Hall & Oates are gettin' it on again. The great songwriting and performing duo that hit big in the 1970s and 1980s are back in a pretty big way (read below), though they never really stopped performing individually. They were always up to their solo things, most recently with Darryl Hall's Live from Darryl's House (which is a pretty cool view).Their press kids write: "From the success of the we...

Hall & Oates - Live At The Apollo [1985]"Hall & Oates resurrected the fading careers of ex-Temptations stars David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. H&O took them on tour, paid them regularly, and arranged a record deal for them with RCA, but the relationship soured for unknown reasons.

Hall & Oates "Beauty on a Backstreet" was pretty much shunned by FM radio upon release in '77, hell - according to wikipedia - the duo themselves even dislike it...but you know what? If I could pick only one original studio recording out of their catalogue, this is it. Not only does it feature their "blue-eyed soul" in perfect patented form, it featuers a bare-bones band format - with the guita...

So, though I was initially excited when our buddy dermahrk expressed a desire to hear some of the Todd Rundgren produced/ Utopia backed production, I felt myself shrinking from ...

No, no....not that. But, maybe some of you are thinking, "Hall & Oates? Can't you find some serious music??" Well now, lemmee tell ya, prior to them finding that big glossy pop sound that had a majority of housewives across the continent mirror-dancing, these guys made some real decent records. The girls in college were real big on that silver album that had "Sara Smile" on it, and when somethi...
