Ooh Yeah! is the thirteenth studio album by American pop rock duo Daryl Hall & John Oates, released on April 28, 1988. It was their first studio release in four years and their first with Arista Records. Though the album went platinum in the United States and produced a No. 3 entry with the single "Everything Your Heart Desires", as well as the singles "Missed Opportunity" and "Downtown Life" reaching number 29 and 31 respectively, it charted lower, and sold fewer copies than the band's previous albums. Ooh Yeah! was the last Hall & Oates album to feature Janna Allen as a co-writer before her 1993 death from leukemia.




Reception



Cash Box called "Downtown Life" a "sophisticated and creatively arranged tune, featuring a blistering funk groove combined with a heavy guitar feel."
