Hall & Oates are genius. These guys made hit after hit. "Rich Girl" is my favorite.

[@arthurshelley9850]

Something from Daryl's House

[@karensilvera6694]

Rich Girl is great and the rhythm is faster. Jordan would probably like it more. Live from Daryl's House is a great show. He has different singers from the past and present on and they jam songs from the guest and Daryl. They also talk about their lives and why they wrote certain songs. It's fun I don't know where it's in but you can find some episodes on KZbin.

[@throwabrick]

Rich Girl is a perfect song to play at a wedding. So cheeky.

Daryl Hall grew up in my hometown and as a teenager, I used to wait on his Dad, who would come in and always play his son's songs on the jukebox. He was so proud. A wonderful memory.

[@davidpost428]

Karen, you absolutely need to hear Daryl's song "Perkiomen" that he plays from Daryl's House with guest Fritz and the Tantrums. As teenagers, he would walk across the Perkiomen bridge to go to John Oates's house. My ancestors were early farming settlers in the area on the banks of the Perkiomen.

I think that there’s been a loss of the ability to appreciate musical progression within a given work as opposed to just being immediately hit with the hook, and I think that that has had cumulatively detrimental effect on people’s ability to appreciate works of music as an art the goes beyond immediate gratification. Like the current ear of pop music feels like what if people could only see pointillist paintings from half an inch away.

I was a huge ELO fan in the early '70s and took in a concert in Louisville, KY. Hall & Oates opened for them and, holy cow, what a dynamic stage presence they had!

Love Hall and Oats, but can't imagine anyone putting ELO to shame. But you saw them very early on in their career, so maybe they hadn't developed their live show very much yet.

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Typical 70s pop

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Try Sarah Smile……like the people in this comments section suggest.

[@gabrielcarreon7720]

Yes! ‘KISS Is On My List’...really catchy.

[@tud1366]

Hall & Oats considered "Blue Eyed Soul". This is one of their hits from the 70's. They were HUGE in the 80's, but the music became more pop than soul. Daryl Hall, the tall blond does most of the singing, and plays the keyboards. John Oats' mustache use to have it's own cartoon, VERY famous.

[@wjameswright]

This song built slowly until you reach the second half and they soar. The storytelling thru music is amazing

[@nancymjohnson]

I’m a hard rocker too, but LOVE Hall and Oates. They’ve done many great songs…I Can’t Go For That is excellent

[@wendyeverett4768]

The anticipation they build during the first half makes the second half of the song so satisfying! I couldn’t wait for Daryl to bust out those vocals to see your reaction. They’re still amazing to see in concert.

[@jahrolo]

The most successfull duo in music history! You should check out the "Live from Daryls house" series - Daryl Hall gathers other musicians at his house and they jam :) I´d suggest "I can´t go for that" with Cee Lo Green, "Sara Smile" with Jimmy Wayne, "Heard it through the grapevine" with Rob Thomas and finally the original of "Out of touch" - it´s my favorite song from H&A :) It´s a dream of mine to see them live... Sadly I guess it will never happen :( Edit "Rich girl" is, technically speaking, the PERFECT pop song :)

[@nk1974]

Yes!

[@mjpnews1310]

Here's a link to Daryl's House episodes ✌♥️

[@chriso6719]

My 2 favorite episodes of Daryl's House are the ones with Tommy Shaw of Styx, and Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls.

[@bambamnj]

I came down here to post this same point about them being the most successful duo in music history, but saw you had already posted it so you get another thumbs up. Hall and Oats were also part of the "We Are The World" project although only Daryl got a solo, John Oats got a great shot in the video as they are panning the Choir.

[@redchick5278]

Out Of Touch is one of my favorites!! The version Hall did with Chris Daughtry from Darryl’s house is incredible!

[@territimmerman140]

They really rose to fame with the album Abandoned Lunchenette. All of the songs were amazing.

[@Dollywood623]

Darryl Hall was the blonde guy, lead singer and John Hall with the dark hair. They were very popular and part of the era of Madonna, George Michael, Prince, Whitney Houston, etc and were in the Quincy Jones “We are the World” video along with all other great artists.

[@hankstuddard23]

This is also one of their earliest songs, from that magical pre-disco R&B era of the early 70s. A true classic.

[@DianaJG8]

"You Make My Dreams Come True" is REALLY good. The rhythm on it is very unique!! 🔥

[@garymccool9985]

The epitome of blue-eyed soul these guys top of the Hill

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Love some Hall & Oats.. “One on One” is a favorite of mine, but honestly “Sara Smile” is an absolute MUST for a react! 😉

[@maelilmc4079]

One on One is on my top 10 list. Hall’s vocals are sublime.

[@davidphillips4476]

They are strangely one of those groups that grow on you the more you listen. "Maneater", and "Out of Touch" (their last #1) are 2 of my favs. Love this channel and it's peeps.

[@mikeat2637]

To me, some of their lesser known songs match anything else they have done, Adult Education, Family Man, So Close and Wait For Me.

[@davidphillips4476]

@@mikeat2637 Agreed.

[@peezdoc]

@@mikeat2637 yes! Family Man!!! Also like Everytime you Go Away(the original version)

[@bernardcrowley1816]

2 of their worst songs

[@peezdoc]

@@bernardcrowley1816 I don't think you can say "their worst..." for any Hall and Oates songs. Maybe "less popular" or for the haters "it's so popular I have to hate it". Too many great songs too much talent for them to have a "their worst song"

[@mickiea6598]

Such a vibe on this one. I love them so much. I was a teen in the 80s and they are a big part of my history!

[@branon6565]

Darryl Hall & John Oates, both from west Philly, both exceptional musicians....

[@lepoetress]

This is blue eyed soul and is a different version of the song that I'm used to, but it's STILL 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and after all these years, it STILL goes hard!!!

[@susanstein6604]

The song starts slow because there’s a build up to the second half. The second half wouldn’t exist without the first half slow build up. Whether you felt it or not, it’s a masterpiece.

[@thomasbeauchemin1298]

Bravo!! Exactly!!!

[@richardcogbill6791]

Thank you ! I didn't see your post before so posted mine above. I felt I had to school these young people about tension, feeling and build up in this song. Many young music fans don't really listen to the lyrics to songs these days. So much of today's music lacks lyrical content and quality. So many don't really listen. If they really listened to this song like Jayvee really listens to the music he reacts to, they would better understand and appreciate how the music is crafted as a whole .

[@Curtis69213]

Yea, they brand new.

[@kestrelle5345]

There was a time, and this time went on for years, where you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Hall and Oates number 1 banger.

[@TBoNAtl]

Good times!

[@kennethlatham3133]

Of course, a few years later, somewhat overlapping, the same could be said for Phil Collins.

[@garyburke3935]

Hall & Oates are the most successful pop duo of ALL TIMES. They were inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, with number one hits in the 80s like Maneater, I Can’t Go For That, You Make My Dreams. I was listening to your reaction early in the song and wondered how this brother didn’t feel the song, but you came around and y’all made me smile at the end!😊

[@jimburow706]

One of my all time favorites. Great r&b sound, Daryl Hall’s voice is top tier

[@elizabethfranco1284]

One of the best duos ever Daryl Hall and John Oates amazing

[@surlechapeau]

J&A, you'll love their "You Make My Dreams Come True", "Kiss On My List" and "Rich Girl". Daryl has one of the great rock/pop voices. He's got that Philly soul.

[@shawnsnow2655]

You make my dreams is such a head boppin song! Love it!

[@joshuabradshaw9120]

Hall and Oates are outstanding! Always loved their songs.

[@vikimseruh4500]

I saw these guys in the 70's. Was one of the best concerts I have seen. They have so many songs that will make you love them. They are one of the best groups in the 70's and early 80's.

[@TheRatsCast]

This song builds up as the sadness of the absence builds. It's supposed to show the growing sadness of the singer. Hall and Oats really knew how to write songs well.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Daryl Hall and John Oates wrote many songs which other artists made into hits. They were inducted into the Songwriter Hall of Fame about ten years ago, if memory serves.

[@malcolmarnsdorff6782]

I agree. The sadness builds til he finally shouts “She’s gone!” Really is emotional... These guys have a sound, I tell you!...

[@jamesgalimo1007]

For Hall and Oates you guys should check out "Out of Touch."

[@robrobertson4619]

When these guys started back in the 70’s, the term, Blue Eyed Soul, started being used to describe this type of music

[@helaina400]

“Blue eyed soul” started with the “Righteous Brothers”.

[@robrobertson4619]

@@helaina400 the “term” blue eyed soul. That type of music was being sung before even the Righteous Brothers. Wish there was more of it today👍

[@vonnyb9052]

Legends ....one of the best songs ever written...if you're not feeling this you're not feeling...how you gonna listen to the first couple seconds of a song and say I ain't feeling it...🙄
