Rather than jack Timmy84's thread on the Dan Hartman tune Vertigo/Relight My Fire, I figured i'd just do one related to the large body of work he's been involved with.


So here's a quick jaunt through a few of the musical lives of Dan Hartman.

...Love Sensation (writer/producer/musician)


From his 6th solo album of the same name (1984)...

Very underrated as one, for sure.

Co-sign.

I gotta get "Hands Down".

Dan Hartman was a genius:

I love it

thedance said:

Love, love, love that song! I remember hearing that song on the radio here in the U.S. all the time.

Another Dan Hartman song that I love, love, love is, "I Can Dream About You".

Oh my damn, Dan Hartman passed away in 1994. I had no idea he was gone. RIP.

Hartman died of brain tumor resulting from AIDS on March 22, 1994 in his home in Westport, Connecticut at the age of 43.

^maybe that's why I like it.

I have Instant Replay extended 8:15 on Cd, on some compilation, and also the Instant Replay album on CD.

and - I have the Vertigo/ Relight My Fire (vocal) 12:00 too, brilliant track.


I wonder where to buy the Relight My Fire album on CD ?

I guess it's unreleased ?

WOW. There is no other word to describe that video. Just:

WOW.

I didn't know they played the percussion part that way but now it makes perfect sense. Pure genius.

Thank you so much for posting that!

Hey, here's another copy of that performance but the sound and video are synched:
