Editorial Reviews :
Hall and Oates often enlivened '70s and '80s radio with sharp pop concoctions that drew on a wellspring of R&B influences picked up in their hometown of Philadelphia. They scored frequently enough, in fact, that this 20-track collection--intended to supplement or replace the earlier Rock 'n Soul, Part 1 with post-'83 winners--doesn't capture all their finest moments. (Where, for instance, are 'She's Gone,' recorded for another label but licensed by RCA for Rock 'n' Soul, and the terrific new wave/funk fusion 'Your Imagination'?) Still, much of what's here is fine music that should appeal not only to those who carry fond memories of radio and MTV playing it the first time around, but also to a good-sized handful of their kids.
Buyer Reviews :
Forget my review on the previous brief CD I did of 1983's Rock 'N' Soul Part One Greatest Hits. This is even much better it adds seven songs with all eleven favorites not counting for the missing 'She's Gone' which it isn't on here but includes Daryl Hall and John Oates doing a sixties cover ballad classic version of 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' by the Righteous Brothers. Also from the Big Bam Boom album is 'Out Of Touch' with 'Method Of Modern Love' plus 'Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid'. There's also 'Did It A Minute' a studio not it's live version but the original 'Wait For Me' and 'Family Man'. I really enjoy listening to the rest of the tunes that were very popular like 'Maneater', 'Sara Smile', 'Rich Girl', 'Private Eyes' & 'I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)'. So in my own opinion for the improvement and expanded digitally remastered eighteen tracks from it's RCA record label that they did is a pretty good job here. I would give it 'Thumbs Up!'. Let's see if these two guys I think should release and put out another compilation volume of more song highlights they recorded together from their 70's and 80's albums someday soon!
