The Hollies: 1980 - 2000

In 1980 the Hollies returned to the UK charts with the single "Soldier's Song" which was a minor hit in 1980 reaching number 58 in the UK. They also released an album of Buddy Holly covers aptly named "Buddy Holly". In Summer 1981 Calvert and Sylvester left. The Hollies issued their last Polydor single "Take My Love and Run" in November 1981 but this failed to chart. Just before that in August 1981 they released "Holliedaze" on EMI, a medley edited together by Tony Hicks from their hit records, which returned them to the UK Top 30. At the request of the BBC, Nash and Haydock briefly rejoined to promote the record on Top of the Pops. They continued to record and tour throughout the mid-1980s. Graham Nash joined them for the recording of an Alan Tarney song "Somethin' Ain't Right" on 10 September 1981 which led to a proper reunion album "What Goes Around..." issued on WEA Records in July 1983. The Hollies last hit the US Top 40 with a remake of The Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love", which reached No. 29 in 1983, taken from the album What Goes Around. A live album featuring the Clarke-Hicks-Elliott-Nash re-grouping, Reunion, was recorded at Kings Head Park, Ohio, during a USA tour that followed that same year, finally being issued first in 1997 as "Archive Alive"
