Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was a song by the rock and roll group, The Hollies, and released on February 1, 1972 as a single on the Parlophone Records label.

It was released soon after Allan Clarke, who was featured on lead guitar as well as lead vocal had left the group, from their album "Distant Light" (1970). As the group had just left EMI/Parlophone and signed with Polydor, they did not promote the song. However it became a No. 2 hit in the United States, their greatest ever singles success there. It was inspired and in the style of the rock and roll group Creedence Clearwater Revival, and on being reactivated by EMI in Britain a few months later, it reached No. 32.

The song is notable in that it features Clarke playing rhythm guitar, something he rarely did (Clarke came up with the song's signature guitar rhythm that opens the song).

    Let me seee
    According to your logic, then we all should speak Chinese language, because the world is replete with Chineses.
    Do you know what I feel?
    That you are vain, conceited idiot. Do you believe that you are the bellybutton of the planet? I do not brother, you are wrong.
    Anyway, I enter into the English version of youtube because I am to Keane Fans, and to Hollies fans. If you,- for example-, were a Messi Fans, , or Tevez or Ginnobili fans you would enter into the Spanish version

    It's an easy song to listen to over and over again. Are you familiar with another big hit by the Hollies, "The Air That I Breath"? It's an incredible song. Artist to day cannot come close to these timeless recordings.
