"Carrie-Anne" #9 8/12/1967

Wonder how many girls were named Carrie-Anne after this record? A worldwide Top 10 for the Hollies, and the first rock hit to feature steel drums. The video is from the Smothers Brothers show and features Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks and Graham Nash taking turns on lead vocals. Nash later said the song was about a mad crush he had on Marianne Faithfull, but he changed the name to avoid being too obvious. Definitely a personal favorite.
