Bruh...a lot of us were THERE when songs like this dropped. We didn't discover it...we listen to it on the regular. This is why there's so many older people who don't FUQ with today's music, and no offense meant to those who love it.

[@kennbicknell5492]

You got that right, man! '70s and '80s had so much talent and diversity in music. Popular music today is largely forgettable. And if that makes me old, so be it! 🤣

Hell, a lot of people were CONCEIVED because of this song! Seriously though, if he thought this was good, he's gonna need a cold shower and a cigarette after he hears One on One!, hell, he may just turn the song off half way through and take his girl to bed!

I was born in 1961 so as a black man experiencing music of the '60s, '70s and '80s first hand, we got seriously spoiled! But it's great to see the younger generation appreciating the great music of these artists! You're keeping their art alive!!

That's why I love it. Blonde hair but, green eyes , 😂 or you talking about Darryl?

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Soul transcends all categorizations, no doubt.

[@Frostrazor]

absolutely - i think it was one of my posts on one of his videos specifically that compared the soulfulness of this song to something of Al green.

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

@@Frostrazor - Being from the outskirts of Philly and even parts of South Jersey, you can't help but be exposed to Soul music. Whether or not you're influenced by it is another matter, but the, "Sound of Philadelphia," will forever be my favorite. Daryl Hall actually got a lot of work as a teen, playing sessions as a keyboardist/backup singer for Gamble & Huff; architects of the Sound of Philadelphia, and later Thom Bell.) Those producers were to Philly Soul what Barry Gordy was to Motown. I wasn't alive during the Civil Rights movement (I'm 46,) but up until then, Soul music was allegedly a VERY integrated sound...no difference between Black and White artists. With the Civil Rights uprise, Whites were pretty much uninvited...that's when Daryl Hall and John Oates become more Folk and Rock, but kept those soulful underpinnings. They refer to their music as Rock & Soul and Daryl detests the, "Blue-eyed Soul," label.

[@st0n3p0ny]

I was going to ask if this was a Righteous Brothers situation where nobody had any idea they were white.

I was gonna answer just like you did....and just decided to jump on your comment. That's it exactly - WE LIVED IT. We were there when these songs were new.

[@Frostrazor]

FACTS!!!! Yeah i was gonna say same. These songs didn't just fall out of they sky and I guarantee we weren't up late at night researching the internet for a song that was worthy of your channel. These played on our radio stations, they were part of the regular rotation. We bought records (you know - vinyl) or cassette tapes and listened over and over until it wore out and we had to buy another copy.

[@tskv]

And what a joy to see the younger folks discovering it.

Daryl Hall and Sara Allen although never married had a personal relationship that would end up lasting more than 30 years. Hall was inspired enough by his feelings for Allen that he wrote the highly personal song. "It was a song that came completely out of my heart. I’ve said this many times - it was a postcard. It’s short and sweet and to the point,” said Hall.

[@brynneholt1990]

That’s why that line, If you feel like leaving, you know you can go, but why don’t you stay until tomorrow, is so perfect. They never got married but stayed until tomorrow for 30 years!
