1965 single by the Hollies
"Look Through Any Window" is a song by the British beat group the Hollies.[5] It was their follow-up single to their first UK chart-topper, "I`m Alive", and reached No.4 in the UK Singles Chart at the beginning of October 1965.[6][7]
Leer más"Look Through Any Window" was The Hollies` first American Billboard Top 40 hit, peaking at No.32 on 22 January 1966 ("Just One Look" in 1964 had been the band`s first American chart hit). It made No.3 in Canada in the RPM Magazine charts, as well as in South Africa.[8][9] Written by songwriters Graham Gouldman and Charles Silverman, it features a distinctive 12-string guitar riff, soaring harmonies and Bobby Elliott’s explosive drumming. They also recorded a version in French (titled "Regardez par des fenêtres") that was not officially released at the time but was included on the 1988 compilation Rarities.
Cash Box described it as a "medium-paced laconic teen-slanted ditty with a contagious repeating rhythmic riff."[10]
First released as a single in the UK, it was included in the US version of the band`s 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 also recorded by the Everly Brothers and released in July 1966 on their Two Yanks in England album.
Cover versions
- The American group Gary Lewis & the Playboys recorded the song for their 1966 album Hits Again!.[11]
- The Yugoslav rock band Elipse recorded a Serbo-Croatian version entitled "Pogledaj kroz prozor" in 1966.[12]
- The Brazilian band Renato e Seus Blue Caps recorded a version entitled “Pra Você N? pounds o Sou Ninguém”, in 1966, for their album Um Embalo Com Renato e Seus Blue Caps, singing in Portuguese.
