"You Make My Dreams" is a song by American duo Daryl Hall & John Oates, taken from their ninth studio album, Voices (1980).
[4] The song has sold over 1.8 million copies in the UK as of June 2024, despite having never charted in the country.
[5] John Oates said the song came about "through a happy accident, my guitar player friend of mine and myself were jamming in the dressing room, and I started playing a delta blues and he started playing a Texas swing, and we put them together, and all of a sudden into my head popped "you make my dreams."
"[6] Daryl Hall also commented on the iconic piano riff that opens the song and the distinctive sound that is generated by a Yamaha CP-30 in an interview with the BBC on the 40th anniversary of the song’s release.
Over the years mine got destroyed [and] I cannot duplicate that sound other than with the actual instrument.
