The Hall & Oates Hit Parade: A Look at Their Six U.S. No. 1 Singles

Daryl Hall and John Oates might not work together again due to personal disagreements. This would be a loss considering their great music.

Let’s go back in time and look at the songs that hit the biggest for this fantastic duo.

“Rich Girl” (1977)

Rich Girl," a 1976 hit by Daryl Hall & John Oates, became their first number-one single. The song was inspired by a wealthy man Daryl Hall knew.

“Kiss on My List” (1980)

Despite a commercial slump in the late '70s, Hall & Oates rebounded with 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', the song became a hit.

“Private Eyes” (1981)

"Private Eyes" uses a clever lyric to describe a suspicious lover, while the hand clap and white noise breakdown make it even more memorable.

“I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” (1981)

This song undoubtedly stands as Hall & Oates' best individual work, due to its suave, smooth, yet emotionally potent nature.

“Maneater” (1982)

Oates originally intended the song to be reggae-inspired, but Daryl Hall changed it into a soul track. Sara Allen wrote the powerful lyrics.

“Out of Touch” (1984)

This duo understood how to roll with the times. They adapted to the larger productions of the 1980s, working with Bob Clearmountain on their album "Big Bam Boom."
