Title - VH-1 Behind The Music: Daryl Hall & John Oates
Artist - Daryl Hall & John Oates
Did you know that in the last five years alone that there have been OVER twenty-five ‘Daryl Hall & John Oates’ Best Of … albums released in the US alone ?! Amazing, isn’t it, but at least this ‘new’ one has been sanctioned by the duo themselves adding some legitimacy to the proceedings for once. Having recorded a CD of new material that was mysteriously shot down by their then record company, Columbia, this was the alternative that was chosen to air old and new alike. VH-1: Behind The Music: The Daryl Hall & John Oates Collection contains all their own personal favorite Hall & Oates tracks (’Sara Smile,’ ‘Rich Girl,’ ‘You Make My Dreams Come True,’ ‘Maneater’ and ’One On One’), of course, but also live versions such as ’Kiss On My List’ and ’She’s Gone’ and three brand new recordings – including the #1 AC airplay (at the time of press) and #2 on Billboards AC chart single, ”Do It For Love.” This latest Hall & Oates compilation-plus is chock full of masterful writing, elegant production and stellar vocals and like a fine wine, the duo seem to be aging just beautifully.
