The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band, formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivalling those of The Beach Boys. Frequent releases during the mid-60s included many cover versions of popular songs, as well as a few group-penned hits and many songs written especially for them by professional songwriters.

Formed 1962 Lancashire England. By 1965 The Hollies were established as one of Britain’s pre-eminent singles bands. As part of the British Invasion, they enjoyed huge chart success in many countries in the mid-Sixties, releasing a string of classic harmony-pop hits including

Bus Stop

I’m Alive, a UK No. 1,

Look Through Any Window, and

Jennifer Eccles.

Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. In 1972, the hit

Long cool woman in a black dress reached #2 in the US. Their last mega hit was

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, hitting #1 in the UK in 1988 (albeit 19 years after its first release).

Graham Nash, one of the original band members, left in 1968 to form the super group Crosby, Stills & Nash and went on to world class status in the 70’s and 80’s.

"King Midas In Reverse" has to be one of the most underrated songs ever recorded. Amazing.
