    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

    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.

    Dan’s first single “ Instant Replay” from 1979, catapulted his singing career to stardom. But when “I Can Dream About You” played on the radio, it really soared to the top Billboard 100 music charts in the 1980’s. Turning him into a bigger singing star. I Can Dream About You is featured in the film “ Streets of Fire” in the 1980’s, it failed at the box office, but this song made the movie popular again.
    Dan’s Instant Replay was a disco hit song, everyone danced to. Then I Can Dream About You was more of a r&b/pop hit song.
    Sadly Dan Hartman died from cancer, I believe in the late 80’s. R.I.P. Dan

    This song was made for a movie called "Streets of Fire", a Rock & Roll action fable, very cheesy 80s, but man do I love it. The soundtrack is fantastic, full of original songs. If you want something upbeat try "Nowhere Fast" or "Tonight is What it Means to be Young" from this move. Funny you said he has soul because in the movie a Black man lip-sinks this song.

    The video shown playing on the TV is from the 1984 neo-noir rock musical film "Streets of Fire." And the performers are the Sorels, a fictitious group specifically formed for the film. But, as you can tell, although lead singer/actor Stoney Jackson is lip-synching the song, his dance moves are the real deal, as he previous appeared in Michael Jackson's music video "Beat It." According to Dan Hartman, "The producers and directors of Streets of Fire wanted the best of everything, so they hired the best singers, the best dancers and best actors to play the parts in the film. So the singers in 'I Can Dream About You' who are the Sorels are actually actors, and I wrote and sang this song." Dan Hartman, RIP March 1994.
