John Oates is sharing his side of the story over his legal battle with longtime creative partner Daryl Hall. The legendary rock duo, known as Daryl Hall & John Oates, have been business partners for over 50 years and are famous for their huge hits like "Rich Girl" and "You Make My Dreams."

It was 1974 when John Oates and Daryl Hall first landed on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit single “She’s Gone.”
