Hallway Symphony is the second studio album by the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, released in 1972. It was their final album with Tommy Reynolds and the group's final effort for the Dunhill label. A single released from the album, "One Good Woman," failed to break the Top 40. Later that year, Tommy Reynolds quit the group. Different session musicians took his place for their touring before Alan Dennison replaced him permanently a year later (however, the band reluctantly kept their original name of "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds" until 1976 when the band officially changed their name to "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Dennison"). In 1973, the band was dropped from Dunhill due to lack of chart success, but they continued touring and performing live in Las Vegas and various colleges, thanks to the continuing radio play of their huge hit "Don't Pull Your Love."
