The song, from their 1982 album H2O, which has been certified double-platinum by the R.I.A.A. for selling more than two million copies in the U.S., is one of seven Daryl Hall and John Oates albums to go platinum, along with the duo’s six gold albums and total of 29 Top 40 hits.

Daryl Hall and John Oates’ live rendition of “Maneater” will be accompanied by performances from professional dancers Karina Smirnoff, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani and Dmitry Chaplin on the show, which will feature the samba and the fox trot, as well as the elimination of a second couple from the competition. Daryl Hall and John Oates have previously appeared on prime-time network television in 2006 for an episode of Will and Grace, appeared with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, and had their music featured on American Idol. Daryl is currently host of his own critically acclaimed monthly web performance series, Live From Daryl's House, at http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/.

Over the course of their record-breaking career, which began when they met in the early ‘70s in their hometown of Philadelphia, Daryl Hall and John Oates have been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, been honored as BMI Icons, sold more than 60 million albums and chalked up eight #1 hits, including such classics as “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do),” “Sara Smile,” “She’s Gone” and “One on One,” as well as “Maneater.” Their latest album is a two-CD/DVD set, Live at the Troubadour, which they recorded during a historic set at the L.A. club in May, 2008, marking a return to the days when they first played there at the time of their first album, Abandoned Luncheonette.

Best-Selling Pop Duo of All Time Will Appear for Two Nights After Receiving BMI Icon Award on May 20

Daryl Hall and John Oates will “Return to the Troubadour,” performing at the legendary L.A. venue for the first time since they first played there 35 years ago.

The shows will take place on May 22-23, two days after the best-selling pop-rock duo of all time are saluted with a musical tribute as BMI Icons at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in L.A., hosted by organization President/CEO Del Bryant and VP/GM Writer/Publisher Relations Barbara Cane.

In addition to their catalog of chart-topping hits, the concerts at the Troubadour will feature rarely played material from some of Daryl Hall and John Oates’ early albums. The last time the two played the Troubadour was in 1973. It was Daryl and John’s first performance in Los Angeles.

“John and I have a lot of great memories associated with performing at the Troubadour, since it was our first show in LA,” said Daryl. “It’s like going back to where it all began for us. We’ve always had an enthusiastic following in Los Angeles, and this is a chance for our fans to see us up close and personal in an intimate setting.”

Daryl Hall and John Oates’ most recent appearance in the area was last summer, when they were the headliner for two-nights at the Hollywood Bowl. Most recently, Daryl has performed with KT Tunstall and the Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy on his monthly webcast, Live From Daryl’s House (www.livefromdarylshouse.com).
