Like most British beat groups, Manchester's Hollies started out recording covers of hits like Doris Troy's Just One Look. By the mid-eighties however, the Hollies soaring three part haromnies on Stop! Stop! Stop! On a Carousel and Carrie-Anne helped create one of the most distinctive vocal sounds in pop music.

By 1967, New York's Greenwich Village, long a folkie haven, had succumbed to the burgeoning hippie culture as head shops and rock clubs such as the Nite Owl and Cafe Wha prospered. The most successful alumni of the Village scene were the lovin' Spoonful, who achieved their seventh consecutive top -10 hit with John Sebastian's tribute to Music City, U.S.A. Nashville Cats.

Don Kirshner had Dave Jones record Neil Diamond's A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You without the rest of the band even being present.
This is when the Monkees ousted him and the Monkees became their own chimps.
