1974 Tavares – She’s Gone (US:#50)
“She’s Gone” is a song written and originally performed by pop music duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. It was included on their 1973 album, Abandoned Luncheonette.
The song was released as a single (Atlantic 2993) in 1974. It was a major hit in Hall & Oates‘ home market of Philadelphia and was moderately successful nationally, peaking at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

This song was included on its single version in Hall & Oates’s 1983 greatest hits compilation Rock and Soul Part 1 and the album version is included in numerous other compilations such as The Singles (2008), The Essential (2005), Looking Back: The Best Of (1991) but the song is missing on the albums The Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates (2001) and Playlist: The Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates (2008).
