Daniel Earl "Dan" Hartman (December 8, 1950—March 22, 1994) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer best known for the songs "I Can Dream About You" and "Instant Replay".

Dan Hartman (sept. 24 1992- present) is a very attractive man, but at a young age he became inerested in little boys. He went and began raping little boys and girls. It is very sad and the cops couldnt find him. He soon got a partner in his dirty deeds, his name is Chip Garguilo. He is a chubby little boy who also enjoys the soft skin and warmth of little boys and girls. These perverts are still on the loose, and we must do whatever we can to lock these two away forever

Death

Hartman died of a brain tumor in 1994 in Westport, Connecticut (he was suffering from AIDS at the time). Only after Hartman's death did his homosexuality become public knowledge. At the time of his death, his music was enjoying a revival; a cover version of his song, "Relight My Fire", became a British number-one hit for Take That and Lulu. Sales of Hartman's solo recordings, group efforts, production, songwriting and compilation inclusions, exceed fifty million records worldwide. He was cremated.

-==Career==
-Born in [[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania|Harrisburg]], [[Pennsylvania]], Hartman joined his first band, The Legends, at the age of thirteen, with his brother, Dave.  Hartman played keyboards and wrote much of the band's music.  The band released several records, but none were [[chart-topper|hits]].  He joined the [[Edgar Winter Group]] and played guitar on three of their albums; he wrote the band's second biggest pop hit "Free Ride" in 1972. He launched a solo career in 1976. A re-recorded version of "Free Ride" was used in the movie, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie]]'', in 1995.
-In 1978 Hartman reached number-one on the [[Hot Dance Club Play|Dance Charts]] with the [[single (music)|single]], "[[Instant Replay (song)|Instant Replay]]" (#29 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]]).  [[Musician]]s Hartman worked with on the associated album included [[Vinnie Vincent]] (perhaps most famous for his controversial, short-lived membership - and subsequent sacking - from [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]]) and [[G.E. Smith]]. This was followed by his second chart topper, "Relight My Fire", which featured his friend [[Loleatta Holloway]], singing as well, in 1979. Another song, "Relight My Fire", later became theme for the [[NBC]] talk show ''Tomorrow''. These tracks are considered by many to be anthems of the [[disco]] era.  There was also a [[cover version]] of "Instant Replay", which was a [[one-hit wonder]] for a boy [[duet (music)|duo]] called Yell! (Paul Varney and Daniel James) in January 1990.
-He was back in the [[record chart|charts]] yet again with the [[Top 40|Top 10]] single, "[[I Can Dream About You]]," which was featured on his new album of the same name as well as the ''[[Streets of Fire]]'' [[soundtrack]] in 1984.  The tune reached #6 on the U.S. charts, and (on rerelease in 1985) #12 in the UK. Hartman was featured as a bartender in the video, which received heavy rotation on [[MTV]]. In the movie ''Streets of Fire'', the single "I Can Dream About You" was actually sung by Winston Ford, whose [[human voice|vocals]] were convincingly lip-synched by [[Stoney Jackson]], an [[African-American]] [[actor]].  In 1985, Hartman scored a third number-one single on the [[Hot Dance Club Play|Dance Music charts]], "We Are The Young."
-During the next decade he worked as a songwriter and producer, and collaborated with such artists as [[Tina Turner]], [[Dusty Springfield]], [[Joe Cocker]], [[Bonnie Tyler]], [[Paul Young]], [[James Brown (musician)|James Brown]], [[Nona Hendryx]], [[Holly Johnson]], [[Living in a Box]] and [[Steve Winwood]].
