Hey Jay, you went out on a great song. They would be called Rock infused R&B. Hall and Oates came from my hometown of Philly, PA. I first heard this song while watching The Steel Pier Show, which was like a local Bandstand style show. They had a video which was shot at their studio I think. But this is one of their best ever songs. Thanks
Daryl Hall has one of the greatest vocal ranges I can think of, and his voice harmonizes so nicely with John Oates' on this song, one of my favorites by them. Everything about it is perfect.
This song was before MTV, so when I was listening to them on the radio in the 70's, I really didn't know if Hall and Oates were white or black until I saw their first video on MTV and then I was like damn, these guys have a lot of soul. They completely changed course on their 80's songs, but they kept pouring out hit after hit so they were obviously doing something very right. One of my favorite duos of all time. "Out of Touch" is probably my favorite Hall and Oates song. Oh, and Gerry Rafferty is probably my favorite soft rock singer. "Baker Street" & "Right Down the Line" are masterpieces.
Oh my Jovaughn, what this is considered is GREAT MUSIC from one of the most talented duets. They could sing the phone book (old point of reference) and bring in the sax and make it sound great. Thanks for this.
They played AT MY HIGH SCHOOL in 1981/82 when we won a contest. I’m afraid to say we really didn’t appreciate them at the time. They were kind of “in-between acts” Not quite has-beens, but soon after they became HUGE.
You're probs right. Average White Band could have been classed similarly. Both Hall & Oates and AWB sounds were so soulful. Love Sarah Smile and Rich Girl by these guys.
I think the term/genre R&B has changed through the years. It's seems like it's a different genre from what it was in the 60s-70s. Just my opinion... ☻☺
You've listened to quite a few great songs of the 60's 70's 80's and 90's and you're not even remotely halfway through, so many awesome songs that weren't Top 40 hits and are forgotten and need to have the spotlight shined on them now if can just pull out my 3500 CD collection out of the attic to boost my memory :)
One of the best duos in musical history. Their voices match perfectly. My mom used to play Hall & Oates in our station wagon in the 80s-90s. Great memories.
Yacht is pronounced yot or yawt. Rhymes with not and lot (although some accents make it a longer sound in the middle than that). It's those big fancy boats that rappers and rock stars shoot their videos on.
I finally understood what "blue eyed soul" was after these boys. I've known/listened to them since they came onto the scene, I just didn't know that was a description of their music. Almost all their music is fantastic!!!
One of the best 'broken-heart' songs of all time. Complex harmonies, deeply layered instrumentation and a wonderfully soulful vibe. LOVED your reaction to this goose-bump inducing tune!
At the time it was called "blue eyed soul". I don't think they ever had a bad song. If you haven't heard Sara Smile, listen to it. I had a German Shepherd 1982-1997 named Sara who would show her teeth and smile when she was happy. The song, Sara Smile, still makes me cry.
I love Darryl Hall and John Oates! They were considered blue-eyed soul!! They were so soulful and were inspired by the music of Motown and even toured with former Temptations, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks in the eighties! They were genius and their music is still amazing! ❤️❤️
Thanks J💝Y for playing this, song reminds me of my friend who died last year. She use to listen to a radio channel in the UK 🇬🇧 called “Smooth Radio” you would love it. Try and see if you can get it on the internet 😃
OH, how this song hits me straight through my heart 💔 My Wife and I lost each other for a year💔 I couldn't listen to this one without tearing up😢 Now we're back together and STRONGER than before ❤️💯 Praise Our Father in Heaven, Amen🙏
Daryl Hall is such a legend. He's still rocking at age 74. Check out the videos from his house where he invites other artists to perform with him at his house. Smoky Robinson, Cee Lo Green, Wyclef, and the O Jays are just a few of the artists that join him to jam. Tomorrow will be a live streaming event with 50 other artists. But, check out his version of "Neither One Of Us".....it's so great it's a life changer.
John (dark hair) wrote this song about his girlfriend when she left him. This was their first hit. That first pic was them now. They're both great songwriters & have aged well! They were heavily influenced by Motown.
Check out "Wait for Me" live version. Darryl Hall is wearing a white tee in this live version. His voice is phenomenal in this one. They both do a great job here.
Its been decades since I last heard this song, don't they sound brilliant together, I love the ending lol. You have said everything I thought to say and more besides but I'm not my best today, my husband said earlier that though I'm awake my brain is still asleep lol. He right too the rascal!!! Take care of yourself please everyone God bless you all love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
Javon, did you hear what you said at the beginning ? "I finally got their names down. Daryl is the blonde. Hall is the dark haired one" That's the same person...Daryl Hall LOL
@@JayveeTV It's all good. Love your channel. Could you PLEASE react to possibly the greatest LIVE performance ever. Trust me you're going to love this. Just the crowd alone is worth the watch ruclips.net/video/eXvGbWO_DIk/видео.html
JV, I 've really enjoyed your reaction to the Hall and Oates' music. I heard it when it came out - a LONG time below. I KNEW you would like them. Love your channel.
I just recently found you and I'm so glad I did. I love your excitement in your music reviews. As I watch the music videos play I can see how the music builds up inside you beat by beat by your expressions and the overwhelming excitement you get. It reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard these songs. I Love how you appreciate these songs from back in the day. I love any songs of the Bee Gees, if your interested. I see you have reviewed several of their songs. "Closer than Close" features Maurice Gibb lead which he doesn't sing lead in many songs and has a great voice. Keep up the great reviews and your great work. I look forward to your reviews. Much love. Your FANtastic, Much love Linda in Texas USA
Jimmy Buffett for the Yacht Rock. Look at Son of a Son of A Sailor or Pirate Looks at Forty first. Van Morrison for the soft rock, Into the Mystic or Brown Eyed Girl or Moondance
Blue eyed soul, easy listening. Darryl Hall is one of the few He has a pretty cool setup. Check out his gig, he invites artists to his studio to hang and jam. Just watched Billy Gibson of ZZ Top. LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, very infectious!! ❤👊
How can anyone give such a great song any category. Just great music that moves us heart and soul. Love your reaction melts all my stresses of the day away. 🕊💖🕊
I'd call it R & B. I think it was on Abandoned Luncheonette album, 1973. Also try When the Morning Comes from that album. Very early stuff from them, a classic though. They always have a sax solo lol. Philly boys-this is very 70s Philly soul.
Imo their best song. The keyboard sound, soul sisters' background vocals & then the harmony between the 2 vocalists. Imo this was their signature song. ✌
I think awhile back I asked for this, thank you so much, one of my fave songs ever! I am a professional singer and I love how you appreciate the vocals and the instrumentation. Rich Girl is a great one by them as well.
LOVE this song and Hall & Oats! I saw them in '84, magic happened when they were on that stage...what an amazing concert. Listen to their hit "Adult Education"
Daryl HALL is the Blonde Jay And John Oates the One with the Village People Moustache. Daryl Has a Superb Soulful Voice and his Solo album “Soul Alone” in 1993 really showcased his vocal talents even more than His Duo days of Hall and Oates.
Well done on your 100k Jay!! Loving your work here in the UK. Not sure if you've checked out the band Muse yet, if not you could start with Starlight. Love Hall & Oates by the way.
I have been a huge fan of Hall and Oates since I was a kid and they bang out, some great rock and soul, mixed with the best RnB vibes! Excellent singers and musicians! Very versatile! Daryl said when he was 16, he hung out with the Temptations. They were friends of David Ruffin among others. Thanks for the upload!
This was and still is called ... blue-eyed soul ... which simply means whites singing soul music, blue eyes or not. Elvis was probably the first hugely successful blue-eyed soul artist, but he sang Rock & Roll, Ballads and just about everything, so he wasn't strictly a soul artist, but he was great at it and there were white DJ's in the south who refused to play his records, called it "N Music". Elvis didn't give a shit. He kept singing what he liked.

These guys are soulful...go down this music rabbit hole 😎 Thanks for entertaining us today...look forward to your live stream tomorrow.
Great music tonight J. Thank you.
Brilliant brilliant awesome evening of superb music.

I was giggling cuz Darryl Hall is the blonde and John Oates is the dark haired one bit yes you can hear more Oates on this one.
Your authentic joy is infectious. This year has brought so much hardship but you are a tonic for me and many others. Bless your heart.
Well said 💟
I agree! Jayvon you always make me laugh or smile with your genuine reactions
Daryl Hall has one of the greatest vocal ranges I can think of, and his voice harmonizes so nicely with John Oates' on this song, one of my favorites by them. Everything about it is perfect.
Young Dary Hall was tremendous.
Thing is, so many people think it's Daryl singing most of it when John actually carries it, especially in the beginning.
His solo album "Sacred Songs" is stunning. He could have been Bowie if he wanted to. Dude could sing anything.
If you want to hear how soulful Hall and Oates can get, listen to “Sara Smile”
I’ve done that one if you type their name followed by JayveeTv in a youtube search it should come up
Oh... you’re way ahead of me! I look forward to watching that reaction. Much love, man!
@@JayveeTV Or just search within your videos. :)
Yes! Sara Smile!
Kyle Bakke A Great one too!
Blue eye soul. Philly sound.
All day long.
Sara(h) Smile, She's a rich girl...So many great ones. Night!
I’ve done Sara smile it’s my favorite
She's a rich girl is just called "Rich Girl."
Hey! I don't know when you hit 100,000 subscribers. But I just noticed, so congratulations on hitting six digits on your subs. You deserve it! :)
Thank you
This is ‘blue eyed soul’ at it’s very finest.
Yes Indeed
I miss a brass section in songs.
Those songs had a rich and classy hookup with those extra jazzy instruments!
Daryl Hall it´s the blonde and John Oates it´s other...
I love these guys so much!!!!
and this song is so great.
The musical genre is Blue-eyed soul
LOVE LOVE LOVE 70s Hall and Oats , Shes gone was 1976 ,,,, 70s ROCKED
This song was before MTV, so when I was listening to them on the radio in the 70's, I really didn't know if Hall and Oates were white or black until I saw their first video on MTV and then I was like damn, these guys have a lot of soul.

"Out of Touch" is probably my favorite Hall and Oates song. Oh, and Gerry Rafferty is probably my favorite soft rock singer. "Baker Street" & "Right Down the Line" are masterpieces.
Soooo much happened before MTV.
I think the phrase Blue Eyed Soul Brother was coined because of Darryl Hall.
Hall & Oats is the kind of band I can listen to the whole CD without skipping a song.
Suggestion:
Sara Smile
By: Hall and Oates
He’s done it-
“I need a drink and a quick decision “....
"My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon..." 🤣😂
Oh my Jovaughn, what this is considered is GREAT MUSIC from one of the most talented duets. They could sing the phone book (old point of reference) and bring in the sax and make it sound great. Thanks for this.
Check out Daryl's tv show "Live from Daryl's House". It's Great! ❤️❤️❤️
Daryl Hall is the Blond and main singer. John Oats has the dark hair.
He said "Daryl is the blond, Hall is the dark haired one", Daryl Hall is one person, the blonde.
@@DMegaTronMD HUH?
@@blkluv100 yep I heard the same thing june
A sax always takes rock to another level.
Yes aggree,try Urgent by Foreigner
Charlie DeChant was so good!
Agree. Add Glenn Frey's song You Belong To The City to the sax list.
AMEN!!🙏🙏👌🥰💘🌷
The Sax is the sexiest sounding instrument. It can only be played at night 👍
They played AT MY HIGH SCHOOL in 1981/82 when we won a contest. I’m afraid to say we really didn’t appreciate them at the time. They were kind of “in-between acts” Not quite has-beens, but soon after they became HUGE.
They have one called ( I can't go for that). I like that one. Ok jay have a nice night. 💞💞💞
Sometimes called “blue-eyed soul,” in other words, white guys singing R&B, soul, etc. Term might not be cool anymore. ?
You're probs right. Average White Band could have been classed similarly. Both Hall & Oates and AWB sounds were so soulful. Love Sarah Smile and Rich Girl by these guys.
I don't care. They will always be blue-eyed soul. I saw them live in NYC best concert.
I think the term/genre R&B has changed through the years. It's seems like it's a different genre from what it was in the 60s-70s.
Just my opinion... ☻☺
Daryl Hall himself has publicly said he hates that description. To him, it's just soul music.... just saying
@@robinsmith8252 me too...at Great Guildersleeves and a few other places!
Their best song. Both voices shined, and they nailed it all the way through the song.
Now that’s how u listen to a Hall And Oates Song. 🔥🔥🔥
J, Their "Kiss Is On My List" is next for you! Banger
This one is my favorite Hall & Oates from the 70's. Maneater is my favorite from the 80's.
Back in the day this genre was called "easy listening"
👌👌💘💘💘✊✊✊
Or "Soft Rock"
You've listened to quite a few great songs of the 60's 70's 80's and 90's and you're not even remotely halfway through, so many awesome songs that weren't Top 40 hits and are forgotten and need to have the spotlight shined on them now if can just pull out my 3500 CD collection out of the attic to boost my memory :)
Please react to Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry.” Thanks for all of your great reaction videos. We all love them!
Try a deeper dive with Sting If I Ever Lose My Faith.
Really enjoyed this one. Great way to end the night.
Oh how I love Hall and Oates. My late step uncle always listened to them and my husband....it's his favorite group. Great style, voices and music 💗
I would say it’s safe to call this
Rhythm & Blues =R&B/Soul
One of the best duos in musical history. Their voices match perfectly. My mom used to play Hall & Oates in our station wagon in the 80s-90s. Great memories.
Yacht is pronounced yot or yawt. Rhymes with not and lot (although some accents make it a longer sound in the middle than that).

Brother check out this version I Can't go for that ft Ceelo with Daryll at Daryl's house in Penn State. Soul brothers
Checkout

Smooth song
They call it Blue Eyed Soul. Hall & Oates, from Philly, #1 recording duo ever... in history
They do a beautiful live version of this, even better than the studio version. Xx
lol Daryl Hall (blonde) and John Oates (brunette)
People forget just how good of a vocalist both John and Daryl are, plus amazing harmonies.
How can anyone not love that song!! Perfect reaction!
I finally understood what "blue eyed soul" was after these boys. I've known/listened to them since they came onto the scene, I just didn't know that was a description of their music. Almost all their music is fantastic!!!

My all time favorite Hall & Oates song! So glad you reacted to it. You’re so sincere and a joy to watch. Keep it up!
These guys picked up Blue-Eyed Soul where the Righteous Brothers left off! So DAMN good!!

Love this, and LOVE your videos! Can you please react to 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp? It's pretty unique!
Thanks J💝Y for playing this, song reminds me of my friend who died last year. She use to listen to a radio channel in the UK 🇬🇧 called “Smooth Radio” you would love it. Try and see if you can get it on the internet 😃
What you're really hearing is more of JOHN's voice. His is the deeper one. Daryl comes in on the high parts.
OH, how this song hits me straight through my heart 💔 My Wife and I lost each other for a year💔 I couldn't listen to this one without tearing up😢 Now we're back together and STRONGER than before ❤️💯 Praise Our Father in Heaven, Amen🙏

Very soulful! It’s nice to hear Oates’ voice more! (Btw the “ch” in that word “yacht” is silent so it’s just pronounced “yawt.” Much easier! 💕)

Watch Daryl’sHouse where he has other artists come to his house and eat and play songs live.
Great reaction. Hall and Oats were huge in the 80’s and their music is timeless.
Please do “Kiss on my Lips” by H&O!!
"List"
pwhytey aaah. You’re right. Of course. Swear that I typed it in right!
Don't be giving "Wierd Al" Yankovic any ideas now!?!...😉😁
It's a Laugh and Back Together Again are my favorites... Blue Eyed Soul...
Gotta b one of my favorites by them. Darryl's voice is incredible!
I hate the term yacht rock!Who came up with that one?👎
RagJamRock lol...that’s. My new favorite SiriusXM station...Yacht Rock....all the oldies
They were the most successful duo of all time in the 80’s. They were both from Philadelphia. They have tons of hits from the 70’s into the mid 80’s.
It's the genre of "good music."
JV, I 've really enjoyed your reaction to the Hall and Oates' music. I heard it when it came out - a LONG time below. I KNEW you would like them. Love your channel.
Some of the greatest lyrics-"Pay the Devil to Replace Her" "My face ain't looking any younger" timeless.
They are 1 of my favorites ❤ I saw them live last year and they are still great 👍and they still have the same saxophone player with them
for other good uses of the saxophone try out Roxy Music's "Jealous Guy" or "Avalon" , both brilliant tracks by a great band
Great music - great reaction. And the saxophone just takes it higher! Thank you Jayvee :)
I could listen to Hall & Oates all day! You should check out "Family man"!

Keep up the great reviews and your great work. I look forward to your reviews. Much love. Your FANtastic, Much love Linda in Texas USA
Jimmy Buffett for the Yacht Rock.
Look at Son of a Son of A Sailor or Pirate Looks at Forty first.
Van Morrison for the soft rock, Into the Mystic or Brown Eyed Girl or Moondance
Icons of blue-eyed Philly soul and this is my favorite track of theirs of all time. Thanks, man!
Can you please react to “can’t fight this feeling” by reo speedwagon 🔥🔥🔥
Like so he can see this 💯
If you haven't reacted to Hall and Oats singing Sarah Smile....you need too....its awesome!! You will love it.
This was their first single. It hit, was fire and all thought they were black!
First song was Sara Smile
Adult education,, method of modern love also BANGERS!!!!
Such a great tune! You should've checked out the video they made for it😂
Blue eyed soul, easy listening. Darryl Hall is one of the few
He has a pretty cool setup.
Check out his gig, he invites artists to his studio to hang and jam.
Just watched Billy Gibson of ZZ Top.
LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM, very infectious!! ❤👊
Bobby Cauldwell "What You Do For Love" or Boz Scaggs "Lowdown"

Daryl HALL is the Blonde Jay And John Oates the One with the Village People Moustache.
Daryl Has a Superb Soulful Voice and his Solo album “Soul Alone” in 1993 really showcased his vocal talents even more than His Duo days of Hall and Oates.
Blue-eyed soul. I believe they captured the Philly RnB sound influences. Check out Lady Rain or Las Vegas Turnaround. Thanks J. Pickin some good ones
On a similar note, check out Angel Eyes by Jeff Healey.
Gotta love Mr. Charlie DeChant on sax, too. Listen to ANY Hall and Oates. And yes, I'm a fangirl with 36 H&O records. Have fun.
Well done on your 100k Jay!! Loving your work here in the UK. Not sure if you've checked out the band Muse yet, if not you could start with Starlight. Love Hall & Oates by the way.
