'I Can Dream About You'

Anyone remember this great 80's' song(man i like the songs from that decade)

The video also features that girl from the 80's' flick 'Just One Of The Guys'(wonder how many remember that movie). She's really smoking hot in the song's video to!

Anyways I just love the song!

There were two videos for this song.One video features scenes from movie 'Streets Of Fire'.It shows a singing group onstage,lip-syning the song (Stoney Jackson plays the lead singer)...

some trivia about this song...

The late Dan Hartman wrote and produced this song and he offered it to Hall and Oates.He felt it would be perfect for them....it's the same type of blue-eyed soul that they specialize in.Daryl and John turned it down,Dan recorded it himself and it became a huge hit.Interestingly,in 2004 Hall and Oates finally recorded this song.It appears on their covers album 'Our Kind Of Soul' (a superb album,by the way).

Dan Hartman is an artist that most people are unaware of beyond a few hits.

As either a player/singer/writer/producer...

Johnny Winter
Edgar Winter
Todd Rundgren
Rick Derringer
Loleatta Holloway
The Plasmatics
Ian Hunter
Neil Sedaka
Patti Austin
Steve Winwood
Nona Hendryx
Joe Cocker
Tina Turner
Paul Young
Dusty Springfield
Grand Master Flash
.38 Special
Lynyrd Skynyrd


And a generally ignored James Brown album...



...that put The Godfather back in the mainstream public's eye.
