Daryl Hall and John Oates, known as Hall & Oates, were an American pop rock duo from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, active from 1970 to 2024. They achieved fame in the late 1970s and 1980s with a fusion of rock, soul, and R&B, producing six number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Rich Girl," "Kiss on My List," and "Maneater." Their distinctive "blue-eyed soul" style earned them induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. In 2023, a legal dispute arose between Hall and Oates over the sale of Oates' stake in their joint venture, leading to a restraining order and subsequent arbitration. By 2024, both artists confirmed they would no longer perform together, marking the end of their decades-long collaboration.
