HALL & OATES
Daryl Hall & John Oates combined forces in 1972 and became one of pop music's most successful duos. The 2 first met at university in 1967. Both were involved in the Philadelphia music scene and soon decided to work together in R&B groups. They parted ways the following year, but re-united in 1969. Hall & Oates started writing songs and performing as a duo.
Tommy Mottola started managing the pair. They signed with Atlantic Records. Over the duo's first albums, the sound of Hall & Oates evolved from folk to blue-eyed soul. 
This development resulted in the #4 hit "Sara Smile" in 1975. "She's Gone" followed it into the US Top 10. Hall & Oates secured its 1st American #1 single in 1977 with "Rich Girl".
The duo enjoyed even greater success in the 1980s. Beginning with "How Does It Feel To Be Back" and a remake of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", Hall & Oates became regular visitors to the Top 10. A string of US #1s ensued: "Kiss On My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)", "Maneater" and "Out Of Touch". 
Hall & Oates recorded a live album in 1985 with guests Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffin (formerly of The Temptations) at New York's Apollo Theatre. In 1986, Hall released a solo album. 
By now, public taste had moved on. A return to the upper rungs of the charts has eluded them thus far. Nevertheless, Hall and Oates continue recording and performing- as soloists and as a duo- to this day.
