The Hollies three part harmonies are still the best harmonies recorded!! i was driving with my daughter (who is in her 30's and loves music ) , and she said ''Wo ow who is this group singing they sound better than The Beatles!?" Well it was The Hollies Greatest Hits that we were listening to ,and I've been singing Hollies songs in my band for many years . I grew up on their music and I love them!! I'm going to their concert here in South Africa tomorrow. I can't wait!!!
Love this song, love Graham Nash. when this came out I was 14 years old. Too young to serve in Vietnam, I remember Cronkite announcing each week how many bodybags would be sent home, I think 200+. The communists were a major theat? 58,000 boys and $6 billion (1970 dollars) later I 've got a closet full of 'nam stuff and they've got most favored nation trading status. It's all about money,greed. God bless everyone involved in that mess Vietnamese and American and my sisters fiance who gave all.
A belated Happy Birthday to Bobby Elliott! I'll always cherish the day in 1983 when you sang 'Hey Mary Ann,' instead of Carrie Anne, to me. You were so nice & funny.
@sactiger I dont know,I think its more like they dont want to, probably they think its 'uncool' . Most bands today are into this attitude thing and 3 part harmonys probably sound too happy to them as 'Happy' music is dead and burried.
@pacmanindy the Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a rip-off of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man", and "Carrie Anne" is the Hollies' own song, the only similarity is they are both in related keys. That's why they sound alike, but I fail to see how they are identical.
@SuperCameronb & pacman. . . tony himself says that he started writing the song about the same time of the byrds' tambourine man, so the song was an inspiration for him. but it is definitely not a rip-off or identical. and also that 'carrie-anne' was the nearest girl's name they could think of to fit in with the lyrics. . . just sayin'!!
Um...This is from July 1967 Telecast. The only thing correct is the smothers brothers show! But with that withstanding, Love me some hollies. Fantastic 60's pop. Amazing harmonies!
too bad the video is all lip sync, a great band but too go on live show and go through the motions, if it was me i would not allow it... you would think they would atleast plug the guitars it too make it look more realistic, but what a great song this is, even better today.
Please take my cute lima bean comment off , It's been on far to long and I was only lamenting on a comment made by someone else. Never meant it to be on this long as it is embarrassing to want to hear this song and see my dumb comment, which was meant for people from my generation, who actually watched the Smothers Brothers on B/W T.V. Sincerely, Jim Lima III. President of the Lima Bean Promotional Council.
If anybody here is on Facebook, please join my recently created Hollies page- The North American Society for Hollies Appreciation (N.A.S.H.) I am trying to garner more attention for this band, which is vastly superior to many of the more well-known bands from the era. Despite the recent induction into the HOF, the Hollies still don't get much airplay, even on 60's channels... and when they do, it's always one of a few songs, and we fans know that there is more to them than that.
My sister was named Carrie Ann and although I was adopted, my name would have been Dawn (Frankie Valli) Page (Patti Page). Although we are a true "Oprah" story, my sister and I are truly a pair of muses!
Notice how harshly Alan Clark (lead singer in green vest) ages from this video (1967), compared to the clip wherein they're singing "Long, Cool Woman" in 1972. It's the clip where Clarke plays guitar. Clarke seems to have aged 15 years in a mere 5 years!
Actually named our daughter Carrie Ann. It helped that Carrie is a name from my family and Ann is common in my wife's family but it wasn't until I ran across this song title while looking through my album collection that the name just clicked. And the rest is history.
I was 16 when this came out! You are correct! Music today has no SOUL! That's why so fix it! Get out there and fix it! You can play, write, and show them of today they are CRAP!!! Lynne AUSTIN,TEXAS
@SpyroPyro This version has Graham Nash (guitar player on left with beatnick-like beard and 3rd soloist) who was a founding member of the band and subsequently left later that year. He is not in the black and white version of the song where he is replace by Terry Sylvestor who sings the third solo.
While we were munching on mushrooms and taking down the windowpanes to see how they fit in our heads-TV producers were trying to integrate that feel into what would ' translate to small screen entertainment and draw in the youth movement' thereby helping their ratings. And these were the adults that weren't totally fucked up. Lite another bowl-I'm going back for a closer look.
There will never, ever be a more memorable decade in the history of the world then the "60's". It was that one golden moment when anything seemingly could have been accomplished. It's been downhill ever since, great technology and all.
@chuckbuckbobuck YOU are right on the mark chuck...so much incredible material in music in possibly the most turbulent decade since the "other" 60's (1860) and the "Civil War"...
@paulvenom9 Lucy's a description of a child's drawing and Day in the Life is based on newspaper stories- that I understand. But I've never heard one human say to another "you played the janitor, I played the monitor" in real life. I have yet to figure that one out.
I think its the love games of kids, kissing and playing milkman and lonely housewife. That is what I take it to mean, though I like the soft cute upbeat music on this song, and the steeldrums in it. but they still dont bring it like the association band with the six man harmonys or sly and the family stone to me
Damnnn Nash is sooo young. I just saw csn in concert last friday night... soooo good still... could only keep it up for an hour and a half though... i guess age does that though lol.
Hey this is the only one of Carrie Ann that has the Steel Drums doing a solo. That is William (Bill) Smiley he is also on the album. They did not show him but I wish they had. He died of Cancer 2005 and I have his Steel drums in NM
One of the best KISS songs they recorded. Detroit rock city and shout it out loud were good. Look at Gene simmons and paul stanley, wow they had werid hair. Ace frehley looks cool.
No call for insults. I have lived in cities all my life. I know Kiss and still fail to see their connection with this Hollies video. Oh, and don't bother responding if you can't be polite.
No big deal. Just remember seeing the Hollies on the Smothers Brothers Show when I was a kid and it brought back some memories. Although I do twitch when I see a can of green lima beans.

Screw you guys, you want to hear a real hard luck story? I heard "finish your lima beans or you can't watch the Smothers Brothers". I hated green lima beans so I had to swallow or pocket pounds of disgusting green lima beans for two years. Fortunately I am still alive to tell my story.
@jimbamboozled you have my sympathies! I was forced to finish canned vegs,tough steaks and milk before I was allowed to watch Batman. Of course, to speed things along there were all those trips to the bathroom, and once buried a cache of cold spaghetti under a cushion!
Graham Nash was a founding member of The Hollies until he split in 1968...soon to hook up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills...and eventually Neil Young to form The Monkees.
This song is actually about Marianne Faithful but they didn't have the guts to call it Marriane so they called it Carrie Anne a name they made up that they never heard b4. Don't think I am bad mouthing them when i say "they didn't have the guts" because that is Graham Nash's own words, he says it on the movie "History Of Rock: The British Invasion"
It's interesting...when you see this band playing in black and white in this same time period, they're dressed more conservatively, usually in suits. During the transition from b&w to color, did people deliberately dress differently depending on whether the performance would be in color or not?
@tig2007ger Good question. Coincidentally, the move in TV, from B and W, to color took place within the same few years as was the move toward to a new look in clothing. I can't think of anyone in 1968, who wore suits, whereas up until sometime in 1966, they often did. I have viewed thousands of videos, and know music history.
Alan Clarke retired in his late fifties which was a good move as so many singers go on way to long. Look at that Whack Job Mike Love of the Beach Boys he almost 70 and has no voice left.
Great song by an incredible group. Good to hear they are finally being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.....it's long overdue. Congrats guys!
i think what you meant to write was "faithful" and not "faitful."
how strange ... this evening, i've just seen a film where she plays - plays - a matronly figure who makes a huge amount of dosh from wanking blokes off in a so-ho sex club ... go figuure.

@dahur - Oh, you are so right! Even when the Hollies appeared during the "British Invasion", their music sounded so NEW and FRESH! Still does.

Monitor: a student with disciplinary or other special duties during school hours : "show the hall monitor your pass."
Prefect: (chiefly British) in some schools, a senior student authorized to enforce discipline.

@MrTwinclarinets Thank you for your definitions! Useful even for Anglophiles who don't know that yet.

This song is actually about Marianne Faithful but they didn't have the guts to call it Marriane so they called it Carrie Anne a name they made up that they never heard b4. Don't think I am bad mouthing them when i say "they didn't have the guts" because that is Graham Nash's own words, he says it on the movie "History Of Rock: The British Invasion"

It's interesting...when you see this band playing in black and white in this same time period, they're dressed more conservatively, usually in suits. During the transition from b&w to color, did people deliberately dress differently depending on whether the performance would be in color or not?

No, I think it was just a coincidence. Fashion got more psychedelic around the same time color TV got popular.

@tig2007ger Good question. Coincidentally, the move in TV, from B and W, to color took place within the same few years as was the move toward to a new look in clothing. I can't think of anyone in 1968, who wore suits, whereas up until sometime in 1966, they often did. I have viewed thousands of videos, and know music history.

Did you name your daughter in honor of this Ballad, I assume?

Actually, this episode was aired in 1967.
Nash left The Hollies in '68 and went to perform
for CSN/CSNY in '69.
I dig this song, with some groovy steel drum solos and psychedelic effects.
Thank you so much for posting. :)
Cheers!

Alan Clarke retired in his late fifties which was a good move as so many singers go on way to long. Look at that Whack Job Mike Love of the Beach Boys he almost 70 and has no voice left.

They're cuter than the Beatles and I like their music more.

SOOO much better than the rap crap out today!
Today's music is mostly junk. I sure miss the 60's.

I wish for the "renaissance" or "rebirth" of the 1960's too.

When we were at school ..
our games were simple..
I played a janitor, you played a monitor,
then you played with older boys and prefects
what's the attraction in what they're doing..

It's "mommy-tor"...not monitor.

i think what you meant to write was "faithful" and not "faitful."
how strange ... this evening, i've just seen a film where she plays - plays - a matronly figure who makes a huge amount of dosh from wanking blokes off in a so-ho sex club ... go figuure.
a great tune, regardless.
