The first recorded song by Graham Nash ‘Little Lover’ was released on the debut album for The Hollies ‘Stay With The Hollies’ exactly 60 years ago to this month.

‘Stay With The Hollies’ was released in January 1964, the same month the second Beatles US release ‘Mett The Beatles’ came out and four months before the first Rolling Stones album ‘The Rolling Stones’ was released in the UK.

Nash was a founding member of The Hollies. They had already achieved three Top 40 hits in the UK with ‘(Ain’t That) Just Like Me’, ‘Searchin’ and ‘Stay’ before the debut album came out in January 1964.

The title ‘Stay With The Hollies’ framed the current hit ‘Stay’ with the band’s name in the title of the album. ‘Stay’ was written by Maurice Williams 10 years earlier in 1953. Williams’ didn’t have a hit with it until 1960. The Hollies had a hit with the song in the UK in 1963 while The Four Seasons had a US hit with the song that same year.

A1 I’m Talking About You
A2 Mr. Moonlight

A7 Stay

B1 Rockin’ Robin
B2 Watcha Gonna Do ‘Bout It
B3 Do You Love Me
B4 It’s Only Make Believe

Graham’s song was ‘Little Lover’, track 6 on side 2. Graham co-wrote the song with The Hollies singer Allan Clarke.

Graham also wrote another song titled ‘Hey Whats Wrong With Me’ that appeared in the Canadian version of the album. The album was retitled ‘Here I Go Again’ for the USA and didn’t not include either song.
