What's Going On (1991) - Hall & Oates

[saxman44060]

I know what's going on is fire! this is hot, feel the flame Hall and Oats burning down the barn.

[PaTudie]

Blue Eyed Soul.....Extroardinare!!!!!! Excellent....2nd Best Version EVER and these guys would agree. Second ONLY to Marvin.

[pippimoon4one]

my favorite..once and once again... ;-)

[mashomegula]

Marvin would have been the ultimate guest for Daryls' House !

[terry6martin]

My fave duo!

[urfunked]

These guys are incredible, they get better with age if that's even possible in this industry. They can take any song from any era and you would swear it's their own song. Best white soul band I've ever heard.

[faces1m]

Whats going on Mojo Gala Girl?

[teddyrailroad]

daryl and the marvelous marvin...WOW...what a combo...thanks

[sc3ot1ti1e]

I would love too see hall and Oates this year, so far they are only touring in Australia and newzealand I think

[jwazzz2]

Way past time for them to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. They, much like this song, have more than stood the test of time.

[4bawbees]

of all the soul acts I've ever seen live, and that includes stevie wonder and the late-great-marvin himself, hall & oates have been consistently brilliant on every level.

[jli95]

They are just fantastic! My favorite group of all time. Why are they not in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? Someone please explain to me what's going on!

[ricopangilinan2000]

Great Rock and Soul by Hall and Oates. Terrific singers blended well with Soul songs.

[mico16]

OMG ! fabulous ! :)



[lucy661000]

They should just remake all songs, that would work for me :)

[snootzie78]

What can I say?  Awesome! Just awesome!

[denniscollatos]

John sounds great on this song...

[Mynewykr]

This is one of the best of the best

[cupacoffeemate]

one of my fave versions! Next to Robert Palmer, Hall& Oates W/Sing Like Talking, and of course Marvin the magnificent :)

[jlindholm19]

He's called Mr Casual for a reason...lives up to his rep, lol

[jlindholm2000]

The sax player is Charlie Dechant

[katyrus100]

@jlindholm2000 Thank you. How talented is he??? xoxo

[pungooer]

Great sax player.....

[mdandrea39]

This arrangement is spectular the music and singing blend so well ...Nice touch using several acoustic guitars. I love the saxophone ..Daryl Hall and John Oats are smooth.

This is a nice way to keep Marvin Gaye 's spirit alive.

[mann8942]

This is not music.....this is magic destillation on the making...tks x 1000 for posting.

[BabsTen]

Oh my god ... I love this version !!!!! And i love this guys

[marokokisetter]

so john oates had his mustache in '91.. and in '95 it was not present.. so in between that time he decided to keep with modern times.. hmm

[MrShooter16]

John Oates has something sexy... I'm not gay!

[flipnsac]

I like when John hits that high falsetto at 3:15. These guys are fantastic muscicians. RIP T-Bone. Love your work.

[manwomanboogie]

Darryl Hall stated that this is his favorite song of all time, and dedicated such beautiful words to Marvin. He, John and the gang did this song justice and Marvin is smiling.

I have always loved Hall and Oates...my favorite song of theirs is Sara Smile and they have loads and loads of Hits...

i think of My Mother everytime i hear Sara Smile- I miss u Mommy...

[BRICKHARRELL007]

oh MARVIN...If you only knew what`s goin` on today. We are in ROYAL MESS

[MrShooter16]

Music with this kind of emotions in the 80s or/to 90s is great!

[blasty109]

@am73ttbl -give us a break - yeah is Marvins song - but H&O still do a nice job . the soul in it is a white thang for sure but these guys do it well . I think Dazza goes on a bit too much in the middle - but the slickness and sound is pretty good "pretty fly for a white guy ' LOL !!!!!

[lashay1980]

Was it just me or did it seem like the camera kept aiming higher where only the top of John's head was showing! Hysterical - he was trying boy, good grief he was short, but cute!

[dandel2112]

I think that these guys sound great, Robert Palmer also does a cover of Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You thats sound great.

[cupacoffeemate]

@dandel2112 Love Robert Palmers version too, also go to Hall & Oates with Sing Like Talking,,,,mercy mercy me...it's awesome too!

[am73ttbl]

Why do white guys wanna keep on doin' black things? This sounds like shit. This is a Marvin song... Not his.. This has no soul at all.

[cupacoffeemate]

@am73ttbl . Music is universal...don't pull out the race card...good grief...we all got soul baby, don't matter the race w/music....

[n8tureboy]

@am73ttbl

Comments like this one just serve to antagonize and perpetuate a division. I don't understand your comment at all. These men are paying tribute to the great singer M Gaye and you're dissing them. It makes no sense?

The original is always going to be the best but let's admit that these guy's do it justice too.

[ceeceedeecee]

Nice!....and with the extra bonus of Kasim Sulton on bass--one of the best there is! Can't believe he wasn't mic'd ---the guy can really sing.

[n8tureboy]

LOVE the Sax in this song.

[simone33ization]

Uau....são 11:43hs in Lisbon..... acordar e já ouvir uma grande voz desta.....So great! I love it! Wonderful voice Daryl.....

[sputtersong]

Maybe one of my favorite too D> awesome ren!!! Truly!!!

[falaing]

I am stunned...nicely interpreted this classic in the H+O special way!

Thanks!

[LVMaddy]

Dear Make a Wish Foundation. My dream is to run my hands through Daryl's hair.

[amd77j]

I love covers and Hall and Oates simply rock live!!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[JanVA2755]

Hi!

Smooth as silk Mr. Oates! I love your voice and when you and Daryl Hall combine your voices...not many things musically any better!

Type to you later! God Bless!

Jan in VA

[SuddenSparkles]

Far too many of you dying... find a way to bring back loving here today. War is not the answer. Amen. This is H&O at its best, in full balance. Love the always super Tom guitar licks around 2:35-2:55. Glad I specified guitar there.

[mtbiker19438]

When you are from Philly anything is possible!

[lilyofthevalley7]

I believe the late great "Marvin Gaye" would have been

proud & honored the way they sang this song!

What Is Going On?

[TheBeckybrownsc]

wait who died?

[Starlitblond]

@TheBeckybrownsc .. the guy in the hat who does most of the great guitar work... they were doing a show at the end called "LiveatDary'shouse".. a great loss..

[Starlitblond]

I'm still in shock... now what is Hall going to do without him....

[flytommy1]

I feel the same, still can't believe T is gone. So young and talented. My heart feels for Daryl and John. RIP Tommy T-Bone Wolk..God Bless.

[Starlitblond]

oh my god....

I can't believe T died...

I take two blood pressure medications ... fuck... I loved him...

[orbeyed]

Yes, he died a week ago today. I am still very depressed over his passing. What a loss.

[Ltmit]

T-Bone will be badly missed by all!

[orbeyed]

RIP T-Bone. 1951-2010

[Starlitblond]

@orbeyed .. what..

[Starlitblond]

oh my god... I just fell in love again...

[carolloveskiwis]

One of the best songs written ever especially the meaning behind the words. And well, Daryl singing, takes it up a notch to Heaven! Thanks for posting!

[flytommy1]

God I love you Daryl.  Sing it brother..Pure soul.

[grover12able]

SEATTLEGRL1 I resemble that remark! What's wrong with 60-ish?

[ikeeptime]

Nice accents on phrases that were understated on the original. Good sax work and an overall tasteful arrangement. 1st rate.

[gardner631]

is there anything that these guys can't do? they are so amazing and they sing with such soul and meaning you feel every word. one of the best covers of this song i've ever heard!

[Smokinret]

@gardner631 They are great! Daryll looks great here.

[SuperJnielsen]

@gardner631 some of the best musicians around. Unbelievable.. I was fortunate to see them in Denver right before T-Bone passed and met him in the Denver airport. What a nice man.. So very sad. Great group of musicians.

[SEATTLEGRL1]

He is the hottest American singer around even if he is 60-ish now.

[Dipso1985]

Brilliant. How good does Daryl Hall's voice sound in this !!!

[SEATTLEGRL1]

It's called "soul".

[bekiblu]

lovely. mr gaye is happy! beautiful song. our lovely marvin does it better, of course. nice to see though. mercy, mercy me was my fav.

[cwright2be]

This makes me smile inside and out! Beautiful...not that you'd expect any less from Hall & Oates.

[76alembic]

Great cover of a classic Motown, Marvin Gaye song. Nice work on this .Blued soul at its finest.Very nice acoustic bass work.

[flytommy1]

Hall and Oates, my very favorite.  Every song they sing is just paradise. We will never see anything like this again. Priceless, timeless. White soul, and such passion. God Bless.

[Lesli2]

ive never heard this being sung by hall and oates, wow this blew me away, very very nice.

[flytommy1]

glad you loved it! more to come!

[dyinbreedband]

can you tell me if this concert is on a dvd?

[thebeefyscrew]

I think Marvin would be happy with this............ R.I.P Mr.Gaye.

[catrod24]

Awesome!

[noworlater]

Just two talented guys doing what they do best!!!! making great music!!!!!

[jwazzz]

No one can touch Marvin on this one - that being said, Daryl and John knocked this out of the park. Check out "Mercy, Mercy Me" from Japan - also goose bump inducing.

[recovering16]

Everyone always comments about how cute Daryl Hall is. What about John Oates? Doesn't anyone else like shorter, well-built, mustachioed, darker types?

[JanVA2755]

Hi!

Hey, I think John Oates is a wonderful singer/songwriter/musician ...even without the mustache!!! GRIN! Live well and long John and Daryl!

Type to you later! God Bless!

Jan in VA

[SandyCou]

Ok, that's it... After being a H&O fan for over 30 years, I really HAVE to see them live at least once. :) Great performance; love their harmonies.

[NGdetroit]

Re: One of my Favorites as well! "Can't we all just get along?"...

[nikos1393]

good cover!!!

[SuddenSparkles]

War is not the answer... only love can conquer hate!

Peacetime rally cry.

[dianel42]

Thank you... this is just lovely..

[tamarw1]

You keep suprising me. Do you have something else in your vault. I thank you for posting this song, I Enjoyed it. suprise me with something else.

[SPTO]

Wow very very good cover. Thanks for sharing.
