I can't tell you how long ago he died because it always feels like yesterday, but ever since then, whenever we have a get-together, and no matter the station we're listening to, this song will come on at some point ~ and everyone knows that it's Michael, joining the party.

    Hollies began in Manchester in the early 60's and like a lot of bands from that era, they initially favoured pop more than what we think of as classic rock. As the band members changed their sound became broader and more interesting. One of their founding members was Graham Nash, who later helped start Crosby, Stills and Nash (and later Neil Young).

    Hi Molly Boy, The Hollies were originally a mega pop band in the sixties, with a string of hits not that far removed from The Beatles. You definitely need to listen to some of their earlier songs, from a time when songwriters actually made an effort to tell a story. "Bus Stop," "Carrie Anne," "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," and "The Air That I Breathe," to name just a few.👍

    They're really a great group from the late 60s into the 70s and I absolutely loved this song when I was in grade school and first heard it. And I still love it today. It's hilarious because a lot of people back then confused it with Creedence Clearwater Revival, lol.
