After Tamouz disbanded, Hanoch released his first Hebrew solo album – "Adam Betoch Azmo" (1977, "A Man Inside Himself"). The songs were silent and minoric, including "Adam Betoch Azmo", "Ir Zara" (Foreign Town), "Tiyul LeYafo" (A Trip to Jaffa), and "Rack Lirkod" (Just Dance). Most of these songs talked about Hanoch's life, after a bitter divorce from his wife. In 1978 Hanoch performed in the Neviot Festival. The performances there were very successful, and made Hanoch an esteemed rock singer. In this time Hanoch recorded his song – "Haya Kedai" (It Was Worth It), which was a huge success.
