@michlkwitz 3 года назад

So, for the genre discussion, yes, music was labelled with genres back in the 60s and 70s, but the listening public didn't really care, because pop radio played all of the genres on the same station. There was no division of this station plays rock, this station plays country, this station plays R&B. That didn't start until the mid to late 80s and, IMO, ruined radio. We listened to EVERYTHING back in the day, regardless of genre, skin color, nationality, etc. So I really applaud you both for stepping outside of your comfort zone and checking out all of the different types of music that are out there. And your kids are going to grow up having one helluva musical education.

@BillGraper 3 года назад

The 80's still had a great variety on top 40 radio. I think the 2000's was when it really started getting all simple, instead of mixing it up.

You need to listen to the song again, because you missed the part early in the song about "Saturday night I was downtown, Working for the FBI, Sittin' in a nest of bad men..." The protagonist was working undercover in a cabaret and the long cool woman was the entertainer. He was about to blow his cover for her because he was so fixated on her.

@bobr4987 3 года назад

Yes, this was a speakeasy back in Prohibition days. Alcohol wasn't allowed, but here they were in a "bootlegger, boozer on the West side" of town on a Saturday night with "whisky bottles piling high". When "Charlie said I hope that you're able boy,.cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at ". Probably meaning the stash of liquor or the moonshine still they were using to make the booze.

My personal favorite Hollies hit is "Bus Stop", but the people pushing for "He Ain't Heavy" and "The Air that I Breathe" aren't wrong.

@woodysthoughts4032 2 года назад

He Ain't Heavy and The Air that I Breathe are later, heavier songs from the Hollies. Bus Stop is from their earlier pop period - they're different, just like the Beatles started out with pop and went on to heavier stuff. I love BOTH the early stuff and the later stuff. One of my favorites from their early period is "Carrie Anne," but I really enjoy "Bus Stop" as well.

The Hollies are from England. They were popular from the 60's through the early 70's. They had lots of hits through those years. Bus Stop, On a Carousel, The Air That I Breathe, Carrie Ann, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother are some examples. If you do another of their songs you should do The Air That Breathe or He Ain't Heavy.

Lead singer and guitarist Allan Clarke suggested “Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress),” a rockabilly-noir he had co-written weeks earlier with lyricist Roger Cook about an F.B.I. agent, a raid and a woman who catches his eye. Roger Cook: In June of 1971, Allan Clarke of the Hollies and I were at my office on Park Street in London. We frequently wrote songs together there. At around noon, we left to grab lunch at La Genova, near Marble Arch. After a bottle of wine and a brandy, Allan and I returned to work on a song. At some point we decided it should be set in New York during Prohibition. Both of us loved Hollywood films about speakeasy bad guys and cops smashing beer barrels and whiskey bottles in the streets.

The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy he's my brother He's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother, he ain't heavy

@jacklewis5452 3 года назад

song is from 1971. The Hollies are one of the great rock bands of the early rock era with a ton of hit songs. They were part of the British invasion of rock groups coming to America. And yes, there was no southern rock station, no pop music station, no heavy metal station, no soft rock station............on the same radio station you might hear the carpenters, led zeppelin, Kenny rogers, CCR............you might have a separate country music station but even then, there were a lot of cross over songs.

My first "paycheck" I went out and bought 3 albums that were on the radio that I liked. Johnny Cash, Elton John and Zeppelin. You had to catch specific late-night shows for an hour of rock or whatever. A local station in FL. did reggae sunday and I discovered a new sound.

@sharonh951 2 года назад

I can remember back in the mid-70's listening to a station in NY state (I wish I could remember where it was located) and their rotation consisted of one current pop/rock song, one oldie, and one country. It was one of the best stations I've ever listened to. Today's stations are the worst I've ever had the misfortune of hearing in my 68 yrs. One of the reasons I love this channel (and a couple of others) is being able to hear so much great music again. So many old favorites I haven't heard in years.

I love your reactions, but please stop with the "Genre" obsession. Folks in your generation unfortunately grew up in a Music World where every artist and every song has to be put into a pigeon hole. There were always categories, but this extreme genre categorization really started in the 80s as a marketing tool to sell tunes. Just like today's targeted ads, record companies advertised music differently to different demographics. This led to people only listening to music in their own "genre". In the 60s and 70s we just listened to Music we liked, no matter who put it out. So just sit back and listen to the music and enjoy. Forget Genres!! 😊 💖

I was quite young when this came out, probably around 8 or 10 years old, and it was my favorite. As others have commented, many bands of the 60s and 70s were constantly reinventing their sound. Most were simply considered "Pop," which allowed them a great deal of creative freedom. You already made the comparison to CCR, but they were also similar to Three Dog Night, early Doobie Brothers, or Wild Cherry. They were all essentially white guys blending rock, country, soul, and folk with a bit of funk here and there. They were formed in England in 1962.

There were radio stations and record labels that were very geared towards certain demographics, country, light pop and easy listening, r&b/soul, etc. A good many of us listened to a wide range but it wasn't unheard of to find people who only listened to whatever they felt closest to.

"The Hollies are a British pop rock group formed in 1962. One of the leading British groups of the 1960s and into the mid 1970s, they are known for their distinctive three-part vocal harmony style. Allan Clarke and Graham Nash founded the band as a Merseybeat-type music group in Manchester, although some of the band members came from towns further north in East Lancashire. Graham Nash left the group in 1968 to form Crosby, Stills & Nash."

Yes, Graham Nash left the Hollies because they didn't want to record his song, "Marrakesh Express" which CSN finally covered. He was moving in a whole different direction from the Hollies.

Love this! My favorite Hollie's song. Back in the day, it was my drinking song. (Long story.) I always think of some really fun times when I hear this.

@clydeb7713 2 года назад

The Hollies were a MAJOR force in the music industry! Other commenters listed some of their hits. Just an AWESOME tight band.

When I first heard this beat, riff and singer on the radio I was thinking ccr, and the dj back-announced it as The Hollies - nothing else they did sounded like this, and it remains my favorite. Who was she? Use your imagination - "just a five-nine, beautiful tall". They were a Brit Pop Rock band. On A Carousel, and Carrie-Anne were typical hits they did.

The Hollies were very "pop" sounding in the 60's. In the 70's, they changed to a more classic rock sound. The early 70's was the worst time as far as top 40 hits IMO, but this was one of those amazing songs from that time period. The only problem I have with this particular video is the horrible audio quality. You should look for the video that just has a pic of a woman in a black dress laying on her side. That one sounds great! You can actually hear the crash cymbal & vocals clearly. :) These two songs are a MUST from The Hollies: The Air That I Breathe He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother If you want to hear how different they sounded in the 60's, try "Bus Stop." You won't believe how different they sound. LOL

I saw The Hollies live, twice. They were amazing.

In the 60's and 70's and 80's Artists crossed Genres. The Radio stations played everything. I am 56 years old almost 57 and I loved all types of music. Artists would also sing with each other in Jam sessions and performances. It was all about the Music.

@barbkennedy9382 2 года назад

the Hollies are great...you really need to do more please, like 'He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother' or an early hit of 'Bus Stop' is a great one too...music is just music..no need to categorize music or even try to decide what is normal. Like how you all react to the music, there's no category for you all just your personalities...you both are wonderfully warm, welcoming, knowledgable and likable people. I love your style. To me I either like it or I don't, I guess that's from growing up in the 60s~!

@marlenabaker9894 3 года назад

The Hollies were a British rock band from the 60's. Two you should listen to are "The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" which the Osmond family has adopted as a sort of theme song.

@gj8683 3 года назад

This was a huge hit in 1972. I can still remember hearing on the radio over and over, but it never got old. It's a great song, but what really makes it is the way it was produced to get that snappy, gritty Fender sound.

@markroberts8335 2 года назад

so cool hearing this again glad you enjoyed it..thank you!

@trudywolfe2795 3 года назад

Listen to the Hollies sing.. He Ain't Heavy (He's my Brother)

@alabhaois 2 месяца назад

They named themselves The Hollies after Buddy Holly, who died in a plane crash in 1959. Also, the words are hard to make out, so it helps to read the lyrics before hand. They are a great band!! Try "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother." Wonderful song.

@jennifermullen9891 3 года назад

Air that I Breathe by the Hollies is a must. The two of you will love it.

@smith041958 2 года назад

For a few years in the mid 70s I sang and played bass in a band and this was my favourite song to play with that band.

@petes5041 3 года назад

Hi, The Hollies are from the Uk. Most notably Graham Nash was a big influence on the Band. If memory serves me well, he left the UK and the Band because he met and fell for an amazing singer/songwriter called Joni Mitchell, He followed her to the the US and ended up in Laurel Canyon, CA. Where he met up with some guys by the name of Dave Crosby, Steven Stills, and Neil Young. CSNY. You can hear the echo's of the Hollies in his music. P.S. Joni , sadly couldn't get to Woodstock! So she composed a little song for the Boy's. Guess what it was called!

@ballsyrocker 2 года назад

Little known fact: Graham Nash... of Crosby , Stills, Nash got his start in this group. This era is just after he left to fly to California and meet Stills and Crosby. He didn't care for the Top 40 sound and songs the Hollies were into. Peace. : )

@jimsquirrell1955 3 года назад

Jay and Amber, I’ve been watching you for a couple of weeks now and I have to say you are both dope. I am 65 years old, male and a kid from the 70,s. You play some great 60,s and 70,s music which I love. You are both cool , like wet wipes for adults???? I can’t tell who are the real you….. the moving ones or the avatars. Even though I am older in years I would love to have a couple of beers with you. Your enthusiasm for playing all music , old new or indifferent is infectious. I am from Ipswich England and live with my wife of 45 years plus kids at school 14 and 15. I hope you two have the life we have had. Keep reacting to the suggestions, Babba o’ Reil

@jimsquirrell1955 3 года назад

Babba O Reilly was a tough one to judge, but the who were one of the biggest world wide band from the 60,s and 70,s. Try the sounds of silence by. DISTURBED. It will blow you away.

@davidbentley145 2 года назад

It has a country /rock feel to it...definitely dance music for sure...with an irresistable beat ...Ty guys

@armorer94 3 года назад

This song was an attempt by the Hollies to write a CCR song. I think they nailed it.

@alabhaois 2 месяца назад

I think they surpassed it!!

@CharlesPhillips-no3sz Месяц назад

Except the cost was VERY high...............they got SUED by John Fogerty..............for STEALING from CCR

@debrabeck9630 2 года назад

For a different side of The Hollies, try Bus Stop. Sweet and sincere, still a great song.

@marioneto6345 5 месяцев назад

For years and years I thought this was CCR it's been a while since I figured it out but yeah I hear what you were hearing

@ms.dirtybird7779 3 года назад

@vinniemoran7362 3 года назад

"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is legendary. A lot of people have covered it. :))

@spy7538 2 года назад

I love this song. The Hollies are fantastic. He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother is beautiful.

It's a real CCR sound. Sound & voice....... The Hollies have many, many hits in the 60's, 70's.

You young'ins make me smile... chest hair was sexy in my day, now everyone pulls it out... ouch! Please react to Air that I Breathe... He Ain't heavy... Look Through Any Window... Bus Stop... Carrie Anne...

@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711 3 года назад

Love your enthusiasm. But stop the "stop" 15 seconds in with the same tiresome apology. Let the song breathe a little. The Hollies are a British group from the sixties led by Graham Nash who later helped form Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young - no doubt another supergroup you never heard of. Cheers!

@davidthrower1553 2 года назад

My personal favourite Hollies song is ‘Gasoline Alley Bred’…..Allan Clarke was a unique vocalist and of course the Hollies gave us Graham Nash of CSN!!!

@bugvswindshield 3 года назад

How can a song so simple be sooooooooooo freake'n cool??? I dunno....but ME LIKES A LOT !!! I've always loved this song since I first heard it. It just grabs me by the ...um....lower gut and doesn't let go. thanks for the memories !

@martymartines7838 2 года назад

I really like the diversity of your music and encourage you to keep it up. There has been great songs all along the way. Please keep it up.

@stonebringer1 3 года назад

All these years of loving this song and until you mentioned it sounded like CCR I had never noticed that. But you are correct. If CCR was doing this I would think it was just another great CCR song.
