Vocal Coach Reacts To Hall And Oates - Sara Smile - Live - Ken Tamplin

Vocal Coach Reaction to Hall And Oates - Sara Smile - Live - Ken Tamplin
Hall and Oates were formed in the Philadelphia soul music scene of the 1960s and 1970s.
The two write most of the songs they perform, separately or in collaboration. They achieved their greatest fame from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues.
They have sold an estimated 40 million records, making them the best selling music duo in HISTORY!
Billboard magazine had Hall and Oates at No. 15 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and the No. 1 duo!
I chose to react to the song “Sara Smile”. Co-written by both halves of the duo, this tune was the group's first Top 10 hit in the US, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

Daryl's mom is a voice teacher. He credits her for teaching him to sing with support. Great, rich, multi-color voice.

[@kentamplin]

VIDEOHEREBOB And his dad was a singer, as well.

[@ZakEdwardsOfficial]

Daryl is just the real deal. His note selection, vocally in particular is brilliant. He puts fresh emotional expression in every performance of his songs. Even now at 73yrs old, he's as good or better than ever. Inspiring. Great Video Ken.

Fantastic, Ken! Hall is simply a rarity among vocalists with that tone of his.. You mentioned daryls house..I saw one with Robin Zander and Robin was just crushing Family Man but the moment Hall jumped in.. You just go 'oh.. Right that's Darryl Hall' what tone! Great job on this, Ken you, yourself, were even soulful when talking about it. I love singing I love being able to sing.. It's really a great gift you've given me God bless, brother

[@PaperbackWriter92]

Being born and raised in Philadelphia (and currently still living there now), it made me really happy to see you do a video about Hall and Oates. I've seen Live from Daryl's House before. It's a great show. I don't know if you saw the episode when he had on The O'Jays? They're another group from the Philly Soul Music scene.

[@BrianKushner]

Hall immersed himself in the Philly sound back in the day and obviously absorbed it well.

[@kentamplin]

i've seen hall and oates so many times since 1980 and i love watching live from daryls house.

[@DebbieCA]

This was fun to watch. I love your critiques. I’ve been to numerous H&O concerts and I have to be honest here, the instrumental breaks go on forever. The last concert I went to of theirs was at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga CA (gorgeous venue) 3 years ago and as I was leaving I said that this might be the last H&O concert I’ll go to for a long time because many of their songs went on wayyyy toooo long. It was monotonous. Having said that and watching many of your videos tonight, I want to see them again next year. lol!

[@kentamplin]

Hahaha! Funny how that works!

I've watched several different "Vocal Coach Reacts" channels, but your channel is absolutely legit in that you definitely put your money where your mouth is, in a manner of speaking. I won't name anybody in particular, but I definitely got the impression from more than a few that they are just calling themselves vocal coaches. Rock on!

Hall & Oats! Listened to them in my car on cassette tape. This was one of my favorite songs by them. This performance gives me chills, and so effortless. Hall was truly blessed as a singer. And his bank account shows it 😁

[@kentamplin]

He deserves every penny!

[@l.t.w8985]

Best duo in rock history and best harmonizing between Daryl Hall and John Oates. John Oates doesn't get enough credit for his beautiful harmonizing vocals. I think Daryl's house is so pretty cool because I've seen some great artists and my favorite Sammy Hagar has played on Daryl's house before with a bunch of others.

[@kentamplin]

I agree totally, L.T.W!

i wasn't subscribed to ur channel? WHAT THE HECK'S THE MATTER W/ME?! :( i corrected that. :) there r voices that r made for certain types of music. i wouldn't expect robert goulet to sing "u can't always get what u want" as well as mick & vice versa. but then there r those that have been gifted w/voices that can sing anything. ella fitzgerald, linda ronstadt, elvis come to mind. i've heard u cover some songs & the 1 that totally blew me away was ur cover of "TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD" by chaka khan & rufus. FANTASTIC! love ur vids! keep em' comin'.

[@JOHNKUHNMUSIC]

Back in the day, when we were all playin 6 N/W, we performed this nightly for months . Hearing you break it down, especially about singin it alittle different/peformance, makes me look back and have greater appreciation for Mike's vocal skills. I could care less in the 70's! LOL Now that Im singing in the 21st, this prompts me to get out some old live cassettes and RE listen to this and "Who's that Lady" and others in this Juandra. Thanks Ken !

Hey Ken... I grew up in San Antonio, TX. As a teenager in the 70's we had an incredible radio station - KISS fm. Joe Anthony (the Godfather of Rock n Roll) and Lou Roney were the stellar DJs who brought us Rush, Triump, Judas Priest, Moxy etc. Those bands and more broke into the American market in San Antonio on that station. We were truly blessed to have such a great musical education as SA was the heavy metal capital back then. A band we call our own is Legs Diamond out of LA in the 70s. Not suggesting them necessarily for a reaction (would be great though) but wanted to know if you are familiar with them. They are the sound track of San Antonio and were a tight, tight band. Let me know what you think. Check out some songs... Women, Stage Fright, Fugative, etc.

These guys were just incredible. You wonder why the network would give them such space to improv this song Ken ? Well perhaps Network Executives knew that the demographic glued to the screens was one highly valued by advertisers . A wide age range of females probably mid teens to middle age at that time. Guys in general might not appreciate whom this song would touch.Thanks Ken for the reminder .

[@kbusby4824]

Their music is certainly part of the soundtrack of my life. This appears to be a performance from the German music television show, Musikladen. I just caught the "laden" portion on the sign at the beginning of the video. Not sure if historically that program gave artists more latitude in terms of improvisation, but if so, that is fantastic. I also recommend Foreigner's appearance on the German television show, Bananas (similar to SNL) from 1982 just for the stage set alone. The replica of Giorgione's Venus with the inclusion of a live model would not have been seen on U.S. television in the early 80s. I believe, however, that is the studio track of Break it up by Foreigner rather than a "live" performance.
