My Personal Thanks To Everyone Over At Dan Hartman's Tribute Site ~ You're Great!
PHOTO ABOVE: Taken directly from my own personal collection, is the extended, twelve-inch, dance version of a HUGE Dan Hartman hit. Any dance DJ, who made a living playing dance records in the 1970's – 1980's, needed to own multiple copies of this disc for backup purposes. It was played so often the vinyl wore out!
I would like to thank Jonathan and the entire staff over at The Dan Hartman Tribute Website, which is located at: www.danhartman.com for all the kind words spoken, in a personal letter sent, to me, within less than twenty-four hours, after the initial publishing of my brand new feature article here entitled “Revisiting The Edgar Winter/Dan Hartman/James Brown Connection.” I was inspired to write that article after waking up on Christmas Day and learning of the passing of music great James Brown. After stopping by here and reading the article, The Official Dan Hartman Tribute Site called the work “brilliant.” Wow! How flattering, indeed! If you hop on over to their site (And I sure hope you do!), you will quickly see they wasted no time in placing the entire feature article online for all of their many family, friends, and other visitors to see.
Once you arrive at Dan's Tribute Site, if you would like to read my article, there are two ways in which you will be able to find it:
First: After the site loads, look directly underneath the large photo
of Dan and you will see the word “NEW!” and click on
“The James Brown Connection.”
Second: Click on my name, which is now included, on the left hand
side of the main page, under the heading:
"Memories Of Dan Hartman"
It is indeed a privilege to have my own personal memories, of the life and times of Dan, included right along with those of Edgar Winter, Neil Sedaka, Dan's sister Kathy Hartman, Edgar Winter Group drummer Chuck Ruff, and others.
Also, I don't want to forget to mention that the non-profit, Dan Hartman Foundation, is doing some great work in carrying on his legacy by awarding both grants and scholarships to budding young artists. Please set aside a few moments of your time and go on over and pay a friendly visit to The Official Dan Hartman Tribute Website.
