The Very Best Of Daryl Hall & John Oates

Description

EDITORIAL REVIEWS No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: HALL & OATES Title: VERY BEST OF DARYL HALL & JOHN Street Release Date: 01/23/2001 Domestic Genre: ROCK/POP AMAZON.COM Hall and Oates often enlivened '70s and '80s radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 20-track collection--intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock 'n Soul, Part 1 with post-'83 winners--doesn't capture all their finest moments. (Where, for instance, are "She's Gone," recorded for another label but licensed by RCA for Rock 'n' Soul, and the terrific new wave/funk fusion "Your Imagination"?) Still, much of what's here is fine music that should appeal not only to those who carry fond memories of radio and MTV playing it the first time around, but also to a good-sized handful of their kids. --Rickey Wright
