Daryl Hall

Daryl Hall (born Daryl Franklin Hohl on October 11, 1949, Pottstown, Pennsylvania) is half of the music duo Hall & Oates.

The Arista Years (1988-1990)

Hall and Oates signed with Arista Records in 1988. Their first album for the label, Ooh Yeah!, included the hits "Everything Your Heart Desires" (#3 hit in May 1988 - their last to make the top 10), "Missed Opportunity," and "Downtown Life." This may have been the last Hall and Oates album - other than greatest hits packages - that enjoyed platinum success. Hall and Oates did one more album for Arista called Change Of Season. The album's first single, "So Close" (co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi) hit #11 on the pop charts and was Hall & Oates' last major hit. Another song off the album, "Don't Hold Back Your Love," has become a Hall & Oates staple. Change of Season was a more mainstream-rock album than their previous work. Neither of these two albums attained much critical or commercial success when they were initially released, and some may even consider this period to be their least productive.
