Abandoned Luncheonette, the second album from Daryl Hall & John Oates, came out on Atlantic in November 1973, and it catches the Philadelphia duo long before the '80s gloss, blending folk and acoustic rock with a blue-eyed soul heart. Arif Mardin produced it, and he gives the songs a warm, unhurried glow, Hall's voice gliding over the top with Oates close behind on harmonies.
"She's Gone" is the jewel, a slow-burning soul ballad that did little at first and became one of their first major hits once it was reissued in 1976. The album climbed to number 33 on the Billboard LP chart, the best showing of their Atlantic years, and kept on quietly selling until it went platinum twenty-nine years after release.
