The Hollies are an English Rock Group from Manchester formed in 1962.  One of the best and most commercially successful Pop Rock of the British Invasion and best known for their pioneering and distinctive three part vocal harmony style (heavily influenced by The Everly Brothers), and melodic cheer similar to the early of The Beatles.  It was formed by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash in late 1962 as a Merseybeat music style group in Manchester.  Graham Nash left the band in 1968 to form the Supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash.  The band enjoyed at least 60 Singles and EPs and 26 Albums.  The Hollies had over 30 Charting Singles on the UK Singles Chart and 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 such as "Bus Stop", "Just One Look", "Look Through Any Window", "I Can't Let Go", "On A Carousel", "Stop Stop Stop", "Carrie Anne", "Jennifer Eccles", "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe" and many more.  The Hollies were inducted to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2010.
