Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall at Radio City: Review and Set List

For those scratching their heads after hearing those two names together — this writer included when she initially heard it several months ago — there is a history. Four decades ago, Hall contributed harmony vocals to one of Costello's albums, 1984's Goodbye Cruel World, on a song called "The Only Flame in Town."

From Costello's album liner notes: "Naturally, my romantic rival was Daryl, but my only real humiliation was in having a Columbia promotion woman hector the makeup girl: 'Make him look handsome,' while a very hungover Daryl sat in the next chair looking like a movie star. His hair was perfect.")
