VH-1's Behind the Music may signify the final curtain for some acts, but Hall and Oates aren't so easily confined to the dustbins of pop history. With a chart run that spanned most of the '70s and '80s, Philadelphia's most enduring purveyors of blue-eyed soul went on to keep a fairly low profile until "Do It for Love," a newly recorded track for their 2002 VH-1 retrospective, crept up to the top of the adult contemporary charts. Nearly a year later, the duo reprises the track and title on a full album that aims to recapture the best aspects of their glory days. Among its highlights are a sublime cover of New Radical's "Someday We'll Know" that teams them up with War Babies collaborator Todd Rundgren, and the funky "Miss DJ," a playful pop confection that avoids the excessive novelty of their more calculated '80s hits. After three decades, Hall's remains one of pop's most expressive voices. And while the album as a whole may lack the edge and energy of the pair's earliest work, it's still a promising collection from a rock duo that's earned a place in Philly soul history. --Bill Forman

A Must Buy.......2006-04-30

Hard to believe that this CD is just as good as their many hit albums from the 1980s. Their ability to create hooks, songs you can't get out of your head, is at their absolute best. If you are an H&O fan, or if you just want great pop music to listen to - over and over - I can't recommend this highly enough. If only it could airplay instead of the junk you hear today on the radio!

H & O still groovin' -- wow!.......2005-08-16

More than 100 reviews here, almost all five or four stars, what does that tell you?! Simply that Hall & Oates are still just a great group. The blend of their voices, the instrumentation, the songwriting -- it's all here. This is as good of album they've ever made, and they've made some legendary ones.

This is an epic CD -- and I just picked it up at the library and need to buy it this week. It truly is wonderful. Favorites include "Man On A Mission," the title track, and "Heartbreak Time."

Wow! Thanks H & O for keeping your music alive. Please, don't take so long between albums next time.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES!.......2005-03-12

I'm a big Hall and Oates fan and I recommend this selection. Not only is Do It For Love a contagious hit that you'l want to play over and over again, but this CD is full of other terrific tracks as well. My second favorite off this CD would be Man On A Mission. Daryl Hall is one of the smoothest vocalist of all time, half of the most popular duo in recording history...so what else would you expect from this talented pair!

Get this album and "Do it for Love".......2004-11-13

I have been following Daryl and Johns music since the late 70's and they seem to be like fine wine. They get better and better with age! I should know! I have even met them in person! This album is definately a hit! As I proceeded to pick up this album the day it went on sale I did not know how much of a good thing I was going to get. Man was I pleased when I found out all 14 tracks are great hits in themselves. I would elaborate on all of them, but just the title one "Do it for Love". It is definately a Hall and Oates song! The vocals of Daryl just make the song come alive as if your actually living the song. Daryl is THAT good! Johns background vocals as well as the blend of the vocals of Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, Charlie "Mr. Casual" DeChant and the rest of the band really make this song a hit! On one final note, I am engaged to be married. My fiancee and I both agreed that this will be 'our' song at our wedding. Thats how good this song is and the album is just as good!

Their best since Big Bam Boom.......2004-11-02

This is a really solid album. Most of the songs on here are very good. My favorite one is Life's Too Short. I think it would have been a big hit if it had been released as a single.

My only beef with this album, and it's a small beef, is that I wish John Oates was on here more. There's some songs on here that he doesn't appear on at all. Not that the songs sound bad, but come on, it's supposed to be Hall AND Oates.

P.S. - Does anyone else think that Love In A Dangerous Time sounds a LOT like Bonnie Raitt's Nick Of Time? It's not a bad song, but I prefer the non-Bonnie-sounding version on John's solo album Phunk Shui.

Finally H&O Come Good Albeit Just for 1 Album!.......2005-11-12

Having been a H&O fan for decades and having heard all their studio albums I'll have to say that I felt really betrayed by the Arista years. The only albums that were worse than "Ooh Yeah" and "Change of Season" were "Whole Oates" and "War Babies." It got so bad that for the first time, I'd actually hesitated to buy a H&O album without first hearing it. Fortunately, I decided to take a risk for old-time's sake and got this album. This album is a vast improvement and comes closest to the "Big Bam Boom" and earlier days in terms of quality tracks and musicianship. This could do with a remastering job though although the sound quality isn't all that bad. My favourite tracks here are "Time Won't Pass Me By", "Hold On to Yourself" and "War of Words" and the tracks from 7 onwards run very cohesively together. Sadly this was a false dawn as the next album "Do it For Love" falls short yet again. However, this album is highly recommended as one of H&O's better works harking back to the good ole RCA days. Recommended.

Hall & Oates' last album of the 20th Century.......2005-04-22

Daryl Hall and John Oates returned to the public ear in 1997 after the minor success of CHANGE OF SEASON,released seven years earlier. Hall and Oates were dropped from Arista Records after COS,which was only their second Arista album(the first was 1988's OOH YEAH). The duo's relationship with Arista was very much sour,not like their five-year relationship with RCA and their eight-year relationship with Atlantic. H&O gained the most attention during their RCA era from 1980 to '84. Here on this album,on a new label called Push,is the only Top 10 hit,PROMISE AIN'T ENOUGH. I also like THROW THE ROSES AWAY. Fans even noticed that Oates got rid of the moustache he sported for twenty-something years.

STRONG SINGING STRONG SONGS STRONG SOUL.......2004-05-10

One of only two albums Hall & Oates released in the 1990's, Marigold Sky is one unbelievably good record. It is a shame that more of those who bought Hall & Oates records in the seventies and eighties didn't pick up this one. Contemporary Adult radio did make "Promise Ain't Enough" a minor hit and it is a good song. But "War Of Words" is easily its equal. I remember hearing "War Of Words" a few times on the radio here is the Midwest; however, it did not draw the attention it deserves.

What makes this an exceptional Hall & Oates record is that Marigold Sky is a return to the "blue-eyed soul" reminiscent of the style of Motown artists such as Smokey Robinson. Indeed, in listening to "Out Of The Blue" and "The Sky Is Falling" it is easy to believe these songs were directly lifted from Smokey's late sixties catalogue.

"The Sky Is Falling" is the best song on the CD. A close second is the eponymous "Marigold Sky" itself. "Marigold Sky" meshes easily with the rest of the "soul" material but it is isn't a "soul" song itself. Driven at first by deftly picked acoustic guitar the chorus shifts into a breezy twelve string electric guitar strumming that rides like the wind all while Daryl Hall sings of a love long gone but still alive.

With Marigold Sky Hall & Oates keep to eternal "soul" themes of love discovered, love troubled and love lost. This is a deeply satisfying CD and it is sad that while Hall & Oates had fallen off the popular hits radar they did not make more albums like it. Indeed, since their intensely hot career of the seventies and eighties Hall & Oates have issued only two other albums since 1990's Season Of Change. Of those one was a VH-1 "Behind The Music" collection. I don't fault those who stick mainly to the well-beaten path of popular music because a good deal of enjoyment of music is its communal aspect. There is something heartwarming about sharing music a whole lot of other people love and enjoy. You don't get that if you choose music that only a few thousand in the whole country know about. But maybe there should be a place in your collection for an eccentric but well made record you just like to listen to. I count Marigold Sky as one of my guilty pleasures.

This is a great album.......2003-07-23

Every now and then something surprises you and this was it for me. This is a great album. Its a mature adult album for the music lovers out there who love great tunes, stories and musicianship. Well worth the purchase.

Sara Smiles Again.......2003-04-12

The dynamic non-stop pop machine from the late 70's (Wait For Me) to the 80's (Out Of Touch) takes a well deserved break after playing with their (now, sadly deceased) boyhood heroes, David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks. After some other sad deaths (their close friend Sara of Sara Smiles, Daryl Hall's marriage to Sara's sister and John's racecar collection), the guys regrouped to record the best piece of work since the aforementioned achingly beautiful early 70's ballad. All the "Private Eyes" had grown up, and this album was quickly dismissed as more of the same 80's pop that same group of boomers had grown up with. How unfortunate because "Marigold Sky" was a trip to future and past. It wasn't commercial drivel, not that the band ever REALLY delivered pablum, they just kept making silly love songs and, after all: "what's wrong with that?" Marigold Sky was too easily dismissed as we all can look back with 20/20 vision. The band had changed back into a serious contender for generating mature albums which were as good from start as they were to finish. "Promise Ain't Enough" received minimal airplay and the album quickly sank into oblivion. Albeit, some wise listeners did partake of this new Marigold laden sauce and discovered the secret known today. This is a freaking great record! Arguably, Marigold Sky, is the best thing ever done by the musical brothers who brought the new sound to Philadelpia (TNSOP?) Today, Marigold Sky is getting posthumous props to the point of it being a seriously hard to find recording. It sounds as fresh today as it did a decade ago. Sara approves fellas. She's smiling in Heaven right now. By the way, I'm back at the gig you did in Baton Rouge to support "Voices" and I have my lighter making a big flame. I want some more of this Marigold stuff! Get G.E. and T-Bone and "get back to where you once belonged."
