Here’s the shocking reason Daryl Hall is suing John Oates: source

John Oates has filed a first-person declaration defending himself after his longtime music partner and one-half of Hall & Oates, Daryl Hall, has accused him of trying to sell his part of their music rights.“Far from becoming ‘adversarial and aggressive instead of professional and courteous,’ as Daryl has claimed, over the last 50 years I have always devoted my energy to ensuring that both the public and the music industry perceive the Hall & Oates music and brand in the most positive light,” Oates, 75, said in his court documents, obtained by Billboard.Oates claims that the pair “have not seen eye to eye,” but he has presented “opportunities to improve and protect the business and artistic integrity of the partnership.”“In fact, Daryl has become unwilling to work with me to try to protect the marks and other intellectual property that we spent decades building,” he continued to allege.“[Just Hall has] consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group,” he went on,” and “now [I] must act with truthfulness and make decisions that are right for myself, my family, and my artistic future.”On Nov. 16, Hall, 77, and his organization, the Daryl Hall Revocable Trust, filed an initial lawsuit against Oates’ trust, the John W.

the Hall & Oates drama continues — with Daryl Hall suing John Oates and getting a restraining order against his longtime partner to block the sale of his share of their publishing royalties to Primary Wave — it’s clear that being in one of music’s biggest duos isn’t always the stuff of making your dreams come true.In fact, being in a duo — as opposed to a band — has been a particularly difficult musical marriage to negotiate throughout pop history. It’s a curse that Hall & Oates managed to avoid for five decades until it even caught up to them deep into their 70s.Here are some other top twosomes who ultimately became out of touch.The Tennessee twosome of Don Everly and his younger brother, Phil, were early rock pioneers in the late ’50s with hits such as “Bye Bye Love,” “Wake Up Little Susie” and “All I Have to Do Is Dream.” But all was not as smooth as their harmonies for the brothers.After they both enlisted in the Marines in 1961, they had relatively little success once they were discharged.
