actually just found that out earlier today lol 🙏🏻
This song reminds me of going to my grandparents house at the NJ shore, was always on the radio. 📻. He also did a song on the soundtrack to the movie Fletch, song “Fletch get out of town”.
I only knew this song from the movie playing on the tv in this video. Always thought it was a group. Was totally shocked to see who actually sang it and of course had to look into his other work. He had already passed by then sadly.
SO happy for this! My first experience with this song was the MTV video...from the movie...my high school had a talent show each year, and they did a Lip Sync segment, because it was big at the time. I came up with a performance....I "lipped" lead, and actually did a good moonwalk...based on the video. Got a ton of kudos. But always love the song as well.
One of my favorite Dan Hartman's songs was Relight My Fire. This song was from a movie called Streets of Fire- which is what they're showing on the TV.. He was such a talented guy and he is greatly missed
Interesting fact about this song, before Dan Hartman recorded this song he had offered it to Hall & Oats. They declined the song since they had just finished their album and had no more room on the album. They were watching MTV months later and heard the song with Hartman singing it. … said it was one of the best songs they never recorded. LOL
If I remember correctly, this was on the soundtrack to a movie in the '80s called streets of fire. This was my very first introduction to blue-eyed soul
I really don't remember this song from Dan Hartman. I loved him in the Edgar Winter Group though and a lot of his solo work. When I was much younger, I used his record "Instant Replay" for my routine when I tried out for a semi-pro football team cheerleader position and ended up on the squad. Those were a fabulous few years for me. Got noticed and even became a model based on it. For that, I'll forever be grateful to Dan Hartman. It was fun at that age. Of course, after a few years, I moved on from that and the superficiality of it all. I had more in mind for my life.
Dan Hartman was such an underappreciated artist. Jay, you've forgotten how much you loved Instant Replay, which is VERY uptempo. I Can Dream About You with its moving sidewalks was written by Dan Hartman for Hall & Oates, but they turned it down. NOW, you absolutely must hear his epic Vertigo/Relight My Fire.

Fantastic choice, a favourite from the 80s. RIP Dan Hartman. Tuning in from Fiji 🇫🇯
I would love to visit Fiji one day. My sister has traveled all over the world and she said the most beautiful country she ever saw was Fiji.
@@leticiaworboys9927 vinaka vakalevu (thank you). I hope your sister enjoyed her stay in Fiji.
Ok. You can't just say "tuning in from Fiji." You must, MUST rub it our faces, that WE, a) aren't in Fiji b) don't LIVE in Fiji c) will NEVER live in PARADISE. I expected better from you N--6!
@@JazzDrummer1946 Umm wow…he might be a local native for all we know though 🤷🏽♀️ Is this a joke or are you insulting them?
He was from my hometown (Harrisburg, PA) and wrote "Living In America" for James Brown
Ah takes me right back to the 80s - classic tune! RIP Dan Hartman - sorely missed! Definitely a nostalgia trip for me!
This song was one of my fav to dance to! Non stop ! “You know you got me spellbound !” My friends and I use to dance and sing to it! So much fun!
Dan Hartrman passed away from AIDS several years ago, just FYI. I'm HIV+, and followed Dan's career closely, both with the Edgar Winter Group and solo. He did have a disco hit - "Instant Replay" - which is simply charming. Thanks for delving a little into his work - I appreciate it.
Prayers man!
May God be with you!!!
While he was HIV+, he actually died due to a brain tumor. Blessings to you my survivor!
Sorry 😞 didn't know...May God bless you and keep you hun.
Stop spreading LIES!! He didn't Die from AIDS. He died from a Brain Tumor.
Fun fact. He wrote this song for his friends, Daryl Hall & John Oates but they alr finished their album. So he kept it and here we are.
I sing this to my wife whenever I hear it. I think it was in movie Streets of Fire.
Just some trivia, he was also a former member of the Edgar Winter group. So now you’ve reacted to Edgar Winter Group, Rick Derringer, and Dan Hartman.
The pictures on the tv screen in the video are from movie Streets of fire.
Yep. SoF. Another great Walter Hill joint (one of my favorite directors). An underrated movie, IMO. Saw it in the theater (it was a box office bomb).
I recommend this movie for a reaction video.
Streets of Fire. First time seeing Willem Dafoe. 🔥
@@RabbiSteve I saw it in the theatre too. I love this movie! Great cast, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, and Amy Madigan, they've reacted to 2 of her movies already. I'm a huge Walter Hill Fan. I recommend people watching a lot of his films, "Streets of Fire", "The Warriors", "48 Hrs", "The Long Riders", "Extreme Prejudice", "Red Heat", "Southern Comfort". He is the king of action movies.
He wrote Free Ride for them

For a long time I thought this was Hall n Oates. I'll have to look for the tribute version. Thanks
I always thought this was hall and oats.... Im shook.
Love this song! It’s also featured in the movie streets of fire
A Rock and Roll Fable
@@nolantomlinson7554 Yeah.. William Dafoe
I wonder if they'd react to Streets of Fire in their movie channel?
Or reactbto The Blasters on this channel!
@@samuelgates5935 My hubby played little league baseball with "little Billy Dafoe" in Appleton Wisconsin!! LOL!! Small world!
I was in high school in the 80’s , I miss the music and just having fun back when MTV actually played music videos.
Me too! High school in 80s MTV generation
This is from the movie “Streets of Fire “. It’s had one of the best soundtracks ever. The video playing on the TV is scenes from the movie. The movie was good but wasn’t a big hit but the soundtrack was huge.

Yes please! Streets of fire is one of my all-time favorite cult films. With a lot of great actors. The soundtrack is fabulous. A lot of music is featured in this movie.
Great film with young Willem Defoe and brilliant songs by Jim Steinman
Thanks you saved me a lot of typing!
Just told them the same thing great movie
I have suggested both the movie and "Nowhere Fast" and '" Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" several times both by email and comments
This song is OUTSTANDING! Always special to hear it! :)
Second Nature Dan Hartman -another great song by him. Soulful funky and bright.
Very talented musician and songwriter from Harrisburg, PA. RIP Mr Hartman.
Serious high school memories going on with this one. Haven't heard this in ages. Job done you two. I am most definitely smiling. 🇭🇲
I will say. One of my top two songs from the 1980’s.
Good ol days.. everytime I hear this, I remember Casey Kasem and American Top40.. 1984,1985 great years in music.

Lots of songs remind me of the 80s... this song puts me there.. more than any other. I love it
Dan Hartman had a great voice, he wrote and sang The Edgar Winter Group's hit Free Ride
Always loved this song. Takes me back to my childhood; we ALWAYS had the radio on, and this was a radio staple

This is one of those songs that makes me miss the 80's so much. Glad you chose this. "Instant Replay" is his other hit from 1979.
One of my favorites. Just love it.
Dan Hartman had a soulful voice and he could hit the high notes with great ease. He also wrote and produced living in America by James brown.
Right, and Simply the Best too! Maybe you like this video about DH too? ua-cam.com/video/y0cuZSrLa_Y/v-deo.html
Great 80s song! Dan Hartman was in The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer. He wrote and sang the band's hit "Free Ride" in 1972.
RIP Dan Hartman, LEGEND!
This takes me back when this song came out. Love this song!😍
I used to LOVE cruising with my windows down, belting this song!!!!!
Dan was riding in a limo in NYC, getting around to doing some Christmas shopping, when he noticed that shoppers were hustling and bustling along, yet not really at all enamored with shopping for Christmas, which gave him the idea of this song, which he was in the middle of writing as it already was.
"Moving sidewalks
I don't see under my feet
Climbing up from down here below
Where the streets see me lonely for you, oh"

Pretty clever and genius, yet also very relatable with the thoughts and words that he chose for this song, his signature solo song.
Always a wonderful vibe & great, wise observations! Another superb Hartman song was "Instant Replay." All kinds of fun. May he rest in eternal peace.

Underrated artist. Dan should have been much bigger than he was. RIP DH.
One of my dad's last favorite songs before he died. I burned cd's for him and they always had to include this song.
OHHhhh!!! I know this song! Didn't know the artist before now - great song. Definitely a head-bobber!
I loved this song. It was the soundtrack to my 6th grade crush.
This was one of my most finest memories of the 80s. This song stayed always on my mind.
❤️
Oh this song is fantastic. Such an 80's classic.
Happy Sunday, Just chillin' today, ready for my fav lil family...Mid 80s really had fun with their music and videos...R.I.P. Dan...Thanx Y'all, Peace
A soulful heartfelt song with emotion, the emotion of love.
My teen years in the 80s, always liked this song. 😊
Dan always reminded me of Darryl Hall with that soulful sound
Huge hit when it came out; still resonates to this day. It's one of those songs that was an instant favorite and just persists as a song that always feels good to listen to. Love it!
Great 80's pop song! Dan Hartman RIP.
Dan wrote "Living In America" for James Brown...have to listen to his "Autumn" from his Edgar Winter days.
I have listened to this song many times and love it more and more each time🙂
I love this man's voice! So sad he left us to soon.
The umpha umpha umpha of the late 1970 to early 80. Really something else. Remember Sylvester. You make feel mighty real. And Do you wanna funk. Jeez I wish I could recall those days 😃😃
This was from the movie Streets of Fire. Fun kinda fluffy film. Nice choice. Thanks again for this smile.
This song was basically written to be the theme song for a television show in the mid 1980s. It was called the Insiders.
He was the bass player for the Edgar Winter Group. Remember when y’all were blown away by “Frankenstein”? He wrote and sang “Rock-n-Roll Hoochie Koo” for the EWG.
He was a phenomenal musician and songwriter.
Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo was not EWG it was Rick Derringer (solo).
This is one of my favorite jams
The TV clips from this song were because this song was part of the movie "Streets of Fire", where the guys on stage performed it as a motown-type of band.
always loved this song.... it has Motown written all over it. its a rockin dance song
One of the greatest voices and songs of all time
I have always loved this song. It reminds me of a Hall & Oates song.
Dan actually wrote it for Hall and Oats but they were too busy finishing up another album I believe so Dan sang it himself. I actually just found that out earlier today lol 🙏🏻
Dan Hartman wrote and sang Edgar Winter Group's biggest hit "Free Ride" which was featured in many commercials for quite awhile.
15 years old! Loved this Jam!!!
This is one of my favorite songs!
This song reminds me of going to my grandparents house at the NJ shore, was always on the radio. 📻. He also did a song on the soundtrack to the movie Fletch, song “Fletch get out of town”.
Oh, the memories! I was a teenager in the 80's and yeah...it was that great!!!
Such a great young talent to have passed at such an early age.
“Instant Replay” is another big hit by Dan Hartman.

one of my fave songs ever...didn’t know what dude looked like until years after it came out....they always had the sorrells in the video on mtv lol .
Omg! I love this song! It’s been a long time since I heard this and it’s still wonderful!
One of my fav songs back in the early 80s
Free Ride is such a great song from the 70s, and this one in the 80s. So transporting!
Female Friday- 80’s genre- Goodbye to you by Scandal,awesome song.
We are the young, by dan Hartman
I love this song!!. He's great.
