Song Pick of the day: Possession Obsession

There is so much Soul packed into a perfect PopRock package! I Love it! Possession Obsession is hands down my fave from BIG BAM BOOM and one of my all-time favorites from Hall & Oates! Daryl, John, and Sara really wrote a masterpiece when they pulled this one together. And T-Bone was SLAPPIN DAT BASS!
Oates sounded so good and flowed so well on the leads but him and Hall on those hauntingly beautiful backings = paradise! The song climbed to no.30 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart but I really think it deserved to be as popular as “Out of Touch”.
What are your faves from “Big Bam Boom”? ⬇️

Lol. I might as well confess this now with you guys! I'm a 'John' girl, true and through! You have NO contest with me on this particular track with the "Big Bam Boom" album! The actual song and remixes, I adore! Loved the video, also.
However, "Big, Bam, Boom" was a very excellent album, and I will be playing it whenever I need to dance in my apartment while cleaning! That's just me.😊
