THE EDGAR WINTER GROUP’S GUITAR SUIT
Dan Hartman is a one-hit wonder best known for his 1984 synth pop hit “I Can Dream About You.” Before that he was the bass guitarist and singer in the Edgar Winter Group and in 1974 he was a pioneer of wearable guitars. He had a guitar tech sew cordless microphones and amplifiers into a one-piece silver jumpsuit. Hartman would put on the suit, plug in his bass, and play. He was free to roam the stage without worrying about cords, while also being able to “feel” the music. (Hartman stopped wearing the “guitar suit” after just a few months.)
Dan Hartman’s Bass Guitar Suit, 1974

Edgar Winter bassist and songwriter Dan Hartman designed this $5000 silver “Bass Suit” in 1974. The controls are on the sleeve attached to an aluminum plate. The guitar neck ends in a Crescent Moon and the suit itself has moons on it.
Let’s hear Hartman talk about it in an old interview:
Hartman not only wrote the Top 20 hit , “Free Ride”, for the Edgar Winter Group. Ten year later he released the Top 10 solo hit “I Can Dream About You.” His other big hit was the disco infused “Instant Replay” in 1978.
Could not find a video of it but did find a party in my pants!
