Hall & Oates - First Hits 1975-1977
Hall & Oates left Atlantic Records after the release of War Babies to join RCA. Their first album for the new label, Daryl Hall & John Oates, was their first legitimate success. It contained the ballad "Sara Smile," a song Daryl wrote for his girlfriend Sara Allen, and featured an album cover in which the two are overly made-up to the point where they (especially the then long-haired Hall) looked like women. Hall would later say in an interview for VH1 Behind the Music that he looked like "the girl I always wanted to go out with" on that album cover.
Due to the cover's hue, the first RCA set has been known by the duo's fans as the Silver Album since its release three decades ago.
"Sara Smile" became their first top-ten hit. reaching number four on the Billboard Top 100 charts in June 1976. "She's Gone," re-released by Atlantic Records after "Sara Smile" went to the top ten, reached number seven in October 1976. Hall & Oates followed those hits with the more pop-oriented Bigger Than Both of Us LP later that year. Though the first single from the album - the Philly soul-oriented ballad "Do What You Want, Be What You Are" - barely made the top 40, the second single was a smash. The song ("Rich Girl"), was Hall & Oates' first number one hit, reaching the pinnacle on March 26, 1977. To this day, "Sara Smile," "She's Gone," and "Rich Girl" are considered some of Hall & Oates' best material.
