    Died at age 43. That's way too young, regardless of the cause. "Dream about you." , is timeless and remains one of the best songs ever produced. R.I.P Dan.

      There was an incredible version that was done by the USMC chorus/choir as the background for a mid-1980s national beauty pageant. I wish that someone had recorded a clean version of it outside the pageant itself.

    I never knew he was gay. But no matter. I can dream about you. Which he wrote and offered to Hall and Oates. Was amazing. As much as I love Hall and Oates. He did it justice. I think. Even better than they would have. Rip Dan. ❤

    Incredibly talented man. "I Can Dream About You" is one of my favorite songs from the '80s. I grew up during the 80s and I vividly remember this song being on the radio all the time, and "Streets of Fire" was on HBO frequently. It's sad that he passed away so young.

    A Central Pa. icon. I was at the last Concert for the Legends. Just when they were going to break out , he joined Edger & Johnny Winter's groups. Followed his career he was good friends Of Hall & Oates. Too short of a Lifespan.

    The legendary Edgar Winter song "Free Ride" which Hartman did the vocals is still one of my all time favorite songs 50+ years later. 'Instant Replay" was a good dance number. And then he finally notched his big hit in 1984 "I Can Dream About You". Lost too soon.

    I saw the Edgar Winter Group play in a high school gym. He played bass but also did a guitar solo partly played with his teeth as a pick. The most high energy rock concert I have ever seen. When he went into disco I was confused but happy he was making money.
