Quote for the Day:
"When I came to the company, I had probably the original five-note range...everyone else had 105 notes.
So when the producers would go to do your song, they would find your key, and then they would cut it two keys above that.
And when Levi did it, and Marvin did it, they reached for those notes, and it sounded great.
And when I reached for those notes, I sounded like a chicken somebody was trying to strangle!"

Quote for the Day:
"At the end of our set, this guy came up to us and said he was called Ron Richards and was from EMI at Abbey Road, and would The Hollies like to come to London and make a demo.
We were like "of course!". We went down, recorded the song, and it got in the charts, and we never looked back.
With the success of The Beatles and the money EMI were making, the first thing they thought was "they can't be the only ones - there must be some more people in the North, so let's go and chase them down", and that was what Ron was doing at The Cavern that day. What great timing!"
