This song from a movie soundtrack was BY FAR Dan Hartman's biggest solo hit. BY FAR. It reached #6 on the US charts and was a big hit elsewhere.
Written by Hartman and co-produced by him alongside Jimmy Iovine, the song in this version did not actually appear in the movie.It was a stipulation in Hartman's contract that his version be released as a single if any single was released. That worked out well for him.
Notice how I have not mentioned the movie? That's because it's hardly worth mentioning. It was not a great movie. It was a HUGE flop at the box office. History has forgotten what this movie was about.
Two videos were made for this song. In this one, Hartman is hitting on actress Joyce Hyser.
In this one, the fictional band from the movie is "performing" with Hartman's vocal.
Streets of Fire. Are you happy? Do you even remember this was a movie?
