Hall & Oates - Family Man

Back


Hall & Oates is the popular music duo made up of Daryl Hall and John Oates. The act achieved its greatest fame in the late 1970s and early-to-mid 1980s, and used a unique variety of ballad-oriented pop-blue eyed soul (occasionally mixed with dance and rock influences) to dominate the charts. The partnership is the most successful chart duo in the history of American recorded music.

The videoclip "Family Man" goes for a conceptual affair. Shot mainly in a set that resembles a living room, it mostly shows the band as they lip-synch, but it also includes shots of kids as they pester H&O, and we also watch some shots of a family with matching pompadours. Inserted on top of this, we discern the romantic pursuits of a man and a woman who both intentionally look like characters from primitive video games.

Mike Oldfield's song "Family Man" reached number seven and number six in March and June of 1983, respectively.

Btw J.Oates is far better with the moustache...
Now he cut it, he looks awful...But who doesn't anymore? Boy George is bald, Bono grows older n older, Phil Collins is bald too... Just kidding,it's interesting to see all those artists from the 80's as real people

Thank you, GTA for introducing me to this great song two years ago, and getting me into Hall & Oates! My favorite Hall & Oates song!

If only modern music was like 80s and 70s, then I'd be happy. the style of modern pop and rock music makes me want to kill myself, and makes me feel like crap.

absolutly correct, music today focuses more on 'gangsta' and modern beats (which are very repetitive and probably only took a few hours to make up). and modern lyrics arnt all that catchy and doesnt match the beat all that well. I was born in 1989 but brought up on modern but as soon as i heard 80s and early 90s it changed everything. sorry im a bit of a music critic lol. well santanas modern songs arnt bad, but he aint a modern guy i suppose haha

One of their best videos (It's a wonder this song did not do very well) to their standards. I mean on the Billboard Charts!

But I thought it was #6 in US... It's not that bad...After all,they've had 6 songs at #1 and much more in top 10...They're amazing...
"Out of Touch" i love it...
