Daryl Hall and John Oates Join Host David Dye

Daryl Hall and John Oates are the most successful musical duo of all time, selling over 40 million albums and becoming the face of Blue-Eyed Soul in the 70’s and 80’s. For Sense of Place Philadelphia, we revisit a 2005 interview with Hall and Oates looking back on their early days in the city. Then hometown heroes The Hooters play a set of their greatest hits including “And We Danced” and “Time After Time” in a mini-concert recorded earlier this year

Listen to the session here.
