The Song was Written by Stan Vincent for the Five Stairsteps. An example of a Hall & Oates song that was popularized by another Musician would be Everytime you go Away. Which they originally wrote in 1980 for their album Voices, although the song did not reach prominence until Paul Young covered it in 1985.

On the five stair steps version to me it sounds like a love song yet this version sounds to me like a father who hasn't seen his kid and is trying to make a connection again

This is the song that made me come out of the closet and tell my parents, "Mom, dad, I'm gay."

the original might be "better" but this is done with respect and love.

@Instantextra it's not inferior Daryl & John are paying tribute to their roots they also covered the Stylistics You Are Everything which Daryl actually sings back up on the original record 33 years earlier

There really was no point in remaking a song that was already perfect. Do we really need an inferior version? I'm sure it feels good to cover such a great song, though. I don't blame 'em. Maybe this will lead more people to the Five Stairsteps.

@Tauxedo Didn't come to prominence"? I guess you weren't around to know just how awesome this song was in 1972. One of the best to come out of that memorable year. Just sayin'.

I liked this song on Bridge To Terabithia it was good when the teacher sang it.

@kenndogg51 Hey everyone, thanks for all your support. It has been 2 years since I have officially come out of the closet and told my parents, "Mom, dad, I'm gay." and I haven't looked back since!

@controversyking WTF dude? It wasn't me who brought race into this, it was you. When I say "vanilla," I am referring to the rather bland, dumbed-down presentation of the song. In comparison to the emotionally-infused delivery by the Steps, H&O pale. And I am an H&O fan, but this isn't their best work. Leave your race sensitivity at home. I'm white and my band does this song, I don't think that has anything to do with race

@controversyking Dear God, It wasn't me who brought race into this, it was you. When I say "vanilla," I am referring to the rather bland, dumbed-down presentation of the song. In comparison to the emotionally-infused delivery by the Steps, H&O pale. And I am an H&O fan, but this isn't their best work. Leave your rave sensitivity at home. I'm white and my band does this song, I don't think that has anything to do with race
