Hall & Oates' legal troubles began late last year, when Daryl Hall filed suit against John Oates over the latter's plan to sell his share of their company.

Hall & Oates are officially 'Out of Touch.' John Oates, half of the legendary duo responsible for hits including 'You Make My Dreams Come True' and 'Rich Girl,' has spoken publicly for the first time regarding the pair's recent legal disputes. The two haven't worked together creatively in almost 20 years: Their last full studio album together was 2003's 'Do It for Love,' followed by a 2006 Christmas album that contained only two original songs.

' 'I mean, you look at all the artists who are selling all their catalogs. … It's not that big a deal,' Oates said. 'But Daryl didn't like the idea that I would sell to a certain third party,' whom Oates did not name. Just as in other superstar groups split over creative or personal differences, neither star could attest to a perfect partnership. 'It’s very annoying to be a duo. People always say, 'Oh, you’re the tall one, you’re the short one.
