Hall & Oates "Ohh Yeah" 1988

Waiting too long between their last album "Live At The Apollo" (the public forgets quickly) and this release, meant sliding sales. Also, they continually would clash with Arista's Clive Davis who wanted to control everything the boys did, including picking songs from other writers for them to do! Also, it seemed a bit to me as though they were getting bored at this point and this didn't feel to me like a full effort. (John only contributes one song, and it feels like a throwaway song at that) But still, they managed a #2 hit plus a couple of other top 40 hits from this release.
