Tis the season for some crazy music news. Legendary duo Hall and Oates are at odds with each other. TMZ was the first to break the news that there was some grumbling in the Hall and Oates camp. According to TMZ, Daryl Hall filed a lawsuit — and a motion for a temporary restraining order against his former bandmate John Oates.
There have always been rumors of discontent in the Hall and Oates camp going back years. My wife who covers a lot of music told me that the pair enter separately onstage. They barely get pictures together as they stand separately on stage/ They also want to be billed separately not as Hall and Oates, but by their own individual names. We get it people evolve and get more mature, but it really sucks that such a duo that has meant a lot to their fans is now fighting.
The duo formed in Philadelphia in 1970. Daryl Hall is generally the lead vocalist; John Oates primarily plays the electric guitar and provides backing vocals. The duo have many number-one hits including Private Eyes and Rich Girl. We are asking radio stations from Philadelphia like 93.3 WMMR and WMGK 102.9 to play a classic Hall and Oates song once a day. And maybe just maybe this lawsuit can be dropped and Daryl Hall and John Oates can be bandmates, and friends once more. It will take a Christmas miracle, but hopefully, they resolve things fast.
Check out a Christmas song by Hall and Oates during happier times.
