White chalk, written on red brick. Our love, told in a heart. It's there, drawn in the playground. Love, kiss, hate or adore. I love Jennifer Eccles. I know that she loves me. I used to carry her satchels. She used to walk by my side. But when we got to her doorstep, her dad wouldn't let me inside. One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade. Started me thinking, had she done the same? I hope Jennifer Eccles is going to follow me there. Our love is bound to continue. Love, kiss, hate or adore. Singing,

[@geraldwalsh6489]

I was 16 in 1968..i am 71 now and still love the Hollies! I am one of their many fans in Ireland. I reckon Listen to me was a very underated single ss it only reached the loeer echelons of the Top Twenty

I love to see these old videos with Graham Nash in them. I've loved him ever since I first saw him and I was only 12 when this was filmed.

The most under estimated band in modern history. So, so, talented 👍

Geoff James I think that is a great comment Geoff!

[@fcaughli]

If you mean underappreciated or underrated no. We all knew about them and they sold plenty of records

[@samualcrocket1405]

I don't think they generated the same publicity as some of the other bands. We like their hit singles at that time but I don't know anyone from back then who bought their albums, knew what they looked like, or talked about their group. There was no You Tube. Only had the Ed Sullivan show and what was being promoted on the radio.

[@darylkanofski9327]

I would agree with that

The drummer was soo good, I love listen to his drumming

[@douglashall2141]

I was 12 years old at that time in 1968, and the only reason I went to the swimming pool was to listen to the Jukebox and plug it was Holly's music and Badfinger. All the oldies including the Beatles and David Bowie. But most of all the Hollies and bad finger

[@dimitrioskatsochis2338]

Allan Clarke was a fantastic singer, a gifted performer! Love his voice and style, culminated in early '70s reaching stellar level with Long cool woman in a black dress. Which met such success that he had to postpone his post-Hollies career..

[@tinmania]

Yep, they had to grab him back after it became a surprise big hit, and they were touring. Clarke's "replacement," Swede Mikael Rickfors (wtf were they thinking?), couldn't sing the song live so it was left to Terry Sylvester. Terry actually did a decent job, but I think the Hollies would have done better in the 70s without that first departure from Clarke.

On this day in 1968 {March 10th} "Jennifer Eccles" by the Hollies entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #76; and nine weeks later on May 12th, 1968 it peaked at #40 {for 1 week} and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #5 in Austria and Norway... Between 1964 and 1983 the quintet had twenty-four Top 100 records; six made the Top 10 with "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)" being their biggest hit, it peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} in 1972... The two weeks that "Long Cool Woman" was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O’Sullivan...

I was a teen in the 60's and would rate the Hollies right up there third behind the Beatles and Beach Boys, the Hollies kept churning out hits as if on a production line..:)

[@leorosendale9617]

Jennifer Eccles was a protest tune after King Midas missed Top Ten. Management wanted more pop hits. The result was another hit that still stands the test of time.

[@TheIgmister1]

Tungsten Kid, You have gr8 taste in 60s music, except I rate The Beach Boys numero uno. Good Vibrations rates with the best Mozart could ever have written. For mine, The Beatles narrowly head The Hollies because of their writing abilities, but The Hollies were almost on a par with the Beach Boys when it came to harmonies. Arohanui.

[@tungstenkid2271]

@@TheIgmister1 The B Boys were great of course, but their music had a softer feel to it than the Beatles chunkier bass guitar sound which i think I prefer.. Incidentally did the Hollies write their own songs?

[@dianataylor8758]

CSN had some songs that I liked listening to at the time. Never loved any of them. Over the past forty five years, never requested them, pulled them up on youtube or fail to turn the station on the radio looking for something better. They may have been on the cutting edge, but musically, the tunes weren't all that. They put me in mind of cabbage patch dolls, you know, all the rage in the day because they were a hot commodity but intrinsically an ugly doll. They made a lot of money too. That too is history.

The groove of this song is so much like "The 59th Street Bridge Song" (commonly called "Feelin' Groovy") by Paul Simon. That song is from Simon and Garfunkel's 1966 album, so predates this by a couple of years.

"White chalk written on red brick", sung by The Hollies. Until a month ago I had no idea what these words meant, as millions of others also may not know. Then, May, 2018, my Wife and I went to England, visited the U.K, stayed at Liverpool, two nights. People, Liverpool is a 'MUST SEE'!. Do yourself a favour, do your homework, but absolutely, Liverpool ya gotta see. you MUST check out The Cavern Club, it's where the Beatles first got 'recognised' and firstly managed by their first, Manager, Brian Epstein,. It's where we scrawled our two name on a red brick in 'The Caven'. Not a lot of space available for your initials, but you'll never know if you never go.

[@Harrisonianne]

absolutely(!) I spot the Nash-Clarke tension all through that concert and specially when they sing "A Taste Of Honey" in which Graham says now wel doing a song by "Bert" Alpert and then Allan response it's Herbert not Bert lol 😂 but Graham seemed to give a sh*t about everything already. The whole show I feel Graham is a total 🤡 causing Allan being a bit grump or whatever bc they were trying to be the most professional (I think they were known mainly of being a pro band) and Allan standing aside in here with Graham saying stupid things only to mock up and seriously I've seen he stole the show with his words bc Tony breaks in laughter all of the time when Graham speaks so they hardly find a way to return to do their thing- that would have been frustrating to ALLAN Clarke, consummated and PRO Frontman of The Hollies to carry on(!) 🤷🏻‍♀️
