Look Through Any Window
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Look Through Any Window" is a song by British Beat group the Hollies. It was the first American Top-40 hit for them, peaking at #32 in January 1966. It reached #4 in their homeland. Written by professional songwriter Graham Gouldman and Charles Silverman, its distinctive 12-string riff, along with soaring harmonies and Bobby Elliott's explosive drumming, make it one of the Hollies' and the British Invasion's finest moments. They also recorded a version in French (titled "Regardez Par Des Fenetres") that wasn't officially released at the time and was included on the 1988 compilation Rarities.
While released only as a single in the UK, it was included in the USA version of their 1965 album Hollies titled Hear! Here! by their US label, Imperial Records.
The b-side "So Lonely", later included on Hollies and Hear! Here!, was recorded by the Everly Brothers and released in July 1966 on their Two Yanks in England album.
A version was later recorded by American group Gary Lewis & the Playboys for their 1966 album Hits Again!
