Editing Hall and Oates (section)

== Legacy ==

Hall & Oates' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 recognized their status as the most successful duo in pop history. Their influence extends beyond their own recordings to include the artists who have sampled them, covered them, and learned from their example of combining soul influences with pop accessibility. Philadelphia's role in their development—the musical environment that shaped their taste, the traditions that influenced their sound—connects them to a lineage of musical innovation that defines the city's cultural contribution.<ref name="hall"/>
