The Hollies are a British rock and roll band formed in 1962. The Hollies incorporated many obscure American R&B classics in their early repertoire, similar to many beat groups of the early 1960s; however, they were writing new songs as well as commissioning other songs from professional songwriters. They scored their first major British hit in the end of 1963 with a cover of Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs' "Stay" which hit #8 in the UK charts. They quickly followed with Doris Troy's "Just One Look." The band continues to tour actively, and in 2006 released their first album of new material since 1983.
