Together, as Hall & Oates, the duo has scored more than a dozen hits, including six No. 1 singles—“Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” and “Maneater.”
Separately, the pair hasn’t fared nearly as well, though Hall did have a top five solo hit in 1986 with “Dreamtime,” his collaboration with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. He’s continued to perform as a solo artist and has produced the online/TV series Live from Daryl’s House. Oates has also continued to perform as a solo artist, releasing several albums.
At the center of their dispute was Oates’ attempted sale of his stake in Whole Oats Enterprises LLP, which controls Hall & Oates copyrights, trademarks, royalties and other assets, to Primary Wave.
In his lawsuit, Hall said that Oates committed the “ultimate partnership betrayal” by attempting to sell his share of the Hall & Oates joint venture without his permission, while Oates countered saying that Hall’s “inflammatory, outlandish, and inaccurate statements” about him left him “deeply hurt.”
With the business dispute behind them, it would seemingly open the door for the duo to reunite if their relationship can be repaired.
However, in recent interviews both artists said that was not likely to happen.
In 2024, Oates told The Associated Press he has had “no communication” with his former partner and didn’t see a reunion in the cards. “I personally don’t see it happening. It’s not in my plans at all. You can ask Daryl Hall what he thinks. But for me personally, no,” he said.
Likewise, Hall told The Times in February, a reunion was unlikely. “That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean,” Hall said. “I’ve had a lot of surprises in my life, disappointments, betrayals, so I’m kind of used to it.”
