Hall & Oates, Still A Duo, Now In Legal Battle

The number-one selling duo in music history, Hall & Oates, are now in a legal battle.

Musician Daryl Hall of the duo Hall & Oates has filed a lawsuit against his former counterpart, John Oates. According to documents filed on Nov. 16 and 17 in Nashville Chancery Court, Hall filed a suit under the "contract/debt" category as well as a restraining order.

The Nashville Tennessean reports very little information is available about the lawsuit due to its contents being sealed.

According to the available documents, the suit was filed against John Oates as well as his wife Amy J. Oates and another party, Richard Flynn, both co-trustees of The John W. Oates TISA Trust.

The legal filing in Nashville also included the temporary restraining order with a $50,000 bond.

Daryl Hall and John Oates formed the pop duo Hall & Oates in the early 1970s in Philadelphia, PA. The two took the pop genre by storm over the years with recognizable hits "You Make My Dreams (Come True)," "Maneater" and "Rich Girl."

The duo never publicly split up, but in recent years the two have mentioned to several outlets that they have been interested in exploring individual careers and moving away from their original cannon of hits.
