Hall & Oates

Family Christmas
What a memory
Just a child
On this here day
Round the world
Are so many families
Not enough to keep
But still the faith to pray
Let the Holy star above
Shine a silver light of lovin'
Turn this world around

No child should ever cry on Christmas
No child should ever be afraid
No child should ever cry on Christmas Day

Come the morning
Toys and laughter
Yeah that's the way
It's supposed to be
Then all the mornings
Ever after
Bring us hope and joy and harmony
Let the Holy star above
Shine a silver light of lovin'
Turn this world around

No child should ever cry on Christmas
No child should ever be afraid
No child should ever cry on Christmas Day

Let the Holy star above
Shine a silver light of lovin'
Turn this world around

No child should ever cry on Christmas
No child should ever be afraid
No child should ever cry on Christmas Day

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
