My dad passed away this past September, and he used to sing this to me all the time. He loved this song and Sara by Fleetwood Mac, and that's why I'm named Sara. 💜
Every instrument in this take, including Daryl's voice, is perfection. Easy to overlook the lead guitar and keys but everything is there with such nuance
@@tatiehill9055 yes you are right but Daryl is the lead vocalist who you hear most of the time so that is why I highlighted him. John for sure is half of the duo
I'am a 82 baby born from teenage parent's born in 64/66 and all the 60's/70's music is what i was raised on and my mother LOVED THIS SONG AND GROUP SO much that's all i heard. She was even in a band and they covered this song. Fast forward to dec 2008 and she passed away. On the third day after her passing this song randomly came on the radio as a throwback and ALL I HEARD WAS HER VOICE!! Singing the song so when she passed i made sure this song was playing at her viewing and till this day, everytime i listen to this song ALL i hear is her voice singing it. ♥ ♥ ♥
This song always makes me simultaneously smile & cry from nostalgia sweet childhood ❤ memories of rollerskating to their heartfelt soul vibes songs at age 15 in '82. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you Daryl Hall & John Oates for creating timeless music.🎵
I look at kids today and the world they are growing up in. It makes me feel sad that they missed times where we had beautiful music to listen to. Not that there haven't always been bad times but, just sitting around vibing to tunes like these with your friends laughing, dancing, and having innocent fun was a great time.
Just saw this for the first time. INCREDIBLE!!!! BEST LIVE VERSION of any Hall & Oats song bar none. This is one of my favorite music videos I have ever seen or heard.
i love how people can capture feeling, love ...this is why we listen to music, not to hear technique but to know someone is feeling the same thing like a friend who understands you so well
Fuck! This nails it for me, man! This is is exactly how I feel about music but have NEVER known how to describe it. I actually have always thought of Rolling Stones songs as friends but never thought of it on a wider scale. Thanks! Be well😊
It was one night in 1975 or 76 when I saw Hall and Oates in Dallas. They hadn't hit the big time yet and were preforming two shows in a night club here. I went to the late show alone coz I couldn't find anyone who knew enough about them to join me. So glad that I did. They were one of the tightest bands I have ever seen. Daryl on keys, John on lead guitar and Charlie Dechant on sax. So much so that the guy next to me at the bar who was a cowboy looking guy and who was there only to drive his fiancee home from work (she was a waitress). He ignored the band for about three songs with his back to the stage. On the fourth song or so, he tapped me on the shoulder and asked; "who are these guys?" He was grooving/dancing to Hall and Oates for the rest of their set. That's how good they are. I've seen them three or four times over the years and have never been disappointed.
I listen to all kinds of music from Pantera to Marty Robbins, Outkast to Chic, Bach to Bill Haley. If this music doesn’t move you, you must be pretending to like music. True classic!
This song is truly TIMELESS!! It NEVER gets old!! "BABY hair,with a womans EYES. If you feel like leaving,you know you CAN go. But why don't you stay...until tomorrow. If you wanna' be"free",you know,all you gotta DO is---------SAY so." That's right,don't try to"make"nobody stay with you!! I was playing this last year,in the basement,and my 73 year-old mother was like:"Hey,"Sarah Smile"is from MY day!!"
I truly feel sorry for the younger generations who are growing up in terrible times...in a digital age that is eroding quality of life. It all started to go wrong in 1999.
Gosh, they were both so young and beautiful here! One of my favorite groups of all time, I adore them! Something about this song breaks my heart just a little bit…
My favorite Hall and Oates song of all and Darryl is killing it on the vocals!! John was such a stud!!! Great voice and harmonies. Perhaps my favorite version.
I think people that weren’t born in the 70s,80s, and very early 90s don’t get how ugly the world truly is right now. Things like music bring me back and unfortunately don’t make happy they make me yearn for these times. There’s always been war and financial ruin but nowadays everything on top of those things are totally flipped upside down and nothing makes sense anymore.
I remember when I was much younger than I am - they had the Midas touch in the late 70's and earlier 80's - everything they did turned to gold! I still love their music! Icons NEVER fade away.
These guys have soul. They just might have make it some day, as long as they stay true to their roots, and not get caught up in that trying to write a top 40 hit stuff.
Music was so great back then. I always loved Hall & Oats.being a young person when this came out. My friends and I knew all the songs that played on the radio. Not just soul music.
I knew the actual Sara this song is written about… I knew her as Sandy. She was in my acting class on Central Park West in NYC. She was a lovely woman and the song is just beautiful…
Utterly brilliant. Absolutely, profoundly beautiful. Lucky, lucky Sara Allen, to be the inspiration for this incredible song, to know that magnificent voice is singing to you.
@@ukmary1968 I can believe that. I think Sara Smile is the most beautiful love song ever written, and I think that One on One is the sexiest love song ever written. Pure love in one, utter longing in the other. Put Daryl Hall’s voice to those songs and I’m in another dimension.
Self-sacrifice, like forcing yourself to get up early, stay up late, and put in the hours working or studying instead of playing is what "Soul" is made of. Some cities have more of this than others.
Daryl Hall and John Oates cross barriers with their music.. When they came out they shot straight to the top. They got more hits as a duo threat but this time has an affect on you.. I was scared to put this song as one my many karaoke songs but one night it hit why not.. This one guy would always do it and it kind of rude to sing someone signature song but I thought go for it. Last night it was packed bar and rough and guys just wanted a piece of that song as they gathered close to the mic. Yeah these guys normally rowdy just mellowed out and partook it the song. Yes that’s the magic of Hall and Oates and their many hits. As proof this group have saved many a relationship with the beauty brand of music. Oh yeah Daryl’s House is amazing creation..He brings singers to the house gives them an open house, gourmet meal and live performances with that singers .. Don’t believe check it out.. One of the greatest duo groups of all time. LB September 2021
as a child hearing this song, i did not appreciate his great voice but i was bewildered and impressed at the same time by him for conveying a range of feeling that i could not understand but it was another one of those adult secrets
Holding that note and all that falsetto competing with band Heatwave -Always and Forever. Same Era. So good. Where's the dudes that can blow like this anymore?
My favorite part is so simple & understated “ make me feel like a man, keeping me from being crazy crazy smile a while for me”. Idk why that part hits my heart to tears every time. Perhaps it’s the register change to his lower tone before rising again. Right in the heart chakra
Can I be transported back in a time machine to a period where everything was beautiful..
Me too!! I use to listen to this on cassette in my sister's dorm room when she went to stay with her now husband!! Around 1974
I’d buy a ticket to ride on that trip, too.
Agreed. Such a beautiful song.
I'll beam you in here, where I am, right now. Just for a brief time though.
Yeah.. that period of time was the best
Just imagine for one minute……What if music nowadays was as good as this…..
theres actaully alot. you dont have to be pompous to like this song
corny comment
@@Gjd94 In your very humble opinion…..pathetic
Everything would be so horny
My dad passed away this past September, and he used to sing this to me all the time. He loved this song and Sara by Fleetwood Mac, and that's why I'm named Sara. 💜
❤❤❤❤ beautiful Sara! Thanks for sharing. My beloved Grandma 👵🏾 was named Sarah 😊
Your dad probably kissed you on the lips and touched you at night as well😂😂😂
Bless him. What a guy
To God Be The Glory! 🙏
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
Hold that note Daryl…. DAMN IT , MAN!!!!! LEGENDS/ ICONS
Legends
Didn't he hold that note!!!
22 seconds!😮🔥🔥🔥
@@warickrichardson9518 I checked the same damn man wild
He snapped then lol
The last 2 people I would have never believed would break up. Hall & Oates.
fr😢
Exactly! 😐
What about Batman and Robin?
My dear cat (Sarah) died a month ago and I miss her so much. I LOVE the song Sara Smile by Hall & Oakes !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Every instrument in this take, including Daryl's voice, is perfection. Easy to overlook the lead guitar and keys but everything is there with such nuance
And Oates' voice? Don't ignore it. Hall and Oates wouldn't be Hall and Oates without Oates.
@@tatiehill9055 yes you are right but Daryl is the lead vocalist who you hear most of the time so that is why I highlighted him. John for sure is half of the duo
i dont even like h&o, but i love this.
@@tatiehill9055
not ta mention his mushstache . . . ridden by many women . . .
@@mikepetrie5851 ha ha. Well of course, it looks like a well groomed, well ridden mustache. Lol
💜This song gets better with time! Even as a teenager in the 1970-80s, Hall & Oates touched my soul with every song!!
just outstanding
@@MultiWayland …🥰Yes!!
D'accordo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too!
Me too
Now thats some real soul singing there and he can still blow till this day.

Just enjoy it. Nothing more exciting and entertaining than the classics.

Woe! That's sobering lol
The best music..simpler times
My Birthday 🎉 I'm 58.😊
Damn the way Daryl could hold a note back then was unreal!! 👍🏽❤️🙏🏽
That was Daryl, not John
Daryl has an amazing voice. Simply the best
Smooth as silk, agreed.
This is what bands sound like when they set up their kit and just play. Such a breath of fresh air.
Stunning vocal performance from Daryl Hall. Amazing!
He's Hot, hot, hot
I dunno, I think he kinda overdoes it in this version.
@@user-zb9lv3gh8skinda is an understatement. He's full choir boy mode

One of the greatest love songs ever written and sung.
He held that got darn note!!! And that bassist , I hear you my guy. Yessuh!!!
Buy the album
Kids, the 70’s were damn fun.
Yes indeed
I will forever love this song!
From 2020 to 2023, would listen to this song constantly. Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.
I am 20 years old and this song is top quality. the vocals are so chill, 10/10
Listen to great music......
Wow...that's some real BLUE EYED SOUL..LOVE IT
Just saw this for the first time. INCREDIBLE!!!! BEST LIVE VERSION of any Hall & Oats song bar none. This is one of my favorite music videos I have ever seen or heard.
It's dam sexy!
I agree. My love for these two guys runs deep. Simply put, they were one of the best singing duos of all time! And they wrote their own music!!
i love how people can capture feeling, love ...this is why we listen to music,
not to hear technique
but to know someone is feeling the same thing
like a friend who understands you so well
Fuck!
This nails it for me, man!
This is is exactly how I feel about music but have NEVER known how to describe it.
I actually have always thought of Rolling Stones songs as friends but never thought of it on a wider scale.
Thanks!
Be well😊
He didn't have to hit us with that "Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh~~~~" though.
My soul wasn't ready...🤩🤩🤩Darryl H. was not for play-play.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Authentic cheese
He pours it on like velvety chocolate syrup
Pure soul!

They tore that up. I love the unpredictability of Darryl Hall and the band is right with him.
Hall& Oats. Blue eyed Brothers. They tore this song up
I listen to all kinds of music from Pantera to Marty Robbins, Outkast to Chic, Bach to Bill Haley. If this music doesn’t move you, you must be pretending to like music. True classic!
H&O were never really my jam, but watching this… I gotta respect the musicianship all the way around. But Daryl Hall’s voice is one for the ages. Wow.
I’m 27 and this been my song since I was 16. A classic! ❤
My dear friend Eddie Zyne on drums! R.I.P., Eddie.
not really energetic back there
Oh, the harmonies..... 👌🏼
This song is truly TIMELESS!! It NEVER gets old!! "BABY hair,with a womans EYES. If you feel like leaving,you know you CAN go. But why don't you stay...until tomorrow.

The original blue-eyed soul-He’s sanging!!!! Philly (Suburban PA) representing!
God damn soul singer right there.
RIP Bobby, my beloved big brother. You sang this to us with such accuracy sounded just like this. These two were very beautiful.
Nostalgically beautiful and I can't help but reminisce when I hear this masterpiece!
that note was impeccable
I truly feel sorry for the younger generations who are growing up in terrible times...in a digital age that is eroding quality of life. It all started to go wrong in 1999.
I was born in 91 , i 100% feel you on this
Lmao typical boomer comment
So why are you listening to this @@UndertakerDeadaman
Stay mad grandpa@@robinpelletstovesuk9194
You don’t have to have any talent today. You just have to agree to push Satan’s agenda and they prop you up.
Gosh, they were both so young and beautiful here! One of my favorite groups of all time, I adore them! Something about this song breaks my heart just a little bit…
How does this have only 20k views, should be 10 million.
I love Hall & Oats.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite Hall and Oates song of all and Darryl is killing it on the vocals!!
John was such a stud!!! Great voice and harmonies.
Perhaps my favorite version.
2023!! STILL jammin’ to this!!
Favorite song by them. So much soul .
It was a Beautiful day when this masterpiece was created ❤️❤️❤️

All their songs are dynamite, I’m sorry you don’t appreciate them.

Daryl is the man. Oats is just the mustache.
Because your kiss is on my list!
pure talent..l used to hate these guys but l grew up and recognized not everything had to be hard rock.
This is the best version by far. The bassist owned it here. No wonder he got fired.
Did he get fired ? I assumed he just left to record his solo album , which Daryl Hall produced .
Who was him?

Soulful music of our Era 💥
An all time great song with an all time take 🔥
Talent overflowing from them I swear Daryl better go offfff🤧❤️🤧
Daryl had a great voice that only got better with age. Daryl’s House had so great talent ❤️
A sound that can Not Be Duplicated !!!! ❤
Utterly brilliant. Absolutely, profoundly beautiful. Lucky, lucky Sara Allen, to be the inspiration for this incredible song, to know that magnificent voice is singing to you.
She gave an interview and said to this day, if the sing comes on she's gets so emotional she needs to leave the store

Perfect musicianship and song writing . We dont get this level of touching your emotions with music today. Calls up memories
Ohhhh dang, this makes me want to see them live again. One of the best bands ever ♥
Absolutely beautiful!
Wow!!!!!! I’d rather hear the live version everytime. Hall & Oats Legends ❤❤

the childhood of song of many kids in the 70s. It was always on the radio when something good was happening.
It just does not get better then this…period!
It was nice of Daryl to employ his stunt double on bass.

What a song.

These time in my life were just awesome. Easier,slower paced,people respected each other. Great times.
I could listen to this song over and over again! I guess I'm a young person with an old soul🤣
Young person. listen to great music ....it can transform you!
Me too and I’m an old person with an old soul
Sweet! I saw two these guys outside MoMA. Two men and a cheap guitar. I couldn't believe the music coming from these two players. They were destined!
Boy this was a long time ago! I’d kill to have hair like that. (I am 68 and bald!) I’ve always loved Daryl and John’s music.
