The article makes it appear that Hall and Oates recorded this song before Tavares. But Butch Tavares has said in interviews that when Daryl Hall presented this song to the group, they were not yet recording artists. He said that when the song was presented, he took the song to RCA and made them commit to meeting with Hall and Oates, then made Darryl Hall commit to meeting with RCA before the band would record the song. Hall and Oates' recording contract came out of that meeting. For further comment, see this link at Songfacts.com
