I watched a doco the other night on the Hollies. I did not realise they were such a good and influencial group. They were around with the Beatles and often they'd be in one studio while the Beatles were in another.
But basically two school friends Allan Clarke and Graham Nash found they could really harmonise together and were often picked to sing at school. Later lead guitarist Tony Hicks completed the harmonies so familar to the Hollies.
But the Hollies became different sounds and thats why I think they were underestimated. Nash's music style with Crosby and Stills is seen in a couple of albums and especially their song 'King Midas in reverse'.
When Nash left to form Crosby, Stills & Nash everyone thought the band would fold. But they scored an unexpected hit with "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress". Which was completely different to the contempory pop songs and harmonies of the earlier songs like "Bus Stop" and "On a Carousel".
Then came probably their most famous songs "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" which was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell. Which is a story in itself. The song writing partnership only met three times before writing this great song as Russell was dying of lymphoma. The other great song the "The Air That I Breathe" was evidently suggested to them by a secretary at the recording studio. How great is that.
Then theres the connection with Crosby, Stills and Nash. This was a time when groups were harmonising in the early 70's. Groups like the Eagles, America, Fleetwood Mac, Chicargo, Mumma's and Pappas. In fact it was Mumma Cass who introduced Nash to Crosby at her home in Laurel Canyon and the group was birthed. Nash said it only took a couple of harmonies on the verandah with Crosby and Stills for them to look at each other and the rest is history.
