Mr Jame, Thank You Thank You for reacting for Todd Rungren. He wrote a song called Love is the Answer. It's fitting for the time we are in. Todd is a brilliant producer. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️

[@Doggeslife]

My favorite track from that "Daryl's House at Todd's Hawaii House" episode is..... "Beanie G. and the Rose Tattoo": kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6SVmKRsrJmLeq8

[@jamesreding6336]

That was fast great keep them coming you will be in your 80s when you're almost done yes thay are in Hawaii lv been there twice once on my honeymoon and one with family and friends

[@davidyerkey7425]

The whole show was GREAT! If you get a chance watch it... they smoke a whole pig underground... looked AWESOME!

[@balatroaprilis7265]

Todd had a prog-rock band, Utopia. In 1977, Daryl recorded a solo album that was so different from Hall and Oates that RCA refused to release it for three years. He got prog-rocker Robert Fripp of King Crimson to produce it (and also play guitar and co-write some material), Here is one song - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6GviaqrpZmVpqM and here is the Live From Daryl's House version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYG0dHWId6t2rsU

The harmonies are off the chain great and this is live. Unbelievable.

I believe this was Todd's introduction to the pop scene in 72,and he hit it out of park.try recording studio original version.much more beautiful. 😊.

Yes to all of that

[@yolandajohnson8685]

Such an excellent song to listen to. I still have this song and Todd's other smash hit Hello It's Me 45's Todd Rundgren grew up in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

[@vitis65]

Wife and I were in Dublin Ireland a few years back taking a tour of the cellar crypt of a 1,000 year old church. The guide wanted to know where everybody was from. When we said Philly area he blurted out "Upper Darby!..Todd Rundgren!"

Love is the Answer is another gem by Todd Rundgen. Genius stuff.

[@kindoe66]

England Dan and John Ford Coley do a song called Love Is The Answer too. I have not heard Todd sing it,may need to give it a listen.

[@DobroFan100]

And don't forget 'Hello, It's Me.'

Todd has a cult following that yells “ Todd is G-d” during his concerts so he put it to good use and wrote a song about it using the last command in the New Testament

[@gregvonhoene2745]

I love that you have found Daryl's House. SO great. SO much fun. The entire episodes are great and I hope you get a chance to watch the entire episode(s). Great musicians. Great Music. Lots of great stories and food.. they like to cook and eat and jam.

[@chelebelle2223]

MAN!!! This is the Best rendition of this song that I've _NEVER_ heard before! I really dig the matured development of his vocal style and the back up singing in THIS ONE!

[@scottboswell6406]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH! This is one of my favorite moments from Darryl's House! As for hooking up with Todd Rundgren, they go back to the 70's as friends and working together!

[@joanlajara3939]

That whole episode of Daryl’s house great stuff!! Chills! Great voices!! Awesome guys!!❤️❤️❤️

[@tjtampa214]

I love Daryl too! 💜🧡🍂 Love all the behind-the-scenes conversations and all the jam sessions. Also if you watch the whole show for these different people they have a cooking segment as well. They start the cooking in the middle of the show at a break and then they end the show eating dinner together and talking about things. One of the best things ever for your viewing and listening entertainment. Thanks Jamel for sharing this with everyone. Have a great evening.

Daryl and Todd have been friends since they were on their 20s. Made album together. Please Jamal, even if you only do it for yourself, watch them at the Hawaii venue sing "It wouldn't have made any difference" a absolutely wonderful song you will Love ! I promise you that!

[@MrTCHOSS]

The talent in this band and the audio engineering to pull off this song so perfectly 10s all the way accross

[@susiebrown6326]

Love this version 😍

[@zpangle]

Been waiting for you to hear this. The Todd sessions were what got me into Daryls house. It was like 30 years since I heard Todd sing, but that voice. There's an interview that goes along with this where Todd and Daryl talk about their friendship growing up in the same neighborhood.

[@jackhargrove4275]

💞Wonderful Artist 💖💯. Beautiful scenery at Todd's Home. ✨🙏✨

[@angielofton6372]

Both Todd and Hall and Iates are from Philadelphia. They go way back together. Thank you for this. I live you because you bring back gems from my youth I had forgotten about. Then I play them again after your reactions. It's a blessing to be able to reconnect with the joy I found in music.

[@MelBroussard]

Daryl and Todd both grew up in Philadelphia, PA and were contemporaries in the Philly R&B scene in their younger years. Daryl's house went "on the road" for that show to Todd's house in Kaui. Thanks for reviewing. Todd is truly a genius and often does not get the respect he deserves. Daryl is wonderful also.

[@joycewalbert1413]

Great FIND! Excellent comments!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[@cajuncooper8903]

J, I’m so glad you watched and enJOYed both versions! Todd is not only talented, he is literally brilliant!! Our Todd created the first color graphics tablet in 1980. It was licensed to Apple Computers and was released as “The Utopia Tablet.” You know how a stylus can draw in color on an electronic tablet? Thank. You. Todd.

[@mikeloomis687]

Todd's "spread" on Kauai. Todd was a very successful musician and producer. He earned it.

This was filmed at Todd's house in Hawaii. This whole episode is fantastic. They even have a kind of luau/pig roast at the end.

So glad you have finally joined the party. You have listened to SO much of the music that he's produced, (Hall & Oates, Meatloaf, Grand Funk, Bad Finger, I could go on), so delighted that you are FINALLY listening to the man himself. YAY! His catalogue is so vast, I really don't know where to tell you to go next but his best known songs are "Hello It's Me" and "Bang On The Drum"...Enjoy!

[@megswedeb7234]

Todd quoting from Wiki " is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has performed a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of the band Utopia. He is known for his sophisticated and often unorthodox music, his occasionally lavish stage shows, and his later experiments with interactive entertainment. He also produced music videos and was an early adopter and promoter of various computer technologies, such as using the Internet as a means of music distribution in the late 1990s.[1" I've seen him in concert multiple times. He can pretty much play any instrument (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums, etc). This is his most famous song for sure, but it's the tip of the iceberg. He's amazing. He's now 72 years old. Love him.

[@davespear6662]

Daryl Hall's voice at his age if fricking amazing!!!

[@debbieomi]

I recently heard Todd's version of "Muskrat Love" that he performed live. It's an absolute must listen to for any Todd fan.

[@kevinhuether9038]

Such a strong ray of positivity from you Jamal. I am happy I found your site. You bring joy. Thank you.

Great choice, Jamel! This is a real gem. These players & singers just do it. Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffreynolin9339]

Todd’s an incredible vocalist, but, boy oh boy, Daryl’s really showing him up in this song. However, Todd’s lyrics always shine!

[@garybrumley3519]

Todd’s voice is so much different than then. Of course, most of ours are probably different that 30+ years ago.

[@hammerpocket]

I think Todd got sick of singing these early songs in about 1975.

Check out “Wait for Me” that Todd did at Daryl’s House

[@-davidolivares]

[@lesliebeacom4567]

That one gets me every time!!

[@deboramartinez2018]

I just watched 4 or 5 of your reactions. I enjoyed it a lot. Todd Rundgren has a huge following. Some of us have liked him since Nazz and the Song "We gotta get you a Woman". He is most famous as a producer. It is interesting having grown up with things you are finding. Late 60'sand early 70's lots of deep meanings. Some people create light with their music.

[@smittycal]

1970s at college, kept the record store in business. mama told me if I ran out of money for food I’d have to eat my records. But she always had music on, grateful! She let me take her big console stereo to my dorm. I put this album on & had girls run to my room asking who was singing. Son has made me swear to never get rid of my albums. Don’t worry, Love! Music is life! Miss her so.
