John Oates opens up about legal battle with Daryl Hall over joint business

John Oates is sharing his side of the story over his legal battle with longtime creative partner Daryl Hall .

During an interview with Michael Strahan, which was aired on "Good Morning America" on Friday, Oates said he was indeed trying to sell his share of the company and explained the reason behind his decision. According to court documents filed on Nov. 29, Hall claimed Oates' plan was unauthorized because he allegedly did not receive Hall's consent, which Hall said Oates is required to do. Hall said in the documents that Oates and his co-defendants engaged in the transaction "completely behind my back and without my written approval."

"Because we've always looked at ourselves as individuals working together," he said. "And I felt like I had the right to do that. But, you know, he didn't." When Strahan inquired if the duo, Hall and Oates, would ever perform together again, Oates answered, "Not from my point of view, but you need to ask Daryl how he feels about it."in an interview published earlier this month, Hall discussed the legal issue with Oates, saying the situation hit him by surprise.Daryl Hall

He noted that the album was recorded in Nashville, a city in which he became a resident after moving there over a decade ago."My move to Nashville has really changed everything for me," he explained. "Because before I met Daryl Hall I was kind of a roots, acoustic guitar, blues, folk musician. When we met we kind of combined our individual influences and created something totally new.
