Dan was incredibly talented, but none of the comments mentioning the band? That's Vinnie Vincent on guitar and G.E. Smith on bass, hamming it up big time!
Great Song/Great Musician. I thought that was GE Smith on Bass (the former leader of The Saturday Night Live Band & Ex of The Late Great Gilda Radner with The Suit on).
He is a perfect example of the terrible loss of many of the most creative, intelligent, kind, wonderful people to AIDS. An entire generation lost in just a few years, leaving our world a sadder, less joyful place. His music still brings me joy over 40 years later. How many of us will still be remembered for decades?
Yes, you are so right, so many gone because of AIDS, it is unbelievable. Sylvester, Freddie Mercury and many more, not to mention all the djs of the NY clubs.
Dan was a liar and a criminal. I like his music but I will never forgive the damaged he caused to all of those people. There is no excuse for what he did!!!
@@DawnKemp-jd9xx I can't go into the details of the mental anguish but im suprised no one knows about what HE did. The crazy stories about this dude are too crazy to mention, even on TH-cam. Just google it. Google Dan Hartman and fire and you'll see what I mean. What a monster..
I met Dan in Hawaii in the 1980s. He was incredibly warm and friendly. I adore his music and play it all the time. I will always cherish the time we spent together.
God bless you Dan and tks for this great piece of music. Loved it then love it still. Many feelings andbmemories associated with music as this one does for me.
My God Dan is no joke, OMG, 😳 talk about a performance, he literally reaches my soul when he sings with sooo much feelings and how he throws his hand up is genius, what an artist, one of the 10 best of all time, he can't be denied, I'm black and I can admit that, very few has that natural high energy when performing.
Doesn't this video really give you a boost ... really great stuff. I just remember the words "Instant Reply" otherwise I couldn't have recalled this song for you from memories of that time.. but sitting and listening to it brings back the excitement of being a pre teen on the verge
A favorite song from my youth. I'd get so amped when I heard that countdown starting! Such a talented man. Wish he was still with us. Would've loved to see him perform live.
I liked seeing GE Smith because that was a surprise when I saw this video. What a transition from Dan Hartman to Hall N Oats, the guy is a talented gem. ❤
What I love about this song - among MANY things - is the fact that each musician has his own style of dress, hair, playing, but it makes no difference to any of them. They're having the greatest time playing together and loving every minute of this great song.
I've loved this song since it came out in 1978. Great bass line, high energy vocal and arrangement and just so much fun. I never get tired of it. RIP Dan Hartman. Give a listen to Countdown/This Is It from the same album. Same type of groove. Call it a guilty pleasure. Pure fun!
Loved this song as a kid in '78 when it first came out and still love it in 2018 - 40 years later - this is what you call a FULL-ON ENERGY DISCO SONG! (Love that G.E. Smith and Vinnie Vincent appear in this video, too!) RIP Dan Hartman
G.E. Smith, Vinnie Vincent and Hilly Michaels all played on the _Instant Replay_ album, yet while they appear here in the music video for the title track, none of them actually played on it. Dan played all the instruments except for the congas and saxophone, which were played by Larry Washington and Edgar Winter respectively.
The energy that comes through in this old video is just irresistable! I can't help smiling and start dancing. Dan and the guys show such joy and happiness from singing and playing! Oh boy, Dan you're so missed.
Erica Maria I can tell by your comment that you are just a wonderful human being. I'm sure you contribute a great deal to the world. I'm also sure that your IQ and age are about the same...15? 16?
Holy crap! I can't believe Vinnie Vincent and G.E. Smith actually played together in the same band. My mind is blown, and I doubt I'll ever be the same.
And also worth mentioning, if anyone didn't already know, Dan was Edgar Winter's bass player for a couple albums back in the 70's. He helped co-write Frankenstein, among many others. Too cool
Yow I can't stop looking at this video, this Dan Hartman is on another level man, and the band is off the chain, never realized how great a performer he is, now that's how you do a song, God truly blesses people in every race with talent, Dan most definitely a rare talent.
OMFG!!! I HEARD THIS SONG ON THE CLAW MACHINE IN THE AMUSEMENTS! WOAHHH!!! Ok this is a really good song! I wasn’t born in the olden days when this song came out!! I’m just a kid born in the 2000’s even I like this song!
he wrote James' album with Charlie Midnight with who he also wrote Dan's I Can Dream About You album with, besides the title song, which Dan wrote himself and Electricity which Dan wrote with Nona Hendryx
Fab video with Dan. Always thumping disco music. Great disco mix. Happy music with nice femme chorus. RIP, Dan Hartman. Always missed. Vive les disco freaks...
I was 11 when this came out. Found out through a friend who came back home to Denmark from the UK. Jumped on my bike and went bought it. This track….to this day just means the world to me. I just wanna dance and at the same time i choke and get tears in my eyes. I love Dan Hartmans writing and voice
Remembering first hearing this song on American Bandstand and running out to Kmart to buy the 45 record (still have it). Loved the energy of this song~! Was a fan of Edgar Winter Group and later connected his voice to their song "Free Ride". Years later hearing "I Can Dream About You". Great vocalist~! RIP Dan.
Oh man, this song took me back to the great late 70s, just graduated from HS in 1977, became a DJ for a year before going to med school in Brazil. Dan Hartman was a super musician. No doubt the late mid to late 70s and the 80s, were, in my opinion, the golden era for music regardless of genre, from disco, rock, R&B, rap to jazz and latin music. There were so many great bands with awesome songs, unique sounds and styles of playing instruments that it was hard for a single to stay in the top as everybody sound so good, even album covers were so cool and fun, this is no longer present in today’s music. These guys were truly musicians, composers, arrangers, and much more. I wish I could have a Time Machine…🙂😜
He may be best remembered as bass player in The Edgar Winter Group, for whom he wrote the song Free Ride. Unfortunately he died in 1994, from an AIDS related brain tumor.
He has an amazing smile and just reading the comments realise that he was gay!!! Why oh why are all the cute guys gay....gutted! Still this song never ever fails to put a smile on my face and takes me back to being 18 single and not a care in the world. 1978 was a great year musically too xxx
You set my lips on fire You won the key to my heart You've got a special way to move me Can't stop now - let's do it again! You keep me dancin' through the moonlight I feel the pleasure in your touch And everything you are is heaven Oh, I can't get enough, no I can't get enough! I've got to have it! (Instant replay) Ooh woh oh-oh (Instant replay) I've got to have your love again (Ah, ah, ah, ah) I feel so good about us I found a shining star And when I look into your eyes It's magic! Well, I just know this can't be a dream I'm so happy it must be real In every way it's getting stronger Now you know it, let me show it Oh, I've got to have it now (Instant replay) Oh-oh-oh-oh yeah (Instant replay) Got me floating on a cloud (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Got me dancing all around, all around, all around (Wooh) Ooohhh Ahh yeah! That's right! (Aaahhh) Yeah! Oh (Instant replay) Instant replay yeah! (Instant replay) Instant replay yeah! (Instant replay) Woo ooh ooh ah I can't stand it! I can't stand it! I got to have it 'cause I need it! Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know, I need your love? Wooh-ooh baby! Wooh-ooh baby! Ahhh say it one more time You know I need love (Instant replay) You know I need love (Need an instant replay) You know I need love (Need an instant replay) Ah, ah, ah, ah (Need an instant replay)
Feeling nostalgic tonight! I was in the 6th grade when I danced with the drill team at Indianapolis Public School 45 under the leadership of Ms. Mary Boldin!! This was in 1981 ❤❤❤
My very beloved White Soul Sagittarian Brotha!!! 💘 🎶 😍 🌈 Damn, this song reminds me of the Path train system in NYC!!! Folks used to blast their radios in the subway system all the time!!! Continue RIHP to the late great Dan Hartman!!! 💘 🎶 😍 🌈 ♐ 🏹 💃
Danny was my cousin never got to meet him was before my time but his older brother David was my best friend unfortunately David has past in December of 22 now the brothers are reunited RIP Dan and David 💜💜🔥🎸🤘✌️
Sorry to hear that David has passed. I'm sure he was a lovely man as was his brother, I remember reading that their mother asked David to buy Dan a toy monkey for Christmas. They seemed a very close family, How are you related? Thank you in anticipation.
I'll never forget back in the 70s in Monterey California when this very attractive young woman asked me to dance with her on this song... I was flattered...... Everytime I hear this song I think of her
Tengo 59 años de edad, cuando salió todo este tipo de música estába en mis 15 primaveras. Lo que quiero decir es que goce, disfrute, viví los años 70s y 80s con todos su géneros. Les digo una cosa, para mí fue extraordinario si volviera a nacer pediría exactamente lo mismo, no cambiaría un segundo. Salu2
Dan Hartman was so talented and such a versatile musician and cute! Free Ride, with the Edgar Winter Group, This Is It, Instant Replay. Vertigo/Relight My Fire with Loleatta Holloway, Love Sensation by Loleatta Holloway, I Can Dream About You, and Livin' in America for James Brown. He is truly missed.
After reading these Comments left by others. Which are all so Incredibly True!!! It just goes to show & prove how much Music means to Everyone!!! Good Music Cures All!!! RIP Dan!!! I hope I get to Thank You in person some day???
I would have loved to see what Dan and MJ could have come up with musically. Dan was locked in musically. Went from rock and roll to disco and conquered both. So impressive. It's great to see the comments on here and know he isn't forgotten. Someone should do a book on him. What a story!
How could this be the same guy who sang I Can Dream About You and Free Ride. Fantastic Singer 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏. Too bad there's not great singers like this anymore. Thanks to video we have something to listen to.
Man this was THE Bomb at the skating rink back in the day..Awesome hooked out classic feel good cut that would always fill the floor with skaters and load the dance floor with disco gals and guys out for a great night...This song will stick in your head for days because of the sharp hooks, classic Disco Pop!
Watching andrea perform “more more more on don kirshners new rock concert and finding out another former kiss guitarist bruce Kulick was performing on another one of my fav disco tunes brought me back here to this classic fun song. I’m goin to request “instant replay” along with “more more more” at my 18 year old sons wedding next year.
Childhood memories still the best ones.. I remember well, l was twelve, jumping up on this gorgeous track to the ceiling, today's kids deserve the same fun, just have fun & paaaarty, never let any evil dare to harm you guys ❤
this guy has one hell of a voice. wow. I came here from his I can't dream about you song that I heard on my AM radio on the way to work - found myself singing it loudly in my car; that's one catchy tune.
Dan Hartman was a great musician. He was headed to the top of the heap before fate took his life at a young age. Dan was a few years younger than me, and he and I went to the same John Harris High School in Harrisburg, PA. He and I went to the same church too. During the 1960s Dan and his brother and a few other local kids formed the band "The Legends" That was a great local band, and the band "just missed" stardom in the late 1960s. In the early 1970s, Dan left the Legends to seek a solo career. In 1972 he joined The Edgar Winter Group, and he wrote and sang many songs for the band. Dan's best song there was "Free Ride" This "Instant Replay" song only charted as high as #29 on the USA Billboard Chart, but it should have done better. It's a great song to sing to while driving down the highways.
Dan was a musical genius, truly a golden talent to give us his gifts in music. I could give a rats ass who is gay or not, that so doesnt even matter. The point is he didnt waste his talents and lived his life how he felt was best. I hope that no man will ever critisize or judge him for that no matter what they think wrong or right for people to do. Who made judging men or haters God? Oh thats right they are humans too. Homosexuals have been around since the dawn of creation and will be there no matter what laws are passed or not. I personally choose women and am not gay, but thats my choice, and Im very happy 23 years married and its wonderful. Racism has many forms, hating gay people is as silly as hating grape flavor when you prefer another choice. To each his own, remember? I sure do, people say it all the time. Some of the jackasses dont really mean it, and I dare anyone else to force "Thats how we founded this country" Bullshit. we founded it on freedom. Dont give people freedom and they will kill you for it sooner or later, But giving people freedom or them taking it means they are free to do what they want. Wake up and educate yourself to the reality we all live in and with. Dont lie to yourself and hid behind religion or opinion of racist origin based on what you were taught. Free your mind and accept the facts as they are face value. No one should force anyone to do something, being gay includes that as a part of the many listed things too vast to pen.
Brigham Harden Well said my brother i agree 100 percent. Some of the best music in the world comes from those very diverse people. Music has no limitations or boundaries thats what makes it universal.Thank God for our diverse people for they bring us some of the greatest entertainment. I welcome them all. And their the most creative.
Agreed no debate there. God will judge both the quick and the dead, gay or musically talented. While I dont want to see public necking from both types I see some things the world does not offer just as equal as the things it does. Gods plan isnt about how Christians can form hate groups and think they now live sin free lives daily. That is the largest fucking lie I personally have both seen and heard. Money corrupts these people the same way it does criminals, and the worst part is if seen hating one type of group or another they think is sinning they lead other new faithful people into their dens. Not all Christians are bad people, some are true hearts I know some personally who are saints in my life. I get so angered by uneducated comments and the stupider the comment the more likely these poor saps will suck onto a group in a church filled with a segregated chapel. The childrens pastor at my former church was married to her high school flame, and got pregnant by a man who had recently lost his wife in an auto crash, I know both the husband the wife and the man. Yes its wrong, yes thats ugly, but look at them, they are people. Were all people, Christians will continue sinning and maybe even die in the act. Perhaps we all had better re-evaluate who Jesus is, what God wants from man and how we can live a better faith filled life with a little more joy in it, along with all the mistakes we are all going to make. Book of Job tells us very clearly what God wants in His servants, Jesus concretes that agenda with the need to seal the relationship on Gods terms and teaches clearly to love one another., That love one another was not just for the 12 disciples first following Jesus. He meant any devoted person who askes His forgiveness and accepts Him as savior and Lord. Still not perfect, and Jesus did say go and sin no more, which is perhaps possible for alien visiting our planet, but for man we were born in sin, are cleaned of its effects for salvation but that does not mean we are all granted a pass, some choose to renounce Gos altogether. There is the real problem Christians face is internal clicks in churches that think they are sinless perfect do goods, and the fact that few of these same people actually share the gospel at all to a total stranger they happily meet on the bus stop corner or in a car crash or whatever. Major structural issues, and dont get me started on the Catholics, I dont judge their souls, I do discern their practices. And some Catholic people I know, are rare individuals, one is my wifes brother. He is a doctor, and hes one of the kindest selfless faith filled people I have met, so much so that he embraces my faith practices and prays along with us over meals and family gatherings. He is Gods servant so not all Catholics Id guess are heading to Hades. The Vatican is a stronghold beast f a fortress, own police, own laws ETC. Its ugly but they know what they are securing inside the chamber of the thier cathedral in Rome.Multi billions of dollars worth of income to manipulate the worlds leaders as well as the UN. Look a little closer into the Catholic Church, study their involvements with public agendas and leaders involved all around the world. You would be shocked to learn some things. But its been that way with them since their inception. Rome didnt stand a chance after they were a major seat in power, and money buys all the power. Cheers my friend. Godbless you and keep you!
@ Brigham Harden : The world would be a better place to live if there were more open minded people like you. Not that it should matter but I'm straight.
Quién no recuerda en las discos de los años 80, escuchar esta canción y todo el mundo salia a bailar su versión larga duración. Lamentable la pérdida de un talentoso cantante.. NO me importa como disfrutaste TU vida. Pero, DESCANSA EN PAZ DAN. En nuestros corazones estará tu buena musica.
No idea what happened but this classic stalled at #29 on 1/13/1979. I bought the 45 before that and still have it. Great dance tune. He was the awesome voice behind Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" in the fall of 1973.
OMG!!!! This song just came on Studio 54 on Sirius/XM Radio and I went into INSTANT RECALL and danced away until my husband came into the living room! WHAT A FRICKIN’ FUUUUUN song!!! Reminded me of my roller skating nights at the rink. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
sorry to see and hear so many fantastic singer has passed and not to many of there's fars know about it. when i begins to listen to singer Dan Hartman muisc and was looking to hear more from him i get the new that he has passed but i am very thankful for singer like him and George Michael. and for the ones who are still here like singer paul a young. jt Taylor.rober bell and the hold cool a the gang all of the other singer that we still here thank you for the music that you make

Back in the day when you didn't care if the artist was white or black, you just enjoyed the music.
Nice
Still don't care as long the music is good to listen to and/or dance to.
Don't you mean black or white, gay or straight, disco or rock?
@Camila Vitrei ; agree with ya' sentiment but plenty of white artists got burned by managers, agents, publishers, promoters too etc.

I agree, but he became much better with Charlie Midnight

Danced to this tune many times. He passed away 15 mins from my house. RIP. 💃🕺🏼🪩
My favorite song!!! RIP to Dan Hartman. 😢
Dan was such a major integral part for the Edgar Winter group,he had a R@B feel to his music. He wrote the James Browns hit Living in America.
Yup! he wrote, sang lead and played the opening guitar riffs of "FREE RIDE!" It was basically a Dan Hartman song.
he wrote James' album with Charlie Midnight with who he also wrote Dan's I Can Dream About You album with, besides the title song, which Dan wrote himself and Electricity which Dan wrote with Nona Hendryx

I miss Dan Hartman, he was very talented
Hi, how are you?
Oh man, this song took me back to the great late 70s, just graduated from HS in 1977, became a DJ for a year before going to med school in Brazil. Dan Hartman was a super musician. No doubt the late mid to late 70s and the 80s, were, in my opinion, the golden era for music regardless of genre, from disco, rock, R&B, rap to jazz and latin music. There were so many great bands with awesome songs, unique sounds and styles of playing instruments that it was hard for a single to stay in the top as everybody sound so good, even album covers were so cool and fun, this is no longer present in today’s music. These guys were truly musicians, composers, arrangers, and much more. I wish I could have a Time Machine…🙂😜
Me too
OMG am i the only one who thinks the main dude is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE
He may be best remembered as bass player in The Edgar Winter Group, for whom he wrote the song Free Ride. Unfortunately he died in 1994, from an AIDS related brain tumor.
@@annrcantu9273 ah man all the attractive men are gay lmao
MAN..... how did I find this? I don't care.... I'M DANCING!!!!
He has an amazing smile and just reading the comments realise that he was gay!!! Why oh why are all the cute guys gay....gutted! Still this song never ever fails to put a smile on my face and takes me back to being 18 single and not a care in the world. 1978 was a great year musically too xxx
@@sheilamitchell2215 i know!! he’s adorable but i’m glad he probably made some man very happy 🤣 you’re lucky you got to experience those times!
You set my lips on fire
You won the key to my heart
You've got a special way to move me
Can't stop now - let's do it again!
You keep me dancin' through the moonlight
I feel the pleasure in your touch
And everything you are is heaven
Oh, I can't get enough, no I can't get enough!
I've got to have it!
(Instant replay)
Ooh woh oh-oh
(Instant replay)
I've got to have your love again
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I feel so good about us
I found a shining star
And when I look into your eyes
It's magic!
Well, I just know this can't be a dream
I'm so happy it must be real
In every way it's getting stronger
Now you know it, let me show it
Oh, I've got to have it now
(Instant replay)
Oh-oh-oh-oh yeah
(Instant replay)
Got me floating on a cloud
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Got me dancing all around, all around, all around

Feeling nostalgic tonight! I was in the 6th grade when I danced with the drill team at Indianapolis Public School 45 under the leadership of Ms. Mary Boldin!! This was in 1981 ❤❤❤
I loved this music and still do! Dan was such a talented young man. The world lost so much talent when he died at age 44. We miss you Dan!
My very beloved White Soul Sagittarian Brotha!!! 💘 🎶 😍 🌈 Damn, this song reminds me of the Path train system in NYC!!! Folks used to blast their radios in the subway system all the time!!! Continue RIHP to the late great Dan Hartman!!! 💘 🎶 😍 🌈 ♐ 🏹 💃
Danny was my cousin never got to meet him was before my time but his older brother David was my best friend unfortunately David has past in December of 22 now the brothers are reunited RIP Dan and David 💜💜🔥🎸🤘✌️
Sorry to hear that David has passed.
I'm sure he was a lovely man as was his brother,
I remember reading that their mother asked David to buy Dan a toy monkey for Christmas.
They seemed a very close family,
How are you related?
Thank you in anticipation.
I'll never forget back in the 70s in Monterey California when this very attractive young woman asked me to dance with her on this song... I was flattered...... Everytime I hear this song I think of her
But you were gay, so was my experience anyway. Several young asked me dance too, but not my type, lol, women, lol
who said i never said that
but i only dance with women
@@markjohnston1516 He didn't say he was gay.Why are you saying that?
And she thinks of you, too, but prolly not. :)
Dan was such a talented artist! RIP and thank you for all the joyful memories generated by your music.
Hi, how are you?
One of the songs that defined the 70s disco era. One damn good song. RIP Dan Hartman.
DAN R.I.P. WE LOVE YOU.
Tengo 59 años de edad, cuando salió todo este tipo de música estába en mis 15 primaveras. Lo que quiero decir es que goce, disfrute, viví los años 70s y 80s con todos su géneros. Les digo una cosa, para mí fue extraordinario si volviera a nacer pediría exactamente lo mismo, no cambiaría un segundo. Salu2
Me ocurrio tal cual................. La edad Maravilloza, La edad del ORO.
Dan Hartman is a disco genius. RIP. Electronic dance music will never compare. Disco rules forever. 👫👬👭💃🎤
Yassssssssssssssssssss
Good music doesn't get old
Dan Hartman was so talented and such a versatile musician and cute! Free Ride, with the Edgar Winter Group, This Is It, Instant Replay. Vertigo/Relight My Fire with Loleatta Holloway, Love Sensation by Loleatta Holloway, I Can Dream About You, and Livin' in America for James Brown. He is truly missed.
After reading these Comments left by others. Which are all so Incredibly True!!! It just goes to show & prove how much Music means to Everyone!!! Good Music Cures All!!! RIP Dan!!! I hope I get to Thank You in person some day???
The righteous gemstones brought me here. what a funky disco treat
Dan Hartman returned to the music scene in 1984 with I can dream about you
It’s 2021 and this song is still fun to listen to!
I would have loved to see what Dan and MJ could have come up with musically. Dan was locked in musically. Went from rock and roll to disco and conquered both. So impressive. It's great to see the comments on here and know he isn't forgotten. Someone should do a book on him. What a story!
sadly passed away ,but his music is crisp and brill to this day.
From AIDS. He was closeted and sexually active with men mostly his whole career.
No matter how bad of a mood you’re in, this song will make you feel better for sure!!
I was 11 years old , when this was playing in rhe radio , growing up
We would jam to it 😆, jt was so much fun 🎉🎵🎶, Rip DH 🌼
Danced this over and over again in the disco days!!
Dan was the lead singer for the Edgar Winter group and penned the hit Free Ride in 1972
Played on Frankenstein too.
He also co-wrote and produced Living In America by James Brown.
Wow his roots in music go a way back... He is amazing dearly missed 💕❣️
and also "Round and Round".....he was so versatile.. :( :(
Dan was co-lead singer for The Edgar Winter Group. Edgar sang a lot of lead vocals as well, and so did Rick Derringer on occasion.
That's G.E. Smith . .the guitarist of Hall and Oates!
He also lead the SNL band for years.
AND Vinnie Vincent from KISS on guitar there too....lol
1:29 OMG THAT BIT IS DAFT PUNK MUSIQUE VOL 1 JUST REVERSE IT AND LOOP IT
I thought that was him!
AND he was Gilda Radner's husband.
Apparently this was a huge hit. I'm 55 and I've never heard this before... and I know music.
How could this be the same guy who sang I Can Dream About You and Free Ride. Fantastic Singer 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏. Too bad there's not great singers like this anymore. Thanks to video we have something to listen to.
Man this was THE Bomb at the skating rink back in the day..Awesome hooked out classic feel good cut that would always fill the floor with skaters and load the dance floor with disco gals and guys out for a great night...This song will stick in your head for days because of the sharp hooks, classic Disco Pop!
RIP Danny. We miss you so much 💕
Watching andrea perform “more more more on don kirshners new rock concert and finding out another former kiss guitarist bruce Kulick was performing on another one of my fav disco tunes brought me back here to this classic fun song. I’m goin to request “instant replay” along with “more more more” at my 18 year old sons wedding next year.
Amo esta canción, la baile y la canté mil veces. Inolvidable.❤❤❤❤
This still is one of my faves🎵!! Rest in Peace Dan Hartman❤️❤️!!
Disco SOUND Is WONDERFUL !!!!!!👍
Childhood memories still the best ones.. I remember well, l was twelve, jumping up on this gorgeous track to the ceiling, today's kids deserve the same fun, just have fun & paaaarty, never let any evil dare to harm you guys ❤
NOW HE’S DOING HIS JOB AT HEAVEN RIP DAN HARTMAN.
Middle school would have been boring without this great track
Such a happy song. I was 18 when this came out, enjoying carefree days and nights with my friends. Fantastic times! Sad that Dan left us too early.
The first time I heard this, I knew I had to buy it. Bought it on 7 and 12 inch vinyl . Still have my vinyl collection. RIP Dan a much missed talent.
They look like they are having fun. Which is what the late 70's was all about
this guy has one hell of a voice. wow. I came here from his I can't dream about you song that I heard on my AM radio on the way to work - found myself singing it loudly in my car; that's one catchy tune.
He's doing two very distinct voices cause the I can dream about you song,he's singing in a lower register I couldn't believe it was the same guy
@Filmation77 Well, Dan was much younger at 28 while this came out. "I Can Dream About You" was like 6 years later while he was 34.
Dan Hartman was a great musician. He was headed to the top of the heap before fate took his life at a young age. Dan was a few years younger than me, and he and I went to the same John Harris High School in Harrisburg, PA. He and I went to the same church too. During the 1960s Dan and his brother and a few other local kids formed the band "The Legends" That was a great local band, and the band "just missed" stardom in the late 1960s. In the early 1970s, Dan left the Legends to seek a solo career. In 1972 he joined The Edgar Winter Group, and he wrote and sang many songs for the band. Dan's best song there was "Free Ride" This "Instant Replay" song only charted as high as #29 on the USA Billboard Chart, but it should have done better. It's a great song to sing to while driving down the highways.
MARVELOUS ❤❤❤
R.I.P Dan😭.
This is a crazy hodgepodge of musicians
Most of them quite famous for being highly sought after recording studio musicians.
🌷🌹RIP Dan🎉
Skating rink days!!
R.I.P will always love your music!!!
Dan was a musical genius, truly a golden talent to give us his gifts in music.
I could give a rats ass who is gay or not, that so doesnt even matter. The point is he didnt waste his talents and lived his life how he felt was best. I hope that no man will ever critisize or judge him for that no matter what they think wrong or right for people to do. Who made judging men or haters God? Oh thats right they are humans too. Homosexuals have been around since the dawn of creation and will be there no matter what laws are passed or not. I personally choose women and am not gay, but thats my choice, and Im very happy 23 years married and its wonderful. Racism has many forms, hating gay people is as silly as hating grape flavor when you prefer another choice. To each his own, remember? I sure do, people say it all the time. Some of the jackasses dont really mean it, and I dare anyone else to force "Thats how we founded this country" Bullshit. we founded it on freedom. Dont give people freedom and they will kill you for it sooner or later, But giving people freedom or them taking it means they are free to do what they want. Wake up and educate yourself to the reality we all live in and with. Dont lie to yourself and hid behind religion or opinion of racist origin based on what you were taught. Free your mind and accept the facts as they are face value. No one should force anyone to do something, being gay includes that as a part of the many listed things too vast to pen.
Brigham Harden Well said my brother i agree 100 percent. Some of the best music in the world comes from those very diverse people. Music has no limitations or boundaries thats what makes it universal.Thank God for our diverse people for they bring us some of the greatest entertainment. I welcome them all. And their the most creative.
Agreed no debate there. God will judge both the quick and the dead, gay or musically talented. While I dont want to see public necking from both types I see some things the world does not offer just as equal as the things it does. Gods plan isnt about how Christians can form hate groups and think they now live sin free lives daily. That is the largest fucking lie I personally have both seen and heard. Money corrupts these people the same way it does criminals, and the worst part is if seen hating one type of group or another they think is sinning they lead other new faithful people into their dens. Not all Christians are bad people, some are true hearts I know some personally who are saints in my life. I get so angered by uneducated comments and the stupider the comment the more likely these poor saps will suck onto a group in a church filled with a segregated chapel. The childrens pastor at my former church was married to her high school flame, and got pregnant by a man who had recently lost his wife in an auto crash, I know both the husband the wife and the man. Yes its wrong, yes thats ugly, but look at them, they are people. Were all people, Christians will continue sinning and maybe even die in the act. Perhaps we all had better re-evaluate who Jesus is, what God wants from man and how we can live a better faith filled life with a little more joy in it, along with all the mistakes we are all going to make. Book of Job tells us very clearly what God wants in His servants, Jesus concretes that agenda with the need to seal the relationship on Gods terms and teaches clearly to love one another., That love one another was not just for the 12 disciples first following Jesus. He meant any devoted person who askes His forgiveness and accepts Him as savior and Lord. Still not perfect, and Jesus did say go and sin no more, which is perhaps possible for alien visiting our planet, but for man we were born in sin, are cleaned of its effects for salvation but that does not mean we are all granted a pass, some choose to renounce Gos altogether. There is the real problem Christians face is internal clicks in churches that think they are sinless perfect do goods, and the fact that few of these same people actually share the gospel at all to a total stranger they happily meet on the bus stop corner or in a car crash or whatever. Major structural issues, and dont get me started on the Catholics, I dont judge their souls, I do discern their practices. And some Catholic people I know, are rare individuals, one is my wifes brother. He is a doctor, and hes one of the kindest selfless faith filled people I have met, so much so that he embraces my faith practices and prays along with us over meals and family gatherings. He is Gods servant so not all Catholics Id guess are heading to Hades. The Vatican is a stronghold beast f a fortress, own police, own laws ETC. Its ugly but they know what they are securing inside the chamber of the thier cathedral in Rome.Multi billions of dollars worth of income to manipulate the worlds leaders as well as the UN. Look a little closer into the Catholic Church, study their involvements with public agendas and leaders involved all around the world. You would be shocked to learn some things. But its been that way with them since their inception. Rome didnt stand a chance after they were a major seat in power, and money buys all the power.
Cheers my friend. Godbless you and keep you!
@ Brigham Harden : The world would be a better place to live if there were more open minded people like you. Not that it should matter but I'm straight.
Omg yes he was
@Ass hole Name Freddie Mercury
Rest in peace, Dan
Love this song
Awesome 👌 👏 Song I absolutely loved Mr Dan and he was so handsome 😍
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS! 😅
What a great feel-good catchy song.
Dan Hartman left us way too soon.
Quién no recuerda en las discos de los años 80, escuchar esta canción y todo el mundo salia a bailar su versión larga duración. Lamentable la pérdida de un talentoso cantante.. NO me importa como disfrutaste TU vida. Pero, DESCANSA EN PAZ DAN. En nuestros corazones estará tu buena musica.
No idea what happened but this classic stalled at #29 on 1/13/1979. I bought the 45 before that and still have it. Great dance tune. He was the awesome voice behind Edgar Winter's "Free Ride" in the fall of 1973.
OMG!!!! This song just came on Studio 54 on Sirius/XM Radio and I went into INSTANT RECALL and danced away until my husband came into the living room! WHAT A FRICKIN’ FUUUUUN song!!! Reminded me of my roller skating nights at the rink. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP Dan,,thanks for the memories,,
John Reynolds the best of Disco.
