Hall & Oates "Private Eyes" 81MVid.flv

You can hear it on the radio, but HERE'S THE VIDEO from '81 for this great classic song. (Perfect beat for roller skating too:) The video of the Private Eyes title track was the first to feature the best-known version of the duo's signature backup band -- guitarist G.E. Smith, bassist Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, drummer Mickey Curry, and saxophone/keyboardist Charlie DeChant (nicknamed "Mr. Casual" by the band). Interestingly, the actual bass lines for the Private Eyes album were credited on the album (and its 2004 reissue) to Wolk's predecessor in the band, John Siegler. Wolk would join the band full-time for the H2O sessions, as would Curry, who had split drumming duties with Jerry Marotta for Private Eyes.

... "Private Eyes is the 1981 hit album from blue-eyed soul duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. It stands not only as a definitive album for the duo, but as a notable album for the music of the decade combining pop, rock, R&B and soul genres. Though the act had hit the upper reaches of the Billboard charts with "She's Gone," "Sara Smile," and "Rich Girl", the group didn't return to major mainstream success until they released a cover version of The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" on its 1980 album, Voices. The heavy airplay eventually led to the duo's first Number One hit in four years, the Voices release, "Kiss on My List" in early 1981.
As the liner notes to the 2004 Private Eyes reissue indicate, it was while Daryl Hall and John Oates were recording the follow-up album in their adopted hometown of New York City, during the spring of 1981, that "Kiss On My List" went to Number One in three trade publications. Determined to follow up on their success, the duo produced Private Eyes assisted by their co-producer Neil Kernon. * Produced By Daryl Hall, John Oates, & Neil Kernon * Mixed & Engineered By Neil Kernon"
