Albert, you gave the world the greatest song ever, while The Hollies made it divine. Thank you.

[@edwardblake5916]

There's a lot of great versions of this song, unusual for covers. That's a testament to the song and authors. Albert seems to have a clarity the others don't. Just beautiful.

[@amasulem]

He wrote it.

Albert Hammond is one of the most talented people we've ever had in music.

One of the best songs ever written. Just got done listening to Olivia Newton John's angelic version and had to find Albert doing his own

[@paulefren4102]

Albert wrote the song :)

[@edwardblake5916]

Olivia could sing anything. She must have loved this song. As you say, one of the best.

[@Monica-io5ru]

Beautiful indeed! I remember I heard this song sung in Spanish by Albert, I have never stopped loving this song. Thank you Albert Hammond! 🙏✨💜

"The Air That I Breathe" is a ballad written by Albert Hammond & Mike Hazlewood in 1972. 1) 1972 • It is initially recorded by Albert Hammond and featured on his album "It Never Rains In Southern California", released on 1972-08-16. 2) 1973 • Philip Everly (from Everly Brothers) sings it on his album "Star Spangled Springer", released on 1973-01-31. 3) 1974 • The Hollies cover, RECORDED AFTER HEARING Phil Everly's version, appears on their 14th UK studio album "Hollies" released in 1974. 4) 1974 • The same year, James Last records an instrumental/orchestral version on his 1974 album "Violins In Love". 5) 1975 • Olivia Newton-John performs it on her 1975 album "Have You Never Been Mellow". 6) 1975 • A finnish version "Tahdo en kuin hengittää vain" (adaptation written by Pertti Reponen) is released by Petri Pettersson. 7) 1976 • Another curiosity, "Comme Si" is a french cover (lyrics adapted by Bernard Droguet) sung by duo Shuky & Aviva. 8) 1992 • The 1992 Radiohead song "Creep" uses a similar chord progression and shares some melodic content with the 1972 version of "The Air That I Breathe". Hammond & Hazlewood are given co-writing credits as well as a portion of the royalties. 9) 2017 • "Get Free" is a song by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey from her 5th studio album, Lust for Life (2017). Nothing is clear concerning a link with 1992 "Creep" and/or 1972 "The Air That I Breathe"... 🤔 Numerous others artists have covered this song through years. Some people even suggest the song itself is adapted/inspired from older songs making it appearing in the 1930's in the first place ?!... Who knows... All videos are on KZbin but I can't put the links here. 🤬 I had to remove them all... Otherwise my comment is deleted immediately. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I watched an interview of Albert Hammond wherein he was told to sign that he CO WROTE creep..he says he is always dumbfounded iF he is asked for permission iF that song creep to be usad

[@peted7985]

@@normatible9795 there's a small section of Creep (middle interlude) that sounds like The air ... not enough to warrant a credit and i'm the biggest Albert Hammond fan around! i just checked the Elvis and Christophe songs and can't hear the similarity either . there is a Hammond song that unwittingly sounds like a 60s song but it's definitely not plagiarism, just a coincidence

[@normatible9795]

Pete D I a.m also a big fan of Albert hammond. You think that little verse or melody somewhere in the song creep does not merit credit to hammond, he never asked for credit..it was Radiohead who credited him

[@peted7985]

that's true . someone pointed it out to him . i don't think he should get a writer credit , just acknowledgement for that little similarity in the middle . people say the whole chord progression was the same - i still don't hear that . i think Creep's a great song by the way .

It's funny how everyone comments about the Radiohead 'Creep' connection, but not a single acknowledgement on the fact that this song itself was inspired/influenced by The Beatles 'Carry that weight'.

coz it wasn't - everything ain't about the beatles, honey
