Before they ever went one on one as Hall & Oates, John Oates played his first show with his longtime partner Daryl Hall in New York City.After meeting as students at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1967, the blue-eyed soul brothers behind such classics as “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Maneater” and “Out of Touch” made their debut in the middle of Greenwich Village’s fertile folk scene in the late ’60s.“[Daryl] had a doo wop group called the Temptones,” Oates, 76, told The Post outside the site of the former Gaslight Cafe where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo first played together in public — five-plus decades before their shocking breakup last fall.“They were a vocal group, and they needed a backing band.
