My baby Daryl looks like he is a bit "on something" but my goodness, I want some of what he had if that is what it does to you!! WOW!! Flawless vocals..........my goodness!!!
This version is much better than Paul Young's. The voice of Daryl Hall is outstanding, and the plus of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick wears the single incredibly.
Well, i know somthing of rock and ever think that Paul Young wrote this song. This was a HIT in Perú in the 80 but this version have more soul is no like POP sound. I ever think that with some exceptions the british singers are better than the americans but in this case H&O are better.
LOVE it! I wish I had saved my money and saw H&O in their prime..what was I thinking.....Paul Young did a great job...but, that was one of the two songs that were any good! "Where I lay my hat..that's my home"....was the other

That White boy can Sang right there... I don't care who you are... You have to admit that. That's some soul buried in there rather haters want to admit it or not...
Hall and Oates in their glory... I got the VHS tape for Christmas many years ago, still have it. It's kind of like Kiss Alive, they bring so much more to the table playing live. The "Voices" version does it no justice, the energy they bring to this in this performance gives it so much more dimension. To use a football term, Hall and Oates truly "left it all on the field" on this. Fabulous performance.
the psychedelic feeling he talks about at the start of the clip is perhaps because of all the LSD or mescaline in his system - i don't like this version anyways - Paul Young's is much better - no offense to temptations or GE
oh wait a minute, up top someone mentioned they did it in 82?! too bad there wasnt a version of that around. even so, they really didnt add it to their playlist until 88 and still perform it on occasion. also performed at Farm Aid later in 85 with all the band minus John and with the additon of Bonnie raitt and Billy joel!
This version was amazing! Im pretty sure it was the first time they ever played it live. It was around the time Paul young had a hit with it so they figured why not? Also the voices, pun intended, the classic Temptations there too, forget it! The axemanship of GE Smith on here was the icing on the cake! and the cherry on top? well somewhere toward the end of the song where theyre just groovin on it, David Ruffin gets so inspired he starts singing the lead!
Daryl is the writer of the song, so who eva made a hit on it...he gets the royalties!! not to mention Daryl is a great soulful singer in his own right!!!
Interesting that you suggest Hall & Oates "started" doing a song they recorded BEFORE Paul Young released it. Sure Young wrote which does in fact reflect HIS idea of how the tune should be performed. Truthfully I think MY version is just as good as this one. Different in that I am a singer/guitarist that includes a guitar solo in most of the tunes I do but I haven't had the good fortune to get to work with multiple vocalists very often. This is very good performance.
This is simple to understand why some people prefer Paul Youngversion and others Hall & Oates. Paul Young's version was in pop genre and Hall & Oates rock style.Some do pop others do rock.
I've always liked this song and I'm a big fan of Hall & Oates, but until today I NEVER knew that they did the the original. Now that I think about it though it does sound like their flavor. Paul Young did a beautiful job with it, however Daryl's vocals are freakin' amazing!!! I'm just sayin'...
Im with ya JessnLuke. .. Greatest time eva to Grow up. .. Due to these as well as the many Artists in that era which we Lived and Breathed Each day of our Lives. .. This made us who we are today. .. Much like the 'Smut' that kids listen too now days have attributed to Over Crowded Jails n Prisons. .
We werent Perfect. . Just more innocent . .. We were Kids and we Liked it
My angel baby Mac,sorry for being a bit clumsy recently,its only cos I love you,the words in this song are so true,wished you didn't have to go away,but it matters not,I whole heartedly understand .XXXXXX D.W.J.
I've seen H&O in concert three times within the last five years. It's great that they are still performing, but nothing compares to this performance. I was too young during this era to attend concerts, and wish I could have appreciated them live in their hayday. Daryl Hall was amazing!
And to think Fellow Philadelphia Native Todd Rundgren who also did his own Blue Eyed Soul earlier Produced and Directed their albums as his voice also sounded a lot like Daryl Hall's Voice when he was younger
I was 7 or 8 when this project was out. I really didn't know Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin, I was use to the Temptation line-up from the mid-80s. It wasn't until I became older and realized who they were that I saw how awesome this was for Daryl & John. Kendricks & Ruffin are Legends; The Temptations influenced EVERYONE! For John & Daryl to work w/ their idols in that way must have been an absolute blessing. They love soul and R&B so much and you can't get any better than that!
"Notice how they start doing this song live after Paul Young made it huge. I bet they wouldve completely bailed on it otherwise, since the original version was no where as good." Are you kidding? The original came out in '80, and they were playing it when I saw them in '82. The original version has so much soul--the organ/drums/bass at the start, building with a "Wall of Sound" approach. Paul Young's version was more commercially accessible, sure. The original though--a monument of pop/soul.
@walstib77 Absolutely. They never stopped playing this song, it's the original one. I think we have to thank Paul Young for bringing the song for bigger audience, in Europe. Even Hall & Oates had/have fans in Europe, anything wasn't as big until Paul Young broke through. Imo, from European point of view, people then realized that this is a hell of a good song and its original was even better. Sometimes covering songs make people see things as they are. Hall & Oates got more fans. Good for them!
@bobbarita I think you completely missed my post--it was a reply to someone who was saying the Paul Young version is better. Wipe yer OWN ass, I was givin Hall and Oates props. I been a fan since Sara Smile same out in 76.

@sarasmilepiano Imagine, not many white people couldn't play at Apollo. It has interesting history. What comes to The Temptations, damn they were good! Papa was a rolling stone is pure deep soul, especially long version. It makes me very humble. I love these men. So underrated.
OMG, I recorded this onto video tape back in the 80's and never thought I'd see it again!!! I watched it so many times back then I know all the ad libs... thanks so much for the teenage flashback : )
amazing voice and amazing song... but just on a side note... were they drugged or on medication? coz looking at their eyes i can kinda tell they were on something...
Hall & oates have some of my favorite songs...Yeah he's high as a kite here..And its sad to see Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin of the temptations used here as backup singers...It was near the end of their lives...I'm not sure of the date of this concert.but I know it was near the end for them.
For the morons who don't google before they comment, let me school you. The song is originally written and performed by Hall & Oates. The reason they are with two of the Temptations at this performance is cuz it was a special at the Apollo Theater. They also performed Temptations hits together. The whole concert was amazing.
I played a show with Daryl Hall and instantly fell in love with Hall & Oates!!!! Would love to play with him again, I posted videos on my page go watch!
@bcfcyouknowsit UHH... NO! It is the other way around! Go listen to some Justin Beiber or Bebeier or however the hell you spell that little fags name!
I don't really know why and do still wonder why, but every single time I've ever heard this song it's brought tears to my eyes, right from the first time I heard them do it live in Poughkeepsie, NY.
david ruffin was a real junkie and he died from what I have read while the tour was on break when he was in the ghetto of new york trying to by dope and was robbed and killed they said he had over 5 grand in his fannie pack now why would you be in ghetto with that kind of money on you???????
RIP T-Bone ...you're a huge reason why I love Hall and Oates since my childhood....you were always just as important and I know Hall and Oates would agree
Wikipedia says that Darryl quit working with Ruffin because of Ruffin's drug problem. Either way did anyone see G.E. Smith getting it at like 6:50? Talk about "Do it to death"!
One of the best versions i've ever heard.Love them. As for Paul's version, it's only a different style of interpretation. You won't get tired listening to this version but you might with Paul Young's.
Hall's vocals at this time were probably at their best, and don't forget he was singing like this live without any studio prodution help. I think he lost a bit of his top end range with age but man, what a singer this guy is. Tracks like this when he is in full flow make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
Just off topic a bit. Daryl said that Ruffin had demanded cash for this concert and as soon as it was finished a limo whisked him away to a crack house, he died not long after this concert, such a tragic waste of talent, great song by the way.
david should've demanded cash he did some work this is in '85 at the apollo when daryl invited david on stage to do some temptation songs and david didnt die until six years after this concert and between the time david did many more concets so shutup
What the hell are talking about you idiot?, the show was orginised by Hall and Oates to showcase the former members of The Temptations and Ruffin And Kendricks were part of the show, the four had been friends since the 60s when Hall had his own group called The Temptones named after his favourite group, the concert was planned along with an album "Live At The Apollo", you don't know jack shit so go away and learn about Hall and Oates and then come back and tell me you were wrong
That's amazin! Well done that Singer. I liked Private Eyes, Maneater and the Family Man one, too. The 80s was a great time for popular music!

@bcfcyouknowsit Daryl Hall wrote and recorded this song on the 1980 Voices album. Paul Young literally stole without permission in 1985.

@sabomnim628 NO you go and listen to Tommy Cooper singing Dont Jump Of The Roof Dad
H and O didnt steel Tommys song because they dont have the vocal range needed.

I don't really know why and do still wonder why, but every single time I've ever heard this song it's brought tears to my eyes, right from the first time I heard them do it live in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Wikipedia says that Darryl quit working with Ruffin because of Ruffin's drug problem. Either way did anyone see G.E. Smith getting it at like 6:50? Talk about "Do it to death"!

One of the best versions i've ever heard.Love them. As for Paul's version, it's only a different style of interpretation. You won't get tired listening to this version but you might with Paul Young's.

Hall's vocals at this time were probably at their best, and don't forget he was singing like this live without any studio prodution help. I think he lost a bit of his top end range with age but man, what a singer this guy is. Tracks like this when he is in full flow make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Just off topic a bit. Daryl said that Ruffin had demanded cash for this concert and as soon as it was finished a limo whisked him away to a crack house, he died not long after this concert, such a tragic waste of talent, great song by the way.
BIGSOULMAN1 2 years ago
david should've demanded cash he did some work this is in '85 at the apollo when daryl invited david on stage to do some temptation songs and david didnt die until six years after this concert and between the time david did many more concets so shutup
Slimhost216 1 year ago
What the hell are talking about you idiot?, the show was orginised by Hall and Oates to showcase the former members of The Temptations and Ruffin And Kendricks were part of the show, the four had been friends since the 60s when Hall had his own group called The Temptones named after his favourite group, the concert was planned along with an album "Live At The Apollo", you don't know jack shit so go away and learn about Hall and Oates and then come back and tell me you were wrong
