I hear this was based on Daryl's late girlfriend Sara Allen. I must say, I respect Daryl for continuing to perform this tune after her death. That takes balls, boys and girls. Nice job!
This is my faviort song by daryl Hall and john Oates my faviort by far like i said this was on the radio as a child and todays music irrates me but music 30 yrs was music todays is rubbish!
I have a friend who is like a daughter to me named Sara.But I have a newer friend through the internet named Sara. I certainly think of her these days when I hear this song. I must admit that my feelings for Dr. Sara are not what you would want to feel for a daughter. I think Hall and Oates would understand.[And I don't think they care what race they are, or I, or my Sara friends happen to be. Music is human. We are all human and all worthy of having a special Sara somewhere.] Greg Gibbs
Great voices and writers, wonderful duo and band that nobody actually hated in the 70's and even the 80's. They still do good stuff today...Todd Rungren another musicaql genius produced their first stuff...amamzing live too!!!
They say that God don't make mistakes but i don't know cuz these guys jam like they from the hood!!!! They are as black as they come!!!!! These dudes got soul!!!
OMG! I'VE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE I WAS A KID! LOL I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE SINGER WAS BLACK LOL. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL BLUE EYE'D SOUL....I LOVE HIS PERFORMANCE...HE SHOWS GREAT EMOTION AND LOVE THE HIGH NOTES, LOVE IT!!
@dickdog1 you must be gay or a little prude fuck cuz while you at home making you jack off hand numb to fool you self into thinking it's some one else the rest of us will be having sex
i've always known Darryl coz of his trademark falsetto voicing... too bad, looks like he's having a hard time hitting those range... nevertheless he still rocks!
@John22133 Yeah, you know...A guy who sings like a black person...When they first came out, 90% of black people assumed that they were black because of the music...
@Valkonnen I have to agree. I'm 41 and in my time(80s), H&O were pretty much all over MTV, so it's a visual thing with my gen, you think "two white guys". I can imagine though, if you're from the FM generation when they had all their big hits, no visual image to put with the face, if you close your eyes. . .man, the soul is undeniable. He really does have the voice of a traditional soul singer. Amazing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is what happens when artists do the same song to much. Vocals gives the impression that they just want to get through it to get to other material. Incredible song, but not so hot rendition.
True, and ditto on Brian's version. Monte Montgomery does an incredible solo acoustic guitar and vocal version as well. H&O classic all the way any version.
Awesome performance. The rendition changes with artists' age and mood and vision - the original is awesome, and so is this one. Daryl's artistry, 'Sara Please' at 1:50 - damn that is smooth. Wish I could have seen this live.
great vocals, don't hear great vocals much anymore, Kevin Cronin, Burton Cummings, Mickey Thomas, Darryl Hall, etc, still good muzik today, but just different.
really unfortunate chord situation they decided to end the song on... it sounds weird that way... also the sax player would have done much better to improvise on alto in this particular song... beautiful song tho...
I'm not an Oates expert but his mustache has been notoriously absent for some time now. I think there are jokes and contests about whether it will return or not. Koneko, thank you soooo much for uploading this one; I have been enjoying your other 1993-4 concert videos too -- you are obviously a careful and talented videographer WITH GREAT TASTE!!!
The moustache was purposeful, insomuch as they aged as musicians, John Oates could shave it off, looking instantaneously and miraculously youthful as his partner/nemesis Daryl aged within the public eye. Mr. Oates is a smart cat, indeed!
I know, it's a shame. He was the king of moustaches. But he's still a great artist, so I suppose it doesn't matter (even if the moustache looked amazing).
in the hood we didnt care what color u was ..... if your music was good we support it .. real talk..
