Charles DeChant on saxophone. "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is one of fourteen Hall & Oates songs that have been played on the radio over one million times, according to BMI.
This song at Daryl's house performed by CeeLo Green was fabulous. All the talent at Daryl's house is top notch. Please play some of it. Love your station guys
So, it was about a relationship... Every interaction in our lives is a relationship and it is REAL hard to feel bad for people that desire to perform and be famous the world over and have zero skin in the hundreds of millions of dollars it costs to produce, promote and pay the thousands and thousands and thousands people employed behind the scenes. Am I protecting the 95% of the recording industry sharks, not even close. This is a very symbiotic relationship and one without the other just leaves us with cr*p...
Thanks for mentioning "Live at Darryl's House"!!!!! A GREAT show; wonderful reissues of their songs with really interesting artists. ON RUclips??? Think it originally broadcast on A&E.
They wrote and recorded this song as a message to their record company, that was being difficult and insulting to them at the time. You're right about that 80s synth sound. In spite of modern digital synths being able to sound like this, few musicians or producers think to try it.
Interesting. I love when musicians write songs with inner messages. The same with Heart, Barracuda was written by Ann and Nancy Wilson, based on their record company made up story about the sisters having incestuous relationship. They double downed and wrote the famous song.. Anyway, Hall and Oats were the best in the 80's for their great sound.. They had a lot of singles on the charts.
What exactly was it for which they could not go? I guess we'll never know. Whatever it is, it can't be good. Sounds like a deal with the pleased -to -meet- you- hope- u -guess my -name- guy. No can do. I concur. What a vibe. I think it's their best song. They have so many. Private Eyes also vibish. Thanks Robsquad.
you have to admit its funny that john and Daryl hated this song but were forced into it by the record company. That's why the 80s ENDED, HALL and OATES. Seems the 80s trashed everything.
Sarah Smile used to depress me, because I had a huge crush on someone that wouldn't have anything to do with me. By senior year of HS, we were friends, so all has been well ever since with my hearing this.
Daryl Hall is one of the smoothest voices in R&B/soul. Listen to their song "Sarah Smile" sometimes. What a great song. And try to watch some installments of live at Daryl's House where they have both older and new groups come in and do their songs in studio with Daryl's musicians (including that sax player).
@@LisafromFl Her real name is Sarah Joyce and she said on the show that her dad used to sing it to her and you could tell by her performance that it meant a lot to her.
If yet to do so, check out John Oates solo work on RUclips. Vocally he’s incredible in his own right. I was floored when I heard him considering he has always been the secondary voice in Hall and Oates.
Watching the younger generation of today listen to the soundtrack of my Youth only reminds me of how lucky my generation really was with such a quality and Diversity of music. I mean could you all imagine no matter what station you turned on no matter what genre of music you turned on it was all solid gold.
"I Can't Go For That" was THE JAM at the end of 1981 into '82! #1 Pop, #1 Dance, #1 R&B! The soulful sax solos are by the very cool Charles DeChant. Play "I Can't Go For That" today at a Steppers' Party, in a skating rink or at a backyard barbecue, and everybody gets up and starts movin'!
The bassist Tom “T-Bone” Wolk dropped some unforgettable bass lines. Maneater is his tour de force. He carries that song along with that epic saxophone during the bridge.
It was funny watching Jay and Amber react to "We Are the World" for a 2nd time,, and when Daryl Hall came up, Jay said he didn't know who that was, but later in the video when they showed Daryl Hall standing next to John Oates, Jay's face lit up as if he finally recognized them.
Michael Jackson created the song "Billy Jean" from this groove. He heard it and changed it to make the sound of Billy Jean and then thanked Darryl Hall for this song that gave him the idea. So many people have used this song for their grooves (Biggy Small for example).
Daryl Hall was born with absolutely perfect pitch, so much so that during the rehearsal sessions for the "We Are The World" video, Quincy Jones utilized Daryl's talents to sit off stage with headphones and fine tune the other participating celebrity singers, which can be seen on the outtake footage of those sessions.
Brian McKnight covered this. If you haven't checked him out yet, you really should. I still listen to his 1st album in 1992. I've loved him since. Great singer, writer & multiple instruments.
You can't go wrong with Hall & Oates (No Can Do). 😅 After hearing this, you now have to listen to Simply Red's "Sunrise," which samples this song- and it's AMAZING!!!
Amazing! Mick Hucknall from Simply Red samples I Can’t Go For That with his song Sunrise! Simply Red is another band from the 80’s you would adore! Holding Back the Years is timeless. Well worth your time to dive into Simply Red too. Love your channel!
Daryl Hall had a show called "Daryl's House"...other musicians come in and play Hall and his band...they sing both artists' songs. Cee lo Green and Hall did an amazing job on this song...worth checking out.
I absolutely love Hall & Oates and this song is great, it has everything! They owned the eighties, it was a great decade for them and for music in general! 💖💖
I'm a GenXer and watching you two react to the music of our lives honestly brings me pure joy! Oh the memories of my youth. Each of these songs has a story and I LOVE that you love the music. The 80's were wonderful. Thanks for giving me a piece of it here with you. :) For another Hall & Oates favorite, I suggest "Kiss on my List". Love it!
#1 Pop and #1 R&B in early 1982. They were all over the radio in the first half of the 80s. “Do It For Love” is a great late-period song for them. Check it out.
One of my favorite songs by them, I've been a fan of the group for a long time. Some other great songs by them you haven't reacted to yet: Sara Smile, Private Eyes, Maneater, Kiss On My List, Adult Education, Method Of Modern Love, Family Man, One On One, Say It Isn't So, and Did It In A Minute. I especially hope you are able to get to "Sara Smile" eventually, it's such a classic.
The lyrics in this song allude to how the record labels use and mistreat artists... In the same vein, a 70s/80s rocker named Billy Squier released a song called "The Stroke" which alluded to the same concept but with a very gritty Rock sound that was really popular... It's one of the most memorable tracks of it's time.. You gotta check it out.
Y'all, your expressions are cracking me up in the *best* way! lol This is such an honest reaction, and it's just awesome. I believe the sax player is Charles DeChant; he did several songs with Hall & Oates and sometimes plays in Daryl's house band on Live From Daryl's House. He's also worked with other singers like Tina Turner and Billy Joel.
This is a perfect little song, I love it. His singing just sounds so effortless and the instrumental is just phenomenal. De La Soul sampled this one for "say no go" on their first album "3 ft high and rising", which I also love.
Here's a Hall & Oates gem that will get you guys cutting the rug: "Portable Radio". A very different side to their usual softer songs. Wasn't a big hit but it should've been. My favourite! 😎
Such a great duo, these guys have a beautiful songs, Kiss on my List, Adult Education, Out of Touch, Maneater, One on One, Private Eyes and of course, my fav, Your Imagination.
This is one of the many groups I did not really pay much attention back in the day, but NOW, with the depths pop music has sunk, I have a new-found appreciation.
Awesome song! This inspired Michael Jackson's bass line in "Billy Jean." I was watching Summer of Soul that Questlove put together. It's about the 1969 Harlem concert equivalent of Woodstock, and one of the people interviewed lamented that we can afford to send men to the moon, but won't feed the poor in Harlem. Reminded me of "Moon Blues" by Otis Spann. You should give it a listen.
Yes! The story goes that while they were recording We Are the World, Michael came up to Daryl and said “I hope you don’t mind, but I “stole” I Can’t Go For That for Billie Jean, is that ok?” Of course Daryl said sure!
H&O is awesome!! Daryl is touring with Todd Rundgren this month and it should be a great show. I saw them together in concert once - until then I didn’t realize they’d been friends for decades.
More childhood memories with this one! They were in heavy rotation on black radio back in the day. I’m still hoping one day y’all will discover Foster Sylvers from the Family group The Sylvers . He had a one hit wonder with his song “Misdemeanor”.
I searched your archives for Pink Floyd's "Us and Them". It isn't there. I can hardly believe it. Probably one of the sexiest sax solos ever recorded, by one of the greatest bands ever. You will be moved.
Daryl Hall and John Oates are so smooth and great harmonies! Iconic Detroit sound! If you love sax, listen to #41 by Dave Matthews Band!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Daryl’s house is a great show! Watch the one with Todd Rundgren in Hawaiii!! Last Ride! Crazy good!!
Glad yer gettin' around to their many songs! This one's so iconic, the sounds, the "I can't go for that, no can do." H&O have a dozen hits, easy, Some remaining: "Sara Smile" "Kiss On My List" "One On One" "Say It Isn't So" "Everything Your Heart Desires" and a cover of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" originally by the Righteous Brothers.
This is my first time suggesting a song! I am suggesting someone you have probably never heard of, Delbert McClinton. His song "I'm With You" is one of my favorite golden oldies. Thanks and I appreciate both of you so much!
Yea that saxophone was beautiful on this song! And if you still want to hear more 80s instrumental music, I would suggest Herb Alpert's "Making Love in the Rain" feat. Lisa Keith & Janet Jackson.
So glad you covered this. It has such good memories of happy times, and how uncomplicated life was back then. Great radio music, with hit after hit. Sweet stuff.. Thank you for a great reaction..
Hall & Oates turned down the opportunity to do that song for the Streets Of Fire soundtrack. They later released their own cover of it (with different lyrics) on Our Kind Of Soul.
When Hall & Oates we’re at their biggest, 80s, I was a young mom with 2 little ones. My husband watched the kids So I could go see them in Atlanta. My first concert ever at 29 years old!! I loved them and had a huge crush on Daryl Hall and that smooth voice and lions mane of blonde hair. Thx for this reaction!!
This is my favorite Hall & Oats song. Great reaction! I love the way Amber reacts to the sax solos! For another great sax solo, I highly recommend Rio by Duran Duran.
You need to react to their cover of the Righteous Brother's "You've Lost That Loving Feelin'" - be interesting what you think of their cover of a RB hit.
This song is the template that influenced Michael Jackson to write the music to his biggest hit "Billy Jean." It's really noticeable in the first couple of bars where the drums and bass take center stage, exactly like Billy Jean. MJ loved this tune and flattered the world with his interpretation of it.
"Rise" by Herb Alpert and "Night Rhythms" (Live) by Lee Ritenour would be a couple of very good saxophone masterpieces that you guys would definitely like.
You should check out the videos from Live at Daryl's House, where he brings in some some of the giants of music and they come to his house, plug in, and sing their hits. Darius Rucker, the O'Jays, Kenny Loggins, these are just a few who have dropped in. To see a bunch of really great singers/musicians just sitting around and enjoying singing some great songs together is fascinating. You will be hooked!
There is so much Hall and Oats worth watching. If you honestly like this music you need to see them live. They just jam. Better then any 3 minutes will give you.
Charles DeChant on saxophone. "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is one of fourteen Hall & Oates songs that have been played on the radio over one million times, according to BMI.
The sax player is Charlie DeChant. He's been with Hall and Oates forever
This song at Daryl's house performed by CeeLo Green was fabulous. All the talent at Daryl's house is top notch. Please play some of it. Love your station guys
INDEED! They're similar to studio recordings but not as formal & on video. You can tell they're just all there having an awesome time Rockin out!!
I got turned on to Daryl’s House watching Chod Wilburn’s reaction channel.. became a big fan. I hope these guys find those videos…
That performance was magic! Man, I would love to be a guest at Daryl's house when he's having a live music day!
Yes! That’s is an excellent video. Thanks Mark.
Live at Daryl's is the best.
Alot of people thought this song was about a relationship, but it's about the music business and how artists get used by recording labels
So, it was about a relationship... Every interaction in our lives is a relationship and it is REAL hard to feel bad for people that desire to perform and be famous the world over and have zero skin in the hundreds of millions of dollars it costs to produce, promote and pay the thousands and thousands and thousands people employed behind the scenes. Am I protecting the 95% of the recording industry sharks, not even close. This is a very symbiotic relationship and one without the other just leaves us with cr*p...
I didn't know that. I love music trivia!
you got the body, now you want my Soul. Don't even think about it, say no go
Doesn't the song Barracuda by Heart have the same theme as this song?
Now that I know this, I will listen with a different frame of reference.
Daryl Hall did a version of this song with Cee Lo Green a few years ago on his channel 'Daryl's House'.
A very cool rendition.
Word!!!! That’s an awesome version!!!!
I was going to mention that they would absolutely love the Daryl's House CeeLo Green video.
cee lo on that chorus was smooth.
This would make an awesome reaction video.
Yes, you should react to that one. It’s fire!
Daryl currently has a show called Daryl’s House. He invites other artists and plays their music or his…so cool.
Great show!!
Thanks for mentioning "Live at Darryl's House"!!!!! A GREAT show; wonderful reissues of their songs with really interesting artists. ON RUclips??? Think it originally broadcast on A&E.

It seems like a lot of artists had problems with their record labels. George Michael and Heart come to mind.
@@kens32052 Rush was another band that had issues with their record label.
What exactly was it for which they could not go? I guess we'll never know. Whatever it is, it can't be good. Sounds like a deal with the pleased -to -meet- you- hope- u -guess my -name- guy. No can do. I concur. What a vibe. I think it's their best song. They have so many. Private Eyes also vibish. Thanks Robsquad.
Hollywood, I know your middle name, who inspires your fabled fools? That's my claim to fame. Jive Miguel etc. No can do.
One of their best songs! Up next, Sara Smile. You will love it!
YES!! 👍🏻😃❣️😃👍🏻
you have to admit its funny that john and Daryl hated this song but were forced into it by the record company. That's why the 80s ENDED, HALL and OATES. Seems the 80s trashed everything.
Guys react to Sara Smile by Hall & Oates. You’ll be blown away by this one!
Sarah Smile used to depress me, because I had a huge crush on someone that wouldn't have anything to do with me.
By senior year of HS, we were friends, so all has been well ever since with my hearing this.
@@twenty3enigma yes I can see how If you have feelings for someone that song can make you feel sad but I’m glad you’re past that & everything is ok.
Awesome song! Hall's & Oats were hot with cool vibes....
Halls & Oates "Sarah Smile" emotes a sense of well being, love and soothing vibes.
YES!! 👍🏻😃❣️
Daryl Hall is one of the smoothest voices in R&B/soul. Listen to their song "Sarah Smile" sometimes. What a great song. And try to watch some installments of live at Daryl's House where they have both older and new groups come in and do their songs in studio with Daryl's musicians (including that sax player).
Also listen to Jimmy Wayne sing Sarah Smile at Daryl's house.it is an amazing cover.❤❤
@@LisafromFl Rumer also has a great cover of Sara Smile on Live At Darly's House
@@glennelfmann3143 haven't heard that one.I'll have to check it out..thanks!!
@@LisafromFl Her real name is Sarah Joyce and she said on the show that her dad used to sing it to her and you could tell by her performance that it meant a lot to her.

Your slogan "Give The People What They Want" - The O'Jays have a song named that
The Ojay's are a group Jay& Amber should check out, and the Ojays also did an episode of Live At Darryl's House!
They need to Hear The O’Jays’, For The Love Of Money. It was ridiculously popular. Another message song.
Watching the younger generation of today listen to the soundtrack of my Youth only reminds me of how lucky my generation really was with such a quality and Diversity of music. I mean could you all imagine no matter what station you turned on no matter what genre of music you turned on it was all solid gold.
So chill. These dudes ruled the '80s. Make sure to visit SAY IT ISN'T SO - my fave tune of theirs. In concert *chef's kiss*
70s musicians kicked ass in the eightys and ninties. of course hall and oats hated the song and soon they got out of the music biz.
@@kenperk9854 Daryl and John are far from out of the music biz. Daryl especially is still going Strong for many of us older people.
"I Can't Go For That" was THE JAM at the end of 1981 into '82! #1 Pop, #1 Dance, #1 R&B! The soulful sax solos are by the very cool Charles DeChant. Play "I Can't Go For That" today at a Steppers' Party, in a skating rink or at a backyard barbecue, and everybody gets up and starts movin'!
I was 5 or 6. And yes, I remember hearing their music on car rides
One of the coolest bass lines ever. You should try "Sunrise" by Simply Red which heavily samples I Can't Go For That.
yep!!A lot of time I do not like when someone samples songs but Simply Red did a great job with this. Love both version...Gorgeous songs
Yes, what they said!
Now you know where Michael Jackson got the bass line for Billy Jean. :-)
The bassist Tom “T-Bone” Wolk dropped some unforgettable bass lines. Maneater is his tour de force. He carries that song along with that epic saxophone during the bridge.
That was really well done...Mick Hucknell did the original justice
It was funny watching Jay and Amber react to "We Are the World" for a 2nd time,, and when Daryl Hall came up, Jay said he didn't know who that was, but later in the video when they showed Daryl Hall standing next to John Oates, Jay's face lit up as if he finally recognized them.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. He recognized john but the name wouldn't come to him.
All these dudes did was write and perform hit after hit from the late 70’s through the 80’s. They had an epic run, no doubt.
They ain't done yet!
Hall and Oates is the most succesful musical duo in history. 7 of their albums are RIAA certified platinum and 6 are gold.
One of the BEST H&O songs EVER. I saw them live around this time period and they were great.
Michael Jackson created the song "Billy Jean" from this groove. He heard it and changed it to make the sound of Billy Jean and then thanked Darryl Hall for this song that gave him the idea. So many people have used this song for their grooves (Biggy Small for example).
The most successful duo in music history, the epitomy of blue-eyed soul!!!!!
This genre is known as Philadelphia blue eyed soul.
Daryl Hall was born with absolutely perfect pitch, so much so that during the rehearsal sessions for the "We Are The World" video, Quincy Jones utilized Daryl's talents to sit off stage with headphones and fine tune the other participating celebrity singers, which can be seen on the outtake footage of those sessions.

Daryl Hall had a show called "Daryl's House"...other musicians come in and play Hall and his band...they sing both artists' songs. Cee lo Green and Hall did an amazing job on this song...worth checking out.
Still exists. It's on AXS and it's awesome. Daryl Hall is t he greatest singer of my generation.
Sara Smile..She’s Gone…Man eater…Rich Girl..and the list goes on and on…Can’t go wrong with Hall and Oates ✌️
Not really good songs for reacting to tho
This band is so great, grew up on them! Their music is awesome!
Rich Girl. 😎
One of my favorite Hall and Oats songs. De La Soul used the chorus and a few lines in their rap song "Say No Go"
I absolutely love Hall & Oates and this song is great, it has everything! They owned the eighties, it was a great decade for them and for music in general! 💖💖
Daryl Hall was one of the singers you didn’t recognize in your second time reacting to We are the World. 😁🎶🎸 I love him 😍
Both Hall and Oats were in the video, Hall got the mic, Oats in the choir group
I saw that as well. Glad you two know Hall and Oates now!
Hall and Oats were prolific and defined a point in time...they reached all kinds of people...we still love them.
Sax player is Charlie “ Mr Casual” DeChant. Been with them since mid 70s and still with them to this day. You need to do ‘One on One’ next
LOVE Charlie
An exciting never to be repeated era of music & discovery, so glad i lived the 80s!
Live From Daryl's House is something y'all should check out. Daryl Hall invites his famous musician friends over to grub and jam.
Yeah! I love the version of this song with CeeLo Green!
"Somebody Like You" with Joe Walsh is great
Hell yeah! It's amazing. I love it.
@@kmach1000 Hell yeah in some ways I like that song that version better
Cee Lo Green appeared on Daryl's House and does this song. It is awesome!
You can never go wrong with Hall & Oates, and they never disappoint...always enjoyable! Love the reaction, as always!
Amber and her horns! That lean back and smile! Y’all are great!❤❤
I graduated in 1982 and we in my opinion had some of the best music during that time period (70s and 80s). Hall and Oates was one amazing duo.
Turning 58 this year, and the 80s were the 70s & 80s were the Goldent Age of music.
This earned a triple crown on the billboard charts. Number one on the Pop R&B and album charts. Urban radio wore this one out
"Sara Smile" is amazing...it will become one of your all time favorite songs of any artist. Darryl Hall`s voice in "Sara Smile" is perfection!
Hall & Oats were considered "Blue Eyed Soul"...so good!!!
I'm a GenXer and watching you two react to the music of our lives honestly brings me pure joy! Oh the memories of my youth. Each of these songs has a story and I LOVE that you love the music. The 80's were wonderful. Thanks for giving me a piece of it here with you. :) For another Hall & Oates favorite, I suggest "Kiss on my List". Love it!
The skating rink floor would be packed when this came on!!! This STILL goes hard in 2023!!
This is the kind of music that just makes the heart and the soul smile!
One of my favorite iconic slept on groups of the 80`s, i loved Hall and Oats style and swag back in them days
#1 Pop and #1 R&B in early 1982. They were all over the radio in the first half of the 80s.
“Do It For Love” is a great late-period song for them. Check it out.
One of my favorite songs by them, I've been a fan of the group for a long time. Some other great songs by them you haven't reacted to yet: Sara Smile, Private Eyes, Maneater, Kiss On My List, Adult Education, Method Of Modern Love, Family Man, One On One, Say It Isn't So, and Did It In A Minute. I especially hope you are able to get to "Sara Smile" eventually, it's such a classic.
6:37: I love when they have lots of sax in a song. I CAN go for that.
A very underrated H&O song that I know you'll like because of it's incredible bass line is "Your Imagination".
i just loved growing up in the 70s and 80s listening to this awesome band
Their song “ONE ON ONE” sounds amazing with headphones. Super smooth!
YES! This is a fantastic song. My favorite from Hall and Oates. Glad you finally checked it out.
The lyrics in this song allude to how the record labels use and mistreat artists... In the same vein, a 70s/80s rocker named Billy Squier released a song called "The Stroke" which alluded to the same concept but with a very gritty Rock sound that was really popular... It's one of the most memorable tracks of it's time.. You gotta check it out.
YES!! 👍🏻😃❣️😃👍🏻
Daryl's house was freaking fantastic! Nothing but a jam session!
Love me some Hall & Oates - Iconic and this is one of my favourites ^*^
One of my favorites and their song Sarah!!
Now you have to check out the Live from Darryls house with Cee Lo Green.....
Love love love Hall and Oates and always have always will!
This song and One on One are my favorites. Hall and Oates could do no wrong.
Charlie DeChant has been their sax player since 1976.
Y'all, your expressions are cracking me up in the *best* way! lol This is such an honest reaction, and it's just awesome. I believe the sax player is Charles DeChant; he did several songs with Hall & Oates and sometimes plays in Daryl's house band on Live From Daryl's House.

Michael said he would frequently dance to this song when he got out of bed.
Loggins and Messina’s “Move On” will treat you both to great guitar and sax solos!
I'm so glad I grew up during this era. It was a time of great experimentation in music. So many great bands. Enjoy the ride!!!
H&O is awesome!!
Daryl is touring with Todd Rundgren this month and it should be a great show. I saw them together in concert once - until then I didn’t realize they’d been friends for decades.
Love Hall & Oates! Hope you'll do "Sara Smile" next
The band Simply Red samples this song in their song from the early 2000's called "Sunrise". You two should check it out, I think you'd jam to it!
I came here to specifically make the same suggestion.
More childhood memories with this one! They were in heavy rotation on black radio back in the day. I’m still hoping one day y’all will discover Foster Sylvers from the Family group The Sylvers . He had a one hit wonder with his song “Misdemeanor”.
I searched your archives for Pink Floyd's "Us and Them". It isn't there. I can hardly believe it.
Probably one of the sexiest sax solos ever recorded, by one of the greatest bands ever.
You will be moved.
This song has been sampled a lot, but I think best in a great song called "Sunrise" by Simply Red. Great song.
Daryl Hall and John Oates are so smooth and great harmonies! Iconic Detroit sound! If you love sax, listen to #41 by Dave Matthews Band!! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Daryl’s house is a great show! Watch the one with Todd Rundgren in Hawaiii!! Last Ride! Crazy good!!
I think you mean Philly sound. 🤷♂️👍
golden years of true talent
If you’ll notice Daryl Hall always has a nice scat at the end of a lot of their songs. Say It Isn’t So is my favorite along with Sara Smile.
Maneater!! Awesome sax in that too, plus it's just a killer song. 👍👍
Glad yer gettin' around to their many songs! This one's so iconic, the sounds, the "I can't go for that, no can do." H&O have a dozen hits, easy, Some remaining: "Sara Smile" "Kiss On My List" "One On One" "Say It Isn't So" "Everything Your Heart Desires" and a cover of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" originally by the Righteous Brothers.
This track has been sampled more times than you can imagine.
This is my first time suggesting a song! I am suggesting someone you have probably never heard of, Delbert McClinton. His song "I'm With You" is one of my favorite golden oldies. Thanks and I appreciate both of you so much!
Simply Red took parts from this song to write a song called Sunrise
You guys should react to it
I couldn't agree more. I have that album with Sunrise on it! ❤
Yea that saxophone was beautiful on this song! And if you still want to hear more 80s instrumental music, I would suggest Herb Alpert's "Making Love in the Rain" feat. Lisa Keith & Janet Jackson.
Herb Alpert played a muted trumpet, not a saxophone. ;)
Love Hall and Oates! They have so many good songs!
That’s Charles DeChant on saxophone. He is a journeyman player who as played with Hand O, Billy Joel, Average White Band, and many others.
So glad you covered this. It has such good memories of happy times, and how uncomplicated life was back then. Great radio music, with hit after hit. Sweet stuff.. Thank you for a great reaction..
Dan Hartman, -(I can dream about you) 1984. Kinda have that Richard Marx sound. Keep up the good work 😎👍
Heck yes!
Hall & Oates turned down the opportunity to do that song for the Streets Of Fire soundtrack. They later released their own cover of it (with different lyrics) on Our Kind Of Soul.
That song is a banger!
When Hall & Oates we’re at their biggest, 80s, I was a young mom with 2 little ones. My husband watched the kids So I could go see them in Atlanta. My first concert ever at 29 years old!! I loved them and had a huge crush on Daryl Hall and that smooth voice and lions mane of blonde hair. Thx for this reaction!!
Daryl Hall & John Oates - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - ya'll have to hear this one. I was so surprised that John does a lot of the singing.
This is my favorite Hall & Oats song. Great reaction! I love the way Amber reacts to the sax solos! For another great sax solo, I highly recommend Rio by Duran Duran.
👍 in the 80's Hall and Oates, Duran Duran, INXS, and U2 were my favorite bands!
@@jeanniea3437 I was a total Duranie! They were my life!
Razzmatazz by Idkhow has a sweet sax solo.
You need to react to their cover of the Righteous Brother's "You've Lost That Loving Feelin'" - be interesting what you think of their cover of a RB hit.
These guys are the soundtrack to my childhood. LOL My mom LOVED them and listened to the allllll the time. I love them too.
This song is the template that influenced Michael Jackson to write the music to his biggest hit "Billy Jean." It's really noticeable in the first couple of bars where the drums and bass take center stage, exactly like Billy Jean. MJ loved this tune and flattered the world with his interpretation of it.
"Rise" by Herb Alpert and "Night Rhythms" (Live) by Lee Ritenour would be a couple of very good saxophone masterpieces that you guys would definitely like.
You should check out the videos from Live at Daryl's House, where he brings in some some of the giants of music and they come to his house, plug in, and sing their hits. Darius Rucker, the O'Jays, Kenny Loggins, these are just a few who have dropped in. To see a bunch of really great singers/musicians just sitting around and enjoying singing some great songs together is fascinating. You will be hooked!
That baseline hits hard
There is so much Hall and Oats worth watching.
If you honestly like this music you need to see them live. They just jam. Better then any 3 minutes will give you.
