Dan Hill Biography

Dan Hill is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on June 3, 1954 in Toronto, Canada. His 1987 single “Can’t We Try” was a duet with singer Vonda Shepard.

Daniel Grafton Hill IV (born 3 June 1954) is a Canadian pop singer and songwriter. He had two major international hits with his songs “Sometimes When We Touch” and “Can’t We Try”, a duet with Vonda Shepard, as well as a number of other charting singles in Canada and the United States. He also established himself as a songwriter who produced hit songs for artists such as George Benson and Celine Dion.

As one of the new Canadian singers and songwriters, such as Bruce Cockburn and Murray McLauchlan, who emerged from the coffeehouses and other small venues during the 1970s, Hill belongs to the generation who achieved a prominent place in Canadian popular culture. In addition to his Grammy for his work on Celine Dion’s “Falling into You”, he received five Juno Awards and other prestigious awards. A road trip to a Hill concert was the subject of the 1994 Canadian comedy film, South of Wawa. Although he has performed less frequently in recent decades, in 2007, he toured with the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe.

He married lawyer Beverly Chapin-Hill. His father is sociologist Daniel G. Hill and his brother is novelist Lawrence Hill.

He formed a folk music duo with Paul Quarrington called Quarrington/Hill. The group’s final song, “Are You Ready,” was recorded just ten days before Quarrington’s death.

Hill was born in Toronto, the son of social scientist and public servant Daniel G. Hill and social activist Donna Mae Hill (nee Bender, 1928–2018), and older brother of the author Lawrence Hill and the late novelist Karen Hill. His musical talent was apparent from a young age, and he received his first guitar shortly after his tenth birthday. While in high school, he was singing and performing at concerts and coffee houses. At one point Hill was working for the Ontario provincial government sorting mail and delivering supplies, while performing at the Riverboat at night. Before finishing high school, he recorded a demo tape with the assistance of his boyhood friend Matt McAuley, later a well-known composer and arranger. In 1972, he signed a contract with RCA, who released a single the following year but did little to advance his career.

Another one of his hit songs was “It’s a Long Road”, which he recorded for the 1982 action movie First Blood. In 1985, he was one of the many Canadian performers to appear on the benefit single “Tears Are Not Enough” by Northern Lights. Although he had many hits in his native Canada, further singles did not fare as well in the United States, where, after “Let the Song Last Forever” in late 1978, he went almost a decade without cracking any of Billboard’s singles charts.

In 1987, Hill returned to the Billboard Hot 100 with the Top 40 hit “Can’t We Try”, a duet with the then-unknown Vonda Shepard (her last name was incorrectly spelled “Sheppard” on the label). It peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100. He also had a near Top 40 hit with “Never Thought (That I Could Love)”. Both records reached No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and set the stage for Hill to have three more top 10 U.S. AC hits through to 1991’s “I Fall All Over Again”, though he did not make the Hot 100 again after “Never Thought”.
