    Another great Graham Gouldman composition! Poor guy wrote massive hits for others, like Hermans Hermits, The Hollies and The Yardbirds, but never had a hit for himself until he and the 10CC lads rocketed into the charts! Tony Hicks is so under-rated as a guitarist! Loved this band!

      you can tell Dave Gregory from XTC listen to him :P, for some reason the guys in the Hollies arent taken very seriously on a musical level, Prob because they were talked into doing soem corny and now very dated things by EMI producer Ron Richards. Tony is way underrated and Bobby Elliot has to be the best drummer in the early
      Brit Invasion scene

      Agreed, the drummer has a pulse and touch of silk in each beat above most of that Age in bigger billed bands that became legends. Easy to overview? His timing too was impeccable, you cant get better than that. What made others shine above I can't conceive, unless it was the material played or being in a band with songwriters like Lennon-McCartney.... Because he has more chops and the stuff to outbeat any Ringo or Charlie or Ian et al. _in their own bands and own songs. This is a drummer that leaves his own skin on those skins

    The song was written by Graham Gouldman, who also wrote another Hollies' song "Bus Stop." Gouldman wrote "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds, "Listen People" by Herman's Hermits, and eventually moved on to 10CC, co-writing "I'm Not in Love" and "The Things We Do for Love." Quite a songwriting résumé.

    I love the Hollies. I may no secret of it in my comments. But...one of the things I really like--that I haven't seen any comments on in any song on RUclips-- is how much they look like they're really ENJOYING themselves when they perform--refreshing--especially in view of modern groups who strive to be so angry and tough, etc. (Yeah, you can deride me as an old fart, I don't mind)

    Hollies performance on the German TV show "Beat Club" on 5/28/1966. Luckily, the Germans did not erase their programmes, so almost all these performances by classic bands can still be viewed. Unfortunately, in England far too many programmes were erased, including early Beatles.

      That's why you can't find the historic Beatles footage from the Palladium, the shows where the term Beatlemania was coined, plus you can't find any Stones footage from 1963, or the ready steady go episode that was entirely the Who, plus countless others.

    I didn't realize that this song by the Hollies was trying for the Byrd's vibe. I DO hear it now in the 12 string lead guitar and the harmonies. It's an awesome tune no matter what the inspiration was.

      Nobody said that at the time because quite simply the Hollies were virtually unknown in the States and the Byrds were hardly known in the UK. The Hollies were sort 3 to 4 in the pecking order of UK groups.

It is only through you tube I have bothered to find out anything about them like Mister Nash was in this group before Crosby Stills and Nash. This type of information just blows me away. Then I get to listen to the music and all is well with my world.

      My Mom (who grew up in that era) told me they took pride in how they looked. Even the economically challenged would go out of their way to look respectable. Unlike those of today. Mind you, I am going by what I see where I live. They are overweight (I got nothing against overweight people. Some cannot help it. The ones I am speaking of are the ones who got no self respect and got the I give up on life thing going) or bone thin and scragly. Fayette county is full of women who look haggard and beat up by life.
      No tattoos or piercings. Yep. A female with those was unheard of.

    The Hollies had the Sound of the '60s!
    Nailed it, in fact!
    There were a Lot of great bands in the '60s, but few had the "60s Sound" that the Hollies had.
    At the local Stock Car Races on a Saturday night, and they'd play "Riding around on a carousel"
    to those of us in the bleachers, and it just "felt like 1967!!" Nothing like it.
