Being the first (and last!) time listening to Daryl Hall & John Oates, I realized I have heard a few of these songs. “Camellia” and “Alone Too Long” were both released as singles, the latter reaching #98 on the Billboard R&B charts and the former failed to chart at all. I have a special loathing for Hall & Oates’ breakthrough single “Sara Smile,” their first to reach the Top 10, hitting #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1976. That song, along with Starship’s “Sara,” are awful tunes that are inevitably sung to me, though thankfully not so much now as back in the 70′s and 80′s. Thank goodness Boss Hog redeemed the name with “Some Sara” in the 90′s.
