Hartman was told the song would be sung by four black guys in a concert situation within the film, and he ended up thinking of a demo he had made of "I Can Dream About You".

The use of the song in the film being performed by actors did not feature Hartman on vocals but studio singer Winston Ford.

[7] Speaking to the Orange Coast in 1985, Hartman stated: "It's been 10 years since my last tour, and I'm really enjoying being back out there.

Musically I've stayed in touch with what's going on, what people relate to, so it's no surprise appearing in front of an audience in 1985.

The title track became Hartman's biggest hit, also appearing on the soundtrack to the 1984 film Streets of Fire.

[5] I Can Dream About You was Hartman's final mainstream studio album, although he did record a follow-up in 1986 titled White Boy.

However, MCA felt the songs did not suit Hartman's image and so the album was shelved, although it has been in circulation unofficially in recent years online.

Dan took some risks on quite a few of those songs that, because of the edginess of the music and lyrics, were ultimately rejected by the record company.

"[2]In 1991, Marc Anthony covered the song "Name of the Game" on his collaboration album with Little Louie Vega entitled When the Night Is Over.

Hartman is seen walking in the forefront with Midnight (who is sitting on the steps) and the band members assembled in the background.

Though Hartman was a member of a major '70s rock act, the Edgar Winter Group, he also had strong R&B and disco credentials.

Hartman, Midnight, and Iovine all do their part to make I Can Dream About You the focused, consistently rewarding album that it is.
