Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

Producer: Tom “T-Bone” Wolk Daryl Hall John Oates

He heard a voice call his name
Pulling hard and telling him to make some change
He let a lot pass him by
Sacrificed his sacred fire to buy some time

To let it go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Is shifting with the sands of time
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away

She had a dream of family
Two by thirty
Living in love in tenderness
She let a lot pass her by
Sacrificed her sacred fire to buy some time

Letting go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Ain't true
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
