Группа активно работала 1964-67 года, в составе которой участвовали клавишник Jon Lord (до Deep Purple), фронмен и вокалист Art Wood (старший брат легендарного Ronnie Wood), ударник Keef Hartley (до Keef Hartley Band), гитарист Derek Griffiths и бассист Malcolm Pool.

H2O is the eleventh studio album from Daryl Hall and John Oates, released in 1982. A hit, it featured three top 10 US singles, one being "Maneater", which was the biggest hit of their career, spending four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album title is a play on the chemical formula for water, where "H" is for Hall, and "O" is for Oates.
