It was 1974 when John Oates and Daryl Hall first landed on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit single “She’s Gone.” Five decades later, Oates says the song still remains one of his favorites. “It’s a defining moment in my life, in songwriting, in my collaboration with Daryl Hall. And the fact that it put he and I on the map, into the world. And the fact that the song just sounds as good today as it did when it was written 50 years ago,” Oates tells TODAY.com.
Finding his true identity in ‘Reunion’ “Every song on the album is intentional and has a connection,” says Oates, including the title track, “Reunion,” which he says was inspired by his dad, Al Oates. “ was inspired by my 100-year-old father who told me, literally, that he was going to reunite with Mom, who had passed away previously. And I thought, ‘OK, what is the real meaning of the word ‘reunion?’” Oates asks. It’s a question that ultimately led him to his own reunion of sorts.
