Dan Hartman – Get Outta Town (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Get Outta Town” (a.k.a. “Fletch, Get Outta Town”) is a song by American musician-singer-songwriter Dan Hartman, released as a single in 1985 from the original motion picture soundtrack for the film Fletch. It was written by Hartman and Charlie Midnight and was produced by Hartman and Richard Landis.

After Hartman’s international success with “I Can Dream About You”, along with the same-titled album released in 1984, it seemed that Hartman would continue gaining hit singles, especially after the album spawned another two American Top 40 singles “We Are the Young” and “Second Nature”. However, when “Get Outta Town” was released, the single failed to make an impact in America or Europe. It was not a major success in the UK either, although it did manage to enter the Top 100 at #99 for a single week (16 November 1985). This was despite a UK re-issue of “I Can Dream About You” entering the Top 10 only a month before. Hartman wouldn’t make another appearance in the UK charts as a solo artist again until 1995 with “Keep the Fire Burnin'”.
