THE HOLLIES- "I CAN'T LET GO" (LYRICS)

"I Can't Let Go" was written by Chip Taylor and Al Gorgoni. Chip Taylor, whose real name is James Voight, is actor Jon Voight's brother, went on to write "Wild Thing" for The Troggs. "I Can't Let Go" is The Hollies' first 1966 single, and their last with original bassist Eric Haydock. It peaked at number two in the UK and number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. It is ranked as the 37th biggest British hit of 1966. The Hollies' version was praised by Paul McCartney, who thought Graham Nash's soaring tenor in the chorus was a trumpet. Billboard described the song as a "pulsating number with driving dance beat." After "I Can't Let Go" was recorded Haydock was replaced by Bernie Calvert, who played on the band's next single ("Bus Stop")." The Hollies debuted at No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with their single, "I Can't Let Go." This was the 3rd chart entry on the Hot 100 for the British pop-rock band and following just one Top 40, this single just missed by peaking at No. 42 on May 7, 1966. The Al Gorgoni/Chip Taylor song charted just one additional time when Linda Ronstadt took her cover version to No. 31 in 1980. The Hollies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
