"So...What kind of music do you like?"
::gun fire::
"Soul"
"Yeah, me too"
If it wasn't for being trapped in an elevator amongst the cross hairs of philly gang violence, "You Make My Dreams Come True" may very well have never been written.
Who didn't have this hanging above their bed?
Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write,[1] "at their best, [Hall & Oates'] songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock." - Wikipedia
Guitarist Robert Fripp, who collaborated with Hall in the late 1970s and early '80s, has written, "Daryl's pipes were a wonder. I have never worked with a more able singer." - Wikipedia
"I wanted to yell cab driver you know...ooo...oooou.....ahhhhhhhhh" - Daryl Hall
The lyrics of "Elevator" are just as impressive as "Cab Driver"

Push the button again
Take me up (oh oh)
Ele - vator
Take me up (oh yeah)
I had no idea Daryl Hall was Buddy Christ
