Jennifer Eccles

In 1967, The Hollies had a hit with "Carrie Anne," where they recall looking for love on the schoolyard. A year later, they released "Jennifer Eccles," another breezy tune about an innocent childhood romance. The name was constructed from the first name of lead singer Allan Clarke's wife (Jennifer Bowstead) and the maiden name of guitarist Graham Nash's wife (Rose Eccles).

Several months after this became a hit, Graham Nash of the Hollies contributed some backing vocals to The Scaffold's UK chart-topper "Lily The Pink." One of the lines, "Jennifer Eccles had terrible freckles," alludes to this song.

This is one of the last Hollies hits with Graham Nash, who left before they recorded their next album, a set of Bob Dylan covers called Hollies Sing Dylan. He picked up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form Crosby, Stills & Nash. "Me, Graham and our wives were at his flat in Hampstead," Allan Clarke recalled to Mojo magazine. "We said, 'Let's write a silly song, and we wrote Jennifer Eccles. Graham said, 'I don't want to do these sorts of songs anymore.'"
