Keep the Fire Burnin' (Dan Hartman song)
"''Keep the Fire Burnin" is a song by American musician-singer-songwriter Dan Hartman starring Loleatta Holloway, released as the lead single in 1994 from his posthumous album ''Keep The Fire Burnin'''. The album largely featured remixes of Hartman's previous hits.
==Background==
One of Hartman's final compositions, "Keep the Fire Burnin'" was written and produced by Hartman. Following the release of his 1989 instrumental album ''New Green Clear Blue'', Hartman turned once again to producing and writing, mainly for others. By 1993, Hartman began to record a new album of contemporary pop and dance music. While in the studio during 1993, he noted that ''"So many things have changed in terms of social and political issues, as well as the need for love and personal relationships. All of these things are the reasons why writing and recording new material is most meaningful to me."'' In the end, a total of two songs were completed; "Keep the Fire Burnin'" and "The Love in Your Eyes". The single was released posthumously after Hartman's death on March 22, 1994, from an AIDS-related brain tumor. Released in Europe, the single was not initially successful, but in April 1995 it managed to peak at #49 in the UK, lasting within the Top 100 for a single week.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Charts Company - Keep The Fire Burnin' ft Loleatta Holloway by Dan Hartman Search )〕
"Keep the Fire Burnin'" starred Loleatta Holloway. The song uses samples from Hartman's song "Relight My Fire" which was originally released in 1979 as the follow-up to "Instant Replay". "Relight My Fire" topped the United States dance charts for six weeks, and Holloway featured as vocalist on some versions of the record, singing the "strong enough to walk on through the night" refrain. After working together on "Relight My Fire", Hartman would write and produce the title track of Holloway's fourth and final album for Gold Mind, "Love Sensation" (1980). The song, which was one of her biggest hits, was another US Dance chart topper.
During the recording sessions of 1993, Hartman and Holloway teamed up again for "Keep the Fire Burnin'". Plans for a music video were laid out, however Hartman died before it could be filmed. In an interview with disco-disco.com, Holloway later recalled the song when speaking of her 1992 single "Strong Enough". She said ''"Strong Enough" was a good song. We put a lot of energy and feelings into that song and really it was () Yvonne Turner's idea... I had told her; 'Everybody's always sampling my voice and everything.' And I was like; 'Maybe we should sample something of mine?'. She said; 'No, just take something from the song', and she was saying; 'Just like, you know, certain parts of it that's like 'Strong Enough'.' And I got the same idea to Dan Hartman with a song called "Keep the Fire Burnin'". But he passed away before we did the video. We were getting ready to do the video and that was my idea."''〔
