Daryl Hall

Daryl Hall sits at the exact crossroads of soul and pop that I love most. As the lead voice of Hall & Oates, he gave blue-eyed soul some of its warmest, most enduring vocals, and that Walk of Fame star is well earned. But what keeps my respect is the restlessness underneath the hits. He didn't just ride a winning formula; he chased side projects, the Robert Fripp collaboration among them, that had no commercial obligation to exist. A craftsman who never stopped being curious about sound. That quiet refusal to coast is, to me, the mark of a real musician rather than a hitmaker.
