Hi Dj PAult, can you repost please. Thank you!
I ADORE this song. Thank you!
Yes, RIP Frankie. 🙁
Dan’s music is always so uplifting and positive. This is another of the prime examples.
I Can Dream About You was such a massive slow-burner that I thought this follow-up would be at least a Top 20 pop Hit. At least it got to #1 on the Club Play charts.
Thanks for another fine rip, Paul!
What a great surprise, DJPaulT. Another hit in my top favorites. Thank you..
any chance you have some music from him from the 80’s???
it would be very nice to his memory!!!
thanx a lot Paul!!!!
I’ll check Giorgio.
thanx a lot Paul!!!!
Larry Levan & Frankie Knuckles were very good friends !!
Frankie Knuckles passed away on Monday 31st of March 2014 in the age of 59!!!
Had no idea Frankie psaaed away. May he rest in peace.
Great song, cool remixes also. Larry Levan remixes are always welcome.
Thanks for your super rips, Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Junior 🙂
I like this song. It does sound a bit like his song from Fletch (“Get Out of Town”), which has some hilariously bad lyrics. I Can Dream About You is my favorite, followed by his late 70s disco stuff (some of which you already posted). Thanks!
I love the Fletch tune Mike actually I pretty much like all of Hartmans music it’s a shame he no longer with us.
Great track by Dan Hartman! Very happy to have the instrumental version in Paulity.
I always found it strange that the next single ‘Name Of The Game’ didn’t do as well as it should have been. That 12 inch got an awesome Chris Lord-Alge remix.
Thanks for this excellent post. More Dan Hartman is always welcome!
You’re welcome Stefano 🙂
Thanks Paul. I always remember I Can Dream About You by him. This is however just as good.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
Nice track..:)
Thanks as always for the rip, Paul..
You’re welcome Ex15 🙂
Late one today lol i’ve been refreshing my page every once in a while for almost two hours was waiting with baited breath. Was wondering if we’d get yet another Falco or Wham! Thanks for the post Paul
Yeah Neil this one took me a littlonger today. No more Wham! or Falco for a while 🙂
