The Hollies – Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress (1972)
Directed by: The Hollies Ron Richards
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, a hit by The Hollies released on April 17, 1972, stands out as their highest-charting single in the U.S. This swamp rock song, distinct from The Hollies’ usual harmonies, was produced by the group itself due to the absence of their regular producer, Ron Richards. Its lyrics narrate a film noir-style story, featuring an FBI agent and a striking woman in a black dress. The track’s success was bolstered by its number 2 peak on the Billboard Hot 100.
