Yes, young Daryl certainly was a beaut. A great musician & singer too, & a truly electrifying stage presence. The H&O story is interesting too - they're the most successful recording duo in music history, but in the late 80s they ended up broke (Oates more so than Hall). From their start together in the late 60s, homophobes would deride H&O for seeming to be gay, but their response was always, "So what? What if we are? What would be wrong with that? And what's it to you?" They often made a point in their publicity stills to be shot so it would appear they might be as much a couple as a duo.
