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

Keep on missing each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is Missed Opportunity
And we -
(Keep on missing each other)
Keep missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is Missed Opportunity
Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when you're losing the fight
Who's your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
oh baby you don't hear what I'm sayin'
We had a chance to stay together
Ooh forever
But we got lost in a dream
(Keep on missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
So all I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Opportunity
And we (keep on missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
Talk but never show
You're holding back
Words lack meaning that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
Who understands
Why the world's nasty girl
When we're doin' the best we can
Even tho we're walking a wire
Where there's hope there's desire
Calling you back to your white knight
(Keep on missing each other)
Missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
And we
(Keep on missing each other)
Keep missing each other
(Our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Missed Opportunity
Yeah right
Now baby who understands
Not me, not me
Oh yeah
I (keep on missing each other)
Our (our world's out of order)
All I see is
(Missed Opportunity)
Oh we keep holding on
(keep on missing each other)
Can't together baby
(Our world's out of order)
It seems to me we're wasting all our time
(Missed Opportunity)
That's right
Oh holding on
(Keep on missing each other)
I try to keep holding on
(Our world's out of order)
No use baby, keep missing
(Missed Opportunity)
I tried
(And we keep on missing each other)
Tried so hard
(Our world's out of order)
I could've been, should've been
(Missed Opportunity)
(We keep on missing each other)
Oh we almost made it baby
(Our world's out of order)
Tried so hard and we got so close
(Missed Opportunity)
Oh we keep holding on
