Hall and Oates in Internet
| The 1980s brought about change for Hall & Oates.<br />They had determined that the biggest problem was that their music was being filtered through outsider producers and studio musicians who were not familiar with their own tastes and thoughts.<br />They also wished to capture the sound of New York City, which by then had become their home.<br />Instead of recording in Los Angeles like they had done previously, they decided to record at Electric Lady Studios in New York, just five minutes away from their apartments.<br />They also began producing their own records, using their touring band in the studio, and enlisting Hall's girlfriend Sara Allen (and also her sister Janna) as a songwriting collaborator.<br />Voices was written, produced and arranged by Daryl Hall & John Oates in one month according to their authorized biography Dangerous Dances (by Nick Tosches).<br />The result was a clearer style and a better sound, and beginning with the Voices LP in 1980, Hall & Oates had found the missing link in their formula for hits.<br />The first two singles from the album charted fairly well, with How Does It Feel to Be Back charting at #30 and the well-received cover of the Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' just missed the top ten, peaking at #12, but spent fourteen weeks in the top forty.<br />The third single, Kiss on My List, hit number one in April 1981 and remained there for three weeks.<br />The follow-up single, You Make My Dreams, reached number five in July of that year.<br />The other well-known single from Voices, apart from those four hits, is the emotive ballad Everytime You Go Away, with powerful lead vocals by Hall, who wrote it.<br />British singer Paul Young had a Billboard number-one hit with a cover of the song in 1985.<br />Though the Hall & Oates original (recorded in a Memphis soul style) was never released as a single, it remains a favorite on the duo's greatest hits albums, was featured on their Apollo Theater CD in 1985, and is frequently featured in their live set lists to this day.<br /> The Voices album firmed-up the duo's working relationship with Neil Kernon, an engineer on the Voices set who would work as co-producer on the succeeding two albums that would ensure their status as music fixtures.
