Daryl Hall and John Oates - New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
Daryl Hall and John Oates kept a diverse crowd happy, updating their sound just enough to make hits from the '70s and '80s feel fresh in front of a sing-along crowd at New Orleans Jazz Fest on May 5, 2013. The "rock-and-soul" duo from Philadelphia added funk, rhythm-and-blues and gospel touches to chart-toppers, such as "Maneater," "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)," and "You Make My Dreams Come True."

One day, while Grigoris is working and singing at a construction site, a conductor, Vangelis, and two bouzouki musicians happen to pass by. They listen, enchanted by his limpid voice, and suggest that he becomes a member of their orchestra. Thus, the newly-wed day laborer gets a second job at Mr. Lefteris’ night club. His wife, Marina, soon joins him at the club, and, before long, she too goes on stage, cuts capers and charms everyone. Her success, however, has a negative impact on the couple’s relationship, since Marina’s admirers as well as those of Grigoris’, turn one away from the other.
