YouTube ^

You can see them at https://www.youtube.com/user/hallandoatesVEVO/videos

These are much better quality than the VHS recordings that many fans have uploaded over the years.

It’s not a mistake that they uploaded “Jingle Bell Rock” twice – one version has Daryl singing, and the other one has John.

“The first to fuse rock and soul music together.”

Oh yea sure. That made up? That sounds made up.

That’s like saying Deborah Harris of Blondie “Rapture” song was the first rap song.

Well, for one thing, her name was Debbie Harry.

And I happen to believe Rapture actually was the first rap song.

What disqualifies it?

Don’t be “the thread pooper”!

They are best known for their six No. 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. In total, they had 34 chart hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, seven RIAA platinum albums, and six RIAA gold albums.[2] Because of that chart success, Billboard magazine named them the most successful duo of the rock era, surpassing The Everly Brothers.

In 2003, Hall and Oates were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Billboard magazine had Hall & Oates at No. 15 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time and the No. 1 duo,

It means they don’t have the blockiness, compression artifacts, on screen logos, and bad audio that many of the VHS ones that were uploaded by fans have.

“She’s Gone” is my #2 H&O song. My #1 is “Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid”. Both songs have special meaning to me...

Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

“Billboard magazine named them the most successful duo of the rock era”

There was a lot of disco misrepresented as rock.
