Personal Quotes (15)
1. [on beating Lyme Disease] I'm optimistic that I want to beat it, and I don't have nearly as bad as a lot of people get it.
2. [When asked if Lyme Disease would kill him] The more I read about it, the more I heard about it, the more it scared me.
3. [on childhood friend Todd Rundgren] Todd and I grew up almost in the same neighborhood and as kids we listened to and were influenced by pretty much the same musicians that were part of the creation of the sound of Philadelphia.
4. [on the death of Michael Jackson] When videos first started, we didn't know what to do, we just jumped around in front of a camera. Michael was the first one to take it seriously and said, "Okay, I'm gonna make these extravaganzas". He raised the bar for everybody in the '80s. On "We Are the World", we were all in the room together. He sort of clung to Diana Ross pretty much but, at one point, I was off to the side and he came over to me and said, "I hope you don't mind, but I stole 'Billie Jean' from you", and I said, "It's all right, man, I just ripped the base line off, so can you!" Michael Jackson created a style that was unique to him, he was incredible. And he didn't lip synch. While he was doing all those dances, he was singing, everybody else should take note.
5. [on the death of Mike Berniker] I remember Mike's mischievous sense of humor. He had the vision to sign Hall & Oates in the very early days, when we were relatively unproven. In regards to the music business, Mike was one of the good guys.
6. This truly is a highlight of my career... Smokey Robinson is one of my heroes as a singer and songwriter, a major influence on my own music from the very start. To be able to join forces on "Live from Daryl's House" is a real treat.
7. [on recording a song with John Oates for the first time in years] It's the song that first brought John and I together as teenagers to form a group. We shared a love for the tune, which, in my mind, is true American folk music.
8. [In 1982] Well, it was 2 years, in-between, '77-'78 was "Rich Girl" and "Voices" was '80. So, those 2 years [were] really kind of stepping out of the pressure in the limelight and to get a really strong band unit, and do some creative things within the format to try and evolve a little bit, and you can't really do that when you're under the gun, so, you have to step away from it. It's very hard to do it when people are constantly expecting things from you. It's very hard for us to do it now. We have a certain kind of evolution that we're doing within the format that we're working on now. But if we wanted to do something really radical, we have to step outside for a while.
9. [In 2009] It's an amazing thing. Every artist, either secretly or overtly, wants to be across generations, and that's the true test. You can make it and be big in your own day, but if you cross it and you become part of, I guess, history, and you start crossing through generations - that's the cool thing. That's the most exciting thing to me. It spawned this whole idea for me with my Internet show, and I do interact with new bands, especially ones that have talked about being influenced by John and me, and we're putting that talk into reality. It's really happening. There is that sort of interplay between these brand-new artists and veterans like me.
10. [After producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff offered both he and John Oates a new contract in 1973] I thought about it, and I said, "Thank you, but we really have our own version we need to explore in our own way".
11. [on the artists he truly admired] Everybody who I ever cared about has told me that they like my music: Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Al Green, The Spinners, Smokey Robinson. Everybody that matters.
12. [In 1981] I always thought the duos I heard as a kid were corny. We are more like co-soloists.
13. Traditionally, duos get accused of lots of things. We just shrugged it off.
14. I grew up in a very racially integrated place called Pottstown. It was an agricultural / industrial town which has since become a suburb of Philadelphia. I grew up basically in a black neighborhood. So my early influences musically were a mix of European- and African-rooted music, which is very typical of people from the Philadelphia area. Then when I became a teenager, I moved into Philadelphia proper and started working with local musicians who in those days were all doing the same things I was doing. And over time we sort of together formulated "The Sound of Philadelphia". And, when I say "we", it was me, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Thom Bell, The Delfonics, The Stylistics... We all knew each other, and we were all working together.
15. [on bands that had performed at Sun City in Apartheid South Africa then being booked to play at Live Aid (1985)] I think that anybody that has played there, I don't wanna... actually, I will mention names, Rod Stewart and Queen and people like that have played there, are jerks for doing it. They were more than aware of what they were doing and I think they should be called out for it.

"Philadelphia-born Daryl Hall is best known for being part of the '70s and '80s duo Hall & Oates, responsible for such hits as "Maneater," "Rich Girl," and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." Hall attended Philadelphia's Temple University, where he met future partner John Oates. They played together for a short time in the late '60s, until Oates decided to transfer schools. Hall did not let this discourage his musical career, though, and he began playing with the rock group Gulliver. The band produced one album on the Elektra label before disbanding. Hall then became a backup musician. Upon Oates' return to Philadelphia in 1972, the two got back together and formed the duo that would achieve fame later in the decade.

Hall & Oates initially performed folk-rock tunes, most of which placed on the musical charts. Tommy Mottola became their manager and got them a contract on the Atlantic record label. (Mottola was also responsible for signing Mariah Carey to Atlantic in the '80s.) The group's first album, Whole Oates, was released in 1972. The duo changed styles on the 1974 War Babies album to a harder rock sound, but ultimately disregarded that sound and returned to pop/rock.

Hall & Oates left Philadelphia for New York in 1976. They signed with RCA and produced their first Top Ten hit, "Sara Smile," in 1976. They achieved their first hit single, "Rich Girl," with the 1976 album Bigger Than the Both of Us. It was this recording that led Hall & Oates to achieve the success and fame they would continue to enjoy. Before recording further albums and hits, however, the two decided to refine their sound in the late '70s. Their songs began to sound more like rock, with more guitar solos.

It wasn't until 1980 that Hall & Oates produced another successful album -- Voices rendered such hits as "You Lost That Lovin' Feeling," "Kiss on My List," and "You Make My Dreams." That same year saw the release of Sacred Songs, a Daryl Hall solo album pairing the singer with unlikely collaborator Robert Fripp, who produced and played guitar (as well as Frippertronics) on the album; Hall also appeared on Fripp's solo album Exposure, released in 1979.

The '80s saw Hall & Oates issuing many albums, including Private Eyes and H2O, the latter of which became a double-platinum success for the duo. Because of all their hits, by 1984 Hall & Oates became the most chart-topping duo in history, topping the '60s popular folk-pop duo the Everly Brothers. Their 1984 album, Big Bam Boom, sold more than two million copies and produced four hit singles. Hall & Oates received the American Music Award for favorite pop group, also in 1984. Despite the outrageous success of the band, Hall & Oates disbanded. Both Daryl Hall and John Oates pursued solo careers -- with Hall issuing solo albums 3 Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine (1986), Soul Alone (1993), and Can't Stop Dreaming(a 1999 Japan-only release ultimately issued in altered form in the U.S. during 2003).

Hall & Oates did reunite in 1988 for the album Ooh Yeah!, but subsequently maintained a low profile, with intermittent touring and recording including 1997's Marigold Sky, an album that proved to be as successful as their first album. The 2000s saw renewed activity from the pair, with the release of Hall & Oates albums Do It for Love (2003), Our Kind of Soul (2004), Home for Christmas (2006), and Live at the Troubadour(2008).

Hall began a monthly Web television series called Live from Daryl's House in late 2007. The program, recorded in an out building on Hall's estate in the Catskills, features the performer jamming and collaborating with musicians from legendary (Smokey Robinson, Nick Lowe, Todd Rundgren) to relative newcomers (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Plain White T's, Chromeo, and Matt Nathanson). Feeling rejuvenated, Hall recorded Laughing Down Crying, his first solo album in 14 years, releasing it in the summer of 2011. He co-produced the album with Greg Bieck (Jennifer Lopez, Destiny’s Child, Ricky Martin) and Paul Pesco. The album's release was bittersweet, however, as it marked the end of a 30-year friendship and collaboration with the late producer T-Bone Wolk, who lent help on three tracks but passed away before the album was completed."
