“Out of Touch”
(1984; #1 pop)
Writer: Daryl Hall, John Oates
Producer: Daryl Hall, John Oates, Bob Clearmountain
from the album Big Bam Boom
The purest and finest example of a soul and New Wave merger, “Out of Touch” gleams with Eighties pride as it shoulders up a bouquet of Synclavier 9600 sounds and the infamous LinnDrum beats. The good vibes still resonates with well in the afterlife, where it reigns on the soundtrack of video games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Saints Row 2. To date, it remains the duo’s last No. 1 pop hit.
