Hollies - Sandy - [STEREO]

[ComradeCrusty]

BETTER than any other version of Sandy. I've loved this since I was a kid listening on cassette on a little player under my covers. Peace!!!

I was sitting in a cafe in Barnoldswick East Lanchashire, where - according to the bar man - one of the members of Hollies was sitting.....anybody knows if they come from this area????

Really nice song.... very nice memories for me. It's such a pleasure to see Graham Nash at an early point in his career knowing that he went on alone and then with Steven Still and David Crosy (with some influence from Neil Young).... love to watch the evolution of the artists in my generation.

@KGOldWolf Graham Nash had nothing to do with this song. You're hearing the beautiful high harmony voice of his replacement, Terry Sylvester. Nash had left the group in 1968 & this is from 1975. It's getting old having to correct Nash fans who have no clue about the short time he was in the Hollies. Nash also had already left when they recorded LCW, Air That I Breathe, He Ain't Heavy....Their biggest hits were without Nash.

Are you familiar with "The Wall" by Pink Floyd? The pedantic instructor; was he a blood relative?

[heymaryann1]

@KGOldWolf It was simply an act of kindness on my part to save you from embarrassing yourself with any more nonsensical posts, but you're probably used to being embarrassed. Enjoy your ignorance!

A great song by the Hollies, it should hit a higher position in the pop chart with this superb performance...

[bjb8847656]

This is the best version, with due respect to The Boss, and could possibly be a hit if re-released today in the UK?

[WarshipAngelus]

The Boss is overrated... Just like Bod Dylan.

[64fairlane305]

@WarshipAngelus you`re overrating yourself

[WarshipAngelus]

@64fairlane305 For real You're going to tell me that the Boss is better than the Hollies, Grass Roots, Rolling Stones, the Doors, Led Zepplin, ZZTOP and The Guess Who and the Who. Just to name a few.

In his own right Bruce Springsteen is one hundreth times better than some of the rock stars of today, but I wouldn't place him in the same level as John Lennnon or even Eric Chaplton.

[64fairlane305]

@WarshipAngelus  low boodsugar? calm down. What`s the point of this "who is bigger"? They`re all different anyway

Ooer, that pic of Sandy is a bit saucy lol.

Not heard this before, nice song and well done by the Hollies.

[heine71]

The Hollies had one more Top 40 hit in 1983: A remake of the Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love".

This was on the radio around the same time as "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)" by Tony Orlando & Dawn. In the case of both that song and "Sandy", I was sure that the DJs were saying the titles wrong because I knew the songs by other titles when done by other artists. The Dawn song was "He Will Break Your Heart" by Jerry Butler (plus another version that was a hit in DC in 1969 by a group called the Groovers). And I knew the Springsteen recording title for this one.
