 | | Oates attended Temple University in Philadelphia, PA during the '60s, where he met a fellow student, Daryl Hall. |
 | | After the duo were briefly members of the group Gulliver, Hall & Oates decided to make a go at it on their own, and signed a record deal with Atlantic in 1972. |
 | | As a result, Oates became a sought after producer by other artists, as he worked with Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, the Parachute Club, and Chris Sheppard, and guested on recordings by Taj Mahal, Tina B, and Icehouse, among others. |
