"She's Gone" is a song written and originally performed by the American duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. The soul ballad is included on their 1973 album, Abandoned Luncheonette.
The song was released as a single in 1973. It was a major hit in Hall & Oates' home market of Philadelphia[citation needed] and peaked nationally at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Nearly three years later in 1976, after Hall & Oates had moved to RCA Records and had scored the hit "Sara Smile", Atlantic Records re-released the original single under a different number (Atlantic 3332). This time, "She's Gone" was a hit, peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the R&B chart, the song peaked at No. 93.[4] On the Radio & Records airplay chart, the song debuted at No. 37 on the August 13, 1976 issue; after six weeks it reached a peak of No. 8, staying there for three weeks, with four weeks in the top 10 of the chart and thirteen weeks on the chart in total.
Following a recommendation from their co-producer, Dennis Lambert, who heard the Hall & Oates version from the Abandoned Luncheonette album, the American R&B vocal group Tavares covered the song for their album, Hard Core Poetry in 1974.[25] The brothers' version of the song became a hit, topping the U.S. R&B chart and peaking at No. 50 on the Hot 100. - Wikipedia
