@@OhMyGoshIndia , Its hard to understand why they would block you, in reality you are promoting the artist and possibly helping them to chart on iTunes.
@@bkm2797 Well, Dan Hartman is deceased and bands/artists see no significant financial gain from streaming either way. Management company gets the bread, TH-cam is ran by a set of algorithms that essentially "crawl" their servers and flag things and block things and control the content in a very "set it and forget it" manner.
I saw STREETS OF FIRE in the theater back in the day. This song was a huge hit and the video that played on Mtv was actually a clip of the group in the movie singing. We were all kind of shocked to find out that in reality it was a while guy singing this song and Stoney Jackson had been lip syncing in the movie. I'm sure there are people who loved the song that still don't know. Great song. Great movie.
Yah, I remember some of my classmates being confused about the actual singer when the video came out in '84. Same way we ALL felt the first time we'd heard of Rick Astley. 🤔
Singer Dan Hartman is the bartender. The dudes on the television are the "group" from the movie "Streets of Fire" in which they portrayed the group singing the song. There's another video of this song with their lip synching performance. Note that one of the "group" members is Robert Townsend, from "The Five Heartbeats."
But according to what I've read, Dan Hartman stole the song and replaced the vocal tracks of Winston Ford (who sings the song as it's heard in the movie) with his own. Both of them have since passed away, Hartman in the '90s of AIDS complications and Ford in 2007 in a single-vehicle car accident.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. My mom and I use to listen to it when I was a kid. She passed away a year ago and every time I hear it I automatically think of her.
He was once booked at the Apollo Theater he went they thought he was the black guy in the video.He laughed went out played Free Ride,his disco hit Instant Replay Living in America he wrote for James Brown and this song a hit at the time.Crowd went nuts!
His voice was phenomenal, this was a great pop rock song very reminiscent of Hall and Oats. Why can't people sing like this anymore? Great video, one point to make with respect! Those bits where you are "sorry about that" talk to us, tell us what the music is doing, is it what you were expecting, chord changes how they change your emotions, how the lyrics get you etc etc. Thanks once again
He wrote the song for hall and Oates and they rejected it so he cut it himself. Years later they did a cover nowhere near as good because they were much older. Sadly he died at 43 of a brain tumor
the late Loletta (sp.) Holloway helped take care of him throughout his ordeal, hope they both are singing together in the clouds "relight my fire." RIL Loletta and Dan.
This is definitely a great song and I love your reaction to it. I saw a Hall and Oates documentary here on TH-cam where they were telling that Dan wrote this song with them in mind but they had just wrapped up a new album they were going to release so they really couldn’t use it at the time so he went ahead and did this fantastic recording of the song
A lot of people don't realize how much Dan Hartman touched the music industry. He was a member of the Edgar Winter Group and was also in Johnny Winter's band for a time. Hartman was also a session musician that supported artists as diverse as Ian Hunter, Stevie Wonder, Todd Rundgren, and Ronnie Montrose. The song is from the movie Streets of Fire. This is one my favorite songs Thanks India!
@@MonkeyFace544 I know she's made appearances on tv shows,but I can't find any info on what she's doing now. She 62 years old.Gawd that makes me feel old!
Thank you for bringing up more memories with music. It's another one of my dance songs. I am a senior but still can shake a leg at get ttogethers. Love your channel. 👩🦳👍🫶🎤🎶💜🙏
Thank you for reacting to this one. I was a resident DJ in a club and this was always on the early 8:30 mix for the 80’s fans. Then at 10:00 pm, I played and mixed Hip-Hop and R&B.
I am the oldest of 3. When the movie came out that this song is from, carried my sister and brother with me to see it. After my brother saw it, we would catch him trying to move like the guys from the movie singing it.
@@johnnypickens9228 I forgot that he is also on live version of "Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo", Rick Derringer with Edgar Winter Group. Please check that out also. ! :)
Dan Hartmann presented a song he had written " I can dream about you" In fact, he had written it a few months ago for his friends Hall and Oates but they had just finished their new album and suggested he sing this song
Before recording this, Hartman was the singer for Edgar Winter's band (he did the instrumental "Frankenstein" that you reviewed a few weeks back), and their most famous collaboration was "Free Ride," which is a classic rock radio staple.
Also another one of his Hits Relight My Fire was used in the 1970's in a perfume Commercial for Senchal where you saw Male Models. In the 1990's The UK Boy Band Take That did their version with Lulu (The Former First Mrs. Maurice Gibb The Bee Gees).
I used to play this for my wife before I left for work on night shift and we knew we’d have to wait all night until the dawn before we could be in each other’s arms again. Romantic as all get out!
Such an amazng singer, musician (plays nearly all the instruments on his songs), and producer. Sadly underrated because he mainly kept a low profile and preferred producing other recording artists including Tina Turner & James Brown. Since James Brown passed on being produced by Michael Jackson or Prince and wanted Dan Hartman, you know he's got something really special. His other classic was the disco hit "Instant Replay".
@@sheilameyers152 That's my favorite line from the song. When I was a kid there's was something very magical about that imagery. Still captures my imagination today every time I hear it. :)
The video within the video is the scene from the movie "Streets of Fire"...many people thought that Stoney Jackson was actually singing the song. The name of the group in the movie is The Sorels and check out the background singers...Grand L. Bush, Mykelti Williamson, and Robert Townsend.
I'd forgotten all about this song but I remembered the title when I read it. A pure 80's mover. I can't find a reaction to the following song anywhere on TH-cam - 'The Time is Now' by Moloko. It needs to be christened.
Dan Hartman was known for his disco hits but he did a lot of writing for other artists and this is one of his 80s classics. Unfortunately, he passed away far too young due to AIDS.
I love this song and the movie "Streets on Fire." Was surprised to see who really sang this song!! Great artist gone to soon! Actor, Stoney Jackson was the lead singer in this movie with Robert Townsend.
The name of the group in the movie is "The Sorels". The movie it belongs to contained quite a few songs that were lipsynched by the actors. The singers in the movie did not sing songs. You can actually rent the movie from TH-cam.
You can't listen to Dan Hartman without listening to one of the most legendary disco or what's now called house music classics of all-time that he made feat. the legendary Loleatta Hollaway. Vertigo/Relight My Fire and it's gotta be the full extended mix.
The actress is Joyce Hyser who appeared in One Of The Boys and was once (I think) Bruce Springsteen's girlfriend. Dan was also in Edgar Winter Group during a very successful period with Free Ride "Easy Street" and "River's Risin'".
You would seriously, seriously love the Streets of Fire movies. So many great actors and so much great music in that movie. The cinematography was fantastic, and the sets were gorgeous, almost surrealistic, which was their intention, a fantasy world.
From here, you just need to explore the rest of the Streets Of Fire soundtrack, where this song came from. Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young and Nowhere Fast are amazing songs.
What’s with the yt pop up “Sorry about that”?

There's a few "he's white ?!" songs out there.
Procol Harum is definitely another one.
Loved Streets of Fire! Underrated movie. Willem DaFoe was a great bad guy!
Yah, I remember some of my classmates being confused about the actual singer when the video came out in '84. Same way we ALL felt the first time we'd heard of Rick Astley. 🤔
I love that movie. I just watched it.
The best part of Streets of Fire was seeing Lee Ving punch Rick Moranis' lights out.

Robert Townsend, Mykal T. Williamson, Stoney Jackson( lead singer) and the guy from every movie in the 70s and 80s and Lethal Weapon.

"Living In America"! Dan Hartman was a real "child" prodigy. He could play any instrument, sing, write songs, produce. He was the whole package.
His voice was phenomenal, this was a great pop rock song very reminiscent of Hall and Oats.
Why can't people sing like this anymore?

That's so cool that you reacted to this song, as nobody seems to know it. Streets of Fire! SO good!
I'll give you props even if India won't.
Another one of the many great dance songs we had in the 80’s. RIP Dan Hartman a talented song writer and musician.
Great song and also the movie that this song was in , Streets of Fire!
I just watched Streets of Fire. Lol
Love Streets of Fire!
I love that movie!!!
@@AnthonyLaMastra Me too. It features a young Willem DaFoe. Crazy as usual.

Love this one my jam of the 80's
One of my all-time favourite songs. It takes me back to 1984 and the girl I was madly in love with dancing in the nightclub. Beautiful memories.
Also the girl in the video is Joyce Hyser. She was in a great 80's movie called Just One of The Guys.You should check it out!

I thought she looked familiar! Good call!

The Edgar Winter Group's "Free Ride" is actually a Dan Hartman song (he was their bassist, iirc).
And lead singer...he actually wrote that song
