    @SG-js2qn Před měsícem +27

    IIRC, this song was my introduction to Hall and Oates, and was accompanied by their re-release of "She's Gone." That was followed by "Rich Girl," "Kiss Is On My List," "You Make My Dreams Come True," "Say It Isn't So," "Out of Touch," "Private Eyes."

    For your own pleasure, watch the video of Smokey Robinson doing this with Daryl Hall in the Daryl's House broadcast - imagine Smokey's voice doing those 'Sara' parts the way only he can, and give yourself a treat.

  • @AudioVile
    @AudioVile Před měsícem +15

    I'm one of those old timers who heard this when it first came out. I think this is their best work (if I had to pick). Their hit, "She's Gone" would be another that's up there! It seems like we can just FEEL that this is more than "just another song" to them. Great reaction you two!!

    • @kthor

    Daryl Hall and Sara Allen were together for 30 years. John Oates actually introduced them back in Philadelphia when he and John were roommates. Saw her on the Hall and Oates Behind the Music, and she just seems like the sweetest person. She and her late sister Jana Allen both wrote songs with Daryl and John. Janna was only in her thirties when she died of cancer. I think Sara was pretty heartbroken when she and Daryl broke up, but they remained friends. She was on an episode of Live From Daryl's with Wyclef Jean. And she seemed as sweet as ever.

    If you guys wanna see and hear some great stuff from Daryl, the Lead Singer, he had a late night show on in the 2010s called Live From Daryl's House.. He had some of the greatest bands and solo artists on this show and he would sing and play with them with a Live Band! Highly recommend these videos. A lot of the performances are on CZcams!

    @RonnieStanley-tc6vi Před 28 dny

    I was born in 75 and grew up with heavy metal and early punk. I still listen to Pantera and White Zombie or Rancid and The Misfits. That said, my guilty pleasure is Hall and Oats. Daryll Hall is a talented dude. They had so many big hits that were unavoidable at the time. They were all over the radio and MTV. You couldnt help but hear them. Now, at 49, I wander back to them between punk songs.😆😆😆

    Your thumbnail comment--"So much soul, and so smooth, she BETTER smile!" 🤣 You're right, of course, though. This is arguably their most laid-back, old school Philly-soul sounding song, and definitely one of their most-beloved. Any of the song suggestions by the commenters below are keepers, and worthy of your consideration. Hall & Oates just knew how to produce music that captured the public at large.

    See my name 😊 I was little little when this was popular and I remember hating it because people would always say, "Oh Sarah, you should smile" .. I bothered me alot for no good reason. Now that I'm older, through the years alot of friends have told me when they hear this they think of me ❤❤ So, after all these years I've come to like the song and appreciate the fact that there is something out in the universe that had zero to do with me but reminds some people of me 😊😊😊 .. just kinda cool 😎 😌
