Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies
Uploaded by: Hoopie88
Video Description:
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was a song by the rock and roll group, The Hollies, and released on February 1, 1972 as a single on the Parlophone Records label.
It was released soon after Allan Clarke, who was featured on lead guitar as well as lead vocal had left the group, from their album "Distant Light" (1970). As the group had just left EMI/Parlophone and signed with Polydor, they did not promote the song. However it became a No. 2 hit in the United
States, their greatest ever singles success there. It was inspired and in the style of the rock and roll group Creedence Clearwater Revival, and on being reactivated by EMI in Britain a few months later, it reached No. 32. The song is notable in that it features Clarke playing rhythm guitar, someth
ing he rarely did (Clarke came up with the song's signature guitar rhythm that opens the song). Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Cool_Woman_in_a_Black_Dress

Come on,the Allan Clarke performance,and the Bobby Elliot drummer are AWESOME
CCR is one of the best bands all time!!!
But there is a big difference between the Allan Clarkes voices and Fogerty voices. Clarke has higher level, and it is more ductile. In fact,Allan had sung in all the rhythms . although the base of this song is a simple rock, it is not rustic, The hollies song has a rare sort of wild and delicacy,at the same time
Thanks.
