Together they produced ten No. 1 records and their twenty-one albums are studded with over twenty Top 40 hits including favorites such as “Rich Girl” (also #1 R&B), “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” (also #1 R&B), “Maneater,” “Out of Touch,” “Sara Smile,” “One on One,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Say It Isn’t So,” and “Method of Modern Love.”

Both artists remain active in the music scene sharing not only their personal passion for music but each contributing in a different way to supporting up-and-coming creatives. OATES as the creator and executive producer of “7908 the Aspen Songwriters Festival” that unites songwriters from around the globe. While HALL invites the world to have a front row seat in his “living room” as established and rising artists come together to play in the multi-award winning TV show, “Live From Daryl’s House.”
