Are you sure? A guy who´s the lead singer for the most successfull pop duo of all time and got inducted into the Rock ´n Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 is what you call "underrated"? Damn :D
Daryl Hall is not underrated at all. Hall and Oates maybe not as well known to the younger generation as was in the 70's and 80's when they were mega-stars. But it's the 2020's other stars are shining bright. Everyone gets there moment to shine! I have never heard anyone listening to Daryl Hall say he's not good, or has rated him low. He's just not as widely KNOWN to the younger generations, that's all, definitely not underrated.
I agree with this! Hall & Oats are widely known as pop stars….. but I agree many people do not recognize their R&B, soulful qualities. And Daryl Hall’s vocals are great!!!
It is an absolute masterpiece of music. Timeless..Mozart would have loved this. They should send this piece of mankind skill out in outer space to make those invaders more kind towards us when they invade. This ain´t good music. It is one step beyond.Good dammit! Go Pack Go,
R&B radio broke Daryl Hall & John Oates in the 70's. They were from Philadelphia and early on employed elements of the "Philadelphia Sound" in their music. They also toured as a support act for the Temptations and other R&B groups.
Hall and Oates were very prominent in my life in high school 80-84! Musically and vocally they are both phenomenal! I'm mainly a classic rocker from 70's and 80's, but I'm also very eclectic and can go from AC/DC to classical to country, to jazz, so it's easy for me to like Hall and Oates! Thank you for your reactions!
@@karlschmitt6359 you're the only one I've heard to say this....have you listened to her beautiful voice?? You're strange and in denial...u a Dem? Lol.....
Probably my favourite track by them, that engineering is soooo good. If you rock this on vinyl and play it LOUD, that bass groove is infectious. And the adlibs were SYNCOPATED, the sort of off-beat accent he uses there.
"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" was a phrase Daryl Hall used when he was pressured to go along with the crowd against his wishes. Hall and his girlfriend Sara Allen wrote the lyrics. Hall recalls: "I wrote most of the lyrics, but Sara contributed some ideas. I sang the lead vocal, and there's the song - can't get any simpler than that!"
In an apparently long lost interview Daryl revealed that this song has nothing to do with sex or relationships as almost everyone assumes. It's about them pushing back on their record company that wanted them to adhere to a formula in order to keep the hits coming. He's explaining to the they can keep doing this and a bit more of that but there comes a line in the sand where they won't change their creativeness any further.
After reading your comment, I think about the rumor that artists sell their soul for fame. Then hearing the lyrics "use my body, now you want my soul" makes me think there might be something truth there. Then "I can't go for that", maybe they were one of the few who said, nope, not selling my soul.
@@mariebee3146 Yep! I didn't glean that interpretation of it all by myself though. I heard Daryl say it in an interview. Another one of H&O songs that people don't get the real meaning of is their song "Maneater". Don't take it literally. They wrote it after recording their first couple of albums when their base of operations was in Philly. That's where they grew up as well and even in their late teens were very plugged into the quite large music scene theer. Daryl was tight with the Temptations and other artists, even had a band in college, "The Temptones". Anyway, they moved to NYC to live and continue to work and record there. Maneater is about their experience there, not a woman. NYC was so much more different, the vibe, the danger, especially at night, everything being much more cut throat. Really great artists like H&O can get their point across in subtle ways, they would never get it recorded and released if they said right up front what they REALLY mean! Thanks for your response too!
You just can't imagine how much fun this was to dance to!! But then again maybe you can if your seat dancing is any indication. Both of you nailed it.!!🎶❤️🎵 I think the word your looking for is "Alternative Rock".
Billboard Magazine rated Hall and Oats as 15th on their top 100 music artist of all time (obviously modern era. Mozart alone blows nearly all off of the map)
That guitar you're hearing is John Oates. The other half of the duo. These guys were at the forefront of the "blue eyed soul" movement. They were dope but they got extra love in my household because they are from Philly!!!!!! Philly in the house!!!! My dad bought EVERY Hall and Oates album. Part of the record player mix on the weekends
saxophone is an R&B instrument as much as jazz, rock, and big band, and blues. (I was a saxophone player for years before switching to guitar and bass 30 years ago)
Daryls House rips this up with Cee Lo Green, a performance from 2012. There a bunch of covers Daryl did from Daryls House that are definitely worth checking out. Enjoyed you guys getting all in on this one, dancing as well as the comments. TY.
This is a song Daryl wrote about an increasingly unreasonable promotion schedule the record company was pushing on him and he decided to start saying no. The recording and writing were impromptu in the studio.
Although Daryl Hall hates the term, they are often thought of as blue-eyed soul group. But going through their history and catalog, you will see that H&O dabble in folk, R&B, rock, soul while incorporating several flavors such as reggae, new wave and jazz. If you want to listen to the most distinctly different albums, try "War Babies" (1974 - produced by Todd Rundgren) and Daryl Hall's solo album "Sacred Songs" (1980 - produced by Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame).
I will never forget my youngest son coming home from school one day dancing and singing this song he was in high school. I always tried to educate my boys on different genre of music but never knew what they absorbed 😆. He finally told me one of his teachers whom he liked use to play Hall and Oats in class 😆 🤣
The origin & meaning to this timeless classic song has a deeper meaning than a lot of people realize. Its about not selling your soul to the elites in the industry to get ahead. I respect them so much for not only having the guts to do that but also writing a song about it 🎤🎶🔥👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻💯
H&O are definitely the bomb. If you loved that, check out Simply Red's, "Sunrise"...they borrowed their beat from "I can't go for that" and it's smooth!
Please please check out some of the "Daryl's House" videos where Daryl Hall sings with guests like Cee lo Green - Crazy - F**k You, Elle king - Ex's and Oh's, Jason Mraz - I'm yours So many more great live performances
Daryl has blue-eyed soul for days! There is a series called Live at Daryl's House with other famous artists! This one is done with Cee Lo Green and is fantastic! The guitar is John Oats!
Asia...... you are right..... Hall & Oates incorporate Jazz, Reggae, and R & B music in their songs particularly this one!!!! Just keep i mind that Daryl has a thing for Motown music.....and he isn't shy about it either!!!
Y'all are taking me back to the good ole days again lol...and B.J's groove got me movin too 🤣..but such a cool, funky song for the "80's haha. But seriously Hall &Oates are timeless 💜
A SURPRISE For You BOTH & Probably MANY Others..Just After Starting His Acting Career,, John Travolta "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" & "Let Her In"...Beautiful MUST HEAR Tracks.
I always joke about how much I hate getting older but I am so glad I was around when this song was on the radio and when it was being played at the roller rinks. They played it on the Top 40 stations and the R&B stations. I also had a giant crush on Daryl Hall. (Haha)
Glad this group was suggested! Hall and Oates are awesome musicians! The original album cut you played is great! You should check out Daryl's house with Cee Lo Green when they play this song. It gave me chills and raised the hair on my arms. A&B, stay cool!
Hey guys, i go for this. FUNKY Verry big hit in the Netherlands, still on the radio, ones in a while. Love the sound and the voice. Great song. Thanks and take care. 👊👍😁❤
What's great about a reaction video, especially to a good tune(such as this), is that you're providing a service that allows fans of the tune in question to be re-experienced in a way that's all but been forgotten. Our emotions bubble back up to the surface to reflect a time when we initially listened to the tune ourselves. We, your audience, rejoice in the nostalgia of how we felt. It's like blowing onto fading hot fire coals. Lights up, gets red with life. On behalf of all your reactionees, thank you. A truly unique phenomenon in this day and age. Gracias, and hello from Tijuana, MX.
They’re not categorized. They truly transcend. It’s the sweet spot where blues meets souls meets r&b meets whatever they did. I grew up on this and first was introduced around 10. Couldn’t appreciate and endorse them more as artists.
Welcome to the world of "Blue-Eyed Soul" They really was Blowing Up then.. It was the time for it. A new generation discovered some white boys got "Soul". I'll leave y'all with 2 Hall and Oates songs to check out. "Sara Smile" and "She's Gone". Nuthin' but Love for y'all.❤
Hall & Oates had some great songs in 80’s, I think the word Asia was looking for is “syncopated”: that’s when a musical line is offset from the main beat of the song.
You know every song like this that you guys react to sends me to a special time in my youth , 1982 I think it was great year great memories lots a love.
Their band basically came from SNL. Guitarist GE Smith was the band leader on the show. And both their regular sax and bass players were in the SNL band at one time. And the drums were one of the first programmable drum machines. H&O had one of the first albums that used a drum machine almost exclusively. Man-eater.
I love this song so much because it reminds me senior year of high school and just having good times cruising around with my friends after school or on the weekends. Another one that makes me with I could go back to that time, lol. Thanks guys! ❤
They were/are an iconic songwriting team. So many many hits in 1970s and 1980s. You should check out some episodes of "Live From Daryl's House" on RUclips.
MUST HEAR Classics,, Daryl Hall & John Oates "Las Vegas Turnaround" (The Stewardess Song)..."When The Morning Comes" & "Had I Known You Better Then"...TRUST ME!!
"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" was a phrase Daryl Hall used when he was pressured to go along with the crowd against his wishes. After a recording session for the Private Eyes album in Electric Lady Studios (New York City), Hall, Oates and engineer Neil Kernon improvised this song. In an interview with Mix Magazine, Daryl Hall recalls: "Remember the old Roland CompuRhythm box? I turned to the Rock and Roll 1 preset, sat down at a Korg organ that happened to be lying there and started to play this bass line that was coming to me. It's the old recording studio story: The engineer heard what I was doing and turned on the tape machine. Good thing, because I'm the kind of person who will come up with an idea and forget it. The chords came together in about 10 minutes, and then I heard a guitar riff, which I asked John, who was sitting in the booth, to play." John Oates continues in the same interview: "Daryl came up with this great bass line, using whatever sound happened to be on the organ, and Neil miked it and the drum machine. Daryl came up with the 'B' section chords, and then I plugged my 1958 Strat directly into the board, which was either an early SSL or a Trident." The next day Hall and his girlfriend Sara Allen wrote the lyrics. Hall recalls: "I wrote most of the lyrics, but Sara contributed some ideas. I sang the lead vocal, and there's the song - can't get any simpler than that!" Michael Jackson has confessed that this greatly influenced his hit song "Billie Jean." Daryl Hall recalls that when they were both recording "We Are The World," Jackson told him he hoped Hall didn't mind that he copped the groove. Hall told him he did a good job of stealing it because he didn't even notice. John Oates (from an interview with Livedaily): "'I Can't Go for That' is one of the most sampled songs from our catalogue, maybe ever for all we know. It's been sampled on so many songs. I can name five or six versions of it. Just last year Simply Red did a song called 'Sunrise,' which was basically 'I Can't Go for That.' The entire song. It wasn't a sample, it was the actual track. He just wrote a different verse over it. Puff Daddy sampled it, De La Soul sampled it. I like it [when our music is sampled]. I like when people have a different take on what you do. That's quite a compliment." (Songfacts.com)
The Daryl Hall & CeeLo Green colab was done in 2012. But you guys can also check out Daryl Hall with the Roots playing the same song. When I 1st saw Hall & Oates they were on Soul Train. I couldn’t believe my eyes at 1st so I started adjusting the color on the TV!! Lmao 😅🤣😆😂 Also when 1st heard of the name Hall & Oates, I thought it was a cereal!! Lol 😂🤣😆😂🤪 But check those out, they’re probably the best live versions.
Daryl Hall (singer) also has a RUclips channel called Daryls House, where he gets together with other musicians and make music at his house. Many famous artists partake. Its cool
Daryl Hall is a criminally underrated vocalist. Thanks for appreciating him.
Hall and Oates were a huge hit back in the day, vocals appreciated not to mention the clever tunes with soul and roll,lol.
Daryl's House rocks!
Are you sure? A guy who´s the lead singer for the most successfull pop duo of all time and got inducted into the Rock ´n Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 is what you call "underrated"? Damn :D

Over 40 years since it dropped and it's still fire! 🔥🔥🔥
It is an absolute masterpiece of music.
Timeless..Mozart would have loved this.
They should send this piece of mankind skill out in outer space to make those invaders more kind towards us when they invade.
This ain´t good music.
It is one step beyond.Good dammit!
Go Pack Go,
This song was played on the R&B stations. It even made the R&B charts also, that's how good they are
I’m a fan of yours to Mr. Wilson!😊
@@joelliebler5690 Clever. Is that how a Pet Sounds? 😏
@Charles Burris 🤪
R&B radio broke Daryl Hall & John Oates in the 70's. They were from Philadelphia and early on employed elements of the "Philadelphia Sound" in their music. They also toured as a support act for the Temptations and other R&B groups.
They both grew up in Philly and they are blue eyed Philly soul.
I love it when bj dances!!

@Karl Schmitt
Oates went to my high-school and came to play there in the gym with his former band 'Whole Oates'. (1973). What a time.
My high school years also! Best music decade ever!
Karl....how about the no. 1 Karen Carpenter?
@@michaelasay8587 wasn't into Karen Carpenter, sorry!

You can't EVER go wrong with these two harmonizing, crazy talented WHACK JOBS! I sure miss their musical influence.....keep playing their stuff!
Arguably the most underrated voice in R&B history.
Asia & BJ gettin down to Hall and Oates love it especially BJ breaking out his moves 😉👍
Probably my favourite track by them, that engineering is soooo good. If you rock this on vinyl and play it LOUD, that bass groove is infectious. And the adlibs were SYNCOPATED, the sort of off-beat accent he uses there.

This song must have the record for the most no's recorded.
Some call it blue eyed soul yes; it’s also a Philadelphia sound too.
Asia & BJ you'll love their "Out of Touch" and "Private Eyes"!!!
The arrangement and production are just excellent.
You two are quite literally having the best party together! I was right there with you! What a vibe this song is!

Never heard that before, not sure how I missed that interview.
@@maryellenshock I'm too lazy to try and find it now but Daryl said it in no uncertain terms.

Great Tune……..Hall killed it with the these vocals🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Asia & BJ, This track is a "Jam" and an absolute "Banger!!!" Way to go with this reaction!!!
Charles Dechant on sax!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
ASIA she is beautiful!!
The word is "syncopated", a great effect by placing beats off from other rhythm.
You just can't imagine how much fun this was to dance to!! But then again maybe you can if your seat dancing is any indication. Both of you nailed it.!!🎶❤️🎵 I think the word your looking for is "Alternative Rock".

Hall and Oates showing that Philly soul sound they highlight so well. Their roots are showing here.
Impressive for 1981-82 (I think)

Go head BJ! 🤣 Hall and Oates is definitely a rabbit hole worth exploring.
BLUE EYED SOUL.GREAT SONG AND BAND
80s pop music had so many different styles and the musicians those days were pretty versatile and talented.
Yaaas, blue eyed soul 💙
I will never forget my youngest son coming home from school one day dancing and singing this song he was in high school. I always tried to educate my boys on different genre of music but never knew what they absorbed 😆. He finally told me one of his teachers whom he liked use to play Hall and Oats in class 😆 🤣
I saw Hall and Oats in concert at the Hollywood Bowl about 5 years ago. It was a magical night.
I love seeing you enjoy the music I grew up with.
Hall n Oats are another group that every song doesn’t sound the same.
They got major play on R&B stations in the 80's. Daryll Hall was a big fan of old school groups like Delfonics, Stylistics, Temptations, etc.
The origin & meaning to this timeless classic song has a deeper meaning than a lot of people realize. Its about not selling your soul to the elites in the industry to get ahead. I respect them so much for not only having the guts to do that but also writing a song about it 🎤🎶🔥👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻💯

Man-eater is s another great Hall and Oates song.
Great job again you two.
Hall and Oates met at Temple university in Philly and were hugely influenced by the Philly soul sound of the late 60s onward.
Daryl has blue-eyed soul for days! There is a series called Live at Daryl's House with other famous artists! This one is done with Cee Lo Green and is fantastic! The guitar is John Oats!
Asia...... you are right..... Hall & Oates incorporate Jazz, Reggae, and R & B music in their songs particularly this one!!!! Just keep i mind that Daryl has a thing for Motown music.....and he isn't shy about it either!!!
Straight from Philly, the greatest purveyors of blue-eyed soul this world has ever known.
Love these guys.
They hold the record for most hits by a duo. 29! top 40 hits.
Amazing. Thanks again!
Our pleasure!
Y'all are taking me back to the good ole days again lol...and B.J's groove got me movin too 🤣..but such a cool, funky song for the "80's haha. But seriously Hall &Oates are timeless 💜
Classic. Music was so cool in the 80’s. Awesome reaction.
One of my favorite Hall and Oates songs! Love it. Great reaction
Now That You've Both Heard This Classic Track,, I Would Definitely Suggest Going & Listening/Watching The Official Music Video For This One.
#1 pop and #1 R&B plus #1 Dance in 1982
A SURPRISE For You BOTH & Probably MANY Others..Just After Starting His Acting Career,, John Travolta "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" & "Let Her In"...Beautiful MUST HEAR Tracks.

I absolutely LOVE the slow groove of this song! It’s my favorite H&O song for sure…✌️💕
I have always so loved Hall and Oats !!
Asia, yes that off beat, that catches back up again, is called SYNCOPATED. That takes talent to do seamlessly like that.
Glad this group was suggested! Hall and Oates are awesome musicians! The original album cut you played is great! You should check out Daryl's house with Cee Lo Green when they play this song. It gave me chills and raised the hair on my arms. A&B, stay cool!
Hey guys, i go for this. FUNKY
Verry big hit in the Netherlands, still on the radio, ones in a while. Love the sound and the voice. Great song. Thanks and take care.
👊👍😁❤
According to Michael Jackson this song gave him the idea for the beat to “Beat It”… Hall and him were good friends.
This was famously used by DE LA SOUL in their biggest single...."Me, Myself and I"

The LEGENDARY Iconic Hall and Oates
They have real soul , you can hear it when Daryl sings
Their lead guitarist in those days was G.E. Smith who went on the join and later lead the Saturday Night Live house band.
H&O were blue-eyed soul! Excellent in concert, and their band was very underrated. This is from Dec. 1981
One of the best with that Philly r and b classic soulful sound!
Lol you two look like you’re about to levitate outta those chairs. Hall and Oates great songs period!
Please please do some stuff from Daryls House!! 🎶So many different singers coming into Daryls house to sing with him!!🎸🎶🎸
The Daryl Hall & CeeLo Green colab was done in 2012. But you guys can also check out Daryl Hall with the Roots playing the same song. When I 1st saw Hall & Oates they were on Soul Train. I couldn’t believe my eyes at 1st so I started adjusting the color on the TV!! Lmao 😅🤣😆😂 Also when 1st heard of the name Hall & Oates, I thought it was a cereal!! Lol 😂🤣😆😂🤪 But check those out, they’re probably the best live versions.
There is a great version of this… Please watch “Live from Darryl’s House with Cee-Lo Green” “I can’t go for that” - it’s tremendous!
This was sampled by De La Soul for the song 'Say No Go' from their '3 Feet High And Rising' album.
It's a BANGER, for sure.
The rythm in the beggining of this song is very similar to a simply red song, both are great songs.❤
they have the Philly sound. It is called blue eyed soul
Daryl Hall (singer) also has a RUclips channel called Daryls House, where he gets together with other musicians and make music at his house. Many famous artists partake. Its cool
Hall & Oats are so good! So Smooth, yeah!
They are known for their smooth Philly soul sound 😎❤️
Good dance song, been a big fan of Hall and Oates yay, good review by u guys 👌😎👍🎤🎸🥁🔥🔥 🔥
I play this song simply because of the intro…. Great evening song with the headset, or a late night drive under city lights🎵🎶🎷🎸💙
Their whole H2O album is hit after hit.
BJ was feeling that one...
