Covers his childhood and the early days of the Hollies. Includes interview segments with him, his sisters, Allan Clarke, and Bobby Elliott. Sorry for all the audio hiss--this came off an old VHS tape.

The Hollies were as great as the Beatles in the mid 60's - their records are great to listen even know - my favorite album is "Evolution" (1967) - Graham Nash was very important in the band as he was later with CSN&Y

Lawrence Cerf Agreed, u cant compare them. The Stones werent singers. The Beatles were song writers. The Hollies were a funtime band. Nothingheavy or sad. Just a good time and happy sounds. I didnt care for Graham that much. Prima donna. Show off.

I came to know the Hollies just recently when I listened “Long cool woman dress in black” that I had heard once as a little girl, now I am in love with them , they’re nothing to envy the Beatles

Based on what I read in his book, it sounds to me like that was what his Dad said to try and save face. Graham says he doesn't know, but at the time he knew his Dad did not have the money for all of the photography supplies that suddenly appeared.

Listen carefully...insert 'J, P, & G' on the vocals of "Bus Stop"...and the source of the 'Hollies' first huge American 'hit' becomesvery clear! Graham and Clarke are 'fudging a bit' when it comes to the '62-'67 era...they dead copied every thematic instrumental elementas well as vocal harmony and 'bridge-structuring'...and flat-out lifted every 'Ringo lick' there was! (it reminds me of the 'Romantics' hit-single "What I Like About You"...every aspect of that song was as "Beatle" as "Beatle" can get!) (of course. if you're gonna' copy...who better to 'copy' from?)

A lot of these groups like the Hollies, Kinks, etc were started around the same time as the Beatles. Who influenced whom is open for debate. The Beatles no doubt broke big before the others, but it doesn't mean the others copied them. Its not like the Beatles didn't have American influences too.

Ah this American thing rears its ugly head again. The Hollies had about 8 British and European hits before Bus stop whereas the Americans think Bus stop was the first Hollies hit ? The British groups were all doing covers of the US Rock and Roll before any one of them (Beatles included) had any hit records at all. So they had all developed their own particular sound. BUT, if you want to talk Beatles then listen to how they were influenced (along with many others) by your very own Beach Boys. Most British groups sounded like covers band in the mid 1960's when you compare with Would it be nice, God only Knows, Good Vibrations, California Girls. The production on those four songs alone was a country mile ahead of anything being done in the UK....the Brits had some serious catching up to do.

Yeah, If you're gonna copy, why not the EVERLY BROTHERS, good enough for the Beatles, and the Beatles were good enough for the Hollies! Even Lennon said that "All music is RE-HASH", and king Solomon said there was "Nothing new under the sun"! Get a GRIP, and lose the "GRIPE"!
