This was written by Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, and Roger Greenaway. 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. After "Long Cool Woman" became a hit in the US, Clarke rethought his solo career and came back.
This is the only Hollies single without any backing vocals. The reason why Clarke is the only singer on this record is that he didn't intended the song to be released on a Hollies album, but as a record of his own. When the band learned that he intended to do a solo recording, Clarke was issued an ultimatum - he could either remain with The Hollies or pursue a solo career, but not both. Clarke told Rolling Stone in 1973: "I think with me the band feared that if I got a hit I'd leave. How can you stop destiny? Now, if they originally agreed, I might not even have left. 'Long Cool Woman' would have been released a year earlier, and we'd have done a few tours of the States and maybe would have been really big."
From an interview with Roger Cook:
?: Was there ever a bigger hit in history where people don't understand the words?
[Yes, as a matter of fact, how about "Louie, Louie"?]
RC: That is wild, isn't it? Allan loved all that slapback echo on his voice.
?: This is the Hollies.
RC: Yeah. And that's the reason you can hardly understand the words. And, of course, the words are a kind of a little English-y. We wrote it in England about the bootlegging days in the '30s in America. … We’d just gone out and had a skinful ourselves, you know? We came back to the office and thought it was fun to write a song about — What did they call it when they banned drinking?
?: Prohibition.
RC: Prohibition! So, we wrote a song about Prohibition and all the bad people surrounding it. The FBI raiding and this (woman) singing at the bar. (The narrator) doesn't want her to get in trouble. So he kind of saves her.
One of my favorite stories was when they were on tour and Charlie saw Mick giving an interview on tv, in which Mick called Charlie …“my drummer”. Charlie went down to Micks room and knocked on the door. When Mick answered Charlie punched him square in the nose and said “you’re MY singer”, turned around and went back to his room.
Glad you posted this. I wrote a history snippet about Jacks version a couple of years ago:
Originally "Le Moribond" ("The Dying Man"), this was written and performed in French by the Belgian poet-composer Jacques Brel in 1961. The American poet Rod McKuen translated the lyrics to English, and in 1964 [The Kingston Trio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLfRtK0oxYE) released the first English-language version of the song. This is the version Terry Jacks heard, which became the basis for his rendition. Rod McKuen, who translated the lyrics, is the credited writer on the song along with Jacques Brel. Terry Jacks made some significant musical changes and wrote an entirely different last verse, but didn't get a songwriter credit, since he never claimed one. Jacks says he didn't think of it at the time, and never anticipated the song becoming a royalty-generating hit.
In a Songfacts interview with Terry Jacks, he said that after his version was released, he had dinner in Brussels with Jacques Brel, who told him about writing the song. "It was about an old man who was dying of a broken heart because his best friend was screwing his wife," Jacks said. "He wrote this in a whorehouse in Tangiers, and the words were quite different. The song originally he used to do on stage and it was in a march form, like, 'Bom ba DUM, bom ba DUM.' Quite a different thing. This old man was dying of a broken heart and he was saying goodbye to his priest and his best friend and his wife, who cheated on him. Her name was Francoise, and it went, 'Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life. You cheated lots of times but then I forgave you in the end, though your lover was my friend.'"
The original version by Jacques Brel is rather macabre, but Jacks had an earnest inspiration for his reworking of the song: his good friend developed leukemia, and was given just six months to live. "He was gone in four months," Jacks told us. "He was a very good friend of mine, one of my best friends, and he said I was the first one that he told. I remembered this song of an old man dying of a broken heart, and I liked some of the melody and there was something there. I rewrote the song about him."
Before releasing this song, Terry Jacks had considerable success in his native Canada as half of the duo The Poppy Family with his wife, Susan. He was friends with The Beach Boys, who asked him to produce a song for them - something Jacks was honored to do. Terry played them his arrangement of "Seasons in the Sun" and suggested they record it, since he thought it would sound great with their harmonies and with Carl Wilson singing lead.
Terry flew to Brian Wilson's house and they began working on the song. Wilson had always been their producer, and could spend months working on a song if he wanted to perfect it. These were Terry's sessions, but Brian tried to take over.
"The thing never got finished," Jacks said in our interview. "Brian wanted to get hold of the tape and add some things, and the engineer would have to take the tape home at night so that Brian wouldn't get hold of it. This went on and on, and I was almost having a nervous breakdown because I would put so much energy into this thing and the stress was really getting me. So I said, 'I'm not going to be able to finish this. I can't get you guys all in here together.' So it never got completed."
The sessions weren't a complete wash for Jacks, however. He worked with Al Jardine on the backing vocals and came up with an arrangement he would use when he recorded the song himself.
Shortly before Terry's recording came out, Jacques Brel retired, at the peak of his popularity. Fans around the world were stunned, but the composer would give no reason. Finally, the truth was revealed: after a quiet, six-year battle against cancer, Brel succumbed to the disease and died on October 9, 1978.
With the money he made from this song, Jacks purchased a boat, which he christened "Seasons in the Sun." He began sailing up and down the west coast of Alaska and Canada, and had some revelations along the way. "I started to realize that this wasn't made by a blob," he told us. "This was made by God."
Terry became a Christian and began a quest to protect nature. He gave up music and became an environmental activist, fighting the Canadian paper mills, which he accused of dumping toxins and destroying forests.
Yes, it has. Musicians come and go but someone new eventually comes along for a spell to spread their joy. Nothing beats sharing your music with others.
What a great clip. Blues at it's finest and he stands up with the masters SRV, BB, yes even Clapton. His emotive connection comes through and is required for authentic Blues. Many play the Blues but you can tell when it comes from passion.
Hendrix was a great entertainer and innovator but his playing was nothing special. I miss TB's list but can understand knowing how involved he is is so many topics.
While he's technically proficient, it seems to me he doesn't really connect to what he's playing. Same as Yngwie, both outstanding technical skills but just seems to be missing the emotive connection. Just strikes me that way.
In the fog of all the site drama I think the importance of the FNGT may have been overlooked. It is the most consistent, longest running thread from Old Voat. We have been online *every* Friday night for almost 4 years now and have no plans of stopping. Although the demise of old Voat caused a lot of confusion to many old goats, many have even disappeared completely, we have been here every week, always promoting and encouraging people to share of themselves no matter their skill level or instrument. Outside of the current events and socio-political happenings, we've never banned anyone or prevented them from posting. Most participants seem to recognize its been a refuge, only concerned with the desire to make music.
Music is of course a very personal and intimate part of our lives and we have tried to give a place for people to come together and share the joy of expression. We have certainly seen a decrease in participation since the abrupt ending of Voat but have ensured it continued, always allowing everyone an opportunity to come together and listen to each others talents and dedication. I would hope some of the old goats, and many new ones, could look past the host we've had to settle on and join us for this celebration. We have always strived to be an island in the midst of the current state of the world and just have a place to enjoy each others company for a few hours each week. I do hope some will put aside their site concerns and join us for this celebration.
Yeah, it got a lot of airplay at the time. Then the Friends Of Distinction released their version with lyrics, which was still catchy but I preferred this original better.
Thanks, glad you liked it. It was a favorite of mine when it came out. Got lots of airplay. One of my other favorites was Last Kiss (https://hooktube.com/watch?v=bh4se9YMV3A), although Pearl Jam's version wasn't near the impact of the original.
P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who at the time were just starting the band The Grass Roots, wrote this song. Secret Agent was a US adaptation of a hit show in England called Dangerman, and CBS needed a 15-second theme to replace the British version. Sloan wrote the guitar lick and the first few lines of the song, with Barri contributing to the chorus. This fragment, originally called "High Wire", was recorded as a demo by Sloan and Barri, submitted to CBS, and, to Sloan's surprise, picked as the show theme, which led to Sloan and Barri writing a [full-length version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC4O1ncLjMw) of the song. The original demo of the song used the "Danger Man" title, as shown by the surviving demo of the song, which Sloan sang. When the show's title was changed, the lyrics were also changed. Ultimately, "High Wire" was also retained by CBS, as it played over the episode credits following the "Secret Agent" titles.
In 1965, surf rock band The Challengers [recorded a version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTOYLGkpcW8) for their album The Man From U.N.C.L.E. that features vocal harmonies, horns, and vibraphone. This would be the first commercial release of the song, though it was never released as a single and consequently didn't garner much attention.
A "Sky Pilot" is a military chaplain, hence the lyric "He blesses the boys as they stand in line." The song finds the chaplain telling the soldiers that they are fighting for a greater cause, as they are "soldiers of God." At the end of the song, one of the soldiers returns from battle and realizes the words of the chaplain go against what he learned in the Bible: "Thou shalt not kill."
The pipe band was the Royal Scot's Dragoon Guards, a Highland regiment. Lead singer Eric Burdon tape-recorded them at a school and used the pipe music during the middle of the song along the war sound effects. Burdon received an angry letter from the British government for his use of the pipe music. The tune he used was "All The Bluebonnet's Are Over The Border," which is a classic Scottish war piece written as an anti-war epic during the Vietnam War.
I'm always leery of people who can't let a piece of music stand on it's own and have to attack ancillary factors. Yes, there were many artists whose personal lives are atrocious but I prefer to concentrate on the talent and artistic appeal of each song instead of the personalities. What a boring world it would be if everyone enjoyed the same music or art.
"Elenore" was a parody of "Happy Together." It was never intended to be a straight-forward song. It was meant as an anti-love letter to White Whale [Records], who were constantly on our backs to bring them another "Happy Together." So I gave them a very skewed version. Not only with the chords changed, but with all these bizarre words. It was my feeling that they would listen to how strange and stupid the song was and leave us alone. But they didn't get the joke.
