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
