I was playing this CD and this song in my car years ago and pulled into a parking space to go grocery shopping. This song was playing when a young dude in the car parked next to me rolled down his window and asked me who was singing? I told him it was Hall and Oates and he said I need to buy it today...... He didn’t have to buy it because I gave it to him. He said thank you Ma’am! I told him, you’re welcome and I’m sure you’ll play it over and over. That made me very happy that day because I knew he would become a fan of Hall and Oates greatness!
Oh heck yeah! Well played. That dude will never forget that moment. I’ve done the same thing myself (from both ends) and there is nothing better than finding new music!
Recording technology was so different then, you had to be a good musician. You couldn't just punch in and correct mistakes. All the Motown hits were recorded on FOUR tracks with a series of mixers. improvements in technology allowed for lesser musicians to start recording. Then the video age came and what sold records was how people looked over how they sounded.
So, in the past 10 years or so, Darryl Hall did a series called "Live At Darryl's House" where he has a group of the best musicians he can find, and every episode he invites some other musician to sit in and jam for a day. The series is straight FIRE. You can pick any song from any episode and it's AMAZING. If you want to hear more from Darryl Hall, you really should check it out.
yeah i love darryl's house too but i don't think that there are new episodes - most of them seem to be 2013 - thru 2016. saw zz top's billy gibbons the other nite. he's still great
@@thedocofrock1890 I heard that there are new episodes but can't find them. I was a big fan of his show. Once he left the house it seemed to power down. Excellent house band! That guitarist who came up from NO and took over as musical director: 5*
@@palacerevolution2000 got my dvr recording the whole series so i am looking for newer episodes.saw hall and oates in '82 at a rundown little bar in the western mass. tobacco fields. one of the best live shows i've seen.
When I was little I hated that song. Now that I'm grown, I appreciate it. My friends think of me when they hear it and it's just kinda nice to know I randomly pop in to someones head... unless they don't like me ..lol.. ☺☺😁
One of the best songs I've ever heard.Not just one of the best Hall and Oates songs,but one of the best songs ever.The singing, the lyrics, the musical arrangements, the production. Amazing.
You’re eventually going to have to take a trip to Daryl’s House. Where Daryl Hall collaborates w/other well known artist & talents, in a good old fashion jam session. With unbelievably gifted musician.
J, You'll love their "I Can't Go For That", "Kiss On My List" and "You Make My Dreams Come True". The last one has a great pace for a bike or stepper workout!
Sara Smile next Please! My favorite from them! All of their songs are great!♥️ In fact their song I Cant Go For That, Rich Girl, You Make My Dreams Come True and many more!
They are so versatile. Their influences are rooted mostly in OG Philly Soul, but that's not the "lane" they're stuck in. For more of their "Philly" sound, "Sara Smile", "One On One"; for more of the pop-dominant, "Maneater"-style grooves, you want songs like "Out Of Touch", "You Make My Dreams", "Kiss On My List", "Private Eyes, "Family Man", "Did It In A Minute'...this is a rabbit hole that it's truly a pleasure to fall into.
Yep. I also like Say It Isn't So and Did It In A Minute. Those are two great songs that still sound excellent today. Hall & Oates also wrote Everytime You Go Away (and Paul Young recorded a version of it that became a huge hit). The original Hall & Oates version of it is fantastic, though.
Glad you did there early stuff. These guys were bad ass back in the day. I could tell by your reaction. So much good music back then. 👍🎧🎤🎙 Bye the way, you have to look up Daryl's House. He got together with different artist and basically jammed to some great music!! Sara Smile should be next!
you got to hear sara smile i grew up to songs like this on the radio and we think our gen made some of the best music. i am glad to see you guys starting to enjoy it
My first Hall and Oates was their ( which I had on cassette so long, the label was falling off!) Along the red ledge! Spent my allowance on that cassette, never regretted the purchase - been a huge fan ever since!!!
DEFINITELY!!! This is the ONE! @James- you asked about them doing independent stuff. Darryl Hall’s show “Darryl’s House” is awesome. Check out “I Can’t Go For That” with Cee Lo Green here: th-cam.com/video/GoXxdObGKuI/w-d-xo.html
These guys just don't lose. 💜💜💜💜 Decades of hits. Choose anything. If you actually find one that is so-so to you, skip it, move on bc there is decades of hits. Best selling duo of all time. Soul brothers. Love these guys! Great reaction. 😉👍
It's always so wonderful to see young people react to music from a different time. I loved this song. There's so much good music that's just been forgotten. Thanks for keeping it alive.
I've been listening to this music for many years definitely need to take a listen to Sara Smile also I Can't Go For That keep up the good work l enjoy your show😊
This is my favorite of theirs, I have loved them since they 1st started. When I saw them in concert last year they still have the same saxophone player.
I’m a lifelong fan of Hall and Oates. Seen them 3 times in concert!! So happy you’ve discovered them!! Their songs are all so different, but the “Blue-Eyed Soul” ones are the best..like this one. If you get a chance, listen to their (the original) version of “Every Time You Go Away.” Paul Young had a hit with it, but he doesn’t even come close to their version. ❤️💋

@DaisyAnnabelle65 : A magnanimous gesture, for sure.
The most successful duo in Rock history actually. Great songs and better reaction
I love watching young people hearing real music. Just voices and instruments
Yeah, we didn’t know what we had 40 years ago on our radio.
Exactly!
The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were a veritable cornucopia of musical styles and genres! Such a wonderful time.
I knew!!! Saw them live in a small venue, right after Abandoned Luncheonette was released (I think that was the time period). Simply amazing!

That's such a good point. I liked Hall & Oates (for example) in those days but did not realize how all-time brilliant they were.
So RIGHT👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 We sure didn't!😃

Check Out their Song: Rich Girl
You've gone too far.
You know it don’t matter anyway.
That whole album that features Rich Girl is a masterpiece..
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer - Lol
" Sarah Smile" ( another great song from Hall & Oates)
Their best.
I
Named my daughter after Sara Smile .
When I was little I hated that song. Now that I'm grown, I appreciate it. My friends think of me when they hear it and it's just kinda nice to know I randomly pop in to someones head... unless they don't like me ..lol.. ☺☺😁
Ain't got the words every time I hear this song..They are so great aren't they?👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🎶🎶🎶
Like everyone is suggesting, "Sara's Smile"
A small suggestion, react to this with your wife. She's gonna dig it.
YES ABSOLUTELY THEIR BEST SONG!
*Sara smile
Say it isn't so Hall and Oates!
Beautiful blue eyed soul. Great song.
Next recommended Hall & Oates song: “Sara Smile”
He will love this for damn sure ! All time banger ! Soul for real
Whole heartedly seconded. Watching your musical journey is so dope, Rome.
One of the most meticulously arranged pop songs ever. Three key changes at the bridge. And the vocals are some of the best I’ve ever heard.
My favorite song of all time ❤ The lyrics, instrumentals, vocals, the whole composition is perfect in every way.
This is the GREATEST H&O song ever.. My favorite thank you so much!! I grew up on this music and I love seeing your reactions.
Yayyy!! OK here you go ... I Can't Go For That, One On One, Out Of Touch, Private Eyes, Rich Girl.....
It does my heart great to see that people can enjoy music like this from MY youth - BRAVO!
One of the best songs I've ever heard.Not just one of the best Hall and Oates songs,but one of the best songs ever.The singing, the lyrics, the musical arrangements, the production. Amazing.
These guys owned the 80’s and early 90’s.
Add my vote for Sara Smile. They’ve got R&B roots and a deep catalog of great songs.
Sara smile is another bluesy smooth jam!
And THIS RIGHT HERE was considered 'pop' music. That's how good the 70's were that the popular top 40 were BANGERS like this!
The LEGENDARY Iconic Hall and Oates ❤❤❤❤
The blue eyed soul will get us every time, try Sara Smile next....🙏🔥
There's no "blue-eyed soul." There's just soul music.
@@lipby very true
That’s blue eyed soul right there.
Do "Sara Smile"! 😍 Great reaction!!
They’re just amazing artists
Another one they did that has a different sound is "Rich Girl."
I have to agree. "Sara Smile" is their best song. Beautiful and full of soul.
You’re eventually going to have to take a trip to Daryl’s House. Where Daryl Hall collaborates w/other well known artist & talents, in a good old fashion jam session. With unbelievably gifted musician.
Hall & Oates…The Goats! ❤️🔥
J, You'll love their "I Can't Go For That", "Kiss On My List" and "You Make My Dreams Come True". The last one has a great pace for a bike or stepper workout!
"I cant go for that" Apparently Michael Jackson asked if he could use a similar intro for one of his songs. That song was Billy Jean.
If it's the 80's songs, "Out of Touch" is a great one too.
Blue-eyed soul at its finest!
Sara smile by them is going to break your heart. Your reaction to she's gone was priceless. Loved it.
The music of the 70's and 80's will Never come again..Pure gold and I miss the hell out of it!!
That is a master class in storytelling of love, pain etc. etc.
Blue-eyed soul strikes again!
I bought this on a 45 when I was 12!
Best selling duo of all time
This song has so much emotion to it...you feel that pain of a love lost!
Dude, like I watched this Like five times, hands down best reaction ever
Geez....I forgot how amazing they were in the 1970s!
WOW!
Sarah Smile will put a smile on your face. Great under appreciated band that was decades ahead of their time
Oh jeez this takes me back to some of the best times of my life!!!!! ❤️
From them i would suggest :
You Make My Dreams Come True
I Cant Go For That
and
Sarah Smile
Private Eyes
Kiss on my list
And the first two songs in Eduardo's list are part of their Rock and Roll HOF set! :)
we had the best damn music. amazing talents.
Yah! Already know! This the blued eyed soul Philly Boy's!. This is 70s & 80s music at it's best! 👍❤
They are FANTASTIC...PERIOD!!!! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 next up Sara Smile!
Sara Smile my absolute FAVORITE!
Sara Smile is a must! Best soulful song from them!
Hall and Oates is the most commercially successful duet in pop music history.
So many great songs
Maybe the best example of how those two voices worked together. Seamless transitions!
Great music from my day
Daryl Hall & John Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
Hall & Oates are the Best Selling Male Duet in history..... for good reason
Philadelphia just had a unique sound that artists from this time captured. Even Elton John referenced it.
I'm 75 years old and still remember the first time I heard this gem.
You like this try boz scaggs “ low down” album or video version....

Sara smile by hall and oates is my favorite! Give it a listen you won't be disappointed!
Back in the 80’s they were one of my favorite groups. I have seen them about 8-10 times in concert. Never missed them when they came around!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God! I had forgotten how good this song is -- and the chorus is just amazing -- I think it makes the song.
Check out "I Can't Go For That" Live at Darryl's House, ft. CeeLo Green. The groove is ridiculous!
The extended jam at the end is so good.
Awesome
Best song by them,hands down.
Sara Smile and Out of Touch are a couple of my favorites of theirs. Such a great group.
Hall and Oates - "Sarah Smile " 👍💖
SIMPLY,
THE BEST DUO IN MUSIC HISTORY,
AMAZING GUYS 🔝💯🔝
Sweet Philly Soul ❤❤
Check out the band - Bread - everything I own, If, Diary, Audbry, Make it with you, guitar man........all amazing
My favorites by them that I'd love to see: Sweet Surrender and It Don't Matter to Me
I love Bread!!😊
ROCK N SOUL GODS!
Sara Smile next Please! My favorite from them! All of their songs are great!♥️ In fact their song I Cant Go For That, Rich Girl, You Make My Dreams Come True and many more!

Daryl had just got divorced and John got stood up by his new years eve date so they wrote this song.
Philly soul.... ✌🏻😎 Daryl Hall is a National Treasure....
This is their best song. No doubt about it
That song is so well written and produced and obviously performed it is crazy
"Possession Obsession" ..... one of my Hall and Oats favorites!
Yep. I also like Say It Isn't So and Did It In A Minute. Those are two great songs that still sound excellent today. Hall & Oates also wrote Everytime You Go Away (and Paul Young recorded a version of it that became a huge hit). The original Hall & Oates version of it is fantastic, though.
🌟 Blue-Eyed Philly Soul. .💥🔥🔥

Rome!! Listen to Daryl Hall and Cee Lo Green do, "I can't go for that". They jam it at Daryl's house and it's super funky!
Blue-eyed soul rocked in the 80s! Like most everyone else says, try "Sarah Smile" - you haven't lived until you've heard it. Soooo soulful!
This song is 9 years before Maneater. Originally recorded in '73 not famous until '76, then in '82 Maneater came around.
I'm head over heels for Daryl Hall. Didn't know about his show and now I can't find enough of him singing.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaas! I was waiting for him to listen to this!
Props for the spot on reaction and analysis of this work of art from Philly soul.
The best of of “Philly Blue-eyed Soul”
I remember my dad turned me onto this band. He came home with a record album to put on his turntable. I’ve been hooked ever since.
My first Hall and Oates was their ( which I had on cassette so long, the label was falling off!) Along the red ledge! Spent my allowance on that cassette, never regretted the purchase - been a huge fan ever since!!!

Reminds me of "Baby Come Back" by Player.......Hall and Oates got me through a few boyfriends...lol. 🎵🎼🎶💜
Yeahhhh... you're in for a ride baby!! Thumbs up to every suggestion.

"One on One", "I Can't Go For That", "Sara Smile".
They're Philly boys, raised on that sweet Philly sound.
This is a 70's All-time Classic ! I saw them in '78, & they did this ---------gorgeous !
