En Filadelfia, a finales de los años sesenta, Daryl Hall y John Oates se conocieron de una forma bastante peculiar. Ambos asistían a la Universidad de Temple y, aunque formaban parte de diferentes bandas, coincidieron en un concurso de talentos local. Una pelea que estalló durante el evento los llevó a refugiarse en la misma escalera de incendios y a descubrir que compartían intereses musicales similares. Este encuentro inicial marcó el inicio de una de las colaboraciones más exitosas en la historia de la música pop.
Después de su reunión casual, Hall y Oates decidieron iniciar una colaboración formal en 1970. Firmaron con Atlantic Records y lanzaron su primer álbum, Whole Oats, en 1972. Aunque el álbum no tuvo un gran éxito comercial, estableció las bases para su sonido único: una mezcla de soul, rock y pop que luego sería conocido como "blue-eyed soul".
Su primer gran éxito llegó en 1975 con el álbum Daryl Hall & John Oates, que incluía el sencillo "Sara Smile", una canción escrita por Hall para su entonces novia Sara Allen. "Sara Smile" se convirtió en un éxito rotundo, alcanzando el número 4 en las listas de Billboard.

The leaves are falling
December is calling
Feels like that time of the year
Ooh, and a chill in my bones
Got me thinking of home
Home and the one I hold dear
I think that I missed my connection
Stranded and feeling alone
But no matter how mean
This hard road treated me
I always can find my way home
'Cause you know that you're in my heart, yeah
And I always come home for Christmas
Oh, near or apart, oh, so close, oh, so far
I still come home for Christmas
It might be just for a day, oh
But I still come home for Christmas
Oh, how I wish I could stay
'Cause the years slip away
I come home for Christmas
And I always come home
