This was my wife and I song. We were together for 39 years. She passed away May 2020. This song comes on while I'm shopping in the market. Clean up on aisle 5. I can't stop listening even though my heart aches. I can't stop missing her. Music brings such memories, good and sad. Love to all who lost their true love.
Sorry for your lose. She must been one helluva gal. That fact this song brings both good and sad memories said it all.
We miss their love ❤️…..blessed to have had it ❤️blessings brother
Such a touching story! I just heard in Walmart and it brought me back. God bless you
Our song in '84, we had a short distance romance and could only be together on the weekends, hence this song Married in '84, lost him in '16,way too soon. This song devastates me every time. Music and feelings, always real, forever.
40 years Good grief. Me domestic abuse survived. Keep up Music Talk with safe crew. We are eternal brother!
A rare moment when *this Song outperforms* the whole movie!
RIP Dan Hartman
Obviously he did the song also but this is actually a separate reporting that was done for the movie back then there was a lot of songs and movies that were not recorded by the artist but by others to minimize royalty payments very close on it but while I don't think Stoney Jackson on stage actually sang it for the movie probably session singers but yeah contrary to popular belief that's not Dan Hartman on the track
@@eddieschwab864 Winston Ford was the singer on the film.
@@kenseville9469 back in the eighties and nineties frequently they would have different artists from whoever actually charted the song on radio singing it for that very reason I stated above. A good example is It Ain't Over Til It's Over which of course was made famous by Lenny Kravitz but if you watch the cutting-edge the scene at the reception it's someone else singing it
@@eddieschwab864 I wasn't contesting what you said. You said that it was probably session singers and I gave the name of the specific session singer.
RIP Winston Ford. Winston Ford is the man singing here not Hartman.
Although SOF wasn't a huge box office hit, I still count this as one of the 80s' iconic soundtrack tunes
Personally I thought it was a great movie from back in the day
Agreed
yes
So memorable!
Kind of the first movie to try to adapt to MTV
One of the most underrated movie soudtracks ever! Watching this move and listening to the soundtrack takes me back to a special place. Loved everything about this movie.
Absolutely my favorite! Remember when I found the sound track years ago only to catch my hs daughter weeks later stealing it to listen to it.
I have no idea how this movie wasn't a hit. Diane Lane who wouldn't risk their life to save her. Micheal Pare such a cool guy hero. Willem Dafoe as the crazy villain. Great soundtrack, great lead song, and great scene utilizing the lead song.
I put it with “the touch” from the transformers movie
Fabulous timeless soundtrack... a rock and roll fable with a perfect cast, incredible creative film.
@@rollotomassi4768critics did not liked Michael Pare.Never figured why,he was excellent in this movie.Latter- not much
RIP Dan Hartman. Thank You for all your wonderful music.
Dan the man. So young. A great song by the dreamer ! RIP my brother..
When you think about the fact that the four guys playing the parts of the band members are actors, not dancers, it makes their dancing even more impressive.
It's funny when you look back at it and their careers, this shows their alter ego so to speak. I lost it when I saw this several years later.
Jason, one of the actors is Robert Townsend. He has played many other parts, in late 80's and 90's films. He played Mawby in the Jamaican based movie, the Mighty Quinn with a very young Denzel Washington, he, also played in the acclaimed movie, taken from the stage play 'A soldiers Story', the Hollywood Shuffle with the Wayans brothers, and also in the fictional Motown style movie 'The five Heartbeats.
Stoney Jackson did this Moonwalk around the same time Michael Jackson starting doing it, and IMHO he did it as good or better than MJ at the time.
Michael Williams( Bubba Gump from Forrest Gump)
@@tyronesmith6112 Mykelti Williams played Bubba Blue. I always say Bubba Gump, too, because that was the name Forrest gave the shrimp business. I think we all do it...lol.
This song never gets old!!!! LOVE IT❤
1982 I am Tom Cody!!!£€
We need to bring back this style of music. The 80's music were the BEST.
Simply the BEST!!!!
The Weeknd is doing his best 😂
AMEN 2 that !
Amen
Dua Lipa's album "Future Nostalgia" is called that for a reason. Its chocked full of 80s influences. The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and a bunch of others.
Who's listening in March o 2024 ?
Then, now, forever...
❤
yes !!@@ramonhenderson7484
Beautiful song. With well dressed brothers . Totally class and style love it.
I want to know where they got their shoes!
In the movie the lead singer of this song was the late Winston Forde who was African American. The director Walter Hill didn't think that Dan Hartman voice didn't sound "Black" so he hired Mr Forde. Watch the movie again and you will hear the difference between them. Dan Hartman tried to pitch this song to Hall and Oates, but they already had completed the Big Bam Boom album and didn't need it. I like the movie version and this one as well. RIP Dan and Winston.
Just saw a video of Hall and Oates performing it live, different lyrics, movie version is better but their performance is still a great song.
Winston Ford was my uncle. Thank you for sharing this.
@@jofoke I'm sorry for your loss. Your uncle was very talented and it's too bad that his version of the song can only be heard in the movie. God bless.
When this first came on the radio I was 13 and thought it was Hall & Oates, definitely sounds their style, TY for the info about it
@@jofoke I see that you are also a great vocalist in your own right. You sound great!
I miss the 80s. The music aside from being nostalgic makes me feel so hopeful and optimistic.
This is one of my favorite songs. Every time I hear it I go back to August 1984, and my sister had her boombox playing this song at a neighborhood picnic. Such good memories
Recorded this off the radio in Augusta, GA 1984 with my boom box while at FT Gordon. Had just joined the US Army. By Sept 1984 was in West Germany jamming to it.
Funny. I was at Ft Gordon for April and May of 84 and the song was big that year. Nine years later I was in LA working on a movie... and Stoney Jackson was one of the actors.
Sv Shrader HOOAH! -75th Rangers/173rd
Great Lakes Naval Base same time. Did some NJP cleaning the shores of Lake Michigan with a little boom box at my side...cold as heck but made some snow angels that cold early winter!
14 years later, I was in Germany (1/37AR) watching this on VHS in my barracks room. Damn, this movie travels.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇲
This fictitious group was so convincing DAN HARTMAN HAD to make a video because people were thinking this group actually sung this song. Either way it's TIMELESS CLASSIC! R.I.P. Mr. Hartman!
The glory days of MTV. I loved, still love this song and this video. I heard this in Trader Joe's over the PA the other day and came home singing it in my head,
@@MrJones-em7ub Rediscovering my favorite song from a cult classic movie cause I can dream about a certain waitress that worked at Hooters cause she has me spellbound what else could it
Just heard it inWalmart!
ok amigo anni 80 90sono stati i migliori anni ok
Robert Townsend and the rest of these dudes were everything in the 80s. Love this and them!
Dan Hartman was great. So were Streets of Fire and this performance of 'I can Dream About You'.
Love it and instant replay from 1978.
ciao amico gringo mucio buona musica ok
I love this song. Dan Hartman is the writer however, this particular vocal is sung by Winston Ford - I personally prefer this version but both are great!
No it is not sung by Winston Ford. This is Dan Hartman. There is a version sung by Winston on youtube though. It does include scenes from the movie (which is a pitty i think). Do find it, listen to it and experience that at first it seem to disappoint but the further you go and the more you listen to it…it is even better than the official clip.
@@svrsvr6183 awesome! If you could find the clip with the Winston Ford vocal and post the link? It would be great to hear that

ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC! This MICHAEL PARE Movie is such a HIT back in the Days. Awesome movie!
That was a tight song in the 80'$
Jeff Holley and Cathy hell yeah!!
I'm 62yrs old and this is my number one favorite movie of all time. I never get tired of watching it this is one of the best parts of the movie. I love it.
It was a happier time with happier music. I remember those days fondly.
Shout out to Dan Hartman, a truely genius songwriter 🎹🎼⭐️! Who past away too early and under sad circumstances
What were the sad circumstances?
I LOVE this song.. and the movie, Streets of Fire..
Love the movie, Eddie and The Cruisers, as well..!
OMG I miss the 80s.
That backslide/moonwalk was cold AF🔥
Nostalgia pura!
Ninguém bate as canções anos 80/90.
One of the "bandmembers" is former American actor Grand L. Bush, who appeared in lots of 1980's and 1990's movies, including Demolition Man, Freejack, the first two Lethal Weapon movies, the first Die Hard movie, and the 007 movie License To Kill. The other is Robert Townsend, also a big name in the 80's and 90's, whom Bush would work with again there years after Streets of Fire in a film called Hollywood Shuffle.
One of the back up dancers (far left) was in Die Hard as an FBI agent - If I'm not mistaken. The other two have been in other stuff I've seen too.
Now these gents know how to perform! So awesome!
My feet have to move as I walk & talk In the rain. Music speaks when words can't..
Miles apart but close at heart..Love life, it goes by so fast. Always young at heart.
Hope is a good thing!
Me too 😂
I love everything about this video, but my favorite part is where they're all in line and Stoney Jackson looks over at Mykelti Williams with that smile that says, "Can you believe this?"
“THE SORELS”with Stoney Jackson Robert Townsend, Grand Bush and Mykelti Williamson. I actually thought they sang this song. Until I saw the TV variety dance show Solid Gold and they had Dan Hartman the real singer of this masterpiece.
My all-time favorite movie
i am from venezuela and love this song
Coolest part
My fav movie
I was in love with Stoney Jackson. It was a lifetime ago and this song and their “performance “ never gets old. RIP Dan Hartman 💔
That moonwalk is 🔥
It was called the backslide way before Michael...
@@rafaelsida5155 This wasn't "before Michael"...
@@seanjoyce7039 are you familiar with the backslide? Michael wasn't the first person to do it, do some research bud, check out Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar, I'll wait...
I miss the 80's.
So do I - hella lot!
Facts....... Speak On It!!! ❤️💯👊🏽👍🏽
Me too!
@@alexandrealbertoni1840 😍
Every one says they miss the 80's. I do too.
Underrated movie but still a classic.
This is one of those great songs that has me stopping whatever I'm doing to sing along. I have to listen even if
I'm catching only the last thirty seconds. I was surprised when I first learned this was a Dan Hartman tune after
seeing and hearing him with Edgar Winter. I love when the Sorels break into the moonwalk. That scene became
a great music video.
People coming from the AHS trailer should check out the movie it's from, Streets of Fire. A cult classic set in an anachronistic combo of the 50's and the 80's.
My father played with the big bands. He was born 1908 and I was a very late in life baby.That was an accidental reply but thanks for the likes.
Fascinating movie. Not so much for its story. But how much else it inspired. The Neo-Noir art direction led directly to things such as Tim Burton’s Batman and a ton of SciFi movies and shows.

Nnnnnnnñnnnnn nnnnnnnnnmmmm. Nnnmm bem
M...n
Love that his background guys are Robert Townsend, the qb from wildcats, and one of the "we're gonna need some more fbi guys" from Die Hard.
I saw Streets Of Fire in the summer of 1984. I have liked this song since the moment I heard it.
El mejor grupo ficticio de toda la historia cinematográfica.
I love this video. These guys are jammin and having a good time
I always liked this piece, good times....
Check out Robert Townsend as one of the dancers. He's on the right.
Mitch Rimland
Yeah and he can't dance for shit
That's Bubba from Forrest Gump in the middle ..
@@maxvilla5558 Ya, that's why it's has remained so popular ..
he went off in THE FIVE HEARTBEATS love him in that role
@@danhughes6909 love these guys
Best movie soundtrack ever!
Go Stoney! Takes me back to my freshman year 1984! I still have my 45!
Honestly, I like this version better than Dan Hartman's version, crazy to say, but this guys got a voice from heaven!
It's very difficult to keep still listening to this song. I just want to get up and dance...
My body is moving
I just want to smile. So many good memories to this song
I am fairly certain that this is Winston Ford on lead vocal...not Hartman. Great song...Soul, Rock'n Roll, Motown, R&B and even Country Music has all morphed into some soulless slop without good lyrics or ever a powerful beat...The music fell apart about 20 years ago, and now the whole damn country is coming unraveled.
That moonwalk.Awesome
This is just as new and fresh as the week it first dropped in 1984 😎
That backglide, though!! Go Stoney!! 💘
I love Dan Hartman,but I really love the performance from these guys❤️❤️❤️
Yeah these actors are so great I marvel that they’re not the actual singers!
@Denise Bacher very true although I guess the actor certainly got the lip movement synchronized pretty well. Maybe this was the inspiration for Milli Vanilli LOL but yeah this was actually session singers that did the song for the movie same backing track but not Dan Hartman voice that you typically would be hearing playing the song on the radio certainly back in the eighties they did that a lot and to a lesser extent in the 90s to minimize how much they had to pay in royalties because every time the film aired from start to finish songs and all certainly they had to pay all of the artists and easier to pay them a snippet of it to versus the whole kit and caboodle.
Funny thing is since of course Dan Hartman passed away a lot more stations are actually playing the track from the film when it comes up in rotation or request
Absolutely love this soundtrack. I was born in 86 and remember watching this movie as a kid with my dad...still one of my all time favs!
This song was played at many junior high school dances or high school proms
I saw this in the theatres in when it came out. Awesome movie.🤣🤣
One of the best 80s songs and tonight is what it means to be young. Should be in all 80s playlists.
American Horror Story 1984 trailer brought me here. Fantastic Song!
Fun fact: I was first introduced to this song because of a skit meant to make fun of a tv show on Saturday Night Live. After looking it up and actually listening to the whole thing, needless to say, I quickly became obsessed with it because it's just that freaking amazing.
This would have been a perfect performance on Lip Synch Battle. In The UK so many Boy Bands have admitted that US Boy Bands like Boyz To Men were a major influence on them growing up. Dan Hartman who wrote the Song also wrote James Brown's Comeback Hit "Living In America" and it was parodied as Living With A Hernia. Loleotta Holloway who sang backup on Relight My Fire also sang backup on Good Vibrations with Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch and it was a Hit all over again with Take That (whose Manager Nigel Martin Smith wanted them to be the UK equivalent of New Kids On The Block) with Lulu who sang along with them. The Music was also used in an Commercial for Senchal Perfume in the 1970's as well.
Good job with the REAL INFO
I'm nearly certain that this is Winston Ford on lead vocal. One of my all-time favorite songs...Can' t movin' to the grooves ....
As far as I can tell this IS the Winston Ford version.
@@andrewholland6782 We agree....But Dan Hartman is on everything else is Hartman.
"The real voice behind the version used in the film was Winston Ford, but Hartman's version was the one used on the soundtrack and released as a single. The song also appeared on Hartman's album I Can Dream About You. Kenny Vance was the musical director on Streets of Fire."
The backslide!
One of the better jobs lip syncing. So many times I’ve gone back to watch old videos and just amazed how off the lip syncing was.
Song still holds up.
One of my favourite movies ever !
Was a background actor on that show, about a week on that take. Awesome song, awesome director.
I remember this song when it came out. It's easy to the ears & soul, during a time wheb dreams where more real 🎶 ✨️ and more ❤......it was less complicated, going back to the true roots of ❤
The guys knocked this out of the park! What happened to "music with a great beat and lyrics"? People under 40 don't have a clue about how good music can be...Nothing but garbage today. Even Country Music is crap these days.
Watching and listening to this song and video, it makes me realize how lucky those of us who grew up in the 1980’s really were. MTV on one hand ruined more than a few recording careers but on the other hand, when you watch this video, it really hits hard that this time will NEVER be equaled. Ever.
This to me, is one of the quintessential performance videos of the 80’s.
This video takes me back to the simpler times. Oh how I miss those.
I remember this movie back in the 80's when you can still smoke inside the Movie theatre... and Man... the Theatre is filled with smoke that smells like weed
In nc, we smoked until the late 90s. There was a theater that had lounge couches and tall ashtrays. I use to smoke back then
I love this 80s movie...I saw it on cable tv then. I wish I have seen in theaters then instead💭🎟😘🎙
No cambiaría mi adolescencia por nada del mundo viví los 80' lo mejor de mi vida ❤️🇪🇸
This was my top most underrated movie of the 80's. I love watching this movie, great soundtrack. Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, William Defoe, Robert Townsand. A cult classic and a movie I think they can do a remake on if they do it right.
Two other top rated(but not by critics) was "the 9th gate"(featuring johnny depp) and "the last of the dogmen". During this time the critics would shit on anything not as good as the titanic and then people avoided the movie as a result or copied what the critics would say, the movies have vary good reviews. The 9th gate has a slow burn but it progresses quickly so it doesnt feel like the story is dragging out like similar movies, This movie doesnt explicitly answer all questions but if you pay attention you can guess with high accuracy. though the answers are all fairly obvious IMHO, the writer later came out and clarified for those that wanted to be sure...
No more remakes. Please!😭
Dan Hartman RIP.
I didn't know he died
Good movie 🎥 this is still my jam
I would swear Stoney was really singing he is flawless
He had that song down to the core. He nailed that sync. You would've thought these guys actually sung the song. It was a beautiful concept and they nailed it!
He is singing it in the movie
Que buena canción, buenos recuerdos de los 80’s. Y pensar que todos son actores, no pareciera que no son el artista que canta esta canción. Qué tiempos, buen video muy buena coreografía👌
The dude in the middle of the trio of background singers is none other than......wait for it..............the guy that went on to play Bubba Gump in a mega hit and one of the greatest movies by one of the more memorable characters.
Eric Davidson After this Robert Townsend went on to create: The Five Heartbeats, Mykel T, went to Forest Gump,
And Stoney Jackson went on to 227.
+Nazarene Wyckoff Grand L Bush went on to Colors and Street fighter.
Hey that right, thank I remember him now. from Die Hard.
Yep and Robert Townsend as well
Es un muy buen recuerdo vi esta pelicula en el cine hace mil años
Robert Townsend went on to make a banger of a movie called "the five heartbeats.A true classic.
A great song and the movie is very watchable. Is it me but back in the 80s music was more up beat and joyful. Nowadays it seems people just want to make music that is just bloody miserable.
Len Raby I agree! I’m almost 23 and I am obsessed with 80s music, 80’s pop is my all time favorite genre!
spot on, Len!
I loved it along with cherry 2000
I miss the 80,s
I listen to Sirius satellite radio and listen to the 80's station 80,a on 8 I like the top 40 countdown on the 80s listening too Casey kassem brings back memories of the 80s
I would have paid to have seen this group in concert,
❤ Dan Hartman ❤ Hall & Oats ❤ great song 🎶 need to watch this movie 🎥 too...
The music in the 80tys was kick ass . So many great bands .
brilliant song and a brilliant film streets or fire all of it typical 80s
Ellstin Limehouse is a really smooth dancer!!!
Classic movie!!!
This song is awesome.
Thanks for uploading whoever it was.....heard so much about this classic....gotta get hold of the movie....super classic song from the lovely 80s and Diane Lane :-P
Just introduced my new girlfriend to this film and she loves it 👍❤️👍
My All time favorite. I love this movie. My husband found me the DVD at A flea market. It's one of my best treasures.💖
Love love this video 😍😍😍 Love their dance moves 😍😍😍😍 Wish I was part of the crowd to enjoy the awesome experience
I remember watching this when I was little. I'm 30+ and the soundtrack is still as amazing as I remember. Most people dont even know about this movie but it will always be amazing to me.
One of the best soundtracks of ALL time.
Excellent movie with great cast. Bill Paxton is excellent in Everything!! LOLs
Great song, hope your time with her was also great. SORRY for your loss.
Stony and his boys made this song iconic….
Thanks for posting this, "The Sorels" killed it.
“Get off my lawn warning” .....l want to smile and dance when I see these guys. No twerking, no crotch grabbing. Just energetic, happy dance moves. Sooo refreshing.
Grande música de los 80, de Sel chile
Great film, great song.
