Because I could never figure them out.What can I say people,A "Hollies" Classic! ---She had it allll,Had it all-She had it all'-Don't you know... I have a "Songs of the 70s" CD that has this song just before "Don't Fear the Reaper." Perhaps just a coincidence, but both have opening guitar riffs that are pretty similar. This song is now used by BP to help sell gasoline in a TV spot showing two cars, one that uses another brand and the green SUV that goes farther on its tank. After careful consideration I still do not quite get the connection between the love-struck FBI-man and gasoline.
Some of the lyrics are about being born. This will always be for me one of those songs that when I hear it on the radio, I listen all the way to the end. Different than the other hits of the Hollies, there is a great beat on it. I would like to hear it more on the radio. If you listen to this nd "Green River" by Credence back-to-back, they sound a lot alike.
The Hollies - Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress LP (VG+/VG+) '
This song is about an FBI agent doing a sting and he spared the long cool woman becouse he wanted her... Steve if you ever see him tell him thanks for all the music and for this song. Heard he no longer sings because of voice problems. Hi Jennifur, I was fortunate enough to meet Allan several times in the mid to late nineties, I worked in music rights management at that time and we became friendly. He was still touring with the Hollies at that time but it was clear that his singing voice was past its best.

Track listing
I can’t think of any of his recent movies that doesn’t have a barefoot woman somewhere. Please allow additional time if international delivery is subject to customs processing. Dan Tyminski, the singer on Avicii's "Hey Brother" is the same guy who sang lead vocal on "A Man Of Constant Sorrow" in the movie O’ Brother, Where Art Thou. Kacey Musgraves originally offered "Follow Your Arrow" to her friend Katy Perry. However, Perry thought Musgraves should record the song herself as it seemed, "like something that you would totally say." "Closing Time" by Semisonic was written by the lead singer when his wife was pregnant.
The radio station where I live did that once. The only thing that separated the songs was a short comercial break. This was one of the cuts that the days of motor-mouthed DJs talking over the first 20 seconds of the song drove me straight up a wall because they drowned out that beautiful opening.
Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
A cappella group Rockapella released a version on their 1995 album Primer. Their version often accompanied the map round on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was the first song played by the band Phish.
Besides the obvious reference to her decolletage, 45's are a pretty powerful handgun (and then the tie-in to the whole shoot-em-up thing). A double-entendre and a pun in the same line ... Now if I can just figure out the lyrics to "Brass In Pocket" by the Pretenders....
Traditionally, one shakes hands with the right. Love rock and roll when it tells stories, but would like to know if anyone knows what the story is. "Romany", the superb LP with Rickfors, sold well over time and remained in print into the '80s. In concert, rhythm guitarist Terry Sylvester did a fine job singing " Long Cool Woman". The Distant Light album was out for a year before this song was released as a single. Before the single was released, lead singer Allan Clarke left the group, replaced by Swedish singer Michael Rickfors .
And in comes this fine, 5' 9" bombshell ... also think of Bogie and Bacall in "To Have And Have Not" ... This is an awesome like a possum song; one of my favorites of all time. And it does sound very much like Creedence Clearwater Revival, which is one of my favorite bands, so it's no wonder I like this song so much.
