Absolutely!-can remember seeing the Hollies performing this on NZ TV during the early 70s, excellent thanks for posting this 💎 Auckland New Zealand 2022
I kind of grew up with them; but there were So many groups coming and going, it was hard keeping track of all them. I definitely like them better now, than then.
Incredible harmonies. They were sometimes underrated. There were so many supergroups around the charts were packed solid with talent including these . Absolutely fantastic era for pop music
Expertly crafted pop from The Hollies. This was their first single with new boy Terry Sylvester, replacing Graham Nash and they were awarded with a massive UK hit in early 1969 reaching Top 3.
@@robertbradshaw6307 That IS slightly controversial because there's such a love out there among Hollies fans for Graham Nash. Even Non Hollies music fans probably prefer Nash too over Sylvester because he arose to great things afterwards too, with CSN and CSNY. I'm a HUGE Nash fan myself but feel the vocal trio of Clarke/Hicks/Sylvester provided a smoother, more enjoyable harmony sound than that of Clarke/Hicks/Nash. Sure, Sylvesters solo voice lacked the unique characteristics of Nash's voice but good Lord, those 70s albums with Sylvester are great. Such a great string of singles too between 1969 and 1980 yet only three MAJOR hits in He Aint Heavy, He's My Brother, Long Cool Woman and The immaculate The Air That I Breathe. Nash is worthy of all kinds of praise but Terry deserves some good loving too!
@@thomasmarthinussen8978 I agree! My theory is that (aside from CSNY) Nash is better remembered because he was the innovative Hollie. The Hollies were still pretty successful with Terry Sylvester but nobody really talks about that era. I guess cause the commercial pop-rock of that day just isn't cool anymore, which I think is a shame. People are missing out on some really fantastic albums. A Crazy Steal and Distant Light remain my 2 favorite Hollies albums. Their sound and songwriting really matured and the way that orchestra is combined with the music is truly perfection. I've gotten a lot of flak from Nash fans for preferring the Hollies in the '70s but my opinion will never change!
@@MarigoldGloriaSwansong Oh, The 70s Hollies gave us some marvellous yet underrated music. Another Night from 1975 is my favourite album during this fertile periode. Too bad they couldn't follow with hits after The Air That I Breathe. Sylvester brought a smoother sound and although I LOVE the Clarke/Hicks/Nash harmony blend I actually prefer the Clarke/ Hicks/ Sylvester sound.
Discovered this song by searching up songs with women's names and found this in a playlist. Had to play it because it's my mum's name and I've never seen it represented in a song before. I was happily surprised. This song was amazing.
This is such a great song; easily my favourite of theirs. It is so sweet and simple and totally focused on the other person, who actually has a name! The playing and harmonies here are wonderful too.
I never saw this clip of this song, before now. Thanks for posting. I am so amazed at how many different songs and footage there are of the Hollies on the net. Love it!
You are very welcome! By your channel name, I see you must be a big fan of The Hollies lead guitarist. He is great, as are the rest of the lads. I love their music and I am so happy you liked this clip. Thanks so much for watching it! Jim
Clearly, The Very Best Recording, Of Both Audio & Video, Of This Classic Golden Oldie Version That I Have Ever Heard. *I Tip My Hat To The Master.* *VERY WELL DONE MAISTRO.*
Not a big hit in our town but I always love it, Heather. They are just a Great "British Invader" group that put out wonderful music, I think. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great week too! Jim
@@larsrosberg3321 You're quite right. Reginald Dwight only played on the studio recording. Bernie Calvert plays the piano on live shows, and Tony Hicks plays the bass guitar in his place.
SORRY SUZANNE pieseň skupiny HOLLIES, ktorá bola v UK rebríčku 12 týždňov od 5. marca 1969 a ako 14. TOP 10 hit skončila na 3.m. V rebríčku Billboardu skončila na 56.m. Autormi piesne boli Stephens a Macaulay. V januari 1969 sa náhradou za Grahama Nasha stal Terry Sylvester bývalý člen skupín The Escorts a The Swingin´Blue Jeans.Táto pieseň bola prvou študiovou nahrávkou Sylvestra so skupinou Hollies.
Not live, except maybe Allan. Guitars aren't plugged in and Tony is nowhere near the mike. And I've noticed that Tony often smirks when he's lip-sinking.
I think they recorded the first (there's the orig live recording here in YT a black and white video) then they re-recorded (as a take two? 🤔, three. over...) mind. there are at least three different "Sorry Suzannes" live from this Tom Jones show.
When did I hear them for the first time? I think it was in early 1970s, and I was maybe 12. The song was recorded on a thin (1 mm) flexible disc, and it was maybe the only official recording of the Hollies in the USSR at that time. The disc was completely worn out, the sound was awful, but the song itself...
Definitely not live. Clarkie singing over track. Great band. The English had a thing with union policy where you could mime to a re-recorded track but not the original in those days. Don't ask me...
I could never understand how they suppressed the drums when a group was synching to a pre-recorded track. You can see that he is actually hitting the crash cymbals etc.
