Back Together Again

Hall & Oates Abandon Philly Soul ID, Adopt Heavy Metal Stance

By Wesley Strick, Circus Magazine #166, Oct. 13, 1977

What? Have you and Oates aban­doned the genre that brought fame and airplay?

"It's a definite step away from what we've been doing the last two years." Hall brushes the blowndry locks from his face. "I still have the gospel feel­ing. It's just that my racial memory is howling around the campfire in Scotland, not Kenya. Soul is soul, black or white. But I don't feel any affinity for the Brothers Johnson, or Earth, Wind and Fire."

Yeah, but Daryl, aren't you afraid that—

"No. Most people stick with the formula. John and I have always been into taking chances. That's the fun of it."
