His hit singles include "I Walk Alone", "New Orleans Dreams" and "Scene in San Francisco", which all landed in the Billboard Top 40 Charts in the Adult Contemporary radio format.

He was discovered while still in high school by author and talent agent Murray Silver who penned the book Great Balls of Fire – The Jerry Lee Lewis Story and produced the Eddie album.

Hale's consciousness raising lyrics and the fact that he sang in no less than five languages on the band's debut album Rise and Shine – sometimes within the same song – also added to the group's unique appeal.

The album debuted in the #12 slot on the CMJ Top 20 Most Added Chart in its first week and went on to yield three moderate hit songs, the opening track "ManChildWoman"—which was used in the Showtime series Shameless, "Monday" and "Babybop".

Songs by Ed Hale and Transcendence meanwhile are often heard on a variety of television shows on major and cable networks including VH1 and MTV and in many films.

[11] In July 2010 Hale released his first solo album in almost ten years Ballad On Third Avenue receiving both critical acclaim and the greatest commercial success of his musical career thus far.

Hale toured both the East and West Coast of the United States in 2009 and 2010 performing at several International Pop Overthrow Festivals in various cities from Boston to Los Angeles to Vancouver in Canada.

In 2003 Hale set up an alternative media headquarters in Miami to house activists and demonstrators to protest and oppose the Free Trade of the Americas FTAA meetings that were being held in the city.

In 2008 Hale embarked on a controversial Peace Delegation trip to the country of Iran with The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) where he and 11 other Americans, including Rolling Stone contributing editor Robert Dreyfuss and the author Larry Beinhart met with leading government officials including former President Mohammad Khatami and leading religious clerics to discuss ways to improve US/Iranian relations and increase peace between the two countries.

[13] A few months later, Hale appeared at the 2008 United Nations General Assembly Meeting in New York City to attend a private conference with Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other leading figures of the US peace movement.

[14] In the summer of 2013, Hale participated in a similar two-week fact-finding and peace delegation trip to Israel and Palestine with the Interfaith Peace-Builders organization.

[18] Interested in life extension and anti-aging sciences, Hale developed a nutritional formula called UltraMax-HGH, eventually becoming UltraMax-Gold, and a full line of similar products which were the basis of the Ageless Foundation company.

He also hosted The Now Age Radio Show (WWNN) for two years which featured guests in the field of health and longevity sciences such as Dr. Ray Sahelian and Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw.
