Daryl Hall has filed a restraining order against John Oates, his partner in the pop and soul duo Hall and Oates. The court documents are sealed, but the matter is known as a “contract/debt” dispute. In a 2022 podcast interview with Bill Maher, Hall stated that both Hall and Oates are brothers and not creative partners, stating that Oates is his business partner.
Added Hall, “We made records called Hall & Oates together, but we’ve always been very separate, and that’s a really important thing for me.” Hall then went on to diminish the collaborative aspect of Hall & Oates, using the duo’s 1980 No. 1 hit “Kiss on My List” as an example of their apparent creative separation. “I did all those [harmonies],” Hall said. “That’s all me.” Oates is not credited as a songwriter on “Kiss on My List,” but is listed as a co-producer with Hall.
This dashes any hopes of Filipino music fans seeing, at least, in the foreseeable future any partnership or live shows by Hall & Oates the duo that produced 29 hit singles from the 1970s to the 1980s including six number one songs such as “Rich Girl”, “Kiss On My List”, “Private Eyes”, “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)”, “Maneater”, and “Out of Touch”.
