Absence makes the heart grow fonder

THREE YEARS AGO, DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES DECIDEDTHAT, FOR THE MOMENT, WORKING

Thanks Jonathan for this material !

THE S.I.R. REHEARSAL STUDIOS ARE LOCATED in a seedy, run-down part of Manhattan that doesn't appear on 'I Love New York' postcards. This is a neighborhood on the Lower West Side where the only people successful enough to hail a cab are the local hookers, brazenly plying their trade despite mid-afternoon showers which cast an aura of gloom on the island.

Inside a nondescript building nestled among dingy warehouses and rotting tenements, Daryl Hall and John Oates, rock's most famous blue-eyed soul boys, are whipping a new band into shape for their first tour in three years.

After a much-acclaimed concert at Harlem's famed Apollo Theatre in May '85, it seemed Hall and Oates had gone their separate ways - Hall to record a solo album in England with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, and Oates to co-write and co-produce songs with Canada's Parachute Club and Australia's Icehouse. In fact, there were people betting they would never appear together again, neither on stage, nor on vinyl.
