"Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" is a great Hollies song.
I didn't see it in the search either, but they said they did it. Hard to remember when they do 90 songs a month!
@@surlechapeau stuff gets taken down by you tube unfortunately
@@stormy8207 true, at song owners request
"Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" is the BEST Hollies song.
It’s one of the best songs ever.
Thanks for listening to this song, which arguably has one of the most challenging set of lyrics to understand. You asked about the genre. It’s considered Swamp rock, a genre of rock music that originated in the mid-1960s as a fusion of rockabilly and soul music with swamp blues, country music and funk. Creedence Clearwater Revival is also swamp rock. The Hollies are a British band that was part of the British Invasion. My favorite song of theirs is The Air That I Breathe, but I also love their remake of the Supremes' Stop in the Name of Love from 1983.
J & Amber, you'll love their "Carrie Anne" and "On A Carousel !!
"What's your name now can anybody play?"
Two excellent choices definitely
@@edallen3662 thank you
'Stop, Stop, Stop' is my favorite.
@@oreally8605It's "What's your game now can anybody play?"
My Era of music the greatest music ever made.
"Stop all the Dancing"-my absolute fave!
This song is about a couple who meet one rainy day at a bus stop. Love blooms when they share an umbrella. In a Manchester newspaper, Graham Gouldman said he wrote it whilst riding on the No. 95 bus, which ran from East Didsbury - the route went through Manchester city centre, to Sedgeley Park, Cheetham Hill, Prestwich, and on to Whitefield near Bury. Gouldman was living with his family on this route in Broughton Park Salford at the time.
Graham Gouldman's father was a talented and creative writer who often helped his son with song ideas. Graham had the idea for bus stop setting, and his dad came up with the first line: "Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say, 'please share my umbrella.'" From that starting point, he was able to finish the song. In a Song facts interview with Gouldman, he explained: "He gave me those words and I immediately, as I was reading them, heard the melody in my head, and it just kind of wrote itself. And then the middle part of the song I wrote - I got the melody and the words all in one chunk."
Grahams Dad suggested the idea of No Milk Today too. ( recorded by Hermans Hermits )
Best Manchester band?
I’m well aware there’s plenty of competition for THAT title,but for me,it’s these boys all day long.
Great story! Thanks ❤️
Yes this is 60s Hollies. Other great 60s Hollies are "Look through any window" "Carrie Ann" " On a Carousel" "Stop Stop Stop". Another Great reaction today 😀 Hippies were in the latter part of the 60s, the beginning was still a sweet and Innocent spillover from the 50s(pre Beatles or as Amber would say "Soda pop shop" (Like Grease era) 😀 ill recommend some Brenda Lee "Im sorry"(1960) and Connie Francis" "Who's sorry now(1959) also can we get some Jan and Dean? Please "The Little old lady from Pasadena"(1964) is a good one with Surfer type vibes like the Beach boys 😀❤
My favorite Connie Francis hit was Everybody's somebody's fool......
@@wlg2367 I love that one as well. I thought ide suggest one from earlier in her career since all this stuff(50s early 60s is still kinda new to them 😀
Yes, would love to see some Jan and Dean.
Wow, Jan And Dean - such an underrated act!
You also had "Yes I Will" and "Very Last Day" which are other good songs by The Hollies.
When Graham Nash left the band recruited Terry Sylvester from The Swinging Blue Jeans, Terry contributed songs and appeared on live performances of Sorry Suzanne (which I think Nash had recorded on the record release) and kept the Hollies going into the 1970s.
Yes they were from England. Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills and Nash was a member of the Hollies before he split and joined David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form that super group.
Those pristine harmonies defined The Hollies for me.
@@russellmorgan5611
Absolutely! CSN’s weren’t too shabby either. I loved hearing Nash and Crosby harmonize as well!
The "British Invasion" category is very much from a US perspective and included many acts, such as ballad singers, which the British would not have thought of as being similar at all.
At the time, the British categorised The Hollies as a Beat Group, like The Beatles, The Searchers etc. By about 1966/7 in the UK, beat as a genre was fading and some groups managed the transition to psychedelia or other genres better than others.
The Hollies were rare in being able to survive as a major chart act well into the 1970s whereas, say, The Searchers or The Tremeloes or The Dave Clark Five didn't.
My father, Ron Richards, produced this record along with all their other hits. He discovered them when they were playing at the "The Cavern" in Liverpool. He had been sent north by George Martin, his boss at the time & latterly business partner, to look for talent. He was impressed by their vocal sound. They were then brought to Abbey Road to record & the rest as they say is history. I remember going to many times to Hollies sessions as a youngster including the one in which "Air That I Breathe" was recorded. Dad would certainly be amazed & delighted that this music is still so appreciated by so many around the world.
Awesome... don't overlook the Rascals, aka Young Rascals... Good Lovin' would be a good start...
YESSS! So many hits! Groovin, Its a Beautiful Morning, People Got to be Free.
A Girl Like You & How Can I Be Sure by the Rascals from 67 and 68. One of the best American groups of that era.
You Better Run, I've been lonely too long, Girl like you, etc.
Great song written by Graham Gouldman, who went on to form 10cc. Please check out their amazing song I'm Not In Love, the original version. Amber would LOVE the Hollies Marakesh Express.
"Stop, stop, stop" is a great story song by the Hollies.
"Bus Stop" came out when I was in HS, always loved this song, might be in my top 10 all time favorites
This is one of several songs the Hollies bought from Graham Gouldman, who later formed 10cc.
My two favorite lyrical moments of this song are the run of four two-syllable verses : " Bus stop/bus goes/she stays/ love grows", and the grammatically correct double "that" in "Nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow."
It also scans better. 😊
"nice to think that that umbrella led me to a vow" gave me chills when I heard it the first time. Which was like five minutes ago
This is their first hit in the U.S., with Graham Nash as lead singer, so the sound is different from the other Hollies songs you've heard, which came out years later. This is from 1966, definitely from the British Invasion, triggered by the Beatles.
Another few British Invasion 60's bands worth checking out are the Dave Clark Five - Because, Bits And Pieces and Glad All Over, Them - Gloria, Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders - Game Of Love & A Groovy Kind Of Love. 😊😊😊
One of the most romantic songs ever recorded. Truly only for hopeless romantics, such as myself....
Written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc who also wrote ‘Look Through Any Window’ for them. 10cc are also worth looking at.
The Hollies were already old music when I was a kid. Now I'm old. Classics like this will outlast all of us.
Fun connections: The Hollies named their band after Buddy Holly, whose band The Crickets had inspired the name “Beatles.” Later, another British band named themselves The Iveys in tribute to the Hollies (via the Christmas carol “The Holly and the Ivy”). The Iveys eventually signed with the Beatles’ Apple Records and were renamed Badfinger.
One of their members was Graham Nash, who quit the Hollies to be part of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Great review!
Have you seen the documentary series LAUREL CANYON 👍👍
This song is one of my favourites from the hollies, I remember this from when I was a kid, hard to believe I’m almost 60.
The Hollies - I’M ALIVE & JUST ONE LOOK are great songs.
One of the favorite songs of my youth. The sweetness of young love.
The song was written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc. It was autobiographical. Graham married the lady at the bus stop. He also wrote 'Look through any window' for the Hollies.
anything with Graham Nash's voice is GOLD
I love how Amber always finds the groove and sinks into it. Keep up the good work folks.
You guys should react to more of The Hollies…
"Stop Stop Stop", "On a Carousel", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress", "I'm Alive", "Look Through Any Window"
🎸🤘
LOVE "STOP STOP STOP" by the Hollies, and "'I'M ALIVE" .
I Can’t Let Go by them.
As a 10 year old when it dropped,I used to leap around every time it came on,but I love ALL The Hollies stuff anyway.
Prolific hit machine with Allan Clarke’s superb vocals.
@@patticrichton1135 Graham Nash has said in various interviews that this song was inspired by the time American record executive and impresario Morris Levy took him and the rest of the band to a strip club. They had not been to one before since they did not have any in their hometown of Manchester.
@@michaelglick1287 Which song? This song was written by Graham Gouldman and had nothing to do with strip clubs.
"Someday my name and hers are going to be the same." That's a sweet way to say "married".
This is early Hollies, from when Graham Nash was still.a member. Other early Hollies hits include "Carrie Ann", "Carosel", "Pay it Back With Interest", 'I'm Sorry, Suzanne". After Graham Nash left Allan Clarke replaced him as lead singer, and the groups' sound became very different, with hits like "He Ain't Heavy", "Long Cool Woman", and "The Air That I Breathe".
Love the Hollies! The 60's and 70's had an endless choice of great tunes.
Drummer Tony Hicks said Graham Nash's high vocals gave The Hollies their distinctive sound.
Tony Hicks was lead guitar. Their harmonies were fantastic 👍
Another great song by The Hollies is Stop! Stop! Stop!, And the exotic guitar sound
An early Hollies. At this stage Graham Nash was with the group,need to check out On a Carousel. Also check out his songs with Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Marakish Express and Our House he wrote for Joni Mitchell
Bus Stop was written by 10cc's Graham Gouldman. GG also wrote No Milk Today for Herman's Hermits. Great songwriter
The Hollies had so many different sounding songs. As a young child hearing them, I didn’t realize it, because Graham Nash was the early lead singer, then he was replaced by someone else. I used to think the radio DJ’s sang these songs (lol). As an adult, I came to appreciate them. But, it also took me a while to appreciate that he Beatles, who, as a child, mixed in with The Monkees. I should be pleased that I was born at a time where all this great music could be blurred together.
My favorite Hollies song is “Dear Eloise” which features Graham Nash on lead vocal.
This song also brings to mind The Cowsills song “The Rain the Park and Other Things”. It was the same period of time so the same vibe. But the Cowsills were an American group made up of a family that got their start about the same time as the Jackson 5. They were also the inspiration behind The Partridge Family.
Love The Cowsills. Great suggestion 😀
Just saw the Cowsills tonight in Waukegan Illinois at the Happy Together tour......so much fun!
Just saw the Cowsills this past Wednesday, there was 3 members, they sounded great. Ages now 63, 70, 73
Speaking of the Cowsills they would go crazy for "Hair."
@@Tesses0927 saw the show in Syracuse. What did you think of the whole show?
In the sixties, there were more songs about ordinary people and ordinary life. Some other great examples: "Friday on My Mind" (The Easybeats, an Australian band with a family connection with AC/DC) and "Matthew and Son" (Cat Stevens). Plus it was more about love and not just about hooking up. Another band who had a sound similar to the Hollies in the early 70's was Badfinger with "Day after Day". In the early seventies there was also Lobo with "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" and "Don't Expect me to be your Friend" and another Australian group Zoot with "Monty and Me" and a killer version of "Eleanor Rigby" ( Beeb Birtles from Zoot ended up in the Little River Band, and everyone knows what Rick Springfield went on to after Zoot.)
I rode a city bus to school for six years starting about the time this song came out. This was one of my favorites as it gave me hope that I could find my true love at the bus stop. It didn’t happen that way but I still remember how fun it was to hear the song and hope. I did eventually find her in college and we have been married for 49 years.
Graham Gouldman wrote this when he was 19. He also wrote another Hollies hit 'Look through any window as well as other hits like 'No milk today' for Herman's Hermits. 'For your love' for the Yardbirds as well as several other songs for those bands. He also wrote 'Pamela Pamela' for Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders of which Eric Stewart was a member and he and Graham Gouldman went on to form 10cc.
Absolutely one of my favorite songs of the 60s. Glad you discovered a song I have loved for years.
Carrie-Anne...On A Carousel...Look Through Any Window...I Can't Let Go....They were sooooo good!
This song was written by Graham Gouldman, who also wrote "For Your Love" (Yardbirds) and "No Milk Today" (Herman's Hermits). Check these out!
Graham Gouldman who later was a member of 10CC of course
He also wrote "Heart Full of Soul" (Yardbirds) and "Look Through Any Window" (Hollies).
Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay" & "Simple Twist Of Fate"...Nuff Said.
The duo harmonies of the Every Brothers were a massive influence on the Beatles, the Hollies and Simon and Garfunkle. (The Hollies got their name from Buddy Holly and yes, they were part of the British Invasion.)
Graham Nash and lead singer Allan Clarke were grade school friends that formed the Hollies. Nash sings the high harmony here, and he also sang high harmonies for the super group he left to join, Crosby, Stills, Nash (and sometimes Young (Neil Young)). All the prior Hollies tunes you guys had listened to were after Nash left. Early Hollies are also great. I recommend Just One Look (a cover of a Doris Troy song), or Stop, Stop, Stop. Guitarist Tony Hicks sang the middle harmonies, and is still active with the group.
The Hollies - "Carrie Anne" is an absolute must
I'm sure I heard years ago that when Graham Nash left the Hollies, one reason was that the group didn't want to record Marrakesh Express. So he took it across the Atlantic and Crosby, Stills & Nash had a big hit with it.
A number of hits from the mid-late 60s had a Greek music style incorporated. The most overt was probably "Bend It" - try it!
Anyone who hears the opening riff of 'Long Cool Woman' for the second time, knows what it is immediately.
This song is older than the others you’ve reacted to. I have to say, this has always been my favorite Hollies song. Also like Carrie Ann.
This New Orleans Native Son Delivers This Funky Blues MUST HEAR Classic,, Dr. John "Right Place Wrong Time"...R.I.P.🙏❤
A classic.
@@daverudbarg 100% Agreed.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only my favorite Hollies song, but also easily in my top 100 songs of all time. Allan Clarke and Graham Nash's harmonies are soooooooo spot on!!!! xoxoxo
Should be noted this song was written by future 10cc member Graham Gouldman
The Hollies had sooooo many big hits. They were such a fabulous British band - my band covered some of their tunes back in the mid-late '60s.
This is one of their early songs...really great...Look Through Any Window has this sound, but it is very energetic...you'll have to stop and catch your breath.
I love this song. I have always thought it was very romantic. Their harmonies are awesome. I always love hearing Graham Nash sing. He went from The Hollies to Crosby Stills and Nash.
Love the Hollies! Graham Nash who was in the Hollies almost married Joni Mitchell. You should try Carrie Anne!
Yes Carrie Anne!
12 string guitar gives this fuller bright sound! Hollies were awesome🎶👍
This is my favorite song by them. Bus Stop
The Hollies were around in England as early as The Beatles, and they had a number of great hits alongside the Beatles' hits. Bus Stop was the song (1965) that got them known in America, even though they had released several other songs here earlier. They are still together with only two of the original members - Tony Hicks on lead guitar and Bobby Elliot on drums. Since they've been together for so long, they have a far greater number of hits in England than the Beatles ever amassed. Some of my favorite songs of theirs are from the album Evolution. Look it up. You won't be disappointed.
One of the best song from 1966. So timeless and good!!! Good music will never die! 💯🙂
Another great song from 1966 is The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee. Top 40 Billboard 1966.💯🙂
The Hollies are awesome!!! Their guitar player, Tony Hicks is an excellent guitarist and did some amazing guitar work on their songs. And there drummer, Bobby Elliott was a excellent as well. And Graham Nash and Allan Clark’s harmonies are spectacular. Next you should do Carrie Ann. There is an excellent steel drum solo in it that was actually done by a street musician they brought into the recording studio.
Thanks, I was really noticing the drums this time!
Enjoyed your reaction as always! This song was written by Graham Gouldman, when he was 19 years old, before he started the band 10cc. He had already written the song "For Your Love" for the Yardbirds.
Yes, the tambourine definitely says '60s!!
The air that i breath was the best of their songs!
This is my favorite Hollies song. I did suggest it, along with a few thousand others. So glad you chose to react to this amazing yet sweet love song.
Have I The Right? - The Honeycombs. 1964. Girl drummer. Big hit. A favourite song.
Both The Hollies & The Beatles were greatly influenced by Buddy Holly (like a lot of the bands who were part of the British Invasion). The Hollies named their band in his honor. I agree with the others commenting - "Long Cool Woman" needs to be your next Hollies' song.
The Beatles was a play on Buddy's band, The Crickets, with a musical twist on beetles.
They’ve reacted to “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress”.
@@irnhed13 RIGHT YOU ARE !!
They need to check out Buddy Holly!
Love the Hollies.....really apart of that "British Invasion," along with The Beatles. That 60's sound of harmonies was started by this group and The Beatles and The Turtles!!!
First time here it's great how respectful you are to the older sounds I'm going to have to watch more,thanks guys
Yes the Hollies have some of the best 60s British Invasion songs or just songs in general..I say just concentrate on their 60s stuff especially the early 60s..you will love it
That sixties sound was new to everybody...being 13 in 1963, the British invasion took over my life like so many others...suddenly guys were in bands...it was great to be young in that time!!!
If you think the Hollies sound like the Beatles you really need to check out The Dave Clark 5 band.
If they do,they’ll be Glad All Over
Catch ‘em If You Can.
None other than Bruce Springsteen name checks TDCF as a major influence and has everything they recorded.
Been my favorite band for 50 years. Harmonies
Early Hollies, like the early Beatles, were light-hearted love songs. The Hollies and the Beatles both matured into other forms of music, but I still enjoy those early songs. I almost exhausted my meager paycheck, feeding pesetas into the juke box of the California Bar, listening to the Hollies' "Carrie Anne" when I first got to Spain in 1967. Please react to their "Carrie Anne."
The Hollies were part of the British Invasion. I remember listening to this in my Camaro on the radio on the way to high school. This upbeat song just made you feel happy listening to it. For a while the Hollies had one hit after another. My suggestion is to go back and listen to the studio version of their song “ He Ain’t Heavy; He’s My Brother”. The live version doesn’t have a lot of the music magic that the studio version has.
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
@@terryroper5860 You don't know my brother... He ain't Heaven!
@@terryroper5860 I corrected it. I don’t know how it happened, It is one of my favorite songs. Thanx
Must have been nice to have a brand new car in high school! Especially a Camaro. Coincidentally, this song hit the Hot100 at #98 in July of 1966 and reached it's peak position at #5 on September 11, 1966, 6 days before the first Camaro was sold on September 17 (while the song was still at #5). That's pretty cool. It didn't fall off the charts until October 29. the same day their next record to chart in the U.S., "Stop, Stop Stop" entered the chart at #76!
@@ptournas My Dad owned a roofing company in Long Beach, California and I worked for him on the week-ends in sales. I saved enough to be buy the Camaro with a partial loan from my parents My parents also helped me with the insurance.
On a Carousel has amazing banjo performance by Tony.
Need to hear some of the early Moody Blues. ‘Question’, Tuesday Afternoon’, ‘Gypsy’.
Saw The Hollies last week in York Barbican, a great night hearing all the hits from the 60/70's.Two original members Bobby Elliott on drums and Tony Hicks lead guitar, very enjoyable evening..I have the songs i recorded from that performance on my TH-cam channel 'The Baby' and 'Long Cool Woman'.
My favorite Hollies song is the often overlooked "I'll pay you back with interest"
My wife loves this song. She grew up in the Philippines where they have a rainy, monsoon season for five months a year. Lots of romances started under umbrellas at bus stops.
“I Can’t Let Go” by The Hollies is a classic! 👍👍
The Beatles and the Hollies both started out around 1962, both played the 'Cavern club' in Liverpool, although the Hollies were from Manchester. The Hollies had a unique 'pure' sound and were grossly underrated. Must listen to 'don't let me down' and 'lonely hobo lullaby.'
Speaking of tambourine, psychedelic era song "Green Tambourine" by the Lemon Pipers should be on your to do list.
I got to see them live, twice. Amazing shows. Listen to the drummer in this, he always added an amazing beat to their songs.
Love the hollies, especially early hollies!
You'd also like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. They were formed at the end of the sixties from members of the Hollies, the Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield, a union rumored to have been facilitated by Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas. Their first hit was 1969's "Marrakesh Express," but their biggest hits were 1977's "Just a Song Before I Go" and a 1970 cover of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock," which I think y'all would really like.
I was listening to "Carry On" by Crosby Stills Nash & Young earlier today and thought you guys might it.
Awesome guitar work, smooth three part harmony, some trippy hippie stuff... You might enjoy it.
The Hollies recorded at Abbie Roads studios like the Beatles. The Hollies were twice the musicians compared to the Beatles. Graham Nash left the Hollies in 1968 and joined Crosby and Stills to for CSN.
My favorite early Hollies song. Great harmonies.
The Hollies' "CARRIE ANNE" has a very groovy steel drum Caribbean sound
Written by Graham Gouldman when he was a freelance song writer, he would later be a member of 10-CC which is another band you should defiantly check out.
More songs from the 60s to check out . . . “No Reply” - the Beatles, “(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone” - the Monkees, “Heart Full of Soul” - the Yardbirds, “(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame” - Elvis, “Ruby Baby” - Dion, “Catch Us If You Can” - the Dave Clarke Five, “I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight” - Boyce & Hart, “The Last Time" - the Rolling Stones, “Sorry” - the Easybeats, “Just Like Me” - Paul Revere & the Raiders, "Needles and Pins” - the Searchers, "Shakin' All Over" - the Guess Who, "New York Mining Disaster 1941" - the Bee Gees
The Hollies have so many great songs, and there is a definite dividing line that happens right about 1968 or '69 when Graham Nash left the band to join Crosby, Stills and Nash. After he left the Hollies, they had some great hits like "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)," "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)," and "The Air That I Breathe." But I really think their best work came when Nash was still in the band. Here's a quick chronology of their biggest '60s hits: "Just One Look" (1964), "Look Through Any Window" (1965), "Bus Stop" and "Stop Stop Stop" (1966), "On A Carousel," "Pay You Back With Interest," "Carrie Anne" (1967), "Jennifer Eccles" (1968). Then came the departure of Nash and their sound morphed slightly. Honestly, if I had to pick my favorite Hollies songs from the '60s, they'd probably be "Look Through Any Window" and "Pay You Back With Interest." But you checked "Bus Stop" off the list, and I've always considered that one to be a must-listen if you wanted to get a sense for what the Hollies were all about. Kudos to you for doing this one. I've been suggesting it for a while now.
Another '60s band that I have yet to hear ANY reaction channel do a reaction video to is the Grass Roots. The Grass Roots were one of the top AMERICAN bands during an era that was dominated by British acts. Their biggest hits include "Where Were You When I Needed You" (1966), "Let's Live for Today" (1967), "Bella Linda" and "Midnight Confessions" (1968), "I'd Wait A Million Years" and "Heaven Knows" (1969), "Temptation Eyes" (1970), "Sooner Or Later" (1971). Their biggest being "Let's Live for Today" and "Midnight Confessions," although my favorite was always "Where Were You When I Needed You." A great band that often gets overlooked.
Next Hollies song, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress
Love this song. Used to sing it all the time. Haven't heard it in years but still knew all the words.
