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.
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.
🎤🖋🎼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.
In the 80’s we lived……for our friends and Friday night……not for our phones…..we made real memories, not created them for some post for likes…….we had 5-10 real friends (but knew everyone in our class), instead of having 500 “friends” and “likes”……..
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.
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.
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! ❤
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dan Hartman's appearance on "Soul Train" singing this song rocked the house that episode. Check it out on TH-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 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!!!!!
this is an incredibly well constructed, well-crafted and well performed piece of musical genius when you really look at it. This guy was a musical prodigy recognized at a very early age.
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.
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.
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 !!!
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
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...🙂🙂
Great song. I remember being in a bar about the time this song came out. Everyone dancing, smiling, drinks, no phones. Now in my 50's those days are long past. I was dressed in a jeans and blazer doing my best to look sharp/cool. Hair on point. I married in 2002 to someone who thought just that. Whew! It worked. 😊
One thing about growing up GEN X , we were taught through music to manifest what we desired. Be it love, money, family or friendship, if we could dream it we could have it. But The Crazy part about that is , we manifested our future back then and why GenX is more at peace with ourselves now than generations before us and after. Long live the feral, the strong, the invisible, the seen and not heard. Love live GENERATION X.
Me, either...I was 8 y.o. in 1980, and graduated in 1989...got to live the best of the whole decade, I especially remember the launch of MTV, and how much my sister and I loved to watch that channel over the summer of '84....
I turned 8 in 8/15 of 84. Between 1st an 2nd grades. . I really miss this days. Mostly I miss the family that have passed sine then... I miss how life was back then. Thank GOD almighty I still have my Mom.
@@danlc95 Hear you loud and clear....I was 12 y.o. in 1984, and somehow, we didn't need all of today's technology to have a blast...because it was all human interaction and the love of our friendships, instead of all this social media....
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.
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 😊
@WinGate Mose This song was played at many junior high school dances plus during my sophomore year of high school at a talent show three classmates and I performed this song
I was born in 95' and I still found my way to the treasure trove of 60's, 70's, and 80's music. I have no doubt that alot of younger folks will find this music appealing.
Beautiful classic loving ❤️ the 80s miss these lyrical wonders that tell a true feeling of Love ❤️ ❤🎉❤ Greetings from Beautiful Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺
I guess we all wish we could go back to our time as teenagers in the 80’s. My daughter loves all the music we were lucky enough to have in the 80’s all genres. Every month a new top 10
My daughter is the same. She listens to a lot of the music I listened to when I was her age and younger. She loves queen and asked to go to their concerts. I had to explain Freddie isn't here anymore.
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 🙌🏼♥️
I saw Dan Hartman playing bass for Edgar Winter in 1972 and 1973. He also did a killer Hendrix style guitar solo with a Stratocaster. The voice and writer behind "Free Ride".
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
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
U R So Right! The 80's what a time for Livin with the economy, president, tv series: macgyver, streethawk, airwolf, A-Team, and above all the Greatest Decade 4 Music
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.
The 80’s is the only decade where everyone tailored their music to the same demo. You had Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston who ruled the decade. Then you had older bands like Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Aerosmith who went to a more pop sound to change with the time. Even Whitesnake and Motley Crew had their power ballads. The 90’s is when MTV audience imploded because there were too many different types of music. Grunge were playing to one demo, HipHop/Rap were playing to another and Pop like Britney and NSync playing to another. What does MTV play? That’s why 80’s MTV worked.
@@chrisolivo6591 MTV imploded in the 90s because the focus shifted to so-called "reality TV" and talk shows, and away from 24/7 music programming. Also, MTV had a literally racist programming format at its inception. People forget that they would not play videos by black artists until Michael Jackson came along.
Amen....I was in 9th grade in 1981...that summer was my best year as a teenager.....I dated a woman Theresa Troiano in Syracuse NY. She was 17, and I was 13....I could dream about her.....miss those days. 3 plus years ago I met up with her and she had the Audacity to say she didn't know who i was???? my Best Friend from that time who is still my Best Friend told me not to worry...maybe she was embarrassed to let anyone know we dated at those ages? She's married now so why would she lie and say she didn't remember me? I dated her the entire summer of 1981....sadly her parents and sister Rita are all passed....? Oh well....weird?! Thank God my Friend Tony recalls....we had met her and her sister at Schiller Park pool....Tony wanted to date Rita and I wanted to date Theresa....she even Taught me how to FRENCH Kiss?????!!!!
@@AM-br4ix How lucky you must have felt at that time to be dating an older woman. I know I sure would have 😊😊. Anyways, her loss to deny you has a person she knew because those memories are what makes life special. We need the 80’s back!!!
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.
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.
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
Joshua Jeffries yeah because you haven’t explored what good music is today, you’re just showing the world currently that you’ve only scratched the shitty surface of today’s music, not to mention during the 80s people hated modern music too
@@kensword73 Not to mention that back in those days, people often claimed one genre or another as theirs, and were put off from a lot of good music by fans that only seemed to like either pop, or reaggae, or hard rock, or synth, and so on, and hate any of the other. The same kind of ignorance happen today: I've seen people claim that Aria Grande makes bad music and can't sing, but yes she can! Same with Sia, several of her songs is especially good if you feel down, heck, did you know she's the singer on "Titanium" by David Guetta? Then there is the songs made by Jeff Williams for the animated series RWBY and sung by his daughter Casey Lee, and it do sound good, just check it out, as well as the songs made by Daniel Ingram for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. YES i just suggested music from My Little Pony ... but several of them are indeed good, just dare to check them out. .... Oh, and Kensword, i wrote this reply to anyone that might read it, not only to you. ^_^

That song brought me to TH-cam. What a great song that is. Was 6 when that song came out.

Sadly this era of music has come and gone, a blessed witness, the 80s will never die..

It didn't die.... it's alive and well. As long as we're alive.....it lives!!!!
Best Era of Music !!!
No way man.
Music used to be like Fashion in that it went round circles ..
Now Music goes around in a Triangle.🐎🇦🇺
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.
you mean when your parents were handling the bill for your laziness & daydreaming
I'm with you on that
We definitely were very lucky.
You’ve struck a note with me with your comment and sentiment. This song definitely hits a high note.
I puts me in a lovely place ❤️💯
Dan wrote this song for Hall and Oats. I’m glad he ended up recording it himself. Perfect 80’s song that still sounds amazing! ❤RIP Dan!
That is really interesting because it has that "Hall & Oats" feel. Especially in the beginning. Great song nonetheless....
So glad he did record it himself it has same sort of sound for them but he did right most of there songs ❤️
I can easily imagine H&O doing this song a lot of justice, but Dan was fantastic doing it himself.
It is crasy.... but for endless years I thought Were Hall and Oats.... Lol
Glad ur glad

70's, 80's and early 90's.
But nothing is worse than the garbage auto-tune stuff of today.
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 and me. The same age in the same decade. Loved going out. We always dressed up.
You got me by four years (born in 64), yes the music in the 80's were GREAT!
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...🙂🙂
The same age I know exactly how you feel, going through college in the mid eighties, care free
Hell of a lot better than nowadays
Great song. I remember being in a bar about the time this song came out. Everyone dancing, smiling, drinks, no phones. Now in my 50's those days are long past. I was dressed in a jeans and blazer doing my best to look sharp/cool. Hair on point. I married in 2002 to someone who thought just that. Whew! It worked. 😊
Parabéns e felicidades sempre
Extra credit if you still have the jeans and blazer tucked away somewhere.
I was in HS. Memory city! Where did time go!
One thing about growing up GEN X , we were taught through music to manifest what we desired. Be it love, money, family or friendship, if we could dream it we could have it. But The Crazy part about that is , we manifested our future back then and why GenX is more at peace with ourselves now than generations before us and after. Long live the feral, the strong, the invisible, the seen and not heard. Love live GENERATION X.
stop smoking weed, every generation had the opportunity. that is literally the secret of life
Yes! Gen Xer who was born in Plainfield, New Jersey in 1979!
I can't hear this song without feeling complete and total nostalgia for my 80s childhood. I just wouldn't trade it for anything.
Can totally relate.
Me, either...I was 8 y.o. in 1980, and graduated in 1989...got to live the best of the whole decade, I especially remember the launch of MTV, and how much my sister and I loved to watch that channel over the summer of '84....
Facts.
I turned 8 in 8/15 of 84. Between 1st an 2nd grades. .
I really miss this days. Mostly I miss the family that have passed sine then... I miss how life was back then.
Thank GOD almighty I still have my Mom.
@@danlc95 Hear you loud and clear....I was 12 y.o. in 1984, and somehow, we didn't need all of today's technology to have a blast...because it was all human interaction and the love of our friendships, instead of all this social media....
The 80's were the absolute greatest Era to live in.
Yes it was
Such a timeless song! RIP, Dan. 🙏
This song will last forever
Being an 80's kid was so awesome, I miss those days❤ classic 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 .
happy day's and no worry's. I miss them so much.
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 😊
62 y sigo escuchando esta maravillosa musica de mi juventud qe vivan los 80's
Someone once told me don't worry cause the universe will bring me what I'm supposed to have just focus on yourself to better yourself
13 yrs old listening to this my walkman, riding my bike to Baskin Robbins for ice cream... WOW have times changed
I am confused.. a white dude sings this? LMA?
Lmao my mom thought this was hall and oates when she was a kid 😂
Good Life dude 🙏
Hall & Oates did do a version of this song.
Omg yaaaaasssssssssss girl!❤
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
Still listening in April 2024.
Another banger from the 80s! The 80s.....so good!!! So glad i grew up in that generation!!!
Rest In Paradise, Dan. We miss you, bro! 💖💖💖
@WinGate Mose wow
Thank you for dropping those facts
And yes it does sound like a Hall & Oates classic
This is in my top 5 favorite 80s hits
@WinGate Mose This song was played at many junior high school dances plus during my sophomore year of high school at a talent show three classmates and I performed this song
When Dan Hartman performed this song on Soul Train back in the day that was like watching a ken Griffey Jr home run buried in the stadiums upper deck
Daniel Earl Hartman December 8th, 1950-March 22nd,1994. Cause Of Death: AIDS-Related Brain Tumor.
Dam he died
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
Dan Hartmen vocals just mesmerise me , his voice is so dreamy its just breathtaking, he just had that X factor . Wow what a talent he was🎉🎉🎉.
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.
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.
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
I'm listening
I'm listening this song, doesn't matter when you read it.
60 crossed still can revolt against galaxy for this poem
Hey Thomas Molina, I am.Love this song.Brings back gud memories.Great music 💃
I was born in 95' and I still found my way to the treasure trove of 60's, 70's, and 80's music. I have no doubt that alot of younger folks will find this music appealing.
I remember this being on MTV back when it was actually music television and not the garbage you see on that channel these days
Hi from Ireland
RIP Dan, thanks for such a wonderful and talented 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.
😭
R.I.P. Dan Hartman. Your song made, and still make, so many people happy. Tks for all joy and great moments your music gave to us.

You should see him playing base in Edgar's Winter Frankenstein.....
Beautiful classic loving ❤️ the 80s miss these lyrical wonders that tell a true feeling of Love ❤️ ❤🎉❤
Greetings from Beautiful Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺
I guess we all wish we could go back to our time as teenagers in the 80’s. My daughter loves all the music we were lucky enough to have in the 80’s all genres. Every month a new top 10
My daughter is the same. She listens to a lot of the music I listened to when I was her age and younger. She loves queen and asked to go to their concerts. I had to explain Freddie isn't here anymore.
when pop music had class
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 🙌🏼♥️
It’s sad how he passed
@@naughtyvalues Yes it was!😥
Rest in peace, wow, it's so final.
these as we all know were some of the best songs made in the mighty 80s!
He was 34 here.
I saw Dan Hartman playing bass for Edgar Winter in 1972 and 1973. He also did a killer Hendrix style guitar solo with a Stratocaster. The voice and writer behind "Free Ride".
I'm wondering if this Dan Hartman was the producer for 38 special. Long love the 80s
Class of 1984 here, getting old but still rocking it ❤❤❤
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
This song is STILL TODAY in my playlist!!!!!!!! RIP DAN HARTMAN!!
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.
Love Dan Hartman, his talent and what he gave to the world.
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
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 🍷
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
The 80s was such a great time😊
My first heartbreak at 19 happened when this song came out. I still think of Linda some 35 plus years later when I hear this song.
LOVE - THIS - SONG.
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 feel so sorry for everyone born after the 80's. They'll never understand what a great time they missed. Poor bastards!!
100%
U R So Right! The 80's what a time for Livin with the economy, president, tv series: macgyver, streethawk, airwolf, A-Team, and above all the Greatest Decade 4 Music
Nowhere near as good as the 60s and 70s. Music was fantastic and still played today.
some of them have caught on but living through it was so much better, those were such good times back then
Yep we missed out on such a great generation
Who's listening in April 2024??
The solo bridge is so good 🌚
May 2024👍
Do I miss real music like this. Waiting for the revolution.
Listening g may of 2024!!❤
Blue eyed Soul. what a voice. RIP DAN. Gone way too soon.
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.
I believe if we only had the 80’s style music being written today, our country would be in a better place.
To me, the 80’s had the best of everything.
The 80’s is the only decade where everyone tailored their music to the same demo. You had Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston who ruled the decade. Then you had older bands like Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Aerosmith who went to a more pop sound to change with the time. Even Whitesnake and Motley Crew had their power ballads.
The 90’s is when MTV audience imploded because there were too many different types of music. Grunge were playing to one demo, HipHop/Rap were playing to another and Pop like Britney and NSync playing to another. What does MTV play? That’s why 80’s MTV worked.
@@chrisolivo6591 MTV imploded in the 90s because the focus shifted to so-called "reality TV" and talk shows, and away from 24/7 music programming. Also, MTV had a literally racist programming format at its inception. People forget that they would not play videos by black artists until Michael Jackson came along.
The world you mean
Amen....I was in 9th grade in 1981...that summer was my best year as a teenager.....I dated a woman Theresa Troiano in Syracuse NY. She was 17, and I was 13....I could dream about her.....miss those days. 3 plus years ago I met up with her and she had the Audacity to say she didn't know who i was???? my Best Friend from that time who is still my Best Friend told me not to worry...maybe she was embarrassed to let anyone know we dated at those ages? She's married now so why would she lie and say she didn't remember me? I dated her the entire summer of 1981....sadly her parents and sister Rita are all passed....? Oh well....weird?! Thank God my Friend Tony recalls....we had met her and her sister at Schiller Park pool....Tony wanted to date Rita and I wanted to date Theresa....she even Taught me how to FRENCH Kiss?????!!!!
@@AM-br4ix
How lucky you must have felt at that time to be dating an older woman. I know I sure would have 😊😊. Anyways, her loss to deny you has a person she knew because those memories are what makes life special.
We need the 80’s back!!!
I am listening in May 2024, wish I was alive in the 60s, 70s and 80s.. participated in woodstock and the fun..
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 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.
So do I
It was the best
Vdd..
Who's listening in May 2024? ❤
"ME, ME, ME.... ME"!! 👍✌️🙏👌😃😇😀
Right chea!! Been my shit since the 1st time I saw Streets of Fire when I was a kid kid 😂

Indeed 🌎
80s were pretty bad for some of us. But the music made up for a lot.
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.
Beautiful song 🎵, RIP,Dan,well done 🎉🎉
this just a sample of cultural universe of the 80's. So rich, so strong influences. I loved it.
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...

When Music was music..👌
Yes exactly today's music is such crap
you've right, those days dont come back
Joshua Jeffries yeah because you haven’t explored what good music is today, you’re just showing the world currently that you’ve only scratched the shitty surface of today’s music, not to mention during the 80s people hated modern music too
Mwila Ijeoma I know 😊
@@kensword73
Not to mention that back in those days, people often claimed one genre or another as theirs, and were put off from a lot of good music by fans that only seemed to like either pop, or reaggae, or hard rock, or synth, and so on, and hate any of the other.
The same kind of ignorance happen today:
I've seen people claim that Aria Grande makes bad music and can't sing, but yes she can!
Same with Sia, several of her songs is especially good if you feel down, heck, did you know she's the singer on "Titanium" by David Guetta?
Then there is the songs made by Jeff Williams for the animated series RWBY and sung by his daughter Casey Lee, and it do sound good, just check it out, as well as the songs made by Daniel Ingram for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
YES i just suggested music from My Little Pony ... but several of them are indeed good, just dare to check them out.
.... Oh, and Kensword, i wrote this reply to anyone that might read it, not only to you.
