"Jennifer Eccles" is a 1968 single by The Hollies. It was released with the B-side "Open Up Your Eyes" on the Parlophone label, Catalogue number R5680. The track reached #7 on the UK singles chart in March 1968. It was released in the US with a different B-side, "Try It", and reached #40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by members of the band with input from their wives and the title is a combination of their names (Allan Clarke's wife Jennifer née Bowstead and Graham Nash's wife Rose née Eccles). After the disappointing chart performance of the psychedelic-leaning "King Midas in Reverse", this song was a return to the popular style that had been commercially successful for the group. Cash Box praised the song's "simplicity and straightforward happiness." The name Jennifer Eccles also features in the song "Lily the Pink" by The Scaffold; the reference is an in-joke, as Graham Nash, who left the Hollies in December 1968, sang backing vocals on this recording; Nash had been married to Rose Eccles from 1964 until 1966.

Jennifer Eccles är en poplåt lanserad av The Hollies 1968. Låten skrevs av Allan Clarke och Graham Nash och låttiteln bestod av förnamnet på Clarks fru och efternamnet på Nashs fru. Efter att The Hollies under det kreativa musikklimat som rådde 1967 breddat sin ljudbild och lanserat den textmässigt seriösa singeln "King Midas in Reverse" återvände gruppen med denna singel till sitt tidigare mer trallvänliga sound då deras allvarliga sida visat sig inte helt gå hem hos publiken. Låtens "gimmick" är en busvissling. "Jennifer Eccles" blev en hitsingel i flera europeiska länder, men i USA snuddade den bara vid topp 40-placering på singellistan. Låten nämns i The Scaffolds skämtlåt "Lily the Pink" från 1969. (sv)
