The Hollies - She said yeah

[125jlm]

It is of course a matter of opinion and taste, but my personal opinion is ... the Stones own this song with their high-energy version.

[Marybeatle1971]

I also like Paul McCartney's version in his Run devil run :-)

[Dio9O9]

Macca's version is  better :))

[2quundar]

ok, musically speaking, this version is better than the stone 's one. But if you prefer pure nergy, what about the stones?

[cyberyanmar]

better produced that the stones'version but not necessarily better

[grzegorz1960ful]

I like this -- Super RandR

The original by Larry Williams is way better than the Brit copies IMO.

[legalzinho12]

i prefer the stones version,more rough and ''dirty'',but the hollies are great too

[Sid1Vicious84]

MC5 anyone? Sound like they were heavily influenced bu this band.

[devlin15]

nothing compares to the original larry williams version

[lilblueyes30]

the stones suck and the lead singer cant dance.

[philhh65]

You said it. The Hollies are far superior musicians than the Stones. Anyone with ears can tell what sounds better.

[dandelion1967]

@philhh65 Maybe the Hollies were "far superior musicians", but they make "les good music". What a paradox, ha?

[moorlock2003]

Not bad, but The Stones' version is better.

[hollies65]

@moorlock2003 I gotta tell ya Moorlock...I'd take the Hollies over the Stones version...which for R&B covers is rare...but they better the Stones on this one. The Stones version is a muudy mess!

[moorlock2003]

It is very telling that, unlike The Hollies' version, The Rolling Stones' version of "She Said Yeah" was released on record, and was the leadoff track to their US album "December's Children". It got radio play here in Los Angeles. The band did a fantastic live vocal version on the US TV show "Hullaballoo". This, along with two others recorded by both bands, was clearly better than The Hollies' version. The Hollies, however, bettered Simon & Garfunkel with their "I Am A Rock".

[moorlock2003]

"She Said Yeah", "That's How Strong My Love Is", and "Fortune Teller" were Soul/R & B songs, better suited to The Rolling Stones' style.

[drummer78]

much better.

[bst8035]

@moorlock2003 I respect your opinion but it is matter of taste.

[vaxjoleksing]

The earliest version i have found of this song is Larry Williams from 1959. I have heard Hollies, Animals and Stones versions of this song. I also have a great cover on cd by the Swedish 60's garage band The Shakers. My favorite versions of this song is Stones and The Shakers.

[Zipgunn1]

@vaxjoleksing There might be an earlier version, it was written by Sonny Bono and (rockabilly artiste) Roddy Jackson. There's a clip on You Tube of Roddy Perfoming it in the last fews years, but I can't say for sure wether he cut it on a disc early on.

Check out the photos at :33, 1:10 and 1:21 and see if Graham Nash doesn't look like a young George Harrison.

[sapphiretaurus]

Yeah, Allan! Let it out, Babe!

[shootthebusstop]

He can let it out with me anytime.....LOL!!!!!!

[sapphiretaurus]

And me!!!!

[katdowli]

I did have a live bootleg of this song but then it disappeared from my computer :( I would love to hear it again.

[amriirma]

@rebecca> thank you for posting all these wellknown songs!!!

[DissyDissy]

not my hollies era but still like it

[citybeat60]

The 60 Hollies are my fav, but I understand your preference.

[Darius50]

I love it!

[DissyDissy]

nice

[citybeat60]

Just listened to the Animals version, did every British invasion band cover this tune, lol? Anyway, while Eric's version is not without merit, I prefer the Hollies and Stones versions.

[evilofisalm]

nice song ty rebecca

[citybeat60]

Did not know the Stones did this as well. Just listened, it's definitely rougher, which I like, but both versions are good.

[moorlock2003]

Interesting, but it is clear why it was not released at the time; it's rather disjointed. The Stones' version is far superior.

[citybeat60]

The Hollies are great, but I doubt they would've changed music. The Beatles were the leaders and everybody, including the Stones, followed the fab four's lead.

[JustaSideOrderOfLove]

OH GOD! Tony BABY! Play that guitar! :-D

[johnbeatlennon]

If The Beatles had not changed the music, The Hollies would have

[JustaSideOrderOfLove]

i agree 1000000% :-D

[citybeat60]

This song captures that spirit of the early 60s, very fun.  Thanks!

[grantzx]

great band

[icnclt]

Um dos integrantes desta banda the hollies, parece com o vocalista do arctic monkeys.
