I came across some quality gems I need to share, from this same magnificent Duo of Rock n'Roll.
First let me tell you, that IMO this Jingle Bell Rock video is soooo pathetic that it is good.
If you know anything about the outstanding song writing talents, musicianship and awesome vocals shared by this Hall and Oats, then, like me, you'd chalk this stinko up to 80's humour.
Let's take it from the top:
1973 Contrary to all the jokes made at John Oats' expense, this song is one example of where John Oats shows his amazing vocals.
Daryl Hall has the Ziggy Stardust eyebrows (or lack there of) but this song is one of the finest ever written/performed, just not here.
1980's This is just one of my personal fav's from the many mega hits Hall and Oats gave us during the 80's.
By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the NUMBER-ONE SELLING DUO in music history, a record they still hold today.
1988 This one is a Live version of the song Daryl wrote for Paul Young....the song that became Paul Young's signature. I am adding it because both Daryl and John look like they are flying as high as can be and yet STILL can pull of this performance.
2007 Last but not least, the Gem of all Gem's that I discovered today: http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/
Did you know that Daryl Hall never warms up his vocals cords before a performance...he just steps on stage and out comes that voice - Oooo That Voice :)
So Parker can keep her Billy Idol.
I am going to Daryl Hall's house for Christmas and forever after, as soon as I find out his address.
