Daryl Hall & John Oates have sold a lot of records. HALL and OATES in fact have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. That means for the 30 Day Album #Coach4aday Challenge we need to give them a listen.

When you have turned out that many albums and records where do you start to listen to just one? Well for me I went to their second studio album released in 1973 titled “Abandoned Luncheonette”

Today I often remark that beer bottles and cans have clever artwork. Just look at any craft beer and you might see fantastic artwork.

Yet in the 1960’s and 1970’s that art work honor went to an album cover. To really understand the cover of “Abandoned Luncheonette” I encourage you to read this article by Mike Morsch. I found it posted in great blog called Diner Hotline Weblog

HALL and OATES not only sold records they pit out hits. From the mid-’70s to the mid-’80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), “Maneater” and “Out of Touch”.

I wanted to listen to them from their early years and this album helped me do that.

Discography

This album had two songs “She’s Gone” and “Everytime I Look at You” that I had heard before. So when I listened from beginning to end I got treated to a new songs I liked called “When The Morning Comes”
