His soulful 1977 album "Longer Fuse" and its smash single "Sometimes When We Touch" – co-written with Barry Mann – reached Platinum in the United States and gave Dan his third Canadian Gold album. The song was later recorded by Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Barry Manilow, Donny Osmond, Tammy Wynette, and many more. Dan was named "Top New Male Vocalist" in both Cashbox and Record World.

Celine Dion’s album Falling Into You – which went 11 times platinum – featured Dan’s song "Seduces Me," which she called her favorite song on the album in numerous concerts and interviews. She later performed "Seduces Me" every night during her five-year stint at Caesar’s in Las Vegas and it was included in her 2008 DVD of her Caesar’s show, which sold over a million copies.

Dan sang the song “It’s a Long Road” on Sylvester Stallone’s first Rambo film, First Blood. In 1988, Dan’s "Never Thought (That I Could Love)" hit the top of the charts.
