Hall and Oates to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Rock’s top-selling duo Daryl Hall and John Oates will be honored with the 2,587th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

Music executive Jerry Greenberg will join Hall and Oates in speaking at the 11:30 a.m. ceremony in front of the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Boulevard.

Hall and Oates formed their partnership in 1972, going on to record 21 albums, which have sold more than 80 million copies. They were recognized as rock’s all-time top selling duo in 1987 by the music industry trade organization the Recording Industry Association of America, a distinction they still hold.

From the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, they had six No. 1 singles — “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),” “Maneater” and “Out of Touch.”

Hall also wrote “Everytime You Go Away,” which Paul Young made a No. 1 hit in 1985.

Hall and Oates were among the artists performing on “We Are the World” and closed the Philadelphia portion of Live Aid, both in 1985. They were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and the American Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005.

Since 2007, Hall has hosted the monthly web series and MTV Live show “Live From Daryl’s House,” which stemmed from his idea of “playing with my friends and putting it up on the internet.”

Oates released his latest solo project in 2014, “Good Road to Follow,” a three-disc set of genre-specific extended play albums.

Today’s ceremony comes one day before Hall and Oates perform at the inaugural Blue Sun Music & Wine Festival on the Westlake Golf Course in Westlake Village.
