"Bus Stop" #5 9/17/1966

The breakthrough record in America for the Hollies, their first Top 5 effort. Graham Gouldman (later of 10cc) wrote it while actually riding on a bus in his and the Hollies' hometown of Manchester in the UK. He said later that some of his songs took a lot of work, but this one just flowed right out. To me it's a tad reminiscent of the Beatles and "Things We Said Today" but still a definite personal favorite.
