about trying make a buck singing in public

A guy sets up a mic and sings for money out here Saturday mornings. I heard him every weekend for a while. He's a bad singer, clips all the words so he doesn't have to hold a note. He thinks his best song is "My Girl" by The Temptations. But because he's chopping off all the notes, that song only highlights his inadequacy. The original's strength is it has such strong phrasing.

(posts) Hall & Oates performing "She's Gone"


"Rich Girl" and "You Make My Dreams Come True"? Both great songs. But "She's Gone" is my favorite. 

 

Written by Daryl Hall and John Oates, "She's Gone" appeared on the duo's 1973 album, Abandoned Luncheonette. This video captures them playing it in early 1976.
