Brzmienie grupy opierało się na połączeniu falsetu Halla i ciepłego barytonu jego partnera. Daryl Hall
(właśc. Daryl Franklin Hohl, ur. 11.10.1949 r. w Pottstown w stanie
Pensylwania, USA), student Temple University, debiutował jako refrenista
grupy The Temptones, a w 1966 r. nagrał singel, którego producentem był Kenny Gamble. W późniejszym okresie występował solo i z własnym soft-rockowym zespołem Gulliver, w którym jako gitarzysta towarzyszył mu Tim Moore.
Po kilku nagraniach dla wytwórni Elektra poznał w 1969 r. Johna Oatesa (ur. 7.04.1949 r. w Nowym Jorku), eks-członka soulowej grupy The Masters z Filadelfii. Odkrywcą duetu był Tommy Mottola,
wówczas kierownik miejscowej filii wydawnictwa Chappell Music, który
jako menedżer doprowadził do podpisania przez Halla i Oatesa kontraktu z
wytwórnią Atlantic.
Producentami trzech pierwszych albumów duetu byli wprawdzie renomowani artyści (Arif Mardin - Whole Oates; Todd Rundgren - War Babies), jednak płyty nie stały się bestsellerami. Przełomem okazał się longplay Abandoned Luncheonette, z którego pochodziła klasyczna ballada soulowa "She's Gone". Prawdziwym przebojem stał się jednak singlowy temat "Sara Smile" - pierwsze z nagrań wydanych przez RCA. W 1977 r. sukces powtórzyła piosenka "Rich Girl" (pierwsze miejsce na listach amerykańskich).
Longplay X~Static
prezentował o wiele bardziej komercyjne oblicze formacji, oparte na
modnych dyskotekowych rytmach. Dużo ambitniejszą próbą był album Voices z 1980 r. Do najpopularniejszych tematów z płyty należał remake "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (wielkiego przeboju The Righteous Brothers z 1965 r.) oraz "Every Time You Go Away" (singlowy bestseller Paula Younga z 1985 r.).
Następne pięć lat przyniosło duetowi całą serię trafiających bezbłędnie w gusta słuchaczy przebojów. w tym: "Maneater","I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)","Out Of Touch" (współprodukcji Arthura Bakera) i "Family Man" (autorstwa Mike'a Oldfielda). Na albumie Live At The Apollo duetowi towarzyszyli eks-członkowie The Temptations, Eddie Kendricks i David Ruffin.
Wkrótce potem drogi partnerów rozeszły się na trzy lata, podczas których Hall nagrał drugi solowy longplay. z Dave'em Stewartem w roli producenta. W 1988 r. duet reaktywował się, czego efektem był wydany przez wytwórnię Arista amerykański przebój "Everything Your Heart Desires". Dwa lata później muzycy zanotowali kolejny singlowy przebój, "So Close", którego producentami byli Jon Bon Jovi i Danny Kortchmar.
Dodali oni soulowemu brzmieniu duetu rockowej pikanterii. W następnych
latach piosenkarze wiele koncertowali, przygotowując równocześnie
kolejny longplay. W wolnych chwilach Hall nagrał swoje trzecie solowe
dzieło, Soul Alone.
