John Oates, telemark skier, the box set and the bomb

You had your first kiss listening to him whale on barr chords. "You Make My Dreams Come True" was on in the background when you chugged your first beer. It was halftime at a tailgate when your goofy buddy had his speakers on top of his Toyota Corolla station wagon jamming "Rich Girl." Then you got to hear him sing the cool vocal part "rich girl ooh" while he manhandled the middle of the neck on his 70's Fender Strat.

We are of course talking about pop/rock/soul virtuoso, John Oates. He is 50% of the most successful duo of all time, Hall and Oates. John and Daryl Hall met at Temple University, where they formed the union. They were signed by Atlantic Records in 1972 and went on to record 21 albums together which sold over 80 million copies and had 10 number 1 hits.

You put it rather well with the cheers for the Hall & Oates box set. There were some omissions like "Beauty on A Back Street" songs and "Marigold Sky" tracks but I can make my own extra disc to make up for that much. Check my Yahoo Group at http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/HallandOates
