comment |
Daryl Hall and John Oates are an American music duo from Philadelphia, consisting of Daryl Franklin Hohl (born October 11, 1946), also known as Daryl Hall, and John William Oates (born April 7, 1948). They're commonly referred to as "Hall & Oates", but neither of them ever liked that moniker and are adamant on the full name, which may be written with an "and", an ampersand, or even neither at all.Active since the 1970s, they are known for their unique brand of music, a mixture of Rock and R&B, with hits like "Sara Smile", "Private Eyes", "Out of Touch", "Kiss on My List", "Maneater", "One on One", and their cover of "Family Man". With over 40 million records sold, they are the most popular music duo in history. |

comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: They've been recording music together since 1970, meaning they've known each other longer than all of both their marriages/romantic relationships put together. As of late 2023 it's now cruelly subverted, becoming more of a case of Vitriolic Best Buds and sadly at worst We Used to Be Friends on Daryl Hall's part towards John Oates. |

Full-Name Basis: Their official credit is "Daryl Hall & John Oates". If the packaging says "Hall & Oates" (usually on budget live albums), you can be sure they didn't approve it. |

Femme Fatale: The subject of "Maneater"... at least on the surface. According to Oates, the song is actually "about NYC in the '80s. It's about greed, avarice, and spoiled riches." |

Lyrical Cold Open: "Rich Girl" starts off with an a cappella "You're a rich girl" before adding in the keyboard and some drum beats, and the full band doesn't kick in until a few lines later. |

Music Is Politics: "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", according to Oates, "is about the music business. That song is really about not being pushed around by big labels, managers, and agents and being told what to do, and being true to yourself creatively." |

Cover Version |
| | Daryl Hall & John Oates (Music) / int_cff53786 |
comment |
Cover Version: Largely averted in the first half of their career, as they only very rarely did songs not written by either man. The big exceptions were "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", which was a nod to their obvious Blue-Eyed Soul predecessors The Righteous Brothers, and "Family Man" by Mike Oldfield. Both covers were released as singles and became big hits. In their later career they recorded lots of covers and songs by outside writers. |
