Absolutely love this song, The Hollies were an amazing 1960/mid1970s band, and this song is fabulous, it was released in 1974. They had loads of hits and were often on Top of the Pops in the UK. Another favourite is 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress', it's got a great beat and vibe! Another fabulous song from 1969 is called 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, it's so beautiful.😊😊

The lead singer is Allan Clarke. In the late 1960s I was 14/15 years old and had a huge crush on Allan Clarke. He left the band in 1999 due to major issues with his vocal cords. He was from Salford/Manchester, about 10 miles from my home town. I feel that The Hollies are underrated. They have some fantastic songs in their catalog.

Two of the Hollies, Graham Nash and Allan Clarke are from my home city of Salford near Manchester. They went to the boys' grammar school next to the girls' school I went to. So proud of their homegrown talent, fantastic band from my teenage years. This is an amazing track. Graham Nash joined David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form Crosby Stills and Nash and he was romantically linked with Joni Mitchell. Very much involved in the Laurel Canyon scene. The Hollies still tour, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott being the original members.

As noted in the comments, this song was written by Albert Hammond, who turned 80 yrs old back on May 18th. The song apears on his debut solo album, "It Never Rains in Southern California" from 1972. The title track to this album was a massive hit back in the day. Another great song of his is "The Free Electric Band." This guy is an incredibly prolific, gifted songwriter. His co-writing credits alone incude, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship (remember that one 😊), "One Moment In Time" by Whitney Houston, "To All The Girl's I've Loved Before" a duet by Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson, and "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer. Btw, his son, Albert Hammond Jr, is the guitarist for American garage rock band, the Strokes! Totally different sound from dad, but also great! Check out their debut album "Is This It" from 2001. Awesome music if you need to release any pent up frustrations! 😬
