This song was in fact written about Daryl Hall’s life partner Sara Allen. She also was and has always been a huge part of the song writing team of Hall & Oates throughout their musical career. Daryl and Sara split up in 2001 after 30 years together but still remains the best of friends and still work together on music to this very day.
@@drewmole3713 Check your facts bro! Daryl Hall wrote this about his life partner Sara Allen! It’s documented! Don’t clap at me when you haven’t done your homework! Not only that smart ass! Daryl said so himself in VH1 BEHIND THE MUSIC! 🙄
It's hard to pick a favorite of their songs but it's between Sara Smile and Can't Go For That for me. Private Eyes is def #3. A very up tempo lit song that would be a great theme song for a detective show on TV starring Richard Pryor and Steve Martin as private eyeballs.
@@VinchenzoC Right with who? After being with a multi gajillion selling song writer and singer. Not saying she couldn't pull it off but next guy in line is no Darryl Hall.
This song gets better with age. What a singer D. Hall is. This is so romantic. Check out “Live at Darryl’s House” so many awesome performers jamming with him & his incredible band. ❤️✌️
Loved seeing Kenny Loggins on there. Such an amazing artist and he's got pipes. All people really know him for is a couple cheesy movie songs (still awesome but he's more than that).
Daryl Hall and Sara Allen although never married had a personal relationship that would end up lasting more than 30 years. Hall was inspired enough by his feelings for Allen that he wrote the highly personal song. "It was a song that came completely out of my heart. I've said it many times - it was a postcard. It's short and sweet and to the point" said Hall.
Jay n Amber, I hope you put all your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ the lover of our souls. The song LOVE IS THE ANSWER By England Dan and John ford Coley from 1979 was very good as well. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
This was Daryl and John's first Top 10 hit, in 1976. Some of their other biggest hits that you have yet to touch on are: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" (a remake of the Righteous Brothers song), "Private Eyes", "Maneater", "Family Man", "One on One", "Adult Education", "Method of Modern Love", "Everything Your Heart Desires", and "So Close". I'm really shocked you haven't done "Maneater" yet!
Beautiful song about his wife who was his gf at the time. This set it off for them. You can tell why this was all over R&B radio at the time. Major hit for them. So soulful!
My all-time favorite Hall & Oates song. When someone says, "blue-eyed soul", this song is the first that comes to my mind. It's such a smooth groove, great song.
“Whiskey drinking back porch type of music” - amen! Hall and Oates were just another band to me back in the 70s and 80s - radio music. I didn’t really get into them until the last 10 years or so. I know you already reacted to “She’s Gone”, but I still think it has one of the best lines ever - “I need a drink and a quick decision.” Classic for a smokey room and nice bourbon, neat.
Not sitting in a smokey room but AM sitting on my patio with a nice bourbon, neet (Col E.H.Taylor single batch). These guys get better with every listen…and I’ve been listening since 75, thanks to my older siblings.
It is about time! This song always takes me back to the first time I heard it as a 9th grader going on a class trip on a bus at 4 an and someone put this song on. As a black kid listening to them and the other black classmates singing along….I thought they were a black group. Blue eye soul at it’s finest!
You guys should react to more Hall & Oates… "Maneater", "Private Eyes", "Adult Education", "One on One", "It's a Laugh", "Wait For Me", "Did It In A Minute", "Family Man" 🎸🤘
Hands down their best song...I am surprised that's you are just now listening. I have watched many people react to this song and not only claim it's their favorite H&O song, but one of the best songs they have ever heard. I must have listened to it thousands of times since it came out...it never gets old. Top 3 of my all time favorites.
"Sara Smile" was their first single for RCA Records. They had just left Atlantic and Atlantic execs weren't happy. They did subsequently issue an edited version of "She's Gone" soon after this song went to the top.
This is definitely one of my FAVORITE Hall & Oates songs. It is so great. I have always loved Hall & Oates. They are just so cool and 100% talented as hell.
My favourite Hall and Oates song. After falling in love with this song, we named our first daughter Sarah. Vocals are outstanding. Perfection indeed. Glad you loved this. Love your hair Amber. 😍 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
This is one of their best. Also loved seeing Daryl Hall do a duet with Smokey Robinson on Sara Smile on Live At Daryl’s House. It’s a gem. Thank you for this.
Finally! 👍 This was all over the R&B radio stations when I was too young to understand it, to when I _was_ old enough, and it's still being played on the radio. 🙂 This is another that was always played at parties where the grown-ups would slow dance while the kids would watch and sometimes giggle, and sometimes would sway along to the music. This was played at school dances, too. Such good times. 🙂 You might want to hear their songs... "Adult Education" "One On One" "Possession Obsession" "Method of Modern Love" "Out of Touch" "Your Imagination" *Daryl's solo work* "Philly Mood" "Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You" "Cab Driver" Also, how about some *Ambrosia* ? Not the salad. 🙂 I think you reacted to one of their songs, but I don't recall it being "Biggest Part of Me". Such a beautiful and romantic song. Also, if you ever get the chance to meet Hall & Oates, or at least Daryl Hall, please don't say "blue-eyed soul" in front of him. He's said in a few interviews that he doesn't like the term at all. He said soul doesn't have a color, no matter if you're talking about skin color or eye color, soul is from within and shouldn't be labeled by a color. I think Boz Scaggs said something similar. Terms like that one and "chick flick" have really died down over the decades as many say they're outdated and offensive. 🙂
This song is still one of my favorites by Hall & Oatea!!! They sing it ALL Slow Jams like this one, Fast paced Jams . They are the definition of Blue Eyed Soul
Of all the Hall and Oates songs, this is one of my favorites. It is sad and encouraging and sad and happy (smiley). thx for hitting this slow song that means so much.
Amber no one will ever come close to doing better. Top selling pop duo of all time. Incredible song writers. Thank you both for your daily dose of positivity. This channel is a vibe
I think this is my favorite from them. Memories of this playing on the radio when this first came out in the mid 70s. You can tell the influence of the Philly sound.
This came out in June of 1976, and every dance I went to during my high school days played this song so we could dance real slow, and REAL close! Got quite a few kisses on the dance floor, thanks to music like this!
One of my faves of theirs. From sort of their first phase of success in the 70s. Do She’s Gone next. It’ll make your heads explode - in a great way! When I was in high school in 1981 we won a contest and they PLAYED AN ASSEMBLY during the school day. And soon after they had their 2nd round of success - shooting into the stratosphere
Y’all need to be slow dancing to this one. (Just grab her hand and slow dance from your chair) Hall and Oates, can’t go wrong with any of their songs!!
Hall and Oats are so Awesome!!! Sara smile is my favorite song by them, and your reaction as always was perfect. Thanks for bringing me up with this one. Love you guys!!
This was their first song to hit the radio and we were all stunned. And like the two of you, became instant fans. So good to see your reactions to such great great music!
There goes Rob Squad again playing one of my favorite sing along romantic 70's song... I've been listening to these since the 70's and glad you could join me loving it in 2022! :)
“One on One” came out when I was in my early teens and I used to think it was cheesy. Fast forward 40 years and it is definitely my favorite. It’s one of Daryl’s favorites as well 😀
Hall and Oates are a classic and timeless duo. I've always loved "One on One" and I could swear that it sounds better every time I hear it all these years later. It would be wonderful to see them react to it.
Absolute classic! From beginning to end brilliant compilation. Especially when the violins and other instrumental enters near the end of the song and lifts you to a new emotional level a la Motown.
This song was in fact written about Daryl Hall’s life partner Sara Allen. She also was and has always been a huge part of the song writing team of Hall & Oates throughout their musical career.

Correction Daryl and John Penned this masterpiece !

Yeah, she knew she could do better.
@@VinchenzoC Right with who? After being with a multi gajillion selling song writer and singer. Not saying she

YAY , my favorite song of theirs!!!!
MY FAVORITE SONG, By HALL & OATS ! Their greatest song.
This song gets better with age. What a singer D. Hall is. This is so romantic. Check out “Live at Darryl’s House” so many awesome performers jamming with him & his incredible band. ❤️✌️
Absolutely fantastic performances with some surprising guest performers. Love that show!
Definitely check out Daryl's house. Be warned..... rabbit hole.
My fav episode of Daryl's House is with Smokey Robinson -those two voices together. *chef's kiss
Loved seeing Kenny Loggins on there. Such an amazing artist and he's got pipes. All people really know him for is a couple cheesy movie songs (still awesome but he's more than that).
YES! Love "Live at Darryl's House"!!!!! Such fun!
Daryl"s mother was a voice teacher. She taught him well!
This song and She's Gone are, by far, my favorite H&O songs.
Slow dancing in the basement of friend's house. So smooth and harmonizing.
It’s that Philadelphia Soul ❤️
Daryl Hall and Sara Allen although never married had a personal relationship that would end up lasting more than 30 years. Hall was inspired enough by his feelings for Allen that he wrote the highly personal song.
"It was a song that came completely out of my heart. I've said it many times - it was a postcard. It's short and sweet and to the point" said Hall.
My all-time favorite Hall and Oats song.
One of best songs ever written. The vocals, the lyrics, the melody, the production . . . it's just perfection.
Jay n Amber, I hope you put all your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ the lover of our souls. The song LOVE IS THE ANSWER By England Dan and John ford Coley from 1979 was very good as well. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
I love that y'all have come to love Hall and Oates as much as we do.
What an awesome song

Oh they definitely need to do Maneater next 🔥
don't forget Rich Girl...
@@keithosmond5730 They reacted to Rich Girl last August.
Good list. I'd add Wait For Me and Did It In a Minute. 😁👍
Private Eyes! What a hit!!
This is Philadelphia Soul at its finest!
Beautiful song about his wife who was his gf at the time. This set it off for them. You can tell why this was all over R&B radio at the time. Major hit for them. So soulful!
I don't believe they ever married actually. ?
@@frauleinmona You are correct. They were together 20-plus years, but never married.
@@mzluna313 Thank you. I didn't think they ever got married.😊
Thanks for the correction ❤
@@bertisjordan1085 💖 I hope you don't think I was being rude. I didn't mean to be.😊🙏
Excellant Choice, Can never go wrong with Hall and Oates.
All these years later this song still gives me chills. Love Hall and Oates. Such a great duo and they've given us the best music over the years. ❤️
My all-time favorite Hall & Oates song. When someone says, "blue-eyed soul", this song is the first that comes to my mind. It's such a smooth groove, great song.
I loved this song when I was a kid. Every time I hear it it takes me back to the 70’s.
BEST DAM DUO NOTHING MORE TO SAY!!
When we were your age, Hall&Oats were on the radio all the time. Good listening!❤

Damn you got me wanting to go sit on my porch with some Maker’s mark now lol
Try telling me the 70s werent as good as the 80s lol YA RIGHT ... LOL SARA SMILE CAME OUT IN 1975 Baby
Sara smile is a 70s Part though ,, They only had a few big hits in the 70s But they are the most talked bout also Like Sara Smile and Rich Girl
i lke their 70s songs
It is about time! This song always takes me back to the first time I heard it as a 9th grader going on a class trip on a bus at 4 an and someone put this song on.

R & B legends period. ❤
This is my favorite Hall and Oats song!
The great Hall & Oates, enough said!
You guys should react to more Hall & Oates…

🎸🤘
Solid list. Wait for Me is pure 💰
@@colemitchell228 Well said. That song needs more love. Thank You.
They owned the eighties.

Hall and Oats never gets old...
"Sara Smile" was their first single for RCA Records. They had just left Atlantic and Atlantic execs weren't happy. They did subsequently issue an edited version of "She's Gone" soon after this song went to the top.
Really hard to pick a fave from Hall&Oats but this one has got to be in the top.
My favorite Hall and Oates song!
One of the coldest slow jams of the 70s for sure. JAM
Their first big hit & still my favorite song by them.
It's that Philly Soul sound that permeates Hall & Oates music. They're true Philly boys.
Remember in the 70's and all through the entire 80's this song played non-stop
70s Gold ..
And that is why it was so heavily requested!!
A lot of “groovin” has been done to this song for decades!!
Love your hair, Amber! Love this song!
Such a beautiful song !! His
voice is so smooth ….
Yes! This is probably my favorite Hall & Oats song! The mellow groove on this song is awesome!
This never gets old. I can listen to over and over. This is my favorite by them. I love their songs but this one is the best
This is definitely one of my FAVORITE Hall & Oates songs. It is so great. I have always loved Hall & Oates. They are just so cool and 100% talented as hell.
Bluesy for sure.....mellow and sensual.... Loving the new hair do...
this song still gives me goosebumps 💕
Hall and Oates...my heart and soul since I was 14...I'm 64 now...a class act!!!
Best song they ever did!
My favourite Hall and Oates song. After falling in love with this song, we named our first daughter Sarah.
Vocals are outstanding. Perfection indeed. Glad you loved this. Love your hair Amber. 😍

I enjoy playing Hall and Oates for the uninitiated and then show them their picture on this album cover. It’s universally mind blowing! ✌🏻
Yes it is!! 🤣😂🤣
Early Hall and Oats got it!!
She's Gone!!!
Slow dancing to this back in the day is my first memory that comes to mind.The best decade of music ever!!
hall is one of those that sing with soul the voice the passion just a great band
This is such a great song it lets you hear the yearning in Daryl’s voice!
They're still the top selling Duo of all time, it's wild to think about.
The simplicity of just wanting to see your significant other smile meant something. We must keep these vibes going today.
Yippie! I've been waiting for you to do this!
Thanks, Hall and Oates, for so many years of very fine music, and thanks to you two crazy kids!
Might be their greatest song. Those vocals are pitch perfect.
One of their first and best hits! The vocals and Philadelphia soul sound is amazing!👍🏻❤️🎤
One of my all time favorite songs - the lyrics are amazing.
This is one of their best. Also loved seeing Daryl Hall do a duet with Smokey Robinson on Sara Smile on Live At Daryl’s House. It’s a gem. Thank you for this.
"Blue Eyed Soul" - they are some of the best of that

This song was my introduction to Hall and Oates, and remains to this day, my favorite.
I think this is my favorite from them. Memories of this playing on the radio when this first came out in the mid 70s. You can tell the influence of the Philly sound.
Possibly, my favorite song of all-time! I saw them in the round doing an all acoustic show in Phoenix back in 1991 and it was RIDICULOUS!!
This was the first Hall & Oates song I ever remember hearing. After this, they just turned out hit after hit after hit throughout the 70s and 80s.
Ya but this was them 70s

Daryl's voice, ahhhh!
Well, this was gratifying! Finally! I've loved this song since I was 4 years old, and I knew you'd love it too! How could you not? It's perfection!
That is why the "Great" artists who make these memory generating ballads are so important to our American culture.
Oh this is such a sweet song. I think it's my fav H&O song. Jazzy and cool, romantic. Great vocals.
There goes Rob Squad again playing one of my favorite sing along romantic 70's song... I've been listening to these since the 70's and glad you could join me loving it in 2022! :)

Daryl Hall's vocal are really good. My favorite Hall & Oates song.
Classic Hall and Oates !
You are so right about one of the deepest catalogs of any group. Approaching 50 years of hits. Still together. Still touring....amazing duo.
Just a stunning song by two brilliant musicians and songwriter.
Absolute classic! From beginning to end brilliant compilation. Especially when the violins and other instrumental enters near the end of the song and lifts you to a new emotional level a la Motown.
I'm not creeping but I got to say, Amber you look fabulous. Good on you girl 😁💪🤚
This has always been my favorite song from them.
I named my daughter after this song. Loved it when I was a teenager.
What a time to be young and carefree with the best music ever recorded... the 70's.
This is my favorite Hall and Oates song. Thanks for reacting to this one. Love it!
This takes me back to the 6th grade when my young heart yearned for Marcus. I have tears in my eyes thinking of my youth.
