Frequent releases during the mid-60s included many cover versions of popular songs, as well as a few group-penned hits and many songs written especially for them by professional songwriters.
The Hollies were formed in 1962 in Lancashire, England. By 1965,the group had been established as one of Britain's pre-eminent singles bands. As part of the British Invasion, they enjoyed huge chart success in many countries in the mid-Sixties, releasing a string of classic harmony-pop hits including Bus Stop I'm Alive, a UK No. 1, I Can't Let Go, Stop Stop Stop, Carrie Anne, On A Carousel, Look Through Any Window, and Jennifer Eccles.
In 1972, the hit Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress reached #2 in the US. Their last mega hit was He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, hitting #1 in the UK in 1988 (albeit 19 years after its first release).
The band are noted for their longevity, with their 2006 tour chalking up 45 years. Despite numerous changes in line-up, Tony Hicks & Bobby Elliott have been with the band almost from its inception.
Lead singer Allan Clarke left The Hollies in 1971, though he rejoined the band at later times. He was eventually replaced by Carl Wayne, ex lead singer of The Move, who passed away in 2004. Wayne was replaced by Peter Howarth. The 2007 line up is, Ian Parker on keyboards, Ray Stiles (Ex Mud, remember 'Tiger Feet') on bass guitar and Alan Coates on guitar and vocals by Steve Lauri.
Original bass player Eric Haydock died in January 2018.
The Hollies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2010.

The Hollies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to know.
How can I tell if she loves me so?
Is it in her eyes? (No, no, you'll be deceived)
Is it in her sighs? (No, no she'll make believe)
If you want to know
If she loves you so
It's in her kiss (that's where it is)
In her warm embrace? (No, no that's just her arms)
If you want to know if she loves you so,
It's in her kiss (That's where it is).
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss (That's where it is)
So hold her and squeeze tight.
Tell her what you want to know.
If it's love,
If it really is.
It's there in her kiss
How 'bout the way she acts? (No, no, that's just her way)
You're not listening to the words that I say.
If you want to know,
If she loves you so
It's in her kiss (That's where it is)
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss (That's where it is).
If you want to know,
If she loves you so,
It's in her kiss (That's where it is).
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss (That's where it is) .
So hold her and squeeze tight.
Tell her what you want to know.
If it's love,
If it really is.
It's there in her kiss
How 'bout the way she acts? (No, no, that's just her way).
You're not listening to the words that I say.
If you want to know
If she loves you so,
It's in her kiss (That's where it is).
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss (That's where it is)
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss (That's where it is)
Oh yeah, it's in her kiss....
