February 27, 2014 Nashville hosted the 2014 Country Radio Seminar last week and BMI continued its support of the seminar that connects the country music industry with country radio. On Friday, Feb. 21, BMI teamed up with Warner Music Nashville and presented its BMI Legends Session with iconic songwriter John Oates of Hall & Oates. A prolific singer-songwriter, Oates has sold more than 80 million units and will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. During the session, Oates talked about writing some of Hall & Oates' biggest hits, including “Sara Smile” and “Out of Touch,” as well as his upcoming project, Good Road to Follow – a three-CD set to be released March 18.
