The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (1972) DayOne Reacts

[@eldenjr]

This song has NEVER gotten old! Hits hard every time for me! One of the first songs i played live on the drums as a 10 year old in my dad’s band.

[@robertfindley921]

Awesome classic tune. Back in the 70s I had a bunch of friends in my car. I put this on and blasted it through my primo stereo. When it was over, all my friends yelled "AGAIN!"

[@charlesf2804]

The Hollies were part of the British Invasion in the mid-60s, and they had other hits besides this one. And some great harmonies, too. This tune was all over the radio back in the day.

[@davidhapka5410]

The great Allan Clarke on vocals and a very underrated Tony Hicks on lead guitar 😎

[@sox5131]

Love this song

[@debjorgo]

He's an undercover cop back during prohibition in the 1920s. Bars would open in basements, hidden from the police. People would be breaking the law to drink. He is going to bust the place. She's a singer. Normally she would be busted with everyone else. But he tells her, "Don't be scared, you're gonna' be spared."

[@darkprose]

I tried something like that once. DA said it was either her or me. I'm gonna miss that long cool woman in a black dress. She'll be up for parole in four or five years though. Of course, it might be awkward after I testified against her at the trial.

[@stephenclarke4675]

That bass line so simple yet it makes the song.

[@theodoreritola7641]

The 70s BASS the best Bass period

[@trevorchard6368]

Great song from a great group.

[@troyshilanski380]

Great song, great reaction.

[@george217]

"He ain't heavy, he's my brother " is another one that you might react to if you haven't already heard it...

[@phila3884]

All over the radio when it was a hit, and still on regular rotation on rock radio. Brings me back to my 10 year old self- summertime, exactly- reminds me of the radio at the local public pool.

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

A great 60's and 70's group. When Graham Nash left in the late 60's to join Crosby, Stills and Nash, they continued to come up with great songs like this rocker.

[@johnwalls1460]

..love you moving to the music!

[@StevenW3644]

Thank you for this. My first real taste of rock and wanted more. This is in my top 10 for me. Was at a wedding one time and people all went out dancing , people I knew but never thinking I’d ever see what I saw. Classic Rock & you looked so great & happy Thanksgiving day to you.

[@mcbeezee2120]

I wore the grooves off this 45(that's a record, for those who be too young...)😄

[@stevedahlberg8680]

In thinking about your comments at the end, yeah right on, you totally got the feel of it I'm positive. It was a huge Radiohead but as someone who loved it back then but also I'm a musician of several years and if I look at it that way, wow that is just such a solid composition for something relatively simple and yet The Hollies were never simple, they were so talented. Love your sweater by the way, it just puts me in the exact mood for the holidays, pretty damn cool.

[@MartinMcMartin]

Song definitely has a smooth groove in it.

[@Elephant2024]

A great rocker by the Hollies. One of those songs that is so catchy it just stays with you. The Hollies had a lot of great hits. My favorite of theirs being 'The Air That I Breathe.'

[@EarthWalker2023]

Absolutely 💯 fire

[@JeffersonMills]

Great reaction to a classic tune!

[@harpergras]

This has always been an awesome song.

[@joelcampbell7100]

You should react to their “He ain’t heavy he’s my brother “…… very different but another excellent piece of music

[@rhphotocdn]

Bus Stop and The Air That I Breathe are also Bangers by the Hollies

[@michaeldavid6284]

"The Air That I Breathe" is definitely NOT a banger.

[@geoffn54]

Top band with top songs. Bus Stop is another great song.

During the first few days of this song's radio airplay, many people thought for sure it was CCR.

[@boroblueyes]

Love your reaction, these guys were way cool.

[@galexj123]

Great song,great reaction!!! This song was used in the movie “Remember The Titans”

[@gazoontight]

Lovely Angela. Great song.

[@peterlewis5151]

One of the very best British bands....

[@MattParra15]

So many good bands from England

[@ricknbacker5626]

This song was a big hit in the USA back in 1972, Fun Fact: Many people thought this was a Creedence Clearwater Revival song. So much so that CCR's main songwriter John Fogarty SUED Allan Clarke and the Hollies. Claiming it infringed on their trademark sound. Particularly heard on CCR's 1969 big hit:' 'Green River'. Which reached #2 on the Billboard charts The case was thrown out! Great reaction young lady, RNB

[@theodoreritola7641]

And the singer looks like Luke Spencer off of General Hospital of the 70s and 80s Tony Garry

[@Eaglesmere]

What a tool fogarty is !

[@geraldtaylor8047]

Great info, I never heard about the legal battles with CCR, thank you!

[@jackempson3044]

I saw these guys on their "Riding On a Carousel" tour. Graham Nash was with them then. I remember him well because of his Russian style hat he wore on stage. I was very young.

[@josephmcphillips9322]

I love it when you all dance to good music

[@nchw68]

A tidbit of info, Alan Parsons recruited this singer (Allan Clarke) to sing lead vocals on the track "Breakdown" for the "I, Robot" album.

[@MauricioDelaRosa-db7rr]

My favorite Hollies song My dear Angela can't emphasize enough how much I love your chair dancing 🔥♥️

[@derekhauffe7197]

Wonderful! Check out “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” by them.

[@danjoda755]

Hi Angela 🤗 Just wanted to say thank you for a classic track and a really fun reaction, as well as wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃😇🌹 Yeah, this song got me up the Saw Mill Parkway in no time flat! 😂

[@allenhall8493]

one of the best intros ever!!

[@bakerman10]

Angela is so beautiful, I love every song she reviews.

[@LouieLouie3]

“I like that” 😅❤

[@quicktastic]

I've been listening and loving this song for many years and I couldn't tell you right now what most of the lyrics are. I have actually looked them up and read them a few times, but after a while I forget what they are and listening to it does not remind me of them. I guess all you really need to know is that he is drunk FBI agent who is following a knockout in a black dress and she apparently 'has it all'. :)

[@wendell6468]

Remember the Titans...😊😉

[@rranger1014]

Wonderful sweater, groovy moves let's dance!

[@aron9368]

Hollies sounds alot like CCR his voice is a bit like John Fogerty also, nice 😊

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Great song. After decades I still only get 50% of what he says, but I don’t even care to learn them

[@sharkmedia5969]

Always thought it was cool that a band famous for their vocal harmonies had such a big hit with this song that had no vocal harmonies at all.

[@stephengilbert-p7z]

Air that i breath, he aint heavy hes my brother.

[@EvanWeber1234]

another great one to grow up on

Awesomeness

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Haven't been on your channel in quite a while, but I was for a long time before that, and I'm so happy to come back across this. ❤ You are extraordinary as always and it was fascinating that people thought that Creedence Clearwater Revival did this hit. It's all good to me cuz I like both of them so much!

[@ronaldtucker1262]

Oh, you are having fun!

[@davids2096]

They are an amazing band with a number of hits! Another song you can react to by The Hollies is Bus 🚌🚐 🛑 Stop! 🦃Happy Thanksgiving again and be safe and take care!

[@mitchnauffts3939]

Great reaction!

[@walboyfredo6025]

I like your reaction. Yiur the only one who highlighted the "country feel" to thus song. A number of C&W artists covered this song. Only goes to show your judgement was right.

[@LarryLewis-nz1oy]

You have the moves you would have had fun in the 70s. I was 19 in 1972.

[@davebennett-n9d]

love it when you dance and move Angela, also the contrast of dress and style of the Hollies in a five year period makes you think it is another group/band as if you would never think they are the carrie anne band in suits.

[@williamboylan4516]

One of the first songs I remember that made me want to bounce while dancing.. ....so memorable because the rhythm is so uniquely defined.

[@thomasmcdonough6642]

U are one of my Favorites Do Elvis Il Have a Blue Xmas without U Thanks Beautiful ❤ Bill in Freeport Bahamas

[@thomastimlin1724]

This song would get everyone up on the dance floor...unusual superhit for the Hollies...people were used to their ballads...the opening guitar riff and the one in the song have become classics, as the song has. My only beef about the song is it could have used a guitar solo in the middle to lengthen the song. But I suppose they were leery about the radio stations not wanting to play the song if it was too long and takes away from advertising time. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1972 for two weeks, held off the top spot by Gilbert O' Sullivan's over the top sad ballad "Alone again Naturally." I called that song the "Poor Me" song lol.

[@Eaglesmere]

"Long Dark Road" is another great song by them. Great vocals.

[@paulwalker9421]

Have a great Thanksgiving God bless you and your family.

the l;yrics really dn;t matter, you could be singing about Cheescake and the people would still like it. "I went downtown to get some Cheesecake, but they said the cheesecake was all gone." no one would care lol. Okay everybody, you can start helping write the new cheesecake lyrics now hahahha

[@sam-wz8tu]

Doesn't sound like any other Hollies song. Thought it was CCR the first time I heard it.

[@Art-f9d]

If you like well sung romantic songs, then you need to listen to RONNIE DYSON'S, "If you let me make love to you, then why can't I touch you"? His vocal delivery is clean and emotional. Please give it a listen. Thanks. Oh, and also THE DELLS, THERE IS and WEAR IT ON MY FACE" songs. Awesome group with many hit songs.
