In 1977, Daryl Hall teamed up with Robert Fripp to produce his first solo album, called Sacred Songs. RCA was concerned about the uncommercial nature of the album, however, and it was not released until 1980. His second solo album, Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine is notable for the song Dreamtime, which enjoyed moderate chart success.
