John Hall and Daryl Oates are the definition of “blue-eyed soul.” Their songs are a perfect melding of pop, soul, soft rock and R&B. One song from their extensive catalog that exemplifies their sound is “Sara Smile,” which was on their self-titled, Gold certified album from 1975.
No group signifies the laid back, sun-kissed 70s better than the Eagles. Their crystalline harmonies, stellar musicianship and satisfying lyrics make them one of the best rock bands of all time.
