Daryl Hall and John Oates were staples of early-80s radio, landing a string of hits near the top of the charts. 'Maneater', 'Private Eyes', 'Out Of Touch', 'Kiss On My List', and 'I Can't Go For That' all hit #1, and 8 others cracked the Top Ten during the decade.
On the majority of these hits, Hall & Oates' band featured G.E. Smith on lead guitar and Tom 'T-Bone' Wolk on bass. Smith was married to Saturday Night Live star Gilda Radner from 1980-1982, and, after leaving Hall & Oates' band, he was the SNL band leader from 1985-1995. Wolk played bass in the SNL band during Smith's tenure as band leader.
