The 'SRV-looking' guy was the late GREAT Tom 'T-bone' Wolk. One of the backbones of Hall & Oates live shows and the Live From Daryl's House shows until his passing. An amazing musician. Sax player is Charlie DeChant, also a long time member of the band and a semi-regular on Daryl's House.
Originally recorded by Hall and Oates in 1980, is wasn't released till 1985, the same year Paul Young made it to Number 1 in the US and Number 4 in the UK with this great tune. Daryl is one of the smoothest, most technically perfect singers and best soul singer of his generation with his perfectly delivered Philly Soul. The instrumentation is all so amazing, with the whirling organ's intertwined with Daryl's emotional vocal delivery.😢😢 So amazing. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Daniel. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for introducing me to this version Daniel. It blows PY’s out of the water and I just learned that Daryl Hall wrote this. Nice reaction and commentary. Thanks Harri and Daniel 🌺✌️
I agree @@danielvolk237, I love both versions, although I think this live version by H&O is so much better than their studio version. I should listen to the studio version again, but I think I’d prefer Paul Young’s studio version over H&O’s studio version. This live version to me is in its own way (about) as good as PY’s.
Absolutely love Hall and Oates always!! God given voices and soul! Check out Daryl’s house with Todd Rundgren doing the last ride! Sooo great!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The studio version had the organ intro and daryl's vocals before the band came crashing in! And yes, it does sound like church! Daryl could have been a gospel singer! When I first heard the studio version, I had chills up and down my spine! Beautiful song!
No offense to Paul Young, but his version pales in comparison to Hall and Oates. So glad you reacted to this version, Harri! Please check out the studio version on their "Voices" album. Sooooo good.
I don't believe Daryl Hall can sing any song bad! Have you checked out his version of "Me and Mrs. Jones"? Also wonderful! He does this song with Elle King in a performance on Daryl's House. On those Daryl's House videos, he lets his guest shine, and boy does she!
Hall and Oates is The most successful rock duo in Rock history. They surpassed The Everly Brothers in the late 80s. Hall and Oates had 16 Top Ten hits 6 #1 songs.
This version did indeed take me to church. It just has that feeling. It appears towards the end it morphs into a bit of a blues song. Amazing version to say the least. Take care....
The guitarist is probably Tom T-bone Wolk (bassist, but this guy looks closest to the one in the video - if anyone knows please correct me) who passed away in 2010 at only age 58. G.E Smith their other guitarist was a member of the Saturday Night Live house band and co-musical director, he is still alive. Both of these guys were in demand musicians. This looks like it was possibly filmed in the 90s but I didn't check to see if there was a date.
Did you know that Jimmy Helms, Jimmy Chambers and George Chandler, who later formed Londonbeat (with guitarist Willy M.) sang the background vocals on the Paul Young version? You can see (and of course) hear them in action on the video of Paul’s performance at Live Aid.
Darryl Hall lives in the country in a house he renovated. Not pretentious at all..He has musicians over to jam and eat. He has his jams on TV. Libra usually have musical talents,
I have to get this out of the way right away..Daryl has a fabulous head of hair! Anyway, I really enjoyed your reaction. The organ and keyboards were very gospel like. I recognize some of the musicians from the series Daryl’s House
The studio version from their album "Voices" sounds more like Paul Young's cover. Their version didn't get as much air play because it wasn't released as a single, so it didn't become as popular as Young's. I'm sure Daryl didn't mind, considering the royalties he must have earned. Not sure what John thought about it.
Not a big fan of the live version--the studio cut is awesome, though! Voices was one of the first records I bought as a kid; such a solid album, it really made me a big fan!

Hall and Oates are soulfully a gift to us all, Bravo 👏
That deserves a standing ovation
One of my favourite bands of all time and my very first concert - Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, 1983.
Brilliant performance above.
Have always loved these two !!!!
Same! Too bad for anyone wanting to see them perform that they don't feel the same toward each other.

I miss T-bone. His memorial on LFDH was touching.

Thanks Mary for your concise and nice comments. 😉
@danielvolk237 Hooe you're well Daniel. Cheers from Canada 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦❤️🇺🇲
I love every song by these guys. Thank you Daniel you have great taste, and thanks Harri for the great reaction.
Thanks Cyn my Canadian compadre. You are too nice. 😊
Thanks for introducing me to this version Daniel. It blows PY’s out of the water and I just learned that Daryl Hall wrote this. Nice reaction and commentary. Thanks Harri and Daniel 🌺✌️
Thanks Debbie for the nice remarks. I love both versions of this tune. PY is on my future playlist. 😊

It blows Paul's version out of the water. Daryl's mother is a vocal coach, who started training him at age 3. The studio version is good, too.
It's amazing to me how many people aren't aware that Daryl wrote this song!
Halls voice is so much stronger. He's still has amazing vocals.
The studio version had the organ intro and daryl's vocals before the band came crashing in! And yes, it does sound like church! Daryl could have been a gospel singer! When I first heard the studio version, I had chills up and down my spine! Beautiful song!
They are always incredible live! Such gifted musicians!
Love your reactions Harry! You are so genuine in your enjoyment of all music! I never would have checked this out on my own! Wonderful.
Yesssss! The original * heart eyes * Love love love!
No offense to Paul Young, but his version pales in comparison to Hall and Oates. So glad you reacted to this version, Harri! Please check out the studio version on their "Voices" album. Sooooo good.
Great live version! Thanks Harri!

Not physically possible for him to sing a song badly, I agree!
Daryl is a vocal beast! And he really shines on anything Philly Soul related.
Was going to say that in my comment; that Daryl's Philly soul just shines through everything he does.@@supasoulproductions
I love every song by these guys. A walk down memory lane. ❤Thank you, Daniel, and,as usual, Harri, your reactions are the best.
Thanks Annie for your kind comments. 😊
In Puerto Rico My first Rock and Roll concert was DIO,but the 2 was Hall&Otes ...METAL and Pop but the 80's was so MAGICAL MUSIC🎼🎩🎸🎶🎶🎶😈🤌🇵🇷✌️🤘
Excellent!!!
Do the live version of Wait For Me. Daryl does some vocal gymnastics that are incredible.
Hall and Oates is The most successful rock duo in Rock history. They surpassed The Everly Brothers in the late 80s. Hall and Oates had 16 Top Ten hits 6 #1 songs.
This version did indeed take me to church. It just has that feeling. It appears towards the end it morphs into a bit of a blues song. Amazing version to say the least. Take care....
Daryls House
The studio version is a very stripped back, gospel version with the organ. It’s perfect. The OG! ❤
que tema lo mejor...sin dudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
❤❤❤

Looked like 1995 Japan.
And he's got cool hair too

You can see (and of course) hear them in action on the video of Paul’s performance at Live Aid.
I loved Paul Young's version. Then I heard this version by a duo I love, and I was just blown away by this version.
Daryl Hall does this song on Live From Daryl's House with guest Travis McCoy.
It is a top notch performance. It's worth watching..
Taking us to church!!!!!! There is a version at the Apollo where Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin sing backuo
blue-eyed soul...
So caught up in the song I almost forgot to like it. Daryl Hall and John Oates will do that to you. That was great.
Me too. I made a comment, but, I didn't hit like. LoL That's what " Take me to church music" does to you. Lol😅

Daryl wrote this amazing classic. Paul Young kust covered it. He knew an azing dong when he heard it.
I didn't know that Hall & Oates wrote or sang this song.
RIP T-Bone
DH is the GOAT

Especially since John wouldn't have gotten any of the royalties from it, and considering their overall issues with one another.
Not a big fan of the live version--the studio cut is awesome, though! Voices was one of the first records I bought as a kid; such a solid album, it really made me a big fan!
Love Hall and Oates. But prefer Paul Young
