The Hollies: No Room For Solo Stars
Harold Bronson, Rolling Stone, 18 January 1973
SANTA MONICA, Calif. The Hollies, one of the original British invaders of the 1960s, are at yet another crossroads. Allan Clarke one of the group's co-founders, lead vocalist on all the hits and collaborating composer on Long, Cool Woman, On a Carousel, Stop, Stop, Stop and others has left the group on the verge of what might have become their greatest American success. Depending on who is explaining, he was either kicked out or imagines he was.
