Hall & Oates

With their unique blend of soul, pop, rock and folk, Hall & Oates made accessible, melodic music that has stood the test of time far better than most of their hitmaker contemporaries.

Despite a versatility uncommon for musical artists of any era, few acts are more strongly linked to the '80s than the long-running duo of Daryl Hall & John Oates. During the first half of the decade, the pair forged an impressive status as reliable hitmakers that was simply unmatched.
