Dan Hartman was an American musician, singer, songwriter and producer who hailed from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He is best known for his disco hits ‘Instant Replay’, ‘Love Sensation’ and ‘Relight My Fire’.

After his time with Edgar Winter, Hartman released the magnificently titled promotional album ‘Who Is Dan Hartman And Why Is Everyone Saying Wonderful Things About Him?’, which was a retrospective on his career until that point, he later scored big in 1978 with the #1 Disco smash ‘Instant Replay’ (from the album of the same name) which also crossed over to the US and UK Pop charts.
