The Hollies performing “Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress“, released originally in 1972. It reached #1 in US Cash Box Top 100, #1 in Canada Top Singles, and #1 in South Africa, as well as #2 in US Billboard Hot 100. “Long Cool Woman“ is unique among the Hollies' songs in that it features lead guitar and lead vocal work by Allan Clarke and has no three-part vocal harmonies. The song was produced by the group as their producer, Ron Richards, was ill on the day of recording. The song was initially written in the country/rockabilly style of Jerry Reed but was adapted to the swamp rock style of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Allan Clarke imitated John Fogerty's vocal style, which was based on the Creedence song “Green River.“ However, Fogerty filed a lawsuit against the Hollies for plagiarism, and the lawsuit was settled out of court with Fogerty receiving half of the proceeds for the song. The Hollies are an English rock band formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, known for their catchy pop-rock tunes and three-part vocal harmonies. Stereo version mixed and mastered in collaboration with @radiowollaton8521.
