Dan Hartmann actually first wanted Daryl Hall to sing this. Hall and Oates were either touring or recording a new album and they were unable to do it. So Dan sang it himself. Really gifted man.
Hall & Oates had just completed their new album at the time and it had gone to press which meant it was too late for additional tracks to be added. Daryl Hall has performed it live several times as a tribute to Dan.
This song came out in 1984. It was from a movie called "Streets of Fire "(1984). The film clips you see of the music group singing and dancing on stage are actual clips from the movie.
Came out in 84. It was a big hit and was in the film ' Streets of Fire'. The footage of Dan looking to the TV with the guys dancing in the film came directly from the film.
No Talent to Make Songs and Music like this Today . That was a Special Time in History , and Dan Hartman was a Talented Person . Amazing Song , put to Amazing Music. If this Song was Newly Released Today , it would be a Instant International Hit .
What I so love about the songs, and the groups of the 80's, so many of them brought old style doo wap, and instruments like the saxophone 🎷, trumpets, incorporated into their music,..new wave, techno,..but they fell back on the old style of the 50's, 40's big band,..yess this has that 80's sound,..but the lyrics, and partial style, in the movie the group performing to the song, when I saw this movie in the theater, so reminded me of the Temptations,..yess the moon walk,..but that coordinated group dancing,..just awesome,..thank you for checking out this wonderful song, Rip Dan, ..Godspeed, Peace ✌
The group on the tv performing this song was from an 80’s movie Streets of Fire. Not bad, kind of cheesy of course and i haven’t seen it in years. A singer is kidnapped and her ex is hired to rescue her and this other band is discovered during the course of the rescue and end up opening up for her at the end, playing this song of course. Willem Defoe, Rick Moranis and Diane Lane starred in it, pretty good line up.
Dan Hartman released I can dream about you in 1984. I remember hearing it for the first time and I was hooked. Love, Love, Love It. It broke my heart when Dan passed away on March 22nd 1994 from a brain tumor.
Just wanted a greatest song from our past what an incredible shame that we lost this man. But we still have his music and it's as good today. If. Not? Better than. It? Was back? Then?
I’m so sorry that I didn’t learn about this underrated talent before he passed away in 1994. What a phenomenal talent and so many he wrote for like Dinan Ross, Tina Turner and James Brown to name a few and also part of the Edgar Winter Group. Love his song Waiting to See You from the Ruthless People soundtrack. Absolutely magnificent. RIP Dan😢😢😢
This comes from The Streets of Fire soundtrack. All really good songs. Check it out please. If I am not mistaken Dan Hartman was the Bass player on Frankenstein...
Dan Hartman was an underrated Blue-eyed Soul singer who died to soon in 1994 at the age of 43.
God I miss the 80s.. so much fun, so much energy, so much talent.

Stoney Jackson was the leader of the fictitious band... I loved it. Didn't know who the real singer was until years later 🎶

I think it utterly impossible for anyone to be able to sing this song better than Dan Hartman. No way and RIP 😢

Micheal Pare as Tom Cody.
Uma das melhores músicas dos anos 80, inesquecivel, marcou muito aqui no Brasil em 1984

Another good one for up-tempo couples dancing.

I love that song from the original movie. It was meant for him to do it. ❤️🎶
Not complicated. Great voice, Great chorus, always loved this one. The girl in the video was in a couple 80s movies and was a hottie back then.
White boy got Soul!
Such a jam! 🙏🏻
Go O's!
Streets of Fire was a great movie. Great soundtrack album
Try 'Relight My Fire' Dan Hartman - that's DISCO!!!
RIP dan
You need to listen to The Name Of The Game also by Dan Hartman.
This comes from The Streets of Fire soundtrack. All really good songs. Check it out please. If I am not mistaken Dan Hartman was the Bass player on Frankenstein...
84 or 85 and was from movie streets of fire
The 80s lives on forever
Always loved this song but I always thought is was a Man of Color that sang it!
Great reaction guys!
The song is from the movie Streets Of Fire which is a rock & roll fantasy show with an excellent story line, watch it!!!!
That's right I forgot about this song, what a great song and a vibe. From, what 1986 or thereabouts?
RIP Dan x
Has a Motown vibe!
Dan Hartman died too soon in 1994 at age 43.
Good choice guys goes back some decades 1985.👏
Love ❤️ the response I have a request for you to respond to True to your heart,by 98° and Stevie Wonder
It is a good song
Video features a young Robert Townsend on the lip sync background vocals...and of course "yours truly."
Wait what? Is this the real Stoney? 😊
Top choon 👌
1984
Shawn and Mel please take a listen to the Righteous Brothers "Just Once In My life"
best not watching vid,just music.
It's from a movie they lip synced Dan's song for the Movie, look it up.
Dan Hartman said that he did not trust no one to sing the song in Streets of Fire, so they added makeup to make him look like a black man.
Oh you kids…I guess you never knew that songs from the old days actually have better melody than Cardi B.
Im surprised no one knows Dan Hartman was gay and died of AIDS in March 1994 at age 43. Do you have to be my age, 64, to know this? Geez.
A great great song!
Please react to Hal Ketchum (small town Saturday night)
WHATTTTT a CHUNEEEEEE..??????
