The Hollies nominated for induction into the RockNroll Hall Of Fame 2010







Hi there,



Just nearly 2 weeks ago 12 artists were nominated for an induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame for next year on March 15th and one of them are the British 60's rock group the Hollies. the Hollies who were formed in Manchester,England in December 1962 had an lot of hit records in the 60's & 70's including Just one Look, Look through Any WIndow, I'm Alive, Bus Stop, On A Crousel, Jennifer Eccles, Sorry Suzanne, He Ain't heavy He's My Brother,

Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress, the AirThat I breathe and many others which they are classics today and are still touring and recording in 2009 with 2 of the 60's members lead guitarist Tony Hicks who joined the group in early 1963 and drummer bobby Elliott who joined them in mid-1963 and also released an new album ealry this year with Then Now And Always. The group were an launching pad for Graham Nash who was with the group from december 1962 until he left in December 1968 and went to greater success with Crosby Stills Nash and Young who are still touring and recording today. the group has gone through many line-up changes besides from Graham nash including original lead singer Allan Clarke(1962-71,73-77,78-2000), Carl Wayne(ex member of the Move) from 2000-04 when he died, Terry Sylvester(ex Escorts and swinging Blue Jeans) 1969-81, Bernie Calvert(1966-81), Eric Haydock(1962-66) on bass who played 6 string bass and even 12 string bass which he played it on It's in her kiss on the 1964 album In The Hollies Style and many others and the current line of the Hollies are besides ferom tony and bobby, Ray Stiles on bass , Ian Parker on keyboards, pete Howarth on lead vocals and Steve Lauri on Guitar and vocals. as a Hollies fan as well as a fan of the 60's music , I am very glad and thrilled to see that they are nominated and i hope they get inducted in the Hall Of Fame as they have made an huge impact on the british 60's rocknroll music scene as well as international and they had brilliant musicians and great harmonies. If they get inducted the line-up that should be there would be the line up Of Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Eric Haydock, Bobby Elliott, Bernie Calvert and Terry Sylvester because that's the line up had the hits

let's Hope the Hollies get inducted

Keep On ROcking
