1976 Hall & Oates – Bigger Than Both Of Us

Bigger Than Both Of Us is the fifth studio album by American pop music duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. The album was released on September 8, 1976, by RCA Records and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The album included the first of their six #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, “Rich Girl” as well as the singles “Back Together Again” (which reached #28) and “Do What You Want, Be What You Are” (which peaked at #39). Hall & Oates released a song titled “Bigger Than Both of Us” on their Beauty on a Back Street album one year later. “Do What You Want, Be What You Are” was covered by The Dramatics in 1979.

Cash Box said of “Back Together Again” that “A flowing introduction belies the syncopated phrases that are the foundation of this record’s layered verses” and that it contains “some striking instrumental effects.”
