I remember when Hall and Oates came out with Sara Smile, released as a single 4 times before it finally took off. They had a silver foil album cover and everyone in college radio swore they must be gay and would have nothing to do with them... until they hit it big!
Is it a Star?

What gibberish. Where Mudede lurks, can buffoonery be far afoot?

Oates is Mediterranean? I thought he was black Irish.

Sara Smile is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

I saw these guys last year at the Society for Human Resource Management (pronounced, "sherm" -- I shit you not) annual conference in San Diego. There were several thousand screaming mid-level HR professionals in attendance, meaning that the predominant demographic (a pleasantly lumpy woman in her mid-40s) swooned and sang along with every single song. Daryl Hall was stoned out of his mind. They rocked out with everything they had.

I went for the irony, but it ended up being one of the best concerts I've seen in a while.

Daryl's House is such a great coda to an amazing career. Really classy. Love it.

Saw them last year at the Puyallup Fair, they were awesome! @7 - my husband was with me (not a fan really at all, a wee bit younger than me & missed their heyday) but still says it was one of the best shows he's ever seen as well!

One of the few "white" groups from the 70s that could sing soul like they were the descendent's of "abused" slaves.

But they were always being stuffed into other genres that they were not. Rock,Disco,funk,jazz and or even country they were not and were never but as for soul they should should have a soul city award.
