He first gained fame as bassist and vocalist for the \u003cstrong\u003eEdgar Winter Group\u003c\/strong\u003e, contributing to the iconic rock hit \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e (1973). Hartman's restless creativity led him to pursue a solo career just as disco was reaching its peak, and he proved to be a natural fit for the dancefloor. Beyond his own recordings, he became a sought-after producer and collaborator, later crafting hits for \u003cstrong\u003eJames Brown\u003c\/strong\u003e and co-writing \u003cem\u003eRelight My Fire\u003c\/em\u003e for Tina Turner. His 1984 solo hit \u003cem\u003eI Can Dream About You\u003c\/em\u003e introduced him to a new generation of pop fans. Hartman passed away in 1994, but his music — particularly his disco-era output — has enjoyed a lasting revival among collectors and DJs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Record\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInstant Replay\u003c\/em\u003e was released in 1978 on Epic Records and became one of the defining anthems of the late-disco era. Built on an irresistible, pulsing groove with Hartman's smooth, soulful vocals riding high over lush orchestration and driving percussion, the track was a staple of clubs and radio alike. The extended 12\" version on Side A gives the song room to breathe — and to \u003cem\u003emove\u003c\/em\u003e — stretching the instrumental breaks and building the energy in a way the 7\" single simply couldn't match. It peaked at \u003cstrong\u003e#1 on the Billboard Disco chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and crossed over to the pop charts, cementing Hartman's status as a disco heavyweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide A:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instant Replay (Extended Version) — Matrix: 8808-A-1A-2HZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide B:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instant Replay (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl (VG+):\u003c\/strong\u003e The record has been professionally cleaned with a \u003cstrong\u003eSpin-Clean record washer\u003c\/strong\u003e and stored in a fresh new plastic inner sleeve.
