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.
El periodo entre 1976 y 1985 fue la época dorada para Hall and Oates. Lanzaron una serie de álbumes que fueron oro y platino, produciendo una cadena de éxitos que incluía canciones como "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't

We've been through
this time together
All in my mind the love was so alive
Oh I never wanted for another
Than I saw the beginnings of a lie
Good times and the bad times
Through the good times
and the bad times with me
Good times and the bad times
Yeah I wonder why I never see
Good times and the bad times
Oh maybe there was always
something wrong
Good times and the bad times
Did I wait too long
Chorus:
You said you'd love me
for all of your life
I Don't Think So
Through the best of the best
and the worst of the times
I Don't Think So
You said the world was
a beautiful place
I Don't Think So
You swore the love was perfectly safe
I Don't Think So
People can only stay together
If in their hearts they know they
can say what's on their minds
Would you say
Good times and the bad times
If it can't really be
then I gotta move on
Good times and the bad times
Is it really time
Chorus:
You said you'd love me
for all of your life
I Don't Think So
Through the best of the best
and the worst of the times
I Don't Think So
You said the world was
a beautiful place
I Don't Think So
You swore the love was perfectly safe
I Don't Think So
Said the check's in the mail
and the mail's on time
I Don't Think So
Said out of touch ain't out of mind
I Don't Think So
Couldn't live without me,
and that's a fact
I Don't Think So
Love is real and it's not an act
I Don't Think So
Come on
Good times and the bad times
I Don't Think So
Good times and the bad times
Baby our love was a beautiful thing
I Don't Think So
Good times and the bad times
You said you'd love me
for all of your life
I Don't Think So
Good times and the bad times
Through the best of the best
and the worst of times
I Don't Think So
I Don't Think So baby oh baby
oh baby come on
I Don't Think So
The love was right but
the loving was wrong
