Legendary hit makers Daryl Hall and John Oates debuted their new box set "Do What You Want, Be What You Are" (RCA/Legacy) on QVC on September 21, 2009 with a special live performance.

During the "QVC Presents QSessions Live Featuring Daryl Hall and John Oates" broadcast, the number one selling duo of all time performed a selection of songs from the four-disc compilation, including "Rich Girl," "Maneater," "Private Eyes," "Sara Smile," "She's Gone," and more. Daryl Hall and John Oates also offered fans the opportunity to order the set, which was specially packaged for QVC shoppers with an eight-track live bonus CD (previously unreleased), nearly a month before street date.

"As one of the most influential acts of our time, Daryl Hall and John Oates continue to entertain fans with their legacy of hits," said Rich Yoegel, director of merchandising for QVC. "It is truly an honor to have them debut this collection on QVC and to have them perform live for our viewers."

Do What You Want, Be What You Are marks the first comprehensive multi-CD, multi-label deluxe box set compilation ever assembled from Daryl Hall and John Oates' entire work. Featuring four CDs containing 74 tracks (16 of them previously unreleased), the compilation spans four decades of music. The set includes songs from their earliest sides recorded as teenagers on Philadelphia's indie Arctic and Crimson labels (1966-67), through their Atlantic years (1972-75), a decade at RCA (1975-85), and their final major label association with Arista (1988-90), before launching their self-owned U-Watch label in 2002.
