Great Song ✨🎤

One of the freakin' best of that time frame. Phenomenal. Maybe I love it so much cuz...I'm 5'9". And slender...😘 "Just-a 5, 9 beautiful tall... Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman sing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all I saw her heading to the table Like a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A-jumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well the DA was pumping my left hand And a-she was a-holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all Had it all

One of the most under rated bands.

Think after the Beatles and The Stones and probably The Who, The Hollies possibly the best British band of the 1960s along with The Kinks probably the top 5

I love this song I'm 54 and I remember my brother much older than me, he's 71 now, playing this song with his friends, bringing back good old memories of a time that no longer exists, a world used to be beautiful at least for me

Great song

@Sentinel2NO Best ‘woo’ in music history, imo.

Great song? Clearly an understatement! Hollie’s were one of my favorite groups!

Yeah, it's a great song, but no one knows the words to it

@Ginalilvol Absolutely! 🎶🎤

I’m a Dumb A$$ always thought this was CCR

Absolutely

💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

Stunning opening riff, probably one of the best ever.

Great tune

What came first: Fogerty or Hollies?

Agreed! 👍👍

Remember the Titans

The singer is intentionally trying to make you Google the lyrics. Even watching him singing I have trouble understanding him. "Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall." Huh? Wouldn't have deciphered that in 100 years.

☝️🤘🤘

Thank you I needed that today

Definitely a great song.

Wonder how many radio DJs such as me who innocently said, "Long black woman" and felt terrible about it.

♥️🎶🎵

I keep wishing someone with audio-editing skills could lengthen that intro riff. It deserves to be MUCH longer.

Está rolota me vuelve loco desde niño.

Of all time!!

Greatest Beat Ever! Right up there with The Stones’ Brown Sugar and Queen’s We will we will Rock You!

One of the best songs ever !!!!

Great song. The first time I heard it I thought it was CCR.

One of my favorites!

🎶❤️🎶

Buenaaaaaa
