Dan Hartrman passed away from AIDS several years ago, just FYI. I'm HIV+, and followed Dan's career closely, both with the Edgar Winter Group and solo. He did have a disco hit - "Instant Replay" - which is simply charming. Thanks for delving a little into his work - I appreciate it.
Ok. You can't just say "tuning in from Fiji." You must, MUST rub it our faces, that WE, a) aren't in Fiji b) don't LIVE in Fiji c) will NEVER live in PARADISE. I expected better from you N--6!
Yes please! Streets of fire is one of my all-time favorite cult films. With a lot of great actors. The soundtrack is fabulous. A lot of music is featured in this movie.
This is from the movie “Streets of Fire “. It’s had one of the best soundtracks ever. The video playing on the TV is scenes from the movie. The movie was good but wasn’t a big hit but the soundtrack was huge.
Dan was an amazing singer and performer (look up this one on Letterman) but also write songs for other artists. He actually offered this song to Hall and Oates because they were good friends. They turned him down so he made it into a huge hit all by himself! They stayed friends and they ended up recording a version (after he passed) as a tribute. ❤️
Funny Fact ... -- He also had to serve prison time right as the song started to chart... so he actually made money off the royalties, because the Label did not have him out touring and racking up bills
I never knew about him offering this to Hall and Oates... but it makes TOTAL sense, as this sounds SO much like them! Good for Dan for doing this himself!
Dan Hartman was such an underappreciated artist. Jay, you've forgotten how much you loved Instant Replay, which is VERY uptempo. I Can Dream About You with its moving sidewalks was written by Dan Hartman for Hall & Oates, but they turned it down. NOW, you absolutely must hear his epic Vertigo/Relight My Fire. It is definitely FIRE! RIP Dan Hartman, who was taken from us too soon by AIDS.
I sing this to my wife whenever I hear it. I think it was in movie Streets of Fire. Just some trivia, he was also a former member of the Edgar Winter group. So now you’ve reacted to Edgar Winter Group, Rick Derringer, and Dan Hartman.
Yep. SoF. Another great Walter Hill joint (one of my favorite directors). An underrated movie, IMO. Saw it in the theater (it was a box office bomb). I recommend this movie for a reaction video.
@@RabbiSteve I saw it in the theatre too. I love this movie! Great cast, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, and Amy Madigan, they've reacted to 2 of her movies already. I'm a huge Walter Hill Fan. I recommend people watching a lot of his films, "Streets of Fire", "The Warriors", "48 Hrs", "The Long Riders", "Extreme Prejudice", "Red Heat", "Southern Comfort". He is the king of action movies.
One of my favorite songs! My dad could not understand that the video was from a movie and that it was not a black male group singing this song....we still laugh about and he STILL does not believe me that it is Dan Hartman!
For decades, I also thought the guys on the TV were singing the song...until this past year or two when I saw the music video again and couldn't believe it was the white guy singing it! Only took me about 40 years to realize this!
The singers in the TV behind the bar were ‘singing’ I can Dream in the movie “Streets of Fire”. I VERY highly recommend you see it. You will see a young Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Michael Pare, and a very nasty looking Willem Defoe, all along with great music!
" I Can Dream About You" is one of my all-time favorite songs of the 80s! You should check out Dan and his band's performance of this song on Soul Train. They are on fire! 🔥 And, Jay, if you want a faster Dan Hartman song, check out his disco hit "Instant Replay"! 🎶
Dan actually wrote it for Hall and Oats but they were too busy finishing up another album I believe so Dan sang it himself. I actually just found that out earlier today lol 🙏🏻
I bought this 45 record when it came out and I still love hearing it nearly 40 years later. It is sheer perfection from beginning to end. It has soul, power, tenderness, sweetness all rolled together. His lead vocals are outstanding. And I love the backup vocals. My favorite line is "Moving sidewalks -- I don't see under my feet". That totally captures the feeling of desire. Just hearing this song makes me feel young again.
This was a very popular song in my childhood. The 1980s was a great time to be a music fan. There was so much variety in the music. A lot of the performers carved out their own paths in their musical expression. I miss the 1980s it was a great time... I loved this song back then.
Dan was riding in a limo in NYC, getting around to doing some Christmas shopping, when he noticed that shoppers were hustling and bustling along, yet not really at all enamored with shopping for Christmas, which gave him the idea of this song, which he was in the middle of writing as it already was. "Moving sidewalks I don't see under my feet Climbing up from down here below Where the streets see me lonely for you, oh" It was his way of expressing that Christmas shopping has turned into a chore, not fun anymore, just going through the motions, as having these strong feelings for another and wanting to just be with them instead. Pretty clever and genius, yet also very relatable with the thoughts and words that he chose for this song, his signature solo song.
This song was featured in 'Streets of Fire' and Robert Townsend, Mykelti Williamson (Bubba from Forrest Gump) and Grand L. Bush (Agent Johnson from Die Hard) were members of the group featured in the film as the song's performers.
Listening to his a vowel lyrics just melts like honey and the guitars funky jabs and bass! Aww i could just listen to that part over the over! His guitars mix is captivating to the 80's sound. It takes me back to good moments ✨️
He was the bass player for the Edgar Winter Group. Remember when y’all were blown away by “Frankenstein”? He wrote and sang “Rock-n-Roll Hoochie Koo” for the EWG. He was a phenomenal musician and songwriter.
According to Daryl Hall, Hartman had initially written the song with Hall & Oates in mind, and offered the song to them to record as their own. Hall & Oates declined, as their new album was about to be released.
I absolutely love this song! It was featured in a 1984 movie "Streets of Fire" which is.described as a rock and roll fairy tale. Fun movie if you just go into it just looking for fun, not seriousness or importance. That movie also has some scenes with The Blasters which is a band y'all should really check out. They are hard to categorize, but I'd say they have a lot of rockabilly influences, spiced up with some TexMex and punk. 😁 That's as close as I can get on a description. Songs from them I'd suggest would be: American Music, Marie Marie, Border Radio, or I'm Shakin'.
Other songs from movie to checkout are "Nowhere Fast" and '" Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" both by Jim Steinman who wrote songs for Meatloaf and Bonnie Taylor among others
Good ol days.. everytime I hear this, I remember Casey Kasem and American Top40.. 1984,1985 great years in music. If I recall correctly, these were in or almost the same time when this was in the countdown, along with Don Henley's Boys Of Summer, Steve Perry's Oh Sherrie, Night Ranger's Sister Christian, Kool & The Gang's Joanna and Misled, Duran Duran's Wild Boys, Wham!'s Everything She Wants, John Waite's Missing You, Van Stephenson's Modern Day Delilah, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band's On The Dark Side, etc...
an all time favorite. originally written for hall and oates but they already finished the album they were working on and had no space for it so dan recorded it himself. emulating h&o’s backing vocal arrangements
The umpha umpha umpha of the late 1970 to early 80. Really something else. Remember Sylvester. You make feel mighty real. And Do you wanna funk. Jeez I wish I could recall those days 😃😃
Huge hit when it came out; still resonates to this day. It's one of those songs that was an instant favorite and just persists as a song that always feels good to listen to. Love it!
One of my favorite Dan Hartman's songs was Relight My Fire. This song was from a movie called Streets of Fire- which is what they're showing on the TV.. He was such a talented guy and he is greatly missed
Such a phenomenal song. I would also recommend "You Are" by Lionel Richie. It's less mainstream today, but was HUGE in the 80's. Great song. Also Cheap Trick's "The Flame" is awesome.
One of my favorite songs from the soundtrack 'Streets of Fire'. They are watching clips from the movie, in the bar. Check it out on the movie channel if you can! Great reaction!
Great song from an underrated artist, who, sadly, left us way too soon, passing from a brain tumor at the age of 43. One of my other favorite Dan Hartman songs is "Get Outta Town" (wayyy more upbeat, Jay!), which was used in the hilarious 80s Chevy Chase movie "Fletch". I think you two would love that film - it's kind of in the vein of Beverly Hills Cop, lots of comedy and some action but with a dramatic story line. Chevy Chase is BRILLIANT in the role. This song also appeared in a movie (soundtrack) called "Streets of Fire," a rock musical also from the 80s.
I love "Fletch". I saw it in the theatre and the sequel. Love the song "Get Out of Town". Where they use it in the movie is such a great scene! Classic! So many 80s movies had great soundtracks with original songs.
Love this song, one of my favourites from the 80s. My favourite part is at the end, you think the song is winding down and then he comes in with that break "I don't understand it..."
He wrote, played bass, and sang lead on the Edgar Winter Group “Free Ride”. A great song but very different. Also the girl in the video is Joyce Heyser who starred in “Just One of the Guys” around the same time this song came out.
Thanks for a great memory. Such a great little rockin' tune, need to add this to my walking tape.🎶🎶🎶🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️💕💕💕 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Dan, who helped produce Edgar Winter on a few of his album, who was a member of the band for many year, and was the bass player on the "Frankenstein" video you reacted to had quite a few hits. His greatest two IMO were his great, classic dance singles "(Vertigo) Relight My Fire" and "Love Sensation" both featuring the great Loletta Holloway.
I really don't remember this song from Dan Hartman. I loved him in the Edgar Winter Group though and a lot of his solo work. When I was much younger, I used his record "Instant Replay" for my routine when I tried out for a semi-pro football team cheerleader position and ended up on the squad. Those were a fabulous few years for me. Got noticed and even became a model based on it. For that, I'll forever be grateful to Dan Hartman. It was fun at that age. Of course, after a few years, I moved on from that and the superficiality of it all. I had more in mind for my life.
Interesting fact about this song, before Dan Hartman recorded this song he had offered it to Hall & Oats. They declined the song since they had just finished their album and had no more room on the album. They were watching MTV months later and heard the song with Hartman singing it. … said it was one of the best songs they never recorded. LOL
This song reminds me of going to my grandparents house at the NJ shore, was always on the radio. 📻. He also did a song on the soundtrack to the movie Fletch, song “Fletch get out of town”.
Dan Hartman was the bassist for the Edgar Winter Group. He played on the phenomenal "Frankenstein" live video you watched. Hall and Oates do a great cover of this one.
The TV clips from this song were because this song was part of the movie "Streets of Fire", where the guys on stage performed it as a motown-type of band.
The story goes that a planned music video for this song was made using footage of The Sorels performing it in " Streets of Fire", and it used this version sung by lead singer Winston Ford. When Dan Hartman got wind of this, he put a stop to it, as his contract stipulated that any version released commercially or for promotional purposes had to have his voice on it. Hartman recorded a new vocal for the video that replaced the one recorded by Winston Ford. A new video with Hartman lip-syncing was later made for the song. Winston Ford himself tragically died young at the age of 55 in a car accident in 2007
Hello, Jay an Amber. Dan Hartman is certainly talented. The first song of Dan's that I heard was his first single, Instant Replay in 1978 when I was, 17. I love it, still!
I remember a low level controversy about lip sinking. He sang this song and they had the guys on the stage performing it in the movie “streets of fire” good movie btw.
First time I ever heard him was in the movie Streets of fire way back in the early '80s. That's why you see it on the TV there It's a scene from the film as a back vocal for the band in the film. Awesome song still love it to this day. I hope that you guys also look into other music films on your other channel streets of fire are being one of them. But also my favorite music film was Eddie and the cruisers one and two. With the background singing done by John cafferty and The Brown Beaver band. You guys should react to their music as well. Much love to you and your family and all the Rob squad family is well
The movie this song was from was called "Streets of Fire" which had an awesome soundtrack. New Music for you to check out. Paralyzer by Finger Eleven (Catchy song, Artistic video) Do What You Do by Mudvayne (Heavy sound, surprising vocals)
This is from the movie ' Streets of Fire'. In the movie the song is sung by the black group. I think for years people thought they were the actual artist and not Hartman. Even I didn't know! Great movie with a great soundtrack! I think you guys would love it.
RIP, Dan. Gone way too soon. The "Shirelles" who did the dancing/singing on the TV, were actually actors. And so was the woman he was singing to; I think I've seen her in a Moody Blues video: "In Your Wildest Dreams".
What confuses many people with this song is that if you watch the movie it's in, the group singing it is black. They Lip synced it. I myself was like what?? when I first saw Dan sing this because I saw the movie before I saw the video. The soulful voice as you describe it crossed over well to make you believe the group was really singing. copy/paste ... "I Can Dream About You [Official Music Video] The Sorels (Dan Hartman)" , and see the group perform the song. Good movie too!
SO happy for this! My first experience with this song was the MTV video...from the movie...my high school had a talent show each year, and they did a Lip Sync segment, because it was big at the time. I came up with a performance....I "lipped" lead, and actually did a good moonwalk...based on the video. Got a ton of kudos. But always love the song as well.
Dan Hartrman passed away from AIDS several years ago, just FYI. I'm HIV+, and followed Dan's career closely, both with the Edgar Winter Group and solo. He did have a disco hit - "Instant Replay" - which is simply charming. Thanks for delving a little into his work - I appreciate it.
Prayers man!
May God be with you!!!
While he was HIV+, he actually died due to a brain tumor. Blessings to you my survivor!
Sorry 😞 didn't know...May God bless you and keep you hun.
Stop spreading LIES!! He didn't Die from AIDS. He died from a Brain Tumor.
Blue eyed soul. He was a genius. Gone too soon, R.I.P.
Fantastic choice, a favourite from the 80s. RIP Dan Hartman. Tuning in from Fiji 🇫🇯
I would love to visit Fiji one day. My sister has traveled all over the world and she said the most beautiful country she ever saw was Fiji.

This song figured prominently in the 80's classic film "Streets of Fire", a movie you must do a reaction vid on.
Yes please! Streets of fire is one of my all-time favorite cult films. With a lot of great actors. The soundtrack is fabulous. A lot of music is featured in this movie.
Great film with young Willem Defoe and brilliant songs by Jim Steinman
Thanks you saved me a lot of typing!
Just told them the same thing great movie
I have suggested both the movie and "Nowhere Fast" and '" Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" several times both by email and comments
He was from my hometown (Harrisburg, PA) and wrote "Living In America" for James Brown
Love this song! It’s also featured in the movie streets of fire
A Rock and Roll Fable
@@nolantomlinson7554 Yeah.. William Dafoe
I wonder if they'd react to Streets of Fire in their movie channel?
Or reactbto The Blasters on this channel!

For a long time I thought this was Hall n Oates. I'll have to look for the tribute version. Thanks

The pictures on the tv screen in the video are from movie Streets of fire.
Yep. SoF. Another great Walter Hill joint (one of my favorite directors). An underrated movie, IMO. Saw it in the theater (it was a box office bomb).
I recommend this movie for a reaction video.
Streets of Fire. First time seeing Willem Dafoe. 🔥

He wrote Free Ride for them
Ah takes me right back to the 80s - classic tune! RIP Dan Hartman - sorely missed! Definitely a nostalgia trip for me!
This song was one of my fav to dance to! Non stop ! “You know you got me spellbound !” My friends and I use to dance and sing to it! So much fun!
One of my favorite songs! My dad could not understand that the video was from a movie and that it was not a black male group singing this song....we still laugh about and he STILL does not believe me that it is Dan Hartman!
I remember people freaking out about the fact he was WHITE...LOL!!!
Until now, I also Thought it was a black group . 👏
For decades, I also thought the guys on the TV were singing the song...until this past year or two when I saw the music video again and couldn't believe it was the white guy singing it! Only took me about 40 years to realize this!
I was in high school in the 80’s , I miss the music and just having fun back when MTV actually played music videos.
Me too! High school in 80s MTV generation
Dan Hartman had a great voice, he wrote and sang The Edgar Winter Group's hit Free Ride
Fun fact. He wrote this song for his friends, Daryl Hall & John Oates but they alr finished their album. So he kept it and here we are.
What a wonderful song, this was a big radio hit. So glad you got a chance to hear this, it's an incredible song.
The singers in the TV behind the bar were ‘singing’ I can Dream in the movie “Streets of Fire”. I VERY highly recommend you see it. You will see a young Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Michael Pare, and a very nasty looking Willem Defoe, all along with great music!

This song is OUTSTANDING! Always special to hear it! :)
Serious high school memories going on with this one. Haven't heard this in ages. Job done you two. I am most definitely smiling. 🇭🇲
This takes me back when this song came out. Love this song!😍
Dan Hartman had a soulful voice and he could hit the high notes with great ease. He also wrote and produced living in America by James brown.
Right, and Simply the Best too! Maybe you like this video about DH too? czcams.com/video/y0cuZSrLa_Y/video.html
I have always loved this song. It reminds me of a Hall & Oates song.
Dan actually wrote it for Hall and Oats but they were too busy finishing up another album I believe so Dan sang it himself. I actually just found that out earlier today lol 🙏🏻
Lots of songs remind me of the 80s... this song puts me there.. more than any other. I love it

I will say. One of my top two songs from the 1980’s.
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Instant Replay"! Instant Replay is one of his 3 #1 hits on the US Dance chart.
This song was basically written to be the theme song for a television show in the mid 1980s. It was called the Insiders.
This was from the soundtrack of a movie called "Streets of Fire". You might want to check that out on your movie reaction channel.
I used to LOVE cruising with my windows down, belting this song!!!!!

I loved this song. It was the soundtrack to my 6th grade crush.
One of my dad's last favorite songs before he died. I burned cd's for him and they always had to include this song.
Always loved this song. Takes me back to my childhood; we ALWAYS had the radio on, and this was a radio staple
RIP Dan Hartman, LEGEND!
My teen years in the 80s, always liked this song. 😊
Listening to his a vowel lyrics just melts like honey and the guitars funky jabs and bass! Aww i could just listen to that part over the over! His guitars mix is captivating to the 80's sound. It takes me back to good moments ✨️
A soulful heartfelt song with emotion, the emotion of love.
He was the bass player for the Edgar Winter Group. Remember when y’all were blown away by “Frankenstein”? He wrote and sang “Rock-n-Roll Hoochie Koo” for the EWG.
He was a phenomenal musician and songwriter.
Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo was not EWG it was Rick Derringer (solo).
According to Daryl Hall, Hartman had initially written the song with Hall & Oates in mind, and offered the song to them to record as their own. Hall & Oates declined, as their new album was about to be released.
What a BIG Mistake they made .
Dan wrote "Living In America" for James Brown...have to listen to his "Autumn" from his Edgar Winter days.
Dan Hartman wrote and sang Edgar Winter Group's biggest hit "Free Ride" which was featured in many commercials for quite awhile.
I absolutely love this song! It was featured in a 1984 movie "Streets of Fire" which is.described as a rock and roll fairy tale.

Such a great young talent to have passed at such an early age.

Thanks for a great memory. Such a great little rockin' tune, need to add this to my walking tape.🎶🎶🎶🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️💕💕💕 Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Dan, who helped produce Edgar Winter on a few of his album, who was a member of the band for many year, and was the bass player on the "Frankenstein" video you reacted to had quite a few hits. His greatest two IMO were his great, classic dance singles "(Vertigo) Relight My Fire" and "Love Sensation" both featuring the great Loletta Holloway.
I really don't remember this song from Dan Hartman. I loved him in the Edgar Winter Group though and a lot of his solo work.
When I was much younger, I used his record "Instant Replay" for my routine when I tried out for a semi-pro football team cheerleader position and ended up on the squad. Those were a fabulous few years for me. Got noticed and even became a model based on it. For that, I'll forever be grateful to Dan Hartman. It was fun at that age. Of course, after a few years, I moved on from that and the superficiality of it all. I had more in mind for my life.
Interesting fact about this song, before Dan Hartman recorded this song he had offered it to Hall & Oats. They declined the song since they had just finished their album and had no more room on the album. They were watching MTV months later and heard the song with Hartman singing it. … said it was one of the best songs they never recorded. LOL
one of my fave songs ever...didn’t know what dude looked like until years after it came out....they always had the sorrells in the video on mtv lol .
This song reminds me of going to my grandparents house at the NJ shore, was always on the radio. 📻. He also did a song on the soundtrack to the movie Fletch, song “Fletch get out of town”.
Dan Hartman was the bassist for the Edgar Winter Group. He played on the phenomenal "Frankenstein" live video you watched. Hall and Oates do a great cover of this one.
The TV clips from this song were because this song was part of the movie "Streets of Fire", where the guys on stage performed it as a motown-type of band.
The story goes that a planned music video for this song was made using footage of The Sorels performing it in " Streets of Fire", and it used this version sung by lead singer Winston Ford. When Dan Hartman got wind of this, he put a stop to it, as his contract stipulated that any version released commercially or for promotional purposes had to have his voice on it. Hartman recorded a new vocal for the video that replaced the one recorded by Winston Ford. A new video with Hartman lip-syncing was later made for the song. Winston Ford himself tragically died young at the age of 55 in a car accident in 2007
Hello, Jay an Amber. Dan Hartman is certainly talented. The first song of Dan's that I heard was his first single, Instant Replay in 1978 when I was, 17. I love it, still!
I remember a low level controversy about lip sinking. He sang this song and they had the guys on the stage performing it in the movie “streets of fire” good movie btw.
First time I ever heard him was in the movie Streets of fire way back in the early '80s. That's why you see it on the TV there It's a scene from the film as a back vocal for the band in the film. Awesome song still love it to this day. I hope that you guys also look into other music films on your other channel streets of fire are being one of them. But also my favorite music film was Eddie and the cruisers one and two. With the background singing done by John cafferty and The Brown Beaver band. You guys should react to their music as well. Much love to you and your family and all the Rob squad family is well
He wrote, produced and played on James Brow's "Living in America" for the Rocky 4 Movie
I loved this song so much in 80s. Didnt know he passed away till now
The movie this song was from was called "Streets of Fire" which had an awesome soundtrack.
New Music for you to check out.
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
(Catchy song, Artistic video)
Do What You Do by Mudvayne
(Heavy sound, surprising vocals)
Well, if they're going to do Finger Eleven, why not start with "One Thing"?
Written for the film Streets of Fire. The group seen on the TV sing the song in the film.
This is from the movie ' Streets of Fire'. In the movie the song is sung by the black group. I think for years people thought they were the actual artist and not Hartman. Even I didn't know! Great movie with a great soundtrack! I think you guys would love it.
RIP, Dan. Gone way too soon. The "Shirelles" who did the dancing/singing on the TV, were actually actors. And so was the woman he was singing to; I think I've seen her in a Moody Blues video: "In Your Wildest Dreams".
What confuses many people with this song is that if you watch the movie it's in, the group singing it is black. They Lip synced it. I myself was like what?? when I first saw Dan sing this because I saw the movie before I saw the video. The soulful voice as you describe it crossed over well to make you believe the group was really singing. copy/paste ... "I Can Dream About You [Official Music Video] The Sorels (Dan Hartman)" , and see the group perform the song. Good movie too!
SO happy for this! My first experience with this song was the MTV video...from the movie...my high school had a talent show each year, and they did a Lip Sync segment, because it was big at the time. I came up with a performance....I "lipped" lead, and actually did a good moonwalk...based on the video. Got a ton of kudos. But always love the song as well.
OHHhhh!!! I know this song! Didn't know the artist before now - great song. Definitely a head-bobber!
A young Micheal Pere and Diane Lane's first movie....Streets of Fire, A Rock and Roll Fable. Also songs by Stevie Nicks and Laurie Sargent.
