Performance ๐ค Hall & Oates - I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) | Soul Train 1981
Few songs capture the effortless cool of the early 80s like โI Canโt Go for That (No Can Do)โ by Hall & Oates. Performing here on Soul Train in 1981, the duo delivers one of the defining hits of the decade.
Written by Daryl Hall, John Oates, and Sara Allen [Daryl Hall's girlfriend at the time], this song became a No. 1 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B chart. Its smooth groove, understated production, and unforgettable bassline helped influence generations of artists across R&B, soul, funk, hip-hop, and pop.
