How old is Daryl Hall? That is a question many fans of both pop music in general have been asking since the mid 1980’s. The answer to that question may be tricky as it is relative to many other singers and musicians of the time, but it is easy to answer for a person who has seen and heard all that this artist has to offer. The answer is very likely to vary depending on who you ask. Many people will say that he was very young, in fact quite young indeed, but others will say he was older than that. For those that doubt the validity of answers given, there is proof to suggest that Hall may actually be older than most fans give him credit for.
The answer to the question, “how old is Daryl Hall?” can also be used to assess whether or not the legendary country songstress is a true rock blues, soul singer, or what have you. If you ask some fans if they think Hall is a true rock star they will say yes. If you ask these same fans who also believe Hall is a blues man or a soul singer if they think he is truly a blues man they will say yes again.
This leads to a question of how old Hall really is: Assuming that Hall is indeed a seventy-year-old man according to various sources including his birth certificate and the real age given by his fans, he would be considered very old in the American culture in terms of being a rock star, at least in the mainstream entertainment industry. Hall is not the only famous singer or guitar player that was considered to be old when he was younger. Steve Vai was actually born as Frank Vai but grew to become one of the most well known and successful guitarists of his generation, and was actually seventy when he was thirty-five. So, we have two examples of well-known performers who were considered to be very young when they were actually much older in their career.
Hall was actually born on October 11, 1946, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: That is very precise, almost exactly as it is on the birth certificate, except for the year. It is interesting to note that Hall’s real name was George Bernard Shaw, and that he went by the name Bernard Shaw throughout his lifetime. So, how old is Daryl Hall, and how did he get the name, George Bernard, to start out with? This is an interesting bit of information, and shows just how far reaching the reach of famous songwriters and guitar players has become over the years.
How old is Daryl Hall, and who does he married twice? This is another interesting piece of information that may surprise some of you. According to Hall’s own father, Hall was married twice: once to Flo Hubley of Kansas City blues legend Old Joe Sharkey and secondly to actress and songwriter Paulaubsie Busch. Now, if this is true, it would make sense for Hall to be very proud of his second marriage, as it occurred after a lengthy career in which he had been single. The Busch connection was made through Hubley, who had been his secretary for many years, and had been very good friends with both Busch and Hall.
Now, if all this information: about how old is Daryl Hall makes you think that he is a successful songwriter who has an estimated net worth of forty million dollars, you are absolutely wrong. Of course, Hall is certainly not a bad fellow. In fact, he is probably a very nice man. All that being said, it would be extremely difficult for any professional songwriter of decent caliber to be classified as old, at least by Hall’s own admission of two marriages.
The question then, does that mean that Hall’s songs have an estimated net worth of forty million dollars?
