Hall & Oates | I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)(Change Request ReVision)
For this ReVision, I took on this classic by a duo who needs no introduction. Dropped right in the middle of their seemingly endless hit factory streak, this song was the second single from their tenth studio album, 1981's Private Eyes.
Landing them their fourth number-one hit single and the second from the same album, this song was written quickly in-between recording sessions for Private Eyes.
This song makes iconic of the fairly new Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm at the centerpiece rhythm section. The CR-78 was Roland's first microchip-based programmable drum machine. This machine this song marked the beginning of what would become the golden era of synthetic drums taking over the airwaves.
Released in March of 1981, “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” along with Phil Collins' January 1981 single, “In The Air Tonight”—which also prominently featured the Roland CR-78—would make this first programmable machine from Roland an icon overnight.
This song also features the state of the art Dave Smith Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, a Korg organ baseline, Fender Rhodes, and simple, but effective guitar motifs. I recreated this song with a Roland CR-78, Prophet 5, Fender Rhodes, Vox Continental Organ, and Live Bass.
Enjoy!
