Hall & Oates "Say It Isn't So"

Hall & Oates announced their 2018 summer tour includes the pop group Train. Some might find the bill to be an odd pairing (especially after they paired up last year with Tears for Fears). Apparently, Train's lead singer Pat Monahan bonded with Daryl Hall during a taping of  Live From Daryl's House and the rest is history. Their tour begins May 1st in Sacramento.

Hall & Oates "She's Gone"

What happens when your girlfriend stands you up on New Year's Eve? You arrive at the lyrics to "She's Gone". It happened to John Oates, and the New Year's Eve-that-never-was turned heartache into one of the duo's favorite songs. Originally released in 1973, the ballad received next to no attention outside the duo's hometown of Philadelphia. Upon re-release in 1976 (after the success of "Sara Smile"), the song went to #7 on the Hot 100 and #6 on the Adult Contemporary Charts.

Hall & Oates - "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)"

Does it surprise you that Hall & Oates' "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" has over 1,000,000 plays on the radio?  Does it also surprise you that Darryl Hall claims that Michael Jackson told him that he lifted the bass line from "I Can't Go For That" for "Billie Jean"?  It shouldn't because Hall & Oates is one bad-ass duo that gets no respect.
