The list of hits by Daryl Hall and John Oates goes on forever. Beginning with “She’s Gone” in 1974, they were consistently found on the charts and on MTV over the next ten years. Their releases include the #1 singles “Rich Girl,” “Kiss On My List,” “Maneater,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” and “Out of Touch.” The duo will be honored with the Chairman’s Award for Sustained Creative Achievement by The National Association of Recording Merchandisers this summer.
