The sophisticated melodies and sweet harmonies transcend time.
This is a best-of album that covers all of their hits from the 70s and 80s. It features highly polished songs that fuse pop and soul, such as "Maneater," "Private Eyes," and "Kiss on My List," and condenses their appeal.
This album vividly brings to life the allure of Hall & Oates, who defined the pop scene of the '70s and '80s. Combining the warmth of soul with the clarity of pop, tracks like "Private Eyes" and "Kiss on My List" epitomize American sophistication. Hall's smooth vocals and Oates' chorus create rich harmonies that elevate the band beyond mere hits. Their use of electric piano and synth sounds was also ahead of their time, laying the foundation for the AOR and blue-eyed soul of the '80s and beyond.
