Fun Fact #2
Daryl Franklin Hohl- later Hall – and John William Oates met in 1967 while participating in a band competition at the Adelphi Ballroom in Philadelphia. At the time they were both heading their own bands.
Gunfire suddenly rang out between two rival gangs, and Hohl and Oates, trying to escape, ran to the same service elevator. There they discovered that they both attended Philadelphia’ Temple University and that they both enjoyed the same type of music.
They started meeting each other on a regular basis and eventually shared numerous apartments in the city. The duo's name came about because a mailbox at one of their apartments had the inscription "Hall & Oates" on it.
