“Had I Known You Better Then”
(1973)
Writer: John Oates
Producer: Arif Mardin
from the album AbandonedĀ LuncheonetteĀ
Inside this folk rock gem, Oates fronts his own singer-songwriter composition using the confidence of Jim Croce while Hall creates a wall of harmony around the mesmeric chorus. The banter of the two, one of the magical experiences of the track, makes Simon & Garfunkle look like toddlers.
