What's ironic is that Graham Nash left the Hollies because he didn't want to do the Dylan album, and because he wanted to do "heavier" things. Not to be critical but I think this song is considerably heavier than much of his post-Hollies, early CSN work. That said, it's a great version of a great song.

i absolutely agree with you. thanks for the comment.

I agree with all of the above. Interestingly Nash sings this and it IS better than anything that he wrote while with CSN. Hicks was/is a genius with his instruments. He sings a pretty darned good harmony too. The Hollies were second only to the Beatles in terms of their creativity and were arguably better musicians both vocally and instrumentally.

I love the song Graham and Tony. I got a break up telephone call for my 5 yr relationship breakup. Tony Hicks is awesome! He seems so sweet : )

It's not really a secret.

That being said, I think I prefer the way it sounds in Billion Dollar Babies :)

This has always been my favorite early Hollie's tune. Thanks for posting it.

This song was a pretty big hit in Philadelphia, by Keith.

As a teenager, this song was one on my Hollies Greatest Hits record that I didn't care for, but as a 59 YO adult, I love it as much as any other song on that album. A totally wonderful song in my opinion.

great song. i love the hollies, but i think i like the fogelberg/weisberg version better. many years later i noticed quite a similarity to laurindo almeida's 1963 "lounge"/bossa nova version of "misirlou."
