Who played the solo on "Kiss on my List" by Hall and Oates?

It's a long shot, but hell, if you guys don't know, who will?

1. Off the top of my head I'd say 'G. E. Smith'.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. That would be my guess

[chaska]

3. No way in hell. That guy sucks, and that solo is really good.

11. Sorry, but I think it's G. E. Smith:

During that period of Smith's life another big break took place when the blue-eyed soulsters Daryl Hall and John Oates came calling. Not only was Smith hired to play lead guitar for Hall & Oates, he stayed for six years (1979-85) constantly touring and recording with them, racking up hit after hit with songs like "Private Eyes", "Man Eater", "Kiss On My List" and others. "It was insanely fun," he recalls. "We were so big that one year, we decided we would perform during summer -- all year 'round! We toured the northern hemisphere in the summer and the southern hemisphere during New York's winter."

12. we have a winner.

Gentle Giant (Gentle giant was a great band, BTW) wins. I found similar evidence that seems to indicate that it was indeed Jeff Southworth.

I've seen GE many times on TV and once in person. Definitely was not him.

14. Smith was married to Gilda Radner for a while

15. Solo what ?

:shrug: A solo ? In the 80's ? Hmmmm ....

I can't remember any of their stuff being musically worthwhile at all ... it was so .... poppish.
