I’d subscribe if you broke into the music less and talked less about other crap than the song. I like you two but, sometimes the breaks make me frustrated.
The Hollies are one of Britain's most successful rock groups. Between 1963 and 1988 they managed 30 Top 40 hit singles 18 of which reached the top 10 including two number one singles.
More accurate to say that they had to sing for real or you just ain't got it. You couldn't cheat on anything aside from adding reverb for the most part. That includes instruments.
Many people here listed many of the Hollies great songs. Glad to see people from your generation digging the music from my generation. The Hollies was and still is one of my favorite bands.
One of the most iconic openings in rock history. There were many great bands in this era. The creative spark set many bands on fire with great music. I know, I grew up in the greatest era of music. I saw many of these great people live.
The Hollies.. named themselves after threat Rock n Roll icon, Buddy Holly.. similar to the Beatles naming themselves in honor of Buddy Holly’s band, the Crickets.. I love your reactions.. your lovely lady reminds me of my daughter. God Bless you both! 😎❤️
Awesome tune! I was born in 1965 and my parents had this on 45 rpm vinyl. Been listening to this song for literally all my life. If you haven't already, check out 'The Air That I Breathe'. You'll love it.
Hola chicos. Muy buena reacción. Soy dé Argentina y a está banda la recuerdo. En mí juventud la bailamos en todos los lugares dónde ibamos. Los felicitó por recordar esa linda época. Saludos desde Argentina.
This came out in 1971 and I was in first grade. I can remember my 14 yo brother playing this 45 on his record player. I clearly remember saying "play black dress again!"
The story of the song: the man is working undercover for the FBI. He is in the bad guys club “a nest of bad men”, drinking with them “whiskey bottles piling high”, bootlegging boozer on the west side of town “doing wrong”. He was just about to call in the District Attorney (the “D A Man”) to bust them when he heard a woman singing. He was struck by one particular feature that coursed his arousal, her 45 inch chest! The rest of the song is him saving her from being arrested! A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall Just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I went to high school with the kids of Roger Cook, one of the guys who wrote this song. His son was a grade ahead of me and his daughter was two years behind me. Cook is from England, and his son retained his British accent, but his daughter has an American accent.
Singer Allan Clarke adds a distinctive sound to all those great Hollies hits! He lent his vocals to the Alan Parsons hit "Breakdown" in 1976 (please review it)!
THIS KILLER SONG Was RELEASED In Oct 1971 ,,, THE 70s had a lot of the best dance beat music EVER,, Thank you 2 for your reactions ,, THE 70s Baby ,,,, Stick with the 70s ,, YOU WONT GO WRONG
You’re in for an absolute ride with The Hollies. Easily one of the greatest English bands of them all, as they came around the same time as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, etc. You definitely have to listen next to, just to name but a few of their hits: -“He Ain’t Heavy (He’s My Brother)” -“Bus Stop” -“The Air That I Breathe” -“Sorry Suzanne”
I was wondering when someone would get around to The Hollies. They were one of my favorite bands in the late sixties and into the seventies. I'm sure you'll do some of their monster hits like "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother," and "The Air that I Breathe," but I'd like to see you react to their early stuff too, like "Carrie Anne," "Bus Stop," "Just One Look," "On a Carousel" or "Stop, Stop, Stop."
Sleeping? No, the media and radio stopped playing music because it is "old", as if that's bad. It's all about moving product for record companies. Never be afraid to listen to something you've never heard. Songs were popular in the past for a good reason.
Much love from North Carolina u 2. U guys get me hyped again about AcDc seeing u guys get excited. That's what its all about you cant watch Angus and not smile lol. AC-DC Ride on if you wanna hear a slow mellow AC-DC song with Bon Scott singing. It's on the dirty deeds CD. Keep it up guys like seeing your reactions when I get off from work
It was nothing more than a shameless rip off of CCR's Green River. Just like The Pushbike Song was a rip off of Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime. It was profitable for the Hollies though.
One of the best beats in any pop song, Bus Stop , Look Thru Any Window maybe even Magic Woman Touch which came much later Hollies had so many good songs id be here ages listed them all
GUYS, WE TRYING TO HIT 3000 SUBSCRIBERS ON OUR MAIN CHANNEL!! CAN YOU HELP US? KAE VS LIVY @UCiK66EbGpVVsXAvig8-W6Pg
I’d subscribe if you broke into the music less and talked less about other crap than the song. I like you two but, sometimes the breaks make me frustrated.
The Hollies' best song is Gasoline Alley Bred.
The Air That I Breath, He Ain't Heavy
2 real classics..
Bus stop
The Hollies are one of Britain's most successful rock groups. Between 1963 and 1988 they managed 30 Top 40 hit singles 18 of which reached the top 10 including two number one singles.
I'm fitty chree, And I'm loving it.
Bus Stop is great old school rock and roll, and He aint Heavy is a beautiful song about loving your fellow humans. Both awesome songs by The Hollies.
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is a must.
He Ain't Heavy
As a 63 yr old dude....i love it when the young folks hear and appreciate the music I grew up listening to. And ur girl has good taste.
The Hollies was named in honor of the great one Buddy holly.
I didn't know that! Thanks.
Bus Stop was always one of my favorites. You can tell it was about ten years before this one but it still sounds great!
In a time when people could sing for real, without computers and autotune ;)
More accurate to say that they had to sing for real or you just ain't got it. You couldn't cheat on anything aside from adding reverb for the most part. That includes instruments.
Back in the day it was a time when people who couldn't sing didn't !
@@10lassie Well, if you couldn't sing, you were either a punk singer or Bob Dylan
I'm old school anything with autotune gets turned off immediately !
We miss you!!!! Get back soon!!!
They have a great love song for you guys, " The Air That I Breathe." Get cozy and listen to it.
You two may be my favorite couple in RUclips.
😊❤
More by The Hollies, “Long Dark Road”, “The Air That I Breathe”, “Bus Stop”, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, and “I Can’t Let Go.”
This is the tune that you can rock along to with your grandparents

Another classic music from my generation

I love it when the bass kicks in.
I was rocking out to the hollies since I was 3 damm fine band
That is Rock 'n Roll - as pure and clear as it gets.
Hollies songs like I'm Alive, Just One Look etc from the 60s etc, SO good.
This came out in 1971 and I was in first grade. I can remember my 14 yo brother playing this 45 on his record player. I clearly remember saying "play black dress again!"
one of my favorite songs. sounds good, tells a little story, what more can you ask from a song?
Their early stuff is great! Try "Bus Stop", "Carrie Ann", and "Look Through Any Window".

My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Love your guys appreciation for real nice sounding classic kick arse rock!!
Sweet!

Ohhh my God yore beautiful sis 😍😍😍😍🇲🇽greetings from Sonora México
One of the greatest and instantly recognisable intros in Rock.
ok guys these thumbnails are RIDICULOUS 🤣 RELAXXX
BY FAR THE BEST REACTION!!!! Yesssss!
"He ain't heavy he's my Brother". Hollies
I went to high school with the kids of Roger Cook, one of the guys who wrote this song. His son was a grade ahead of me and his daughter was two years behind me. Cook is from England, and his son retained his British accent, but his daughter has an American accent.

Totally agree..Keep going back..the the '70's!
I have the 7" vinyl sleeve of Long cool woman hand signed by two original members of, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott.
'A timeless classic.'
C.
For years I thought this was a Creedence Clearwater Revival song. This is the closest I ever heard anyone come close to sounding like the great CCR
Used to think the same, and when I found out it wasn't I assumed for a while that it was Fogerty without CCR. The voices are that similar.
You definitely got it all!!
Hahahahaha...... this is my time Rock N Roll!
You all are crazy I love your reaction lol
LOVE this song.
You’re in for an absolute ride with The Hollies. Easily one of the greatest English bands of them all, as they came around the same time as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, etc. You definitely have to listen next to, just to name but a few of their hits:
-“He Ain’t Heavy (He’s My Brother)”
-“Bus Stop”
-“The Air That I Breathe”
-“Sorry Suzanne”
This is what you call music, you are right on.
Summer of my Sophomore year. They dominated the early 70s
1971. This is the FIRST tune you played on the juke box
I still listen to this on a 45.
Yeah you got it all thats for sure
The Hollies' "Look Through Any Window" & "Carrie Anne".
Fave less known band n 🎵 from the 60s....
The Air That I Breathe.... it's totally different
I was wondering when someone would get around to The Hollies. They were one of my favorite bands in the late sixties and into the seventies. I'm sure you'll do some of their monster hits like "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother," and "The Air that I Breathe," but I'd like to see you react to their early stuff too, like "Carrie Anne," "Bus Stop," "Just One Look," "On a Carousel" or "Stop, Stop, Stop."
Great reaction! Loved watching you both dancing to it. 🥰
Gotta get up & dance!!!!!!
Bus stop , he ain't heavy and the air that I breathe are great but they have a few more
The MOST under-rated song ever.
I'm glad new generations are discovering great music from the past. (BTW fix the clock on the microwave- LOL)
Sleeping? No, the media and radio stopped playing music because it is "old", as if that's bad. It's all about moving product for record companies. Never be afraid to listen to something you've never heard. Songs were popular in the past for a good reason.
Too Young To Be Married, I'm Alive, It's only Make Believe, The Lonely Hobo Lullaby, Just One look, the Mighty Quinn. All Hollies hits.
You 2 are too cute! Been listening to this for decades! lol
Vocalist Graham Nash... became a vocalist in Crosby, Stills, and Nash. There's another "Rabbit Hole" for you guys to follow. (You'll thank me later)
You guys make me smile, love watching you learn about all the great music that is out there, this is a great song and band
Three dog night...old fashioned love song
Awesome never saw the vid before
Much love from North Carolina u 2. U guys get me hyped again about AcDc seeing u guys get excited. That's what its all about you cant watch Angus and not smile lol. AC-DC Ride on if you wanna hear a slow mellow AC-DC song with Bon Scott singing. It's on the dirty deeds CD. Keep it up guys like seeing your reactions when I get off from work
BTW your microwave is flashing
_I got the biggest kick, watching you both rockin to the Hollies!_
such an underrated song
Not any more, I've been playing the hell out of this to Australia...as well as the USA
It was nothing more than a shameless rip off of CCR's Green River. Just like The Pushbike Song was a rip off of Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime. It was profitable for the Hollies though.
If you like this kind of music try also the band T.Rex with the song get it on
And follow that up with "20th Century Boy"
I second that!
The Hollies:Sorry Suzanne
Jane is another badass tune to check out
Southern tone,lol.
They are pure Manchester,England.
Check out I Cant Let Go by them,great upbeat dancer.
another GREAT hit by them "all i need..is the air that i breathe"
They started in1966 He great singer and good song
OMG, set the time on that microwave! How can you stand that blinking? 😱😉
You guys are so adorable. This is one of my favorite songs. Boston is the only other group who was just a tad bit more insane! 😝♥️
this was one of my most favorite songs when I was a little boy!
Bus Stop is a really good one from them!
"Look Through Any Window" is another great song by the Hollies.
Its awesome to see you youngsters listenin to old skool rock like this!!!
Try creedence clearwater revival...very similar!!
Old school kick arse.
One of the best beats in any pop song, Bus Stop , Look Thru Any Window maybe even Magic Woman Touch which came much later Hollies had so many good songs id be here ages listed them all
This is typical late 60’s, early 70’s British music. Check out T Rex, Get it on & many more. Also check out Slade.
