My Take
Dan Hartman is one of those names casual listeners forget while humming his songs everywhere. He wrote 'Free Ride' for the Edgar Winter Group and scored solo hits like 'Relight My Fire' and 'I Can Dream About You,' which hit No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 1984. What impresses me is his range: singer, songwriter, producer, composer, all at a professional level. Losing him in 1994 at just 43 robbed pop rock of a quietly versatile architect. I admire artists who can shine in the spotlight and behind the console, and Hartman did both with real polish.
