As one of the most sampled artists today, the impact of Daryl Hall and John Oates can be heard everywhere from Boy Band harmonies to Neo-Soul to Rap-Rock Fusion. Their influence extends from Rob Thomas and John Mayer to Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, and Gym Class Heroes.
Daryl Hall and John Oates’ 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, yielded the Top 10 single, “She’s Gone,” which also went to No. 1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Tavares. The duo recorded one more album with their original label before they signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom.
From the mid-‘70s to the mid-‘80s, the duo would score six No. 1 singles, including “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),” “Maneater,” and “Out of Touch,” from their six consecutive multi-Platinum albums. The era would also produce an additional five Top 10 singles, “Sara Smile,” “One on One,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Say It Isn’t So,” and “Method of Modern Love.”
By 1987, the R.I.A.A. recognized Daryl Hall and John Oates as the best-selling duo in music history, a record they still hold today.
In 2014, Daryl Hall and John Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Tickets on sale Friday, April 29th
Singer, songwriter, and musician Toby Keith returns to Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:00pm on Saturday, July 30th for his 19th consecutive headlining tour.
Tickets are $85, $75, and a very limited amount at $25, and go on sale Friday, April 29th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, April 30th, subject to availability.
The familiar maxim of the triple threat–singer, songwriter, musician–does not begin to cover it for Toby Keith, one of the modern era’s most complete self-directed hit makers. Keith’s most recent years are a remarkably accurate representation of his entire career. In 2021, he was bestowed the National Medal of Arts to honor his artistic achievements and contributions to the arts and culture of America, as well as inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and honored with the Academy of Country Music’s prestigious Merle Haggard Spirit Award for “following his own path, crafting great songs and epitomizing Merle’s spirit.” In October, he released a new studio album, Peso In My Pocket, that led with the single “Old School” which debuted at the highest radio entrance on Billboard’s airplay chart.
In 2018, he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his debut No. 1 single, “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” with the re-release of his debut album (remastered with the addition of three vault tracks). From the moment that song was released and shot up the charts to become his first No. 1, the engine driving everything has been the music. Toby has sold more than 40 million albums and has 32 No. 1 hit singles. He wrote a #1 hit every year for 20 straight years, including “Who’s That Man,” “Me Too,” “How Do You Like Me Now?!,” and “You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like This.”
In 2018, Keith also released a new song, “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” which was inspired by a conversation he had with Clint Eastwood and was later featured in Eastwood’s movie, The Mule. In 2015, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.
Toby’s most rewarding experiences, however, have come from giving back locally, nationally, and abroad. His annual golf classics fund the Toby Keith Foundation and OK Kids Korral, a cost-free home for families of children dealing with critical illnesses. His 11 USO Tours to date have enhanced the lives of nearly 256,000 troops and military families in 18 countries with more than 285 events and have been recognized with the Spirit of the USO Award (2014). And when a tornado ravaged his hometown, Toby Keith was the face of the community and helped shoulder the cleanup with the 2013 OK Twister Relief Concert. Triple threat? How about singer, songwriter, musician, producer, entertainer, humanitarian, Oklahoman and patriot.
