Hall and Oates Tickets- Daryl Hall and John Oates by Brent Warnken

Since 1974, Hall and Oates have been climbing the music charts. Get Hall and Oates tickets and see them perform the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." The duo mounted a comeback in 1997 with Marigold Sky, but 2003's Do It for Love was far better than their 1997 album. The group released a soul covers record called Our Kind of Soul in 2004. The musicians decided to release a "greatest-hits" album, with no fewer than 15 different collections seeing the light by 2008. During this time, Hall and Oates focused on a couple of live records. They produced the A&E Live by Request release Live in Concert in 2003, In Concert in 2006, and the Live at the Troubadour (two-CD/one-DVD set) in 2008.

From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates' smooth, catchy take on Philly soul brought them enormous commercial success throughout their career, which included six number one singles and six platinum albums. Their songs were well constructed and were filled with strong hooks and melodies. Hall began performing professionally while he was a student at Temple University. In 1967, Hall met Oates, who was also attending Temple University. The two students realized they both had similar taste and began performing together in a couple of different R&B and doo wop groups. Although the group released Elektra in the late '60s, the duo parted ways because Oates transferred schools and Hall formed a soft rock band called Gulliver.

After Oates returned to Philadelphia in 1969 after the breakup of Gulliver, Hall and Oates started to write folk-oriented songs and performed together. Their music caught the attention of Tommy Mottola, who became their manager and immediately inked the duo to a contract with Atlantic Records. Hall and Oates abandoned much of their folk influences and established their sound in Whole Oates (1972), (Abandoned Luncheonette (1973), and War Babies (1974). During the spring of 1974, the group scored a successful hit called "She's Gone." After the group moved to RCA in 1975, the musicians blended pop, soul, and rock when they created their Top Ten single, "Sara Smile." The success of "Sara Smile" prompted the group to re-release "She's Gone," which soared into the Top Ten as well.

In 1976, Bigger than the Both of Us was released, but the record didn't take off until 1977, when "Rich Girl" became the duo's first number one single. In 1980, Hall and Oates released Voices. Their first single from that album was a cover of the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." The duos second single, "Kiss on My List" became their second number one single. The following year, Hall and Oates released Private Eyes. That record featured two number one hits ("Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do). Private Eyes also had a Top Ten hit entitled "Did It in a Minute." H20 followed in 1982, which sold over two million copies and launched their biggest hit single, "Maneater." The Top Ten hits on H20 include "Family Man" and "One on One."
