Hall first met Oates whilst studying at Temple University in their native Philadelphia, US. After a brief period of separation, during which Hall played with rock band Gulliver, Oates reunited with Hall in 1972, after which they quickly established themselves in the world of music.Through their manager Tommy Mottola, the pair signed with Atlantic Records to release their first recordings, "Whole Oates" and "War Babies."
It was after moving to New York, US in 1976, changing to RCA Records, that the pair were to create a breakthrough hit, the Top Ten single, "Sara Smile." "Rich Girl" followed, helping to bolster the popularity of their album, "Bigger Than the Both of Us." Streamlining their sound to more straight-up rock, they continued to release quality records into the 80s, finding double-Platinum success with "H2O." The 1984 album, "Big Bam Boom" sold over two million copies and featured four hit singles, proving Hall & Oates had the songwriting credentials for the band's longevity. They became one of the most successful artists of their era, topping the charts more times than the Everly Brothers, yet it was not to last, as the pair disbanded to pursue solo careers.
Hall released a string of albums, "3 Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine" (1986), "Soul Alone" (1993) and "Can't Stop Dreaming" (1999), although they failed to live up to the heights of success that the duo had mustered previously. The pair reunited at periods during the 90s and 2000s, recording a number of albums, with 1997's "Marigold Sky" proving to be their most successful. In 2004, his songwriting process was recognized, after being inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
In 2007, Hall began a monthly web show, "Live From Daryl's House," that featured Hall and his band collaborating with a host of eclectic performers, such as Smokey Robinson, Todd Rundgren, Plain White T's and Chromeo. The success of the series reinvigorated Hall, who recorded "Laughing Down Crying," his first solo venture in 14 years, released in 2011. The euphoria of regaining success was short-lived, however, after the death of his longtime producer, T-Bone Wolk, before the album's completion.

With crazily catchy hits like ‘Maneater’, ‘Private Eyes’ and ‘Rich Girl’ all a part of Daryl Hall’s repertoire, it’s kind of a no-brainer that a Hall & Oates concert would be out-of-this world awesome. Despite being in their sixties, the duo absolutely bring it when they perform live. Their energy is infectious and it’s no wonder that every time I’ve seen them perform, I’ve woken up totally exhausted the next day. A Hall & Oates gig is an all-singing, all-dancing affair just as you might expect. It’s amazing how cool Daryl Hall still looks up on stage with his flowing blonde locks and wraparound shades; if I manage even a fraction of his coolness in my sixties I’ll be happy. Standing in the crowd and looking up at Daryl as he opens a gig, you just know that when the lights go down and his band starts to play, that this man is one hundred percent at home up on stage. Whether he’s touring his solo work, or performing his power-pop-rock hits alongside John Oates, you’re guaranteed to have a night you won’t forget. I’m a firm believe that there is a Hall & Oates song appropriate for every life event, and, as cliché as this might be, the song that most accurately reflects how it feels to catch a Daryl Hall concert is obviously ‘You Make My Dreams’. Go see him live. Seriously.

Although Daryl Hall is consistently committed to the duo Hall & Oates, he does occasionally take to the road solo to air some of his own releases as well as covers from his infamous band. Considered to be one of the most gifted songwriters of the 20th century, it seemed pretty natural for Daryl to have a side project throughout the career and he collaborated often with esteemed producer Robert Fripp.
Although Hall & Oates have a larger pull for the fanbase, the venue is still packed out tonight for Daryl's solo headline show and as he steps onto the stage the whole audience cheer largely. He hand selects his own personal favourite work from the discography including the sincere 'Eyes for You (Ain't No Doubt About It)' along with the recognisable Hall & Oates tracks such as 'Private Eyes' and 'Man-eater'. The audience watches on in quiet anticipation as Hall keeps the show pacy before culminating in 'I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)' which has the whole room singing. He has saved two gems for the encore of 'Rich Girl' and 'You Make My Dreams' before he exits to even larger applause than when he appears.

Daryl Hall is what dreams are made of for Music. Whomever he sings with is the icing on the cake. He just makes music better, performers better, musicians better. I followed his career and most concerts where I could attend. My family became instant big fans. Was also there the night of the Grand Opening Of Daryls House in New York with John Oates. Also saw him many times in New York and Pa.
Daryl when you come to Orlando this summer have Rumer and Todd Rundgren with you also. Let me know. and Thank you for the Music and lyrics. Teresa Asaro
