Daryl Hall & John Oates have become such musical influences on some of today’s popular artists. So much so, that they've landed themselves as one of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion.

From the mid-‘70s to the mid-‘80s, the duo would score six #1 singles from their six consecutive multi-platinum albums—’76’s Bigger Than Both of Us, ’80’s Voices, ’81’s Private Eyes, ‘82’s H2O, ‘83’s Rock N Soul, Part I and ‘84’s Big Bam Boom.

The era would also produce an additional 5 Top 10 singles, 'Sara Smile', 'One on One', 'You Make My Dreams', 'Say It Isn’t So' and 'Method of Modern Love.”
