Granted, it was a minor hit in the Summer of 1983, and KYKY played it frequently for at least two months. Still, I thought The Hollies deserved more credit for covering "Stop In The Name Of Love" by The Supremes. By upping the tempo and supporting the vocals with steady piano and percussion, The Hollies made a well-known oldie more contemporary. While this approach undoubtedly doesn't appeal to everyone, it was right for its time--and still warrants a listen today.
