Hall & Oates Las Vegas Turnaround

Daryl Hall & John Oates (often shortened to Hall & Oates) are an American pop music duo who achieved their greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s. Both sing and are multi-instrumentalists. They specialized in a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul." Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write,[1] "at their best, [Hall & Oates'] songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock." On some tours and dates, established soul and blues artists were known to perform in the duo's band.
They are best known for their six #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch", as well as many other songs which charted in the Top 40. They last reached the pop charts top 40 in 1990 and slowly faded from public view, though they did not formally break up. They have continued to record and tour with some success. In total, the act had 34 singles chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. Hall and Oates have seven RIAA platinum albums, along with six RIAA gold albums.
A greatest hits compilation was released in 2001 by RCA/BMG. The BMG collection was expanded in 2004 and reissued the following year, after BMG merged with Sony Music Entertainment. In 2003, Daryl Hall and John Oates were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

We saw these guys this past summer (2011) in Vancouver at the Pacific National Exhibition for free and they played their guitars off. An excellent show, superb musicianship (both studied music at my alma mater, Temple University in Philly), and they played for 2.5 hours ... all their hits and near hits. God bless 'em :-)

I hear this poignant song playing in Wawa stores; an East Coast convenience-chain, and I linger whenever it's playing until it fades-out. Great song.

[boomerlady]

Goodness, I took this wonderful music for granted back in the day.....like it was just there for the taking....no appreciation of the genius behind it! Wonderful song....

[imyourgalfriday]

this album is so overlooked, and such a masterpiece.

not at all like their later pop hits, which i find quite juvenile.
