Nah
OK it's just that it's sad that these two are out of touch
I know right? Waited to until they've gotten old, could've been legendary only to turn on each other now....
Damn shame.
Hall & Oates are embroiled in a confidential legal battle that has led to Daryl Hall getting a restraining order against his former music partner John Oates.
Little information about the lawsuit is publicly available, as the court documents are sealed, but based on court records, Hall filed an undisclosed complaint against Oates on Nov. 16, as well as a motion for a temporary restraining order, as reported by Philadelphia magazine. The following day, the court officially issued a temporary restraining order to begin Nov. 30.
The Nashville Chancery Court confirmed the existence of the lawsuit to Variety, but declined further comment because the lawsuit is sealed
As TMZ points out, Hall disparaged Oates on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast last year, saying, “You think John Oates is my partner? … He’s my business partner. He’s not my creative partner.”
He went on, “John and I are brothers, but we are not creative brothers. We are business partners. 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-produced with Hall.
Hall & Oates met in 1967, formed their duo three years later and have released 18 studio albums since their 1972 debut, “Whole Oats.” The pop-R&B duo boasts six No. 1 singles, including “Maneater,” “Rich Girl” and “Out of Touch.” Hall & Oates toured together as recently as October 2022, and they released their latest studio album, “Home for Christmas,” in 2006. Both Hall and Oates have solo recording careers and have toured separately over the years, but the duo has never officially split up.

I thought bgol said you never see white artist beefing with each other
Once again bgol I trusteddddd youuuu
They stayed together longer than black actsTruth.
Back in the '80's Hall & Oats were a White duo who's music was always played in Harlem as well as other urban markets.
Black folks loved these two cats and their music. Hell, they were even held in high regard among many R&B and Soul performers as well.
This is totally fucked up man...
A completely irrelevant (and erroneous) observation.
Since the vast majority of musical groups eventually disband, break up or change members at some point. (Regardless of race).
I said longer, majority of bands average what 20 - 30 yrs. Black acts even shorter
Proof...?
Proof that Black folk can't stay together and get money...really?
Exactly.
Proof please...
damm thats to bad i loved there live show called the artist den... 
Name one black band besides earth wind that's still together since the 70s and 80s
Not at all what I asked you.
You made the statement about Black people.
- Again, I'm asking you to please provide proof of your claim...
Man a nearly 60 year long partnership falls apart like that, wish'em well still.
You asked me proof, I provided an example.Not at all what I asked you.
You made the statement about Black people.
- Again, I'm asking you to please provide proof of your claim...
Umm... no.
You merely "mentioned" Earth, Wind and Fire.
But you've yet to provide any proof of your claim.
So, once again.
- Please provide proof of your claim.

Those band members would be in their 70’s and up. Folks die, retire, whatever. White bands split, members overdose, quit, loose their love for it. If you can get 20 years in, you made it.
Blonde hair is the devil....
wait....you want him to name ONE black band...then you dismiss ONE BLACK BAND that answers your demand....think about that
I remember when daryl hall went on Howard stern back in the day he really shit on John oats and definitely made it sound like he was just his tag along that was lucky to have hitched a ride on his coattails(stern definitely instigated, but still) with that in mind it doesn't surprise me to see this.
He can't name a black band besides earth that's still together 20 plus years proving my pointwait....you want him to name ONE black band...then you dismiss ONE BLACK BAND that answers your demand....think about that
One of my pet hates is bands/groups/duo's beefing and breaking up. I wouldn't care if they're wack but when I dig their music it really irks me that human infallibility rears it's ugly head amongst dopeness too.
I never got over Mtume and the fatboys!
John Oates was a folk song artist when they formed. According to wiki they started to see more success with less Oates vocals.
Hall's girlfriend Sara was a big creative writing force behind some of their biggest hits and the inspiration for the song and first H&O hit Sara Smile.
Before the changes they were a mildly successful group with low charting songs. Hall's vocals and R&B influence carried the group.
Wiki also mentioned how much Halls music was referenced by other artists whiile Oates had very limited success with his independent projects.
When you read their history you can see why the music videos always made Oates look like an add in. It was probably because Oates wasn't writing, dancing, or singing like Hall
So you have to ask yourself how much production was done by the folk singer in a white leaning R&B duo with a soulful lead singer?
If you aren't writing, dancing, singing, or producing the songs that are bringing the fans, you have to ask what was Oates roll beyond business partner and creative collaborator.
