![[ThatSingerReactions] The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) -Lyric video reaction](/img/n.gif)
This is one of my favorite Hollies tunes and there are so many. Air That I Breathe, Carrie Anne, Bus Stop, Long Dark Road (greatly underated).
ABSOLUTELY love Carrie Ann
His voice was made for this song!!
thats song is solid gold
Thank you sir for calling "Long Cool Woman (in a black dress)" "funky"!
Imagine a hot go go girl on each side of the singer......what a great stage visual and the perfect song for go go dancing. One of my faves of alltime
Hollies released this in April 1972 . Tine Turner released "Steamy Windows" in 1989 . So if anyone ripped off a song it was whoever wrote "Steamy Windows"
Love when that bass drops in there !!
so epic
Idk what anyone says, when I hear this I’m moving my body. You just can’t not.
This is such a cool, "poppy" tune. Great car drivin' song BTW. It is what so many soft and harder rock songs in the 70s do, they make you smile, lift you up, and make you happy to be alive. The Hollies rule!❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a cool song. I do a bit of mixing and there is alot of effects that you can use. But these guys have taken the reverb and manipulated it on the drums, guitar and vocals to give it something special. Talk about working with minimum effects and make it count. Wow, I`m blown away. Back to basics for me. Great reaction mate and greetings from Sydney.
Did you know some of the early Hollies hits were written by a guy called Graham Gouldman, who later joined the band 10cc. Now you really should check them out. They had hit after hit in the 70's. You probably know I'm not in love already, but I like The dean and I, Good Morning Judge or Rubber Bullets
According to Wayne Fontana, Graham wrote a great song for the Hollies called Bus Stop. Then he wrote another great song for The Yardbirds called For Your Love.
Graham also wrote a great song for Herman's Hermits called No Milk Today. Then he wrote this piece of crap for me, Pamela Pamela.
Dreadlock holiday is my favourite
This is candy for the brain. Great tune. Well done Harri.
Such a great song!
Ya it sounds a bit like Tina Turner's Steamy windows at the begining but the Holies have about 16 or 17 years over Tinas Steamy Windows! This is an awesome song!
This song has always been popular among female strippers AKA female exotic dancers around the country is such a great song to listen to when they're dancing it was on some survey I saw in a magazine one time I think it was in the one of the top five songs they perform too if you listen to it closely that's a perfect song for them to share their beautiful bodies over
This made me laugh so hard 😂
Crank it up in the car and ride! Used to be the loudest one we played. Lol !
Awesome cool song, jamming yeah 👌😎👍🎸🎸
You are, to put it succinctly, awesome!!!!!!
Love LOVE the bass in this song! This song was a sure fire way to get everyone on the dance! Love your videos !
Released 1972……seems like yesterday
The beat and rythym is captivating, mesmerizing.
My favorite Hollies song
Bus stop second .
Thanks Man!
I was s DJ back in my prime. The guitar intro was off the chart. I would say on the PA; that any girl wearing black would get s free shot ( cheap ).
Didn't matter. This song got girls dancing every time. Fantabulous. My karoke friend Charlie would sing it with me. Even though it was a little rough, it still kicked ass. I remember olaying for a way younger crowd and it blew them away. Great songs stand the test of time. This is right up there !!!!
Harri, you make me smile so often. It is so joyous to listen to your reactions.
The best Creedence Clearwater Revivalish song which has nothing to do with the Creedence Clearwater Revival ... love it 😃😃😃
Half the royalties go to John Fogerty/CCR
I am guessing CCR wrote the song..but have they got a version as well?
I' ve found the names Alan Clarke / Roger Frederick Cook / Roger John Reginald Greenaway as songwriters ...
Well, Alan Clarke is the singer of the Hollies, but the other the authors are unknown to me. And CCR never sang this song.
@@hmrueggi6420 Well, in a way they did - just listen to Green River, written & recorded 4 years earlier!
My favorite song was “Long Time” by Boston, but this was my number two go-to song. 😝♥️
Cannot go wrong with the mesmerizing Foreplay/Long Time by Boston. Greatest intro in modern music history❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great car driving tune!
I just starting getting on the Hollie band and another 60. bands way befor my time but sound great
Saw her walk up to the table with a big walking black cat
tis guy love music like me I grow up in the 80 has a child I like this guy reviews. he has good taste in music
Great song great reaction video - well done :)
These guys are the definition of an underated but sublime group from the mid-late 60s thru the 70s. Along with He Ain't Heavy and The Air That I Breathe, my fave Hollies songs.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Steamy Windows” was released in 1989; this Hollies song appeared in 1972. If anyone was inspired, it had to be Tina Turner. But you are right about how similar they are.
That percussion type sound you hear is him hitting double notes at the same time.
The Long Cool Woman guitar riff entre leaves the briefer and simpler chords in Steamy Windows in the shade. The Hollies even have to teach those wanting to cover how to do it. Slight comparison, with LCW being the obvious inspiration value level.
I had the vinyl sleeve of THIS arrive today SIGNED! Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott two ORIGINAL members have both signed the front sleeve.
Musical history. C. 5/2022.
Great song ! .. But I have to agree with you about the over the top reverb on the vocals, Harri .. It made it very hard to hear the lyrics properly .. I had to look them up to know what the actual words were .. Nice reaction, mate .. Wayne
Its a shame they overdid that
I looked up the lyrics a few years ago. I’ve always loved this song but I was never sure what he was saying.
Oh love this
Smokey Helen a stripper I knew back in the 1970s said this was her favorite song to dance to she saw it from a list of songs in a magazine that exotic dancers love to dance to this is a follow-up to another comment I made about the subject
The Hollies are from the UK? Learn something new every day in the rock world! They sound like CCR
Is it really 50 years since I first heard this great song
What people often forget is that the co-founder of The Hollies, Graham Nash, later left to join Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. he has been inducted twice into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of both groups.
I though it it c c r who sing this song at first its a great song
Always on my playlist and yup, funky alright....
The other cool Hollies song was 'Dear Eloise' - give it a whirl.
You’re a good soul, man. I can tell. I enjoyed this.
The JJ Cale shuffle
'Steamy Windows' really kicks it... but there is a diff'rence... but, close enuff to see where you're comin' from.
Its basically ccr's formula. I cant help but like it lol
So much so that The Hollies were sued by CCR. I believe CCR got 50% of the royalties.
OOH that Rick Bass love it
This is the perfect car driving out in the country getting hig....ooops, I mean drinking Lemonade and getting high with euphoria listening to this song.
With friends, of course, as designated drivers. Of course.
The beat is sbsolutely addictive...
Diamonds in your ears, right...?
You have to get the extended version. It still stands the test of time.
great track from my childhood
You may be too young to remember. “Steamy Windows” was written by Tony Joe White, a Louisiana songwriter. The song was originally recorded by White in 1988, (who also wrote Rainy Night in Georgia. White did not think much of the song, until Brooks Benton recorded it for a monster hit.) Tall, Cool woman was released as a single in 1972. A roadie always played a certain riff for his live stage sound checks. That single guitar riff is the opening you hear. Someone in the group liked the riff and they wrote a whole song around it. This song has more good hooks in it than nearly any other song out there. Economy of lyrics leads to fewer details, adding mystery to a listener's interpretation. Here is my interpretation, but other readers could interpret things quite differently from me, or from each other. That shows the true genius in the lyrics. An FBI man, or feeb, could not go into an underworld club like that even in plainclothes. I think the man in the song was a down on his luck guy who the FBI leaned on (blackmailed under likely false conditioned, or conned) to turn informant. Anyone going into a club like that who does not look right might never get out alive. The plant had to look right. Do you believe "I was just about to call the DA man?" I don't. Someone else did, and we have no clue who. Maybe he already knew the lady, too. Maybe the feebs knew of their attraction and threatened to lock her up, too. She was one hot lady, for sure.
For an even hotter song, listen to the Hollies Stop!Stop!Stop!
tony from " poke salad annie"??
Steamy Windows from Tina Turner was 1989. This song was from the 60s
Exactly.....
1972.
April 1972.
Every time I hear long cool woman in a black dress, a video automatically plays in my head trying to imagine that woman in the black dress, I am sure something like this actually happens in the real world, no doubt

I found your chanell and happy I did
you do good reviewing and reacting thanks
groovy
💯 on the Tina turner song. They were heavily influenced by the Hollies
I agree with the Tina Turner Steamy Windows too 😉😊.
You are my (musical) brother Harri.
Harri Ain't Heavy.. He's Your Brother 😉
@@wayne_twentyfive not only mine, he is everyone's brother.
I see what you did there Wayne 😅
Olivera!!! 🖤✌🏾
@@HarriBestReactions an association with their other song, of course.
Nobody sings this good or looks this good
Makes u want to play air guitar 🎸
Saturday night I was down town looking for the FBI.
The Hollies,only the Beatles had more top 10 hits in the UK.
Manchester band paying homage to Chuck Berry.
Oasis can only dream of being top Manchester band up against these boys.
10CC also ahead of the mouthy gallaghers.
Ever heard King Stitt the Ugly One?
It was influenced by Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Born On The Bayou and Run Though The Jungle. The Hollies are another UK National treasure!
Creedence never came up with a song as sexy and awesome as The Hollies' "Long Cool Woman (in a black dress)".
@@moorlock2003 everything Fogerty wrote was pretty much down and negative,
2:25 fair but this was heavily influenced by Fogertys singing/song from Creedence Clearwater ..so much so that they filed a lawsuit and won lol

Try the extended version,it’s mind blowing.😉
Still the greatest stripper song of all time
I love the Hollies, but I don't know how they got away with this blatant rip-off of Green River by CCR - it's even in the same key!
Sounds nothing like it lol
This song is too short.
This is a dreadful rip off! The Hollies based " Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress " off the basic structure of "Green River"; The similarities between the two songs prompted John Fogerty to file suit against the band, alleging plagiarism. The case was settled out of court with Fogerty receiving half of the revenue from the song.
The lawsuit thing is actually a much perpetuated urban myth. There was no lawsuit, no settlement,as it never made it to court.
@@chrissyholliex3686 Now, how would you know that? If, for example, it was settled out of court, it would be a very, very private affair.
@@musik102 Because both Allan Clarke said so in an interview,and John Fogerty said so in print.😊
@@chrissyholliex3686 Can you point me in the direction of the Clarke and Fogerty comments?
@@musik102 Interview with Allan was on radio a couple of years ago. Fogerty's was in a book. I'll try to find it again. A guy posted it as a comment on a comment on another CZcams video of Long Cool Woman. It may take me a while.. 🎶😊
there is a vid of them playing live on tv, and right before he sang my Charlie said I hope that you're able boy, cause I'm tellin ya she knows where it's at, all the members looked at each other like here goes, hope this doesn't get us banned. Who or what is Charlie???? I figured it out when I saw their reactions, right before he sang that verse. I bet I am the only person who knows who, or what Charlie is. P.s. Love your reactions. You rock, and God bless you always.
Impossible. Maybe Tina stole it 18 years later .
