Private Eyes is the 1981 smash hit album from blue-eyed soul duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. It stands not only as a definitive album for the duo, but as a notable album for the music of the decade combining pop, rock, R&B and soul genres.

The album includes 2 Number one hits -- the title track, "Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," as well as the Top Ten hit "Did It in a Minute." "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" also spent a week at the top of the R&B charts – a rare accomplishment for a "white" act.
