I never thought anybody could do a creditable cover of this. Brother, was I wrong? From the vocals to the sax, down to the, almost Jamerson, bass line, this was great. It's as close as anyone will come to being as good as the original. They made it their own, without trying to imitate.
This is just top-tier! The vocals, the sax lines, guitar, playing, the mix and balance, the nuance without imitation! I spent 10 years in a band, and I know what it takes to put a performance like that together! There’s so many ways to step on each other, and they avoided all of them and produced a flawless, live recording! Bravo!
I have been sitting here for over an hour listening to this song. What a fantastic rendition. I have always liked Hall and Oates, but you do not see or truly appreciate them until you see this video. Such talent by every member of this group. I am 70 y/o, my wish before I die is to see them in concert. In about 15 years lol There is nothing more impressive than a rock band with talent. I have a lot of favorite groups, but Hall and Oates is at the top.
Daryl is the most unbelievable 74 year old I’ve ever seen. Sexier than anybody 30 years younger. He’s never done drugs or alcohol I’m sure that had a lot to do with it.
l had a chance to see them about 7 yrs ago.Boy,were they good and very LOUD.lm 70 disabled but l went along on my own.Best thing l ever did.l hope you get a chance.
I was fortunate to see Hall & Oates in Perth, Western Australia at the Perth concert hall in 1991 with my wife, we were blown away. It was a steel string acoustic band and absolutely other worldly ❤️
In about 15 years if they have a concert you and I will go see it together, by then I also will be seventy, life is full of beauty, all we need to do is join up..
You know, people can pretend that they don't like Hall & Oates, but seriously, most of them love these guys and their music--How could you not? Still my all-time favorite group, for not only their own hits, but when they do covers as well. John Oates sounds great in this song. He is often over-looked, but such an integral part of the group. Daryl's voice is one of the best in the business. Both have true talent, and isn't it nice to NOT hear a computer box voice where everyone sounds the exact same?
First time I'm hearing this. It's so nice to hear John sing more than usual. This version is stellar. Fabulous harmonies and Daryl's hair is awesome (sorry, had to throw that in there ❤❤❤)
I never thought they sucked, even had a couple of their LP's on vinyl that I acquired somehow, as an afterthought I guess. Like you, big on Zep, Stones, etc. And like you I like these guys more and more every year.
I keep coming back to Hall and Oates when I need to really feel good. Darrell Hall's "At Daryl 's House" was simply fantastic as he mixed with old and new artists. While doing so he exhibited his incredible abilities with vocals and instruments. And, as said earlier John Oates is such a great contributor as well. I've been listening to other covers of Marvin Gaye's classic and was simply delighted to find Daryl's, and John's love for a legendary song. Maybe someday I can witness them in concert.
Play his song but don’t mention his name. I got a problem with that. Great imitation with the original recording dubbing in the background. Yes we are much imitated never duplicated. Good try. Marvin Gaye is his name. There I said it for you. It’s all good.
well it's easy to see why 83 dislikes: These guys are actually singing and alas, playing instruments!! And they have talent. These guys , and others of that era , have more funk, more soul than the garbage that's around these days.
Hall and Oats sometimes brings tears to this man they really engulf music real classic beautiful and do it justice Marvin is smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more I hear from them...the more I like them! Strange, I didn't fancy them when I was younger, a long long time ago...aging brings us wisdom, I guess...
I love everything they do, whether it's a cover like this or their own songs. I love how Daryl pays homage to the greats. I also love what he does with Live at Daryl's House.
First heard their version of Marvin's classic when they were at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling WV in May of 1991. It floored me then as it still does every time I hear it. I especially remember Charles DeChant, playing his sax while walking around the theater - and on the rail around the orchestra pit!
Timeless and much needed lyrics for these trying times. Great 👍 rendition of Marvin's hit song. Daryl And John hit the mark. One of my favorites ❤ I could listen 🎶 to this for hours. Love Daryl's hair.
Marvin Gaye was a tortured genius. He wrote this song and album against Berry Gordy’s wishes and it became one of the greatest songs ever. Daryl Hall is a fabulous interpreter of Motown tunes and a great collaborator with Mr Smokey Robinson, a legend and master of music. Smokey is music.
A simply a treasure these two , men! Come on Marvin would be so...proud. I wonder if they ever met? Thanks for all your ,love of music..100 per cent...always.
Still enjoying this masterful performance in 2024!
Mmmm hmmmm 😊.
DH sounds amazing.
They are perfect together. The harmonizing is amazing
Im 65 years old, and im still crushing on Daryl ❤ lol. Thanks for all the years of your music. You and John Oates made me smile in good and bad times.
I'm right behind you at 64💜
Me too
Must be the hair
Daryl’s hair is sooo Hot! Gorgeous! 🔥 oh yeah!
@GillFisher-ny4do me three. I wished they just make up and forget about it. They were a great duo together. Brings back lots of great memories .
OMG 33 years ago!!?? I loved them then and I love them still. No better duo EVER
Ha time is the thief that never gets caught keep smilin
I believe they have outsold any other duo in rock
Fabulous, guys. Marvin Gaye would be proud.
John was quoted as saying " I'm a good singer but, Daryl is a great singer" What a fantastic compliment to give to your bandmate.
Yes, they each have their own amazing voices. Together they are magic.
Together they cover the range of soul music. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
I never thought anybody could do a creditable cover of this. Brother, was I wrong? From the vocals to the sax, down to the, almost Jamerson, bass line, this was great. It's as close as anyone will come to being as good as the original. They made it their own, without trying to imitate.
The BEST cover of this song by ANYONE
They definitely have some soul to their sound and voices.
@@kdm222 heard Donny Hathaway's cover?
@@kdm222 Paul Carrack’s is pretty darn good. ua-cam.com/video/32QKq3QZ-ik/v-deo.html
Daryl stated in an interview he never smoked so his voice would last. It's fantastic.
Magic Daryl Hall....❤❤❤❤❤ Wonderful singer, songwriter, awesome personality, we ❤ you
I love their take on this classic!!!!
Real Talent ,voices music, inflection, message. Got it going on!
Here we are in 2022 and this song MORE prevalent today than it was back then......LOVE ME SOME H AND O!!!
2025… ❤ H & O ♥️
2024 and this song is still a classic. Hall & Oates and the band - sung this beautifully! ❤
Whenever you have just great musicians/performers that is the highest peak of musical expression. And this is on that summit 😜🤣😂.
These guys are off-the-charts handsome in style/vocals/charisma! Woohoo!
Double woo hoo 😂❤!!
Triple WOO Hoo❤
John Oates is criminally underrated, what a fantastic talent he is ,those two send shivers down the spine
One of my favorite singers ever I love all the songs he sings. Daryl as well of course.
Oates lost his voice
I could not agree more… one of the most talented ever… should have been on the top of the music charts ALWAYS…
Thank GOD for Spotify and UA-cam
They are beautiful singers, x
OK, let's do this thing! Phenomenal rendition! Listen to their voices!!!!!!!
Brilliant ✨️ No ego, all heart & soul 💛✨️
This is just top-tier! The vocals, the sax lines, guitar, playing, the mix and balance, the nuance without imitation!

Aa
Proud to be a Baby Boomer. We had the best musicians in history. This is pure gold! Let's hear it for the Boomers.
I am lovin this. ❤
What a great duo! This song is magic! Everything is perfect! ❤
Have to believe Marvin would approve of this respectful rendition. Gotta luv Hall & Oates - they "get it".
The bass player does a good job too!
I saw Hall & Oates live years ago when they were not well known and did a little story about it on honest john true stories (on you tube).
Simply the best music ever... you cannot reciprocate there Era
absolutely fantastic. what a masterful performance
I LOVE John Oates' voice!
Been listening to Hall and Oates music since I was 13 yrs.old..now turning 52 this month of July still enjoying their soulful music....
I´ll be 83 this year and still one of my favourites.
Yes from my teens to now at 77
Marvin Gaye is looking down and smiling with tears in his eyes.
Oh yes...
Laura Juarez and I’m looking at you how hot you are....❤️
Yes
Ok
Yea Chopping onions does that

I hope you make it to one of their concerts. Me too for that fact.

John is the quintessential sound of the group. His backing vocals are incredible.
Agreed, one of the best duos. The band is also phenomenal.
Absolutely great!! Listening August 31-2024!!! 💖💕💫
I'm listening too on this heavy September 4 2024 night. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great rendition of a timeless classic song 🎵.. I love Hall and Oates ❤️🔥
Marvin Gaye woud be proud!!!
Me too!!!!!!!!!
Never thought much of Darryl when I was younger, but boy can this man sing!
Yeah, what the heck was wrong with me 40 years ago??
You are so so right, have you seen the 30 minutes with Daryl and Todd R
@@donnavorbach215LOL
They got stuck into the 80s pop scene, though they were all about soul.
Still made some great tunes and a musical legacy.
I agree. I am now one of his biggest fan!!! So many years later.😂😂
Woahhhhhhh...i love it. my forever crushee Daryl Hall..it is 2022 and I am so watching this from 1991.
January 2023…still watching!
TUESDAY 28th MAY 2024 STILL LISTENING HALL AND OATES TWO OF THE COOLEST BLOKES EVER. PEACE 🙏 TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎🏴
Keep going ladies! Talent and appeal are infinite. Woo Hoo❤❤❤
Awesome interpretation guys! Marvin would approve!
Back in the day they went to Japan a few times. They were greatly loved by the Japanese. I, too love the sax in this cover.
Hall and Oates always kicked ass with their live shows. Real band, real voices, and they played it different each time. Oates sounds great!
I agree. 'bout time he shared the vocals with Daryl. He definitely can sing.
Shared the vocals with Daryl? Daryl had the lion share of lead vocals.
Did you say Lion's hair, Kitty......... (that may explain it!!!!)
Great tribute to Marvin Gaye
I love this song I have listened to it and keep listening to it. The feeling comes right to you. AWESOME
No one can cover a soul classic like these two.
Deca Cards52 fantastic live version of Marvin’s song!
This isn't a generic cover. It is a gorgeous interpretation. Those two are amazing. Cheers. 😀
Robert Palmer absolutely kills Mercy Mercy Me
What about Liberace, he was mighty fine on “ I’m a soul man”. You believe that?
Evermore and more
First time I'm hearing this. It's so nice to hear John sing more than usual. This version is stellar. Fabulous harmonies and Daryl's hair is awesome (sorry, had to throw that in there ❤❤❤)
That was an excellent rendition of a great song!
So poignant in current times
Me and Mrs Jones is even better!
@@Cherryvanilla27both were beautiful 💜
No one but Daryl and John could do this - perfect performance
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you today?
When I was a kid I thought Hall and Oats sucked, hard core Led Zep fan,etc. Now I'm 54 and cant get enough of these guys. Awesome.5
Never realy listened! But these dudes are Mucisians!
Me too. Love them and their love for real soul music x
I hear you
I never thought they sucked, even had a couple of their LP's on vinyl that I acquired somehow, as an afterthought I guess. Like you, big on Zep, Stones, etc. And like you I like these guys more and more every year.
Paul Nathan Lol. I feel the same way. I saw Zeppelin at the Hollywood Bowl early 70's. Now I wish I could rent a room at Daryl's house
Greatest duo ever.
That Daryl/John duet is just fantastic. Their voices mesh so well, what with John's smooth and soothing voice and Daryl's crisp and clear voice.
I could listen to them all night.
I keep coming back to Hall and Oates when I need to really feel good. Darrell Hall's "At Daryl 's House" was simply fantastic as he mixed with old and new artists. While doing so he exhibited his incredible abilities with vocals and instruments. And, as said earlier John Oates is such a great contributor as well.

Me to, when i am down, lets put these lovely guys songs on, just amazing
John Oates voice is soooo cool.
Wife’s on vacation and I’m discovering so many amazing videos. Having a great time.
These two guys are much deeper then most people think....
After 8 months of living during a pandemic these guys can still bring a smile to me. What happened to music?
Lord knows
..too good
Yeap
Really..what has happened??
This is the song of an era, nothing else like it. It just takes you back in so many ways. What a tribute to Marvin Gaye!
They are brilliant so too is John Legend singing this song.
Its iconic and timeless just as relevant now
I love Daryl Hall's hair !!!😍😍😍
Every body’s favorite song. RIP Marvin and thank you.
Like fine wine...better with age. Can’t get enough of Daryl. Keep singing cuz we’re all still listening. 💕🎼
Aren't they insane they play and sing I love ❤ this song
Listening and hoping for more of his music!!
well it's easy to see why 83 dislikes: These guys are actually singing and alas, playing instruments!! And they have talent. These guys , and others of that era , have more funk, more soul than the garbage that's around these days.
Always liked hall and oats but they can cover any soul jazz and old time r and b better than anyone with out a doubt
the people that disliked clearly dont know or appreciate true talent,they just want the bubblegum crap
Now this is what I call a CLASS ACT! Love these guys x
I sprayed my drink....
They Real Talented and More!
Shivers…so great!
What TALENT!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤️😎
Daryl 💕And 💕John have started my day with music 🎼🎸🎹🎤🎷for 50 years
Love it!!
So glad Daryl has “Live At Daryl’s House” he still has it “Goin’ On”!😊
It’s 2022 and I’m still listening. Love you guys and many many thanks. You keep music alive.
Hall and Oats sometimes brings tears to this man they really engulf music real classic beautiful and do it justice Marvin is smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The more I hear from them...the more I like them! Strange, I didn't fancy them when I was younger, a long long time ago...aging brings us wisdom, I guess...

Absolutely fantastic rendition of this song! I love it!
I love everything they do, whether it's a cover like this or their own songs. I love how Daryl pays homage to the greats. I also love what he does with Live at Daryl's House.

Hall and Oates still got it, and even better as time passes on !!! Great 🎵🎶
They are soul singers at heart. Daryl Hall made his bones singing backup for groups like the Delfonics, Intruders, Stylistics.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge

Such a powerful song. and sung by D 🥰🤠😎

Daryl is so gorgeous even now at 70 years young. 🎶🎶💕💕🎹🎸🦃❤️️
Yes, i like him now better than before!
Lara O'neal true
I always thought John was the hot one. They both are so talented
Linda Bednar
If i were already at his time am gonna court him ..but he is 22 years older than me.till now he is gorgeous guy though at his 70s age.
I agree. He's so damn hot for 71. He could park his shoes under my bed anytime..
This song is timeless, i have listened to it for decades now, enjoy this version too. Marvi, always. h and o you do fine.
This is the real meaning of music . . .Daryl Hall and John Oates!!!
Silk stays smooth.... soul comes from the heart.. combined....oh my my
First heard their version of Marvin's classic when they were at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling WV in May of 1991. It floored me then as it still does every time I hear it. I especially remember Charles DeChant, playing his sax while walking around the theater - and on the rail around the orchestra pit!
All these years and I’m still loving Daryl Hall ❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧🙏😍
Daryll Hall ..the very best musician.
Best performance shown i n every
Show. He team up in every band
Who also dedicated in the world
of music. Thanks
What a great cover of this song. Props to John's voice here. Saw these guys about 4 or 5 times and they are so damn talented!!!
I am so smitten with you Hall. Everything you do. So rare and unique.
nice duet - they do this very well - perhaps they should incorporate this song in their tours
I've always loved Hall and Oates, and saw them for the first time before the pandemic, one of the best concerts I've ever been to ❤️
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you today?
Like no other.....love, love these guys.

The most talented and successful duo of all time! Unbelievable talent on that stage . ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful oh so beautiful what a great combination you did justice to this classic
Timeless and much needed lyrics for these trying times. Great 👍 rendition of Marvin's hit song. Daryl And John hit the mark. One of my favorites ❤ I could listen 🎶 to this for hours. Love Daryl's hair.
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you today?
Daryl Hall & John Oates is there any genre you cannot make your own.Beautiful Song.
Marvin Gaye was a tortured genius. He wrote this song and album against Berry Gordy’s wishes and it became one of the greatest songs ever. Daryl Hall is a fabulous interpreter of Motown tunes and a great collaborator with Mr Smokey Robinson, a legend and master of music. Smokey is music.
What's going on now.
Listen to the music since 1959 of Smokey Robinson.
Ì
They OWNED it for sure
I couldn't have said it better.
A masterpiece done by masters- thank you
A simply a treasure these two , men! Come on Marvin would be so...proud. I wonder if they ever met? Thanks for all your ,love of music..100 per cent...always.
just nailed this song
Marvelous arrangments ... too special Daryl and John, i think Marvin is really enjoying this version of theme!
Hall & Oates schenken mit ihrer Musik positive Energie. Schön das es sie gibt. Ciao
What can I say this is hall and Oates at their VERY BEST..so harmonious
