Email belatedly sent, Roy.

This act is a favorite of mine. Then again, I truly have a lot of favorites.

I got it right again. It's hard to mistake those harmonies.

Well this week we had highest number of entries ever mainly due to fact that some new players have joined us via a separate link.

Everyone who entered correctly identified it was The Hollies, only the second time to date that all who entered got the act.

Frankly, i was quite surprised that my answer was correct, cause i've never heard about Hollies having their biggest hit in 80s...
PS: i've asked my Dad (aged 60), and he said he wouldn't want to be back in his 30s.

Sheena, the song that Roy is referring to is 'he ain,t heavy he's my brother' which was reissued here in the UK in 1988 and made no 1. The song had been used in a beer commercial and had made it popular again. Not too sure if it charted again in any other countries though.

Oh, I was wondering too, was a great song, still played over here on the oldies stations. Is a classic.
