Incidentally, you want to learn to read post properly before trying to be a clever ****. I,said that rather surprisingly it wasn't a hit in the 1960s considering it was always on wherever you went. So quoting its chart position of a decade later is hardly relevant.
You should've got up and walked back into the crematorium, told the vicar you were a Hollies fan & he'd have played: Would have been at the wake in spirit at least...
Since people are getting uppity about whether something was a b-side or not (Green Onions was both A and B), I think I'll just post some album tracks instead...
It was obvious that I was referring to the 1960s if you read the following sentences. Read between the lines.
No arguments whether that was a B side or not. Did you see the programme about the Hollies last night? Interesting stuff. Saw them in 1965, one of the best live bands as far as sounding like their records I went to.
Thanks CC. Yep, SKY channels I can't get. The VPN I use only gets me live BBC, ITV, Ch4, Ch5 live and their archived iPlayer stuff from the UK (which I watch all the time) - ironically the only NA TV I watch are the cable channels that broadcast every PL match live, plus other football (Spain, Italy, Germany etc). What was the title of the programme - it'll show up on youtube eventually no doubt ! Maybe I'll set myself up on KODI too. Cheers mate. PS. Saw the Hollies myself in '69 or '70 @ Leeds University Union. Marvellous live as you say.
Time is Tight was the final tune they played at Bailey's nightclub as a sign to say "time to go home".
Perfection was Otis Redding or Sam and Dave live backed by Booker T and the MGs withnThe Memphis Horns. There have been more flamboyant drummers but Al Jackson was the best drummer for time keeping time there was. Amazing seeing the size of Steve Cropper nowadays compared to then. Interesting bloke to listen to. He wrote and played some of the most memorable riffs and intros there was as well as being involved in writing some of the soul classics. Incidentally, he and Wilson Pickett wrote In The Midnight Hour in the same hotel where Martin Luther King was later assassinated.(He said when he was stuck for an intro to Knock On Wood he merely reversed the notes of the intro to Midnignt Hour). The only place where blacks and whites could meet in Memphis in those apartheid days. It was a brave and unusual for whites and blacks to work together then and Stax was the leader. Two-tone way before it's time.
Did you catch this when it was on TV. Fair amount about Rick Hall and interviews with him.He had a colourful life.Amazing to think that the Muscle Shoals House Band which was so funky was white. Same as most of the Stax musicians on so many records. When youread about Rick Hall it is fascinating to see the interaction between him, Jerry Wexler at Atlantic, Stax and others.
Always thought Boz Scaggs wasn't White until bought Silk Degrees - one of the most soulful albums ever.
