A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The publication date marks the 50th anniversary of the band's first No 1 hit back in 1965 when 'I'm Alive' knocked Elvis's 'Crying in the Chapel' off the top spot on June 24. This is the first ever biography of a band which had two remarkable careers. Their amazing run of three-part harmony hits came to an end when Graham Nash left for the US taking his new songs 'Marrakesh Express' and 'Teach Your Children' with him to form Crosby, Stills & Nash. But a second run of success was kick-started with a wave of classic singles led by 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' and 'The Air That I Breathe' dominated charts and the airwaves in the 1970s. With exclusive guest interviews and contributions from band members including Graham Nash, The Hollies Story promises to re-evaluate their place in the history of popular music. The band is one of the leading British groups of the 1960s (231 weeks on the UK singles charts during the 1960s; the 9th highest of any artist of the decade) and into the mid 1970s. Sixties hits included: 'Just One Look'; 'Here I Go Again'; 'I'm Alive'; 'Look Through Any Window'; 'If I Needed Someone'; 'I Can't Let Go'; 'Bus Stop'; 'Stop, Stop, Stop'; 'On a Carousel'; 'Carrie Anne'; 'King Midas in Reverse'; 'Jennifer Eccles'; 'Sorry Suzanne' and 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother'. Seventies hits included 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress'; and 'The Air That I Breathe'.
