The Hollies: The Untold Story

By G Nash

The Hollies are a British pop/rock group from Manchester, England, UK best known for their pioneering and distinctive 3-part vocal harmony style. They became one of the leading British groups of the '60s, having spent 231 weeks on the UK singles charts during that decade, the 9th highest of any artist, remaining popular into the mid '70s. The Hollies were founded by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash in 1962 as a Merseybeat-type band, some of their members having come from towns north of Manchester in East Lancashire. Graham Nash left during 1968 to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. They were popular in many countries, at least 60 singles or EPs and 26 albums charting somewhere in the world, over 5 decades, although they didn't have a lot of success in the US until "Bus Stop" in 1966. The Hollies had over 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, with 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, their big hits on both sides of the Atlantic having included "Just One Look", "Look Through Any Window", "I Can't Let Go", "Bus Stop", "Stop Stop Stop", "On a Carousel", "Carrie Anne", and "Jennifer Eccles", followed by "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress", and "The Air That I Breathe". They're one of the few British bands of the early '60s, along with the Rolling Stones, that have never disbanded, having continued to record and perform. The Hollies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during 2010.
