Sacred Songs is the first solo album by American singer/songwriter Daryl Hall. It was produced by guitarist Robert Fripp, who also played on the album. Its chart debut was March 29, 1980.
The album was recorded in 1977, but RCA Records did not release it for three years. According to Nick Tosches, who wrote Dangerous Dances, the authorized biography of Hall & Oates, "RCA refused to release Sacred Songs on the grounds that it wasn't commercial" (p 85). When finally issued, the album sold well, but ultimately did not yield a hit single.
