John Oates - Pushin’ A Rock (Official Music Video)

[@carlandrews6241]

I'm pushing this song on social media because it's easily in the top 10 I've ever heard and it's now my rallying cry as I'm fighting cancer. John Oates, thank you. This song deserves to top the charts.

[@darrylsanchez6199]

Carl I agree. I am also battling cancer.. God bless you brother. Don't give up. I am actually in remission with a diagnosis of stage four cancer. Keep the faith....

[@markragsac808]

Me too. Staying positive.

[@rickylane3155]

Good Bless

[@reg12269]

Had john released solo after man eater or big nan boom.. it would have been his own personal top 5

[@meceu2]

Don’t quit, I’m 11 years in remission from stage 4 breast cancer…gave me less than 23% chances.

[@LeadfootLou]

It's a shame this song didn't get more exposure. It's a catchy tune.

[@deebee76]

Classic John Oates soul. Could have easily come from any of the 70's H&O records.

[@darrylsanchez6199]

Carl I agree. I am also battling cancer.. God bless you brother. Don't give up. I am actually in remission with a diagnosis of stage four cancer. Keep the faith....

[@maryanngeyer5126]

It s a great song for pshy patients too

[@calvinndallas3289]

As a former homeless guy this song really connects. I still go back to the streets to see who I can help even though I'm still Pushing A Rock.

[@juanbautistarueda58]

Great musician, better human being

[@aletamarino6939]

What an incredibly beautiful and soulful song by John. I love it.

[@GheeGheePagan]

This song is my encouragement right now. My soul needed this song, I am battling so much. Sometimes we all want to give up.

[@OnDasherOnDancer]

I feel the same way. I just heard this today for the first time. Everything feels like pushing a rock!

[@williamshaw6438]

Wanba talk i have big ear🤗

[@GheeGheePagan]

@@williamshaw6438 Thank You.

[@petewoodroffemusic]

Never give up, never give in! Summer is just around the corner. Smile and cease the moment x

[@aliblanco6107]

Keep the faith my friend. Remember there is a God.

[@slydiamond1009]

Stunning John! Your range from bass into falsetto shows what a truly, gifted singer and musician you are. Love the disco ball nod to your rock and roll roots! Well done.

[@markcrews8255]

Me and my friend have been digging into the Hall and Oates libraries, and its amazing how much great music there is, even the ones that aren't massive hits. The vocals on this are incredible, you are a truly talented musician Mr. Oates, I wish more singers today had the heart, soul, and musical knowledge to produce art like this!

[@dmkendrick4630]

..... especially the ones that weren't massive hits.

[@mcculljo]

Been along for the ride since ‘79. So happy to see John still creating and performing!

[@AUGUSTALLEN28]

John returning to his soulful roots., That soul never left.

[@reg12269]

His pop roots

[@ravenfeather1467]

Incredible vocals, amazing groove, made me cry! Great message from a wonderful musician with a beautiful heart.

[@cesarbazo2806]

🎉 It made cry to … tears of happiness…

[@UnionThugg]

These new songs really illustrate what an incredible talent John is. Most people don't realize that the majority of Hall and Oates' biggest hits (You Make My Dreams, Maneater, Out of Touch, Do It For Love) were written by John, and most of the rest were co-written by John.

[@GailGoucher]

Great song and you have an amazing voice.

[@MaryGeyer-ph9gf]

I’m not fighting cancer but I’m fighting depression anxiety plus seizure .I agree this is a rallying song I play at least 1 time a day thank you John!

[@lilliandonaldson8121]

Soulful and smooth. Deep and inspirational.

[@LuizSPK]

it's absolutelly stunning. What a refreshing song in so generic and pasteurized times.

[@jessebishop5239]

Awesome song! Cool video! Thanks for the new music John. I hope there is more to come!🤟

[@katietothemax]

I love the message behind this song! ❤

[@dougmiller7643]

Katie, you said it all girl.

[@rosemarysanchez992]

Absolutely amazing vocals still all these years later! You still got it! I may not have been able to experience you in your younger years but I’m glad my younger generation can still enjoy and listen to classic musical icons today! Just attended your concert in CT the other week as well and it was such a blessing and experience to have a tiny piece of the 80s by you and Daryl! A dream come true for a millennial like me.

[@kellymcginley6345]

John Oates, I want you to know. I'm 62 years old and I have always thought that you were amazand funny. And I don't know what's going on between the 2 of you. But he's full of himself and he doesn't need the money. And he just lost a lot of my respect. He was my one of my favorite artists. And i'm gonna buy everything and anything that you sell you just rock on buddy

[@fdellarosa]

From The girl who used to be to this tune, John is a melody master

[@伊藤温子-q8u]

応援しています。

[@stratisfied678]

Pure Philly soul. All of a sudden it's 1974 again, and I love it. Thank you JO!

[@4bawbees]

You've still got it, John! You've always been a class act. Quality soundtrack to my life, consistently, since '73.

[@CrimsonBaby2007]

This revision of "Pushing A Rock Uphill" is amazing! I adore it! John has another hit on his hands!💖🥰

[@ermindacelebrates]

Damn John!! This is so beautiful and wow!! Those vocals!!! Bravo. 🎉

[@cindy10858]

still as soulful a ever. That voice aged like fine wine.

[@劉櫻-g9f]

I can listen All day again and again 💞 Amazing 👍👍👍

[@christopherramon-reid2000]

John, I"ve always thought your vocals were terrific. "Possession Obsession" is an all time fave of mine and I think this song is just as great!

[@NoCanDu]

Yes! Go, Johnny O! 😊

[@karengell9480]

The most expensive back-up singer is such an amazing singer on his own! Loving the Philly Soul vibe. Well done John. Well done!

[@reg12269]

Y he was so expensive.. had so much talent.. like Scottie pippen, could have been an all time top tenner but sacrificed for the greater good of hall and Oates.. now we get to give him his flowers.. will never play hall and Oates hits again without incl this all time gem..

[@rhondaheyder2587]

Amazing song and vocals ~ you still have got it, John all of these years later! 👏🎤🎸🎶😍🇨🇦

[@marilyn5925]

I'm rolling with it🎶🎶 You're such amazing singer songwriter! This song should be and is making people click replay and do a double take. Really really good John🥰💙

[@1katsan2]

This is Beautiful in every way🎶💖🙏

[@donkjr]

This song is definitely a new favorite! I love it!

[@anndietrich4875]

Love this and your vocals. Love the meaning behind the lyrics and resonates your roots, the Philly sound. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent!

[@brigettelopez9836]

He’s my prize! He’s what makes me tuff and strong!❤😊 Always Brave ! EVEN When WEAK ! 😅 YOU GOT THIS!!!143

[@williamcochell9889]

Wow! absolutely unbelievable amazing! 74 years old and can still sing like that! both Daryl Hall and John Oates are the most gifted artists of all time! check in on Daryls house even then when that series was made Daryl was up there and OMG what a voice! check him out when Smokey Robinson visited!

[@kongzillakamikaze3475]

Soulful like an evening cruise .....

[@michaelbiggs7861]

I hear bits of Possession Obsession in this, it's great seeing one half of Hall & Oates still making quality music.

[@lindapape2012]

What a voice! Love the vibe!

[@stevedudley831]

Just love how John's voice has just got better as he ages. Lyrically, musically this is one of his best. Love it.

[@carlabeckham8703]

Beautiful, wonderful song!!! ❤❤❤

[@jerrytoombs5353]

Oatesy has some really nice solo stuff. It's nice to see him stretch his wings and show the artist he always was.

[@cristelspickermann4436]

Wonderful Soul Music ❤❤❤❤

[@joanwicks8234]

Beautiful song!

[@steveharry9045]

I always enjoy what you share on here but I never got the chance to say Hello 👋

[@michelleluter4924]

Everytime I listen to this song I know just what he mean the way you thinks 1:45 in the morning I can't sleep but I want to hear that song and see him sing prayerfully I'll be able to get some rest I love you and God bless you

[@brigittepreuss5158]

What a remarkable Song from you John Oates 😍 i wish you will play this great Song in your Concerts in Germany 🇩🇪🥰.i bought my Ticket for you and Beth Hart in Hamburg in Germany 🇩🇪🥰 November 18 in a few Days 2022 💖

[@randeemack-casanova5175]

Great song, great vocals!

[@maryanngeyer5126]

I’m suffering with bad depression now this makes me fight !

[@beeeff9254]

What a great voice. He and Daryl complimented each other so well.

[@sgomes633]

John Oates always had a more soulful voice. Back in Hall&Oates, I was wondering why John Oates never put out solo albums.

[@leroywatermelon4025]

That was during the early MTV days and John isn't a beauty queen.

[@dmkendrick4630]

Just because he wasn't blonde and blue-eyed doesn't mean he wasn't good-looking. He had a lot of non-musical interests and didn't get the fire lit under him until certain deaths motivated him.@@leroywatermelon4025

[@maryanngeyer5126]

This is a great song if you’re suffering with mental illness.

[@csdad19]

Congrats, John, this is wonderful❣️

[@Shanna-s7v]

We're all more alike than different. Rich/poor, black/white, homeless/homeowner, young/old, etc....I promise you that we all have the same basic ingredients that make us human.

[@thomaswilson7655]

I've been a fan for over 50 years. At this stage of life, I'm more interested in John's solo work. I'm 62 y.o. and completely relate. We're all struggling at one time 🕐 or another. You're never going to be free of obstacles in this life. There's a great takeaway here.

[@marilyn5925]

Yes! Ready and waiting 🎶💙🎶

[@johnbrennan4193]

Really nice...So different from your original version on Good Road to Follow album...I wish you and Daryl each added 2 solo songs to future H&O tours

[@eziotaddeo1726]

oh what feeling, go john, tremendous song

[@DK-ls2hf]

Wow, this caught me off guard but it really shouldn’t have because this man’s soulful voice has always been there. Wonderfully truthful music.

[@michelleluter4924]

Lord have mercy the way you sing this song I'll just want to say thank you thank you thank you I've been waiting a long time to hear you

[@markragsac808]

I feel like Sisyphus some days. I'll keep pushin'. Thanks John.

[@JC-pn5op]

I cried immediately when the song starts . Love this song 😭

[@najahcarter2653]

The is it so soulful! Love it

🤩

[@roseheath4716]

I Love this song. Gives me some inspiration to keep going and don't give up

[@roseheath4716]

I'm sure that many women will agree with how we can all relate

[@saladincrawford8391]

It's so sad how music industry discriminates against people over 50. This song is not getting enough streams or airplay.

[@roseheath4716]

Today of all day Today I need all your somg more Today

[@cesarbazo2806]

Wow! This has brought tears of happiness to my eyes… It’s purely 80’s sound with a powerful message… I just can’t stop listening to it.

[@garyeskow9695]

Nice job, John.

[@lilawells4722]

Beautiful

[@vickish6031]

I don't understand why John didn't sing lead on H & O songs. If he did it wasn't much. He has a very good voice!!!!!!

[@Behavioralpathy]

"Hard work, means something...". Well done very Enlightened music!

[@rickylane3155]

Damn this is good!John showing his Vocals off.

[@privateeyesatributetodaryl5990]

Well done! Great lyrics too. Thanks for the new music.

[@lilamuzik3385]

So hard to roll back with it when it goes back down, but gotta keep pushing that rock. Such a great metaphor.

[@maryanngeyer5126]

I'm standing tough all the time

[@vpwb]

Great song!

[@judereierson8519]

I love this song and I love this video. What a great message John, we all need to remember it.

[@TheSoundOutside]

Great song, but a nice lead guitar solo would have taken it to another level.

[@mufinski]

My theme song these days with limited mobility due to an injury. Thank you for this song.

[@MaryGeyer-ph9gf]

This song is just so fabulous I have to play it at least once a day
