#hallandoates #reaction FIRST time REACTION to Daryl Hall & John Oates - I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
Doesn't matter, After a while both Hall and Oates said that it can apply to romance as well...It's like with Ace's "How long", which the great Paul Carrack admitted that most people don't give a rat's ass that it was originally written about the band's bass player secretly recording with a different band, and the majority of people attribute it to a romantic infidelity.
Quoted from Wikipedia"John Oates has stated that while many listeners may assume the lyrics are about a relationship, in reality, the song, "is about the music business. That song is really about not being pushed around by big labels, managers, and agents and being told what to do, and being true to yourself creatively."
MJ came up to Daryl Hall at the We Are The World recording session and thanked him/apologized to him for lifting this beat for Billie Jean. Hall was super gracious, saying that all good musicians “steal” from each other.
Hip Hop Has a habit of sampling great music of the past. When you can't be creative on your own just take from the masters of the past. The number of songs you have said that you have heard as a sample is insane.
@@xmathmanx Well Rhythm and Blues was at some point influenced as well, nothing wrong with being inspired or influenced and creating your own vision of something. However to actually take and sample part of something for 3 to 10 seconds and put it into your creation is not cool. So many amazing creative people have had their work earn other people money. Earn your money not use someone else's work to earn money. I am a street performer and I see people all the time using famous songs to earn money. This is not right, make your own music. Never like cover bands or people that leech of the success of others. I have created all my own routines and scripts and do my best not to copy or use the same things as 90% of the other people who do the same type of entertainment as myself. I want to be known for doing something that no one has seen someone else do. I was inspired and use to use what is known as common patter with my presentation, however learned it is more important what you say and how you react to those you entertain than what is happening. People remember more of what was talked about to remember what happened. have a good day. I do love me some Rhythm and Blues !!!!
Daryl Hall used to have a TV show where he would invite guests for jam sessions. He did I Can't Go For That with the legendary CeeLo Green. Amazing performance !!! You should check it out
I heard that the song was written with the music industry in mind.. how Hall and oats refused to "sell their their soul". It is meant to have the subtlety , sounding at first like a woman.. but really its about music company.
Oates is working too, he has become an acoustic blues performer. Unfortunately, there was some bad blood between them and a lawsuit. Don't know the details.
Michael Jackson told Daryl Hall that he “stole” that opening beat for his song. It was always Daryl Hall and John Oates because they said they were two individuals sharing the stage and it kept their identity. Referring to selling their soul to the record labels. This song is highly sampled.
@@005uz345 There are interviews with both Daryl Hall and John Oates, where they tell the story of How Micharl Jackson came up to them at We Are The World recording and told them that and he hoped they did not mind. They said they were flattered.
This song came on while I was eating at a local restaurant a few weeks ago and EVERYBODY in the place, (all ages, races, etc.,), started nodding and bouncing their heads. This song is a true classic and an eternal jam.
Hall & Oates. A deep rabbit hole of Philly blue-eyed soul. Daryl's voice is killer. If you haven't already done so, check out Live at Daryl's House where he has guest artists (big name) come into his home studio to play each other's songs. His house band doing the backing are pure talent and worth your time alone. Just amazing what he's doing.
Daryl Hall had a show called Daryl’s House. Various performers coke on and perform Hall and Oates songs, and then Daryl will perform their songs. C Lo Green doing this song was one of my favorites.
Although I love this cut, and it's one of my favorites by Hall and Oates, "Sara Smile" and "She's Gone", depending on the day, are my two favorites by them. Today it's "Sara Smile".
Quite a few bands directed their songs to record companies in an indirect way to show their displeasure with how things were handled...Billy Squier's " STROKE" same thing. People mistook it right away because of title...lol
Look up CeeLo and Daryl doing this song. Daryl invites all sort of artists to sing their songs and his songs together. It's an amazing version of the song.
you need to check out the Daryl's House series. Daryl Hall is a genius music arranger. he has artists of all kinds visit him, he recreates with them their hits with his musicians and sometimes rearranges the pieces. its great. he is now the "elder statesman" of music.
Oh you have got to check out “Daryl’s House” (Daryl is the one singing lead on this) He has a whole segment of awesome musicians and he invites other other artist to come and jam with them. You need to check out Ceelo Green and Daryl doing this song….. it will blow your mind how good it sounds. Daryl is a phenomenal artist and songwriter. I grew up listening to them and had the Hall and Oates H2O album in the 80’s. 🎼❤️🎼
I may be wrong but I thought this song was about the music industry demands, not a personal relationship. And as others commented you just gotta see the version of this song from decades later on Daryll Hall's Live from Daryll's House featuring Cee Lo Green. It's fantastic!
Say It Isn't So Sara Smile She's Gone Rich Girl Kiss On My List You Make My Dreams Private Eyes Adult Education I Can't Go For That Maneater One On One You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - hall and oats hits list halls has one of those soulful voices
The 2 Live Crew were the first rap group to sample this for their 'Do Wah Diddy' / 'I Can't Go For That' 12" single back in 1988. The second was De La Soul.
I grew up in the 80s and with MTV in the late seventies. All these songs brings back great memories. Sara smile was my first jam from Hall & Oates. I love their music. Daryl's house was in a nice show and he would jam out with different musicians. I just found your channel again and running through all your videos. 👌
It'd be cool if you went back through some of your old favorite hip hop tracks and then maybe check out the orginal songs that they sampled from. I think it would be a cool way to bridge the gaps between genres. Just an idea. Nothin but love from the Western Slope
5:25-Yeah everyone knows how to program keyboards nowadays...But back then we knew how to PLAY them and (Gasp) sing at the same time! 10:41-Yeah they wrote most of thier songs together--I caught them live in 86 and they were studio perfect ( Sax player u saw wore the same shades and wore a cool leopard-spotted yellow suit, bassist T-bone had on a slick pimp hat.)
Hall and Oates are the #1 Pop Duel of all time. It felt like they had a new hit every couple of months from the early to the middle 80's. It was a great decade for music!
Takin me a little bit back to my childhood. Their tracks were bigger around that time. I never truly got into music until my teens. But there was somethin about their songs that reached me back then.
My Mum was a big Hall and Oates fan so I heard their stuff when I was a kid. We went to their Melbourne concert about 10 years ago or something, and they were AWESOME!
They were highly inspired/influenced by Motown. They released an album in 2004 "Our Kind of Soul"-all covers of great Motown songs. I love that album as much as my first ones "Voices" and "Private Eyes"
BP, you just took me back to my high school years ❤ I watch live from Daryle's house whenever I find it streaming. He's a music Genius.The show he invites other artists and jam together and have a meal afterwards. 🎶🎶💖 there's so many songs I can't list them all. Remake of Lost that loving feeling. Awesome artists.
Daryl Hall sang most of the lead vocalist. John Oates primarily played the electric guitar and provided backing vocals. The two wrote most of the songs.
Great reaction- thanks! I remember when this song was first released and played on the radio- huge hit for them that everybody liked and such a different style (referred to as Philly Soul or Blue Eyed Soul). Yes many artists have sampled parts of this song and Daryl Hall is quite gracious about that. I agree with the other comments about checking out his internet show "Live From Daryl's House" a must see to show you the kind of person Daryl Hall is and how he interacts with other musicians. Warning though, you will want to bring a suitcase or at least an overnight bag to your first time checking out his show. (first time I checked it out I was up all night watching many episodes after the first one I checked out!)
Hey BP, glad you’re getting around to watching all types of classic music that many people don’t realize helped define the sounds of future artists especially in hip-hop/rap. It’s great when someone says they recognize a beat or melody and are now getting to experience where they came from.
They said they became Daryl Hall and John Oates because when they were college roommates and for a while after starting out in music, that is how their names appeared on the mailbox....in that order
This song came out when i lived in Kaiserslautern Germany, when i was about 10 or 11... Its been on playlist since then. Daryl also did this song with Live Ceelo Green, and its everybit as good and Ceelo is fantastic in it. That version is also on my playlist.
This was my favorite song when I was 12! That bass would come on the radio & I was right there! It was played alot on the R&B station. You have to react to "Sara Smile" & "Private Eyes by Hall & Oates.
Lots of people here are commenting on the version with CeeLo Green from live from Daryls house that came out about 12 years ago, I think. Do yourself a favor and watch that version. It's incredible. Daryl is still tall and blonde and plays the guitar in this version, as well as singing some of the lead. Still a great singer in his 70s.
Darryl Hall! Wow. His live at Darryl's house would be great to review! Ian a studio setting, Celo Green, the O'Jays, Diane Birch(my fav), Todd Rudgren, so many great artists and some you might have not heard as much but are fantastic, Fitz & the Tantrums, Ty Taylor, it goes on and on!
