Happy birthday, John Oates!

John Oates, born April 7, 1948 in New York City, is half of one of the most successful duo acts in history, Hall & Oates.  He met Daryl Hall while they were attending Temple University in Philadelphia and formed the iconic duo.  He co-wrote many of their songs and was the main guitarist for the group.  

He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004, and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, as a member of Hall & Oates. 

Oates still records music as a solo artist.  His latest album Reunion was released last year. 

ABBA reunites for the first time in over 30 years!

Over the weekend at a private gala to celebrate 50 years of collaboration of song-writers Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-frid Lyngstadon joined them for an improptu performance of "Me and I".

Never say never:

“We took a break in ‘82, and it was meant to be a break,” Ulvaeus said in 2014. “It’s still a break and will remain so. You’ll never see us on stage again.”
