"Have You Ever Been In Love" by Hall & Oates

[Ronny83]

Daryl Hall and John Oates aren't making any new music together in the foreseeable future, but they're about to lay a load of their past material on fans.

 

"Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall and John Oates" comes out Oct. 13 on Legacy/RCA with 16 previously unreleased songs on the 74-track, four-disc box set. Among the rarities are: songs by pre-Hall and Oates groups the Temptones and the Masters; outtakes from sessions for the "Private Eyes," "Change of Season" and "Do It For Love" albums; the original demo version of "Have You Ever Been in Love," which was recorded by Celine Dion in 2002; five performances from an October 1975 concert in London; a 10-minute live version of the Hall-written "Everytime You Go Away" in Tokyo; and live takes of "Starting All Over Again," "So Close" and the box's title track.

DEMO!?!? Excuse me!? it was a album track and even a single!

Daryl Hall is one of the composers of HYEBIL, so I think they recorded a demo of the song for Céline.

It's just gonna be like 'Bleeding Love' demo version released by Jesse McCartney after Leona's version became a worldwide hit.

 

I'd love to hear the "demo version"

Exactly.

Now, did Aretha really cover this song? I checked out her performance but failed to recognize the song at all. :laugh:

Well, she put a "soulful" twist on it

[maceta_biloxi]

yeah but there is no version like Celine's, not even aretha's live version is so great as Celine's

[ghazal]

no one can sing this song like celine. 4 sure

[jacobmarley]

Yes, only Céline can sing this song like Céline!

[luciusbright]

Yes, only Céline can sing this song like Céline!

:clap:

Yes, that's right, pretty cool

[davidjag79]

Celine's version is far superior! J'adore Celine

[Terre]

I love HYEBIL so much! The way Céline sings it... It would be interesting to hear the demo version.

i did not like the song when i first heard it.

I adored her low deep vocals in the beginning but damn the lyrics are so tired and played out

and it sounds like it could be the TV theme song of some 80's sitcom

Even though the song may be repetative and percived as booring from a critical point of view I find it very classy, and among Céline's finest recordings. It's timeless. Very Barbraesque. A Céline gem.

 

Daryl Hall's version is interesting, sounds like another song, but very ok, yet the classy feeling in Céline's rendition is not there.

Here is Hall and Oates version: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/7 Scroll down to #13. It's different than Céline's partly because it's an acoustic version. In the 80's this duo was one of my favorite bands, so Hall's rendition appeals to my ears

[celinesounds]

the songs is on cd #4
