1

"I'm Alive" is a 1965 number-one UK hit single by the Hollies, written for them by American songwriter Clint Ballard Jr. Although they originally passed the song over to another Manchester band, the Toggery Five, they changed their minds and recorded it, achieving their first No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart. It spent three weeks at number one in the UK and was also a No. 1 hit in Ireland. The song was released as a single in the US, entering the Cash Box singles chart on July 17, 1965, and peaking at No. 84 week of August 14, 1965, and it also appears on the US version of the 1965 Hollies album, ''Hear! Here!''. Cash Box described it as "a low-key, rhythmic romancer about a lad who's on cloud [nine] since he met the girl of his dreams."
