On the radio today I again heard Ronald Reagan say, in one of his ramblng speeches, “black entertainers Hall and Oates”? I’m paraphrasing, because I didn’t hear it all. I was thiking about something else.  
Anyway, I’ve wondered if maybe Rich Little gets the credit, or if Ol’ Uncle Ronnie actually said it. I do remember him trying to be hip sometimes. 😉  
Peace,
