Music Appreciation
My mom had a crush on Daryl Hall, perhaps because of his tall stature, lean build, and blonde, wavy hair. She enjoyed listening to and watching music videos of Daryl Hall & John Oates, with "Out of Touch" being one of her favorites. This song, from their twelfth studio album Big Bam Boom, was released on October 4, 1984. It became their last Billboard Hot 100 number-one single and marked their fourteenth consecutive top 40 hit since 1980.
Directed by Jeff Stein under the pseudonym Raoul Kark, the music video for "Out of Touch" begins with "Dance on Your Knees" and transitions into "Out of Touch." It features Hall & Oates dancing inside a gigantic bass drum, trying to escape as it flattens them. The duo is seen performing on a sound stage with large letters spelling BOOM in the background. In the video, Daryl Hall wears a leopard suit over a grey tee shirt and cowboy boots, while John Oates sports jeans and a white printed sleeveless tee shirt. The video ends with them playing with the band on the enormous drum set.
I can imagine filming this music video and seeing the final results was a lot of fun.
