Rich Girl, Kiss on My List, Private Eyes, I Can't Go For That (No Can Do), Maneater and Out of Touch are just some of the songs that have made Daryl Hall and John Oates the number-one selling duo in music history.
Hall & Oates have become such musical influences on some of today's popular artists. One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion.
Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegun in the 1970's, they have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette yielded the Top 10 single, She's Gone, which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Taveras. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies, before they left and promptly signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom.
From the mid-'70's to the mid-'80's, the duo would score six #1 singles from their six consecutive multi-platinum albums — '76's Bigger Than Both of Us, '80's Voices, '81's Private Eyes, '82's H2O, '83's Rock N Soul, Part I and '84's Big Bam Boom. The era would also produce an additional 5 Top 10 singles, Sara Smile, One on One, You Make My Dreams, Say It Isn't So and Method of Modern Love. By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognised Daryl Hall and John Oates as the number-one selling duo in music history, a record they still hold today. They are also 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees.
