The Hollies: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction (parts 1 and 2 of 4)

Now to turn my attention to The Hollies. 

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. I recall the time my older brother brought home two new record albums: Raspberries Best and The Hollies' Greatest Hits (or was that The Greatest of the Guess Who?). Anyway... 

After those purchases, I became familiar with more than these groups' hits that were on the radio. The Hollies' induction is well deserved.

Big Star: ST 100/6; I'm In Love With a Girl

Here are the final cuts of each of their first two albums: 



They are both short songs, so I'm putting both. 



This film clip is from Charlie Chaplin's, "City Lights." 

Big Star: Watch the Sunrise

This exhilarating song is hidden towards the end of their first album, #1 Record: 

Big Star: Try Again

This understated song reminds me of others that came subsequently but I'm not sure which ones!

Bing Crosby and David Bowie: Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy

Happy Holidays, everyone! 



Their voices blend surprisingly well together. 

Big Star: Give Me Another Chance

A song that deserves a much wider audience: 



Love the harmonies in the chorus.
