Hall and Oates...they have such a knack for fusing pop/rock and soul so well....they dominated the early to mid 80's radio which is no surprise...they always sounded fresh and upbeat even in their more mellow songs too...its great to see theyre back via VH1 and Doing It For Love...if u havent a clue about Hall and Oates and interested in them and/or anything 80's, give this collection a try...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hall & Oates greatest collection from the 70's and 80's!, September 23, 1999

Chronicles their RCA studio recording session years from 1975-1982 in rock music history. On this cd there are a few of my favorite Daryl Hall & John Oates song classics i listen to like "Say Isn't So", "Maneater", "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)", "Private Eyes", "Rich Girl" and one live track cut version of "Wait For Me". This is the one it brings back a lot of memories so where were you back in the seventies or eighties when all these tunes came out and played on the radio?This is a definitive compilation album to own. Their music was pure harmony, soft beat, hard/pop and soul combined in every rhythm they perform as a musical duo!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Collection of Rock 'N' Roll, October 4, 1998

Hall & Oates were a popular force in the late seventies and early eigthies. they have recently released a new album that is just as enjoyable to listen to as their older stuff. This collection of smooth jazz and rock 'n roll has an array of catchy and enjoyable tunes. Everyone's favorite songs like "Sara Smile" and "One on One" are here, and every other sing along song like "Maneater", "Private Eyes", "Rich Girl", etc. is here in all its glory. Listening to this album brought back memories of listening to my parents' Hall & Oates albums on a Sunday afternoon doing the weekly cleaning. These two artists wrote songs that you could sing along to and feel like they were talking to you. From the wondeful high notes that Hall hits, to the subtle background vocals of Oates, you will have to love this album for its display of musical talent.
