Hall and Oates: Last News

got a restraining order against John Oates — his blue-eyed-soul brother in the best-selling duo in pop history — it seemed as if the pair that ruled the ’80s with their big hair and even bigger hooks had shockingly lost all of “that lovin’ feelin’” for each other.But as wild as it first seemed, this was not about physical protection — this was strictly a business move to block Oates from selling his share in the pair’s Whole Oats Enterprises to music publishing company Primary Wave.And while Oates can’t discuss the ongoing legal battle amid the breakup that had many of us vacillating between “I Can’t Go for That” and “Say It Isn’t So,” he’s still singing his longtime partner’s praises — even as he begins the next act of his career with “Reunion,” his new solo album, out Friday.“Daryl’s voice was the one that was on all the hits … And you know, listen, Daryl’s one of the greatest singers of all time,” Oates told The Post outside of the former site of the Gaslight Cafe, the Greenwich Village coffeehouse where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo played their first New York show together in the late ’60s — when they were both in different groups.“And so when you’re with one of the greatest singers of all time, of course you’re not going to be the frontman.

The Beatles broke up.Not to mention the Police, Talking Heads and Guns n’ Roses (sorry, Axl, it’s not GNR without Slash).And who could forget the troubled water that couldn’t be bridged by Simon & Garfunkel?But even some of those bands who have managed to stay together — in some form or fashion — have had as much hate as harmony. Fleetwood Mac, anyone?Still, it’s been a particularly painful period for some beloved bands.

Before they ever went one on one as Hall & Oates, John Oates played his first show with his longtime partner Daryl Hall in New York City.After meeting as students at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1967, the blue-eyed soul brothers behind such classics as “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” made their debut in the middle of Greenwich Village’s fertile folk scene in the late ’60s.“[Daryl] had a doo wop group called the Temptones,” Oates, 76, told The Post outside the site of the former Gaslight Cafe where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo first played together in public — five-plus decades before their shocking breakup last fall.“They were a vocal group, and they needed a backing band. They had a backing band, and they lost their guitar player,” he recalled.

John Oates revisited Electric Lady Studios — the legendary recording mecca in Greenwich Village, Manhattan where Hall & Oates made many of their ‘80s classics — he got back in touch with one particular hit.That would be “Maneater,” the longest-running of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo’s six No. 1 singles.Released in October 1982 as the first single from Hall & Oates’ double-platinum “H2O” album, the song was inspired by a woman who Oates encountered back in those wild Village days — decades before his and Daryl Hall’s shocking band split last fall.“A couple streets over, there was a restaurant called Marylou’s, and it was a late-night hang,” Oates, 76, exclusively told The Post outside of Electric Lady Studios, where the twosome recorded 1981’s “Private Eyes” and 1984’s “Big Bam Boom” in addition to 1982’s “H2O.”“And I was in there one night with a group of friends sitting at a table, and this gal came in, and she was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous,” he recalled.
