I left New York City for Colorado, sold everything I had, and started my life over again. Just go and look at our faces on the video of that night – it’s all online. I don’t know when we’ve had a better show.

So we thought we would bring things full circle by inviting Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin on stage with us. “We’d been there to see The Temptations just after we first met, and it had been an incredible night.

Oates told me he realised he needed a break after the duo were invited to reopen the Apollo in New York in 1985.
#HALL OATES MANEATER SERIAL#
In a disturbing twist, the serial killer David Berkowitz claimed that he’d been “inspired” to commit his 1977 “Son of Sam” killing spree by the bouncy melody to “Rich Girl”. The Seventies hits began to flow slowly from that point, including 1975’s “Sara Smile” (about Hall’s then-girlfriend and collaborator Sara Allen) and 1976’s “Rich Girl” (actually about an arrogant, ex-boyfriend of Allen). When Daryl came in the next day, he sat down at the piano and gave it a more groove-oriented R&B sound.” But she didn’t show up, so I sat on my own with this acoustic guitar, playing this sorrowful lament.

We’d seen each other once or twice and arranged to meet for New Year’s Eve. The song was written by Oates, “about a girl I met in Village in the middle of the night wearing a tutu and cowboy boots.

Hall and Oates released a succession of underselling albums throughout the 1970s, although various songs such as She’s Gone and would soon start getting airplay covered by other artists, leading to interest in them as songwriters. Hall and Oates first met in 1967 when they were each lead singers of groups on the Philadelphia scene during a particularly eventful Battle of the Bands contest where a pair of rival gangs started shooting at each other, and Daryl and John met both hiding in the same lift, and moved in together when they realised they were at the same university and into similar music. Hall and Oates, or if you will, Daryl Hall and John Oates, are an American pop rock duo formed in 1970 in Philadelphia, who are, well, singer, keyboardist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Daryl Hall (born Pottstown, Pennsylvania on October 11, 1946) and guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer John Oates (born New York City, April 7, 1948).
