About Hall and Oates
Hall and Oates were a pop/rock duo in the early 70s through the late 80s. They are known for their amazing number of chart hits that have charted high and a number of musical charts. The duo consists of Daryl Hall who, most of the time, acts as the main vocal, and John Oates who plays the electric guitar and provides backing vocals. Though the group is still together to this day, they do not have as large a following or the fame they did back in the 80s.
