Interview: How Dan Hartman Turned Rejection into the 80s Classic “I Can Dream About You”

22 min • 18 oktober 2022
He wrote and performed one of the most eartastic hook laden classics of the 80s. I Can Dream About You, the underrated top 10 hit from 1984 is true sonic time machine.. over it’s 4 minutes it transports you back the greatest year in music history. Sadly it’s singer, the great Dan Hartman would only live for another few years after it was a hit Dying at only 43 from a brain tumor… today’s story is an interesting one… He wrote this song as a demo for Daryl Hall and John Oates only they weren’t able to record it.. So he pretty much recorded the way he thought they would’ve done it imitating their sound with reverence and it was brilliant. Used for the cult classic film Streets of Fire it became a smash of the summer of 1984. Including exclusive interviews with John Oates from Hall and Oates and his former bandmate, Edgar Winder from the the Edgar Winter group, this is a cant miss.
