“Did It In a Minute”
(1981; #9 pop)
Writer: Daryl Hall, Sara Allen, Janna Allen
Producer: Daryl Hall, John Oates, Neil Kernon
from the album Private Eyes
On this Top Ten track from Private Eyes, Hall & Oates crafts a tune that dips further into the pool of catchy pop-chiseled New Wave while exploring even more classic rock n’ roll techniques.
That unique combination proved to be a winning hand for H&O, shuttering the idea that they only dipped their finger in the colors of nostalgia. Labeled “one of the greatest songs they ever cut” by All Music Guide, “Did It In a Minute” made impact in April 1982, soaring into the Top Ten.
