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 ...

Daryl Hall - Voices 1980. The eighties brought about change for Hall & Oates. They had determined that the biggest problem was that their music was being filtered through outsider producers and studio musicians who weren't familiar with their own tastes and thoughts. They also wished to capture the sound of New York City, which by then had become their home. So, instead of recording in Los Angeles like they'd done previously, they decided to record at Electric Lady Studios in New York, just five minutes away ...

By the time "You Make My Dreams" was falling down the charts, Hall & Oates had already released their follow-up album Private Eyes. Having worked in the studio while Voices was at its peak in popularity, the two already had most of their material laid down and felt no need to repeat the old formula from that LP. The result was the first Hall & Oates album to reach the top ten on the Billboard album charts. The ...

After this small run of hits, Hall & Oates encountered something of a dry spell. Despite touring constantly and recording albums with efficiency, the duo could not find any pop success for a number of reasons. First, as Oates would later say, they were "in a learning process in the '70s." The two were still fine-tuning their soul-rock style. Also, the musical climate at the time was not very receptive to their sound. By the time they released the rock-oriented Along the Red Ledge (an album that is generally well-received to ...

While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, Hall & Oates are also respected for their ability to cross style boundaries. To this day, "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" is one of the most-sampled songs by R&B and hip-hop groups over the last 25 years, being referenced by acts from Heavy D & the Boyz to Tamia. The song is also heavily sampled in the 2003 hit "Sunrise" by Simply Red. Another song from the Private Eyes album, the arena-rocker "Head Above Water," has been used in TV advertisements ...

By the fall of 1983, Hall & Oates were one of the biggest pop music acts in America. They had five #1 singles to their credit, two consecutive top-10 albums, and were one of the biggest names on MTV. The constant loop of recording, promoting, and touring wore them down, though, and in 1983 they could only put out a greatest-hits package, Rock N Soul Volume 1. The album peaked at #7 (not bad for a greatest hits collection) and ...
