Allan Clarke & Francis Haines - He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother (2020 Version) (Official Video)

[@isobar5857]

Allan Clarke, the one and only voice of the Hollies...no one could ever come close to his vocal ability. Followed them since their inception and will take the memories of their myriad unique songs to my grave. Stay safe in these troubling times Allan...you are a living legend.

[@alexandrebegin3951]

Rickfords rendition of this song at the midnight special is really, really good. But I agree for everything else.

[@tessflores785]

A very emotional rendition. Vintage like wine. Thank you, Allan Clarke. You are a legend.

[@rickhaines9739]

Long cool woman was there best, sorry

[@miguelangelgonzales8487]

Tender voice , beautiful song

[@euananelson8082]

Yes, Alan you are a living legend with a God given ability and vocal gift.

[@themidtownhorns5356]

Extremely underrated singer..just great...

[@timothyflyte9443]

This song almost takes on a hymnal feeling with Allans age & vocal. Beautiful rendition.

[@Edpera]

😢😢😢👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌💗💗💗🎵🎵🎵

[@foxxroxx11]

78 years young when singing this classic.. Still amazing.

[@ulrichwesskamp5297]

One of the best songs ever done by one of the best singers ever!!

[@ms.sherlock]

You are so right! One of the very best!

[@amphimrca]

I agree..top

[@lonecrapshooter67]

Awesome. Saturday Night I was downtown.....

[@willie8765]

Agree 100%

[@56dinosaur]

At nearly 80 years old, Allan sounds amazing. A great rendition. I'll be watching this again.

[@dann1966]

Allan...impressive performance...legend for ever...you voice he took tears un my eyes❤

[@dinaholiveira4483]

What a joy to hear Clarke singing again

[@tsb3093]

My thoughts precisely….such a gift

[@dianadabate1547]

So so beautiful. Allan is without doubt the best singer ever and he's still got it.. That performance was beautiful beyond belief

[@elizabethhollatz9573]

Very Beautiful💖

[@sergiohundo7222]

I want to leave a message for Allan Clarke and everyone at The Hollies: Thank you for existing, thank you for being a part of my life, thank you for touching my soul every day, thank you for being who you are, thank you for everything.. .thanks...

[@loricairns3459]

From the heart, for the heart. Mine is now overflowing. Thank you, Allan. Thank you, Francis. You have shone your light into the darkness and made this world a lot brighter. Please don't ever stop. Absolutely brilliant and needed more than you know! xxx ♡

[@lanalamprey2193]

So agree

[@elizabethhollatz9573]

Amen to that!!💖

[@rasraster]

Even without the shirtless vest 😂 this is one of my favorite renditions of this song. The Allan Clarke of today is just as wondrous as the Allan Clarke of the 60s.

[@vickiprouty91]

I could listen to this all day. What a wonderful gift from Allan Clarke and Francis Haines. Thank you both for this beautiful video.

[@Golda1960]

He still got great voice despite the fact that he's 78's. WOW

[@roybeckerman9253]

One of the best and most emotional songs ever recorded, but I miss that distinct Hollies harmony. Even the present Hollies, without Allan, can’t replicate the original....it was a masterpiece.

[@robertdurio8756]

Thank you Allan. You make beauty with your voice.

[@tobylennon8913]

Massive fan of allan. True gentleman. Had the pleasure of seeing allan in concert many times. Guy gave absolutely everything evrytime!!! What a talent. Well never see the likes again!

[@purpleelectric855]

Still got it and then some. Have loved Allan's voice since the early days of the Hollies. For me there is no Hollies without Allan. He is THE voice.

[@samdevries6280]

I really agree with you, his voice is the magic voice/sound of the Hollies !!!

[@Stevieboy130664]

One of the iconic British voices of the sixties and seventies.

[@terrykevincharles57]

Allan Clarke, legend, 🎵👌🏽

[@tessflores785]

I agree. Allan Clarke is the voice of the Hollies. He is a true blooded Hollie. His renditions of this song in his younger days were awesome but this one is more emotional and full of soul. Thank you Allan Clarke. Happy that you doing music again.

[@ashleylynn9333]

One of thee greatest songs in history. It was very popular with the soldiers during the Vietnam War. Also one of the greatest voices ever.

[@fredmonkhorst3096]

Allan Clarke was one of the best singers of his time, he has a very unique voice that not very many people can imitate... in fact nobody. A great singer and a humble man ! Together with Graham Nash they used to sing fantastic in the hollies.

[@veriurquizo295]

Mr. Allan Clarke, you are the best. It is a pleasure to hear this new version of such a famous song from The Hollies, with the piano accompaniment by Francis Haines and performed by you. Your voice is magical in this song. Thank you very much for this gift that has a noble purpose!

[@sixtiesfan007]

Simply fantastic, what a truly amazing voice Alan still has, love this!!

[@gisellelennon4986]

I love Allan Clark's voice!!!♡ Amazing!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶

[@MariaCristina-pq2cg]

Me too😍

[@tessflores785]

Love his voice. More soulful. Thank you, Allan for this wonderful song. I'm emotional hearing this.

[@ladyjane99999]

Wow, Allan, thank you for gracing us with your still-gorgeous voice! Your voice resonates stronger than ever with sincerity and soul. What a beautiful gift to carry me through these scary times, as I face my frightening job as an "essential worker" in a high-volume grocery store. Blessings to you and your family. You are truly a man of dignity, grace, and talent.

[@gralto]

This really is a truly excellent all round performance from a 78 year old man who a decade earlier thought he would never sing in public again following his now well-known vocal chord issues. Quality and respect to both he and Francis (Denis) Haines here.

[@samdevries6280]

Since my early twenties, i adore Allan’s voice in their group “the Hollies” , such a recognizable and strong voice!

[@samdevries6280]

And I am now 48 years old/ young😜, and still love the vibes and the voices when I hear their music!

[@davidcollins5955]

Allan was in my view the best lead singer of any group from the 60/70's. I first heard the Hollies in 1964 and have been to many of their concerts over the years. Allan retired in 1999 I guess because the strain of banging out the high notes night after night took their toll. 'Heavy' is a song I perform in our current band and its great to be able to sing along with Allan in the key of C# in which he now performs this great song. When 'Heavy' was first released in [ I think] the early 70's Allan was at least 5 tones higher than today...I couldn't get any where near him! Allan's latest version of the song [ now just preformed with piano] is great. I learn something new every time I listen to the song. I'm so glad Allan is now back writing and performing and who knows we may hear him again with Graham Nash doing harmonies!

[@tobylennon8913]

Absolutely amazing allan. The mood of the song really fits the mood we all feel at the moment with all that's going on. One of, if not, the best voices and nicest person in music of all time.

[@chrissyholliex3686]

Absolutely right👌😊

[@hollies65]

Pleasantly surprised at Allan's voice.

[@vernonbolinger9488]

As much as i love the original by the Hollies, this one really stirs my soul. Thankyou Mr Clark

[@nomad7412]

That magical tone is still present. Thank you my friend for your gift.

[@Davey25]

Absolutely incredible, Allan is as good now as he was 40 yrs ago❤

[@themidtownhorns5356]

Badass vocalist..one of the greats, very unheralded..

[@gregmorgan3308]

Allan being a singer myself I can really appreciate your voice. I loved it when you were younger, and even though it's several steps lower now I still love it.

[@Imbi1300]

Amazing! Thanks Allan for giving us this piece of music. All fans of The Hollies are greateful! Greetings for Argentina 🇦🇷❤️

[@DavesGarden1714]

What more can you say about Alan Clarke one of the greatest British singers ever to perform,listened and followed the Hollies since their beginning

[@tess2538]

I’ve loved you Allan Clarke since I was 15 yrs of age. “ The Air That I Breath” is my all time fav song . Thank for the memories , the nostalgia and the happiness your voice brings back to me whenever I hear you sing . God Bless.❤

[@orlandormjunior]

OMG it is perfect! Amazing! Allan Clarke! This song will echo forever!

[@christinaiwanitza9482]

I am 66 and i remember this when it first came out, beautiful song👍💞

[@Mr05Chuck]

My best friend died in a climbing accident in the North Cascades in 1979. Wow! Hard to believe it has be so long. His older sister (she was 28:or so) sang this at his funeral. Tears me up thinking about it.

[@tomaskejr599]

Beautiful,pure beauty,crystal voice,Greetings from Prague,Tom 🙂

[@lorrainekay6030]

Allan Clarke , his song , no one else's

[@jerirollins414]

What a beautiful song with a wonderful, talented, Alan Clark singing it like no other nobody can even come close to him singing this song he’s truly a legend I love this song and I always will. I was a young girl in middle school when I first heard it in the 60s thank you Alan for a beautiful memory that will live long in the minds of men.

[@bobo327]

Hello, nice video. Greetings from the Netherlands. Enjoy recording. Greetings

[@yokeloonw]

One of the best singers.

[@janetteveronica402]

Amazing Allan, thank you, nobody could sing this better. Very sincere performance as usual

[@vincelucas8574]

I had the pleasure of meeting him at great Linford recording studios near Milton Keynes, a really great person,

[@dee3541]

My Dad became a recluse and alcoholic, he wouldn’t let me in, his only daughter, he was found by North Yorkshire Police after a neighbour was concerned. Coroners report showed unconfirmed cause of death due to advanced decomposer. This was just over a year ago. His favourite band was The Hollies and he took me many times to see you. First time was 1987 at Harrogate international centre. When he arrived at the chapel I had ‘he ain’t heavy play’ as he was carried in. Thank you Allan for this, you’re my idol and you should be proud!!! xxxx

[@dee3541]

The one famous man I always wanted to meet xxx

[@johnkleber1]

I'm a fan of yours! One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, I can't get enough of watching your videos, ever! Thank you so much for all the moments of my life that your voice was present and live in the most beautiful songs forever!

[@willie8765]

When you have a God given talent as Allan Clarke, that’s a blessing. His voice is blessed.

[@tonyrollman3991]

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation, not a godly person myself but when you can sing like that I think your closer to god

[@adriannewest8522]

Nobody can replace Alan in the Hollies . Unique iconic voice

[@susanneredford3766]

I wish I could send you all a great big hug! Filled with love!!

[@nandore7455]

Viva Alan Clark ! Regards from Brazil!

[@nandore7455]

Viva The Hollies

[@alangregory226]

I have been an ardent fan of the Hollies since they first came to notice and agree with other comments that Allan was the sound of the Hollies. It is well known that Allan, as affects us all as we get older, does not have the same range as he did, yet his voice in the lower range is still distinctive and note perfect. I think that this version of the classic Hollies song is as worthy of the highest praise, albeit differing from the original as we know it. I would much rather continue to hear Allan sing that not at all. All power to you Allan!!

[@luisarenassoto9990]

¡Gracias Allan Clarke! Esta canción es un clásico de la música universal.

[@kimvaughan9566]

He will always have a great voice.

[@tantokurniawan8510]

A handsome & brilliant singer that I adore. Watched his performance in Jakarta in 1971. Even in his 81 years of age, his voice is still amazing. Long live Allan...stay healthy.

[@artisfilms6237]

I love it. Welcome back to music Allan.

[@IlmoMiranda-lo4yn]

Great Allan, God bless 👏👏👏👏

[@LordFlashheart.11]

The one and ONLY Allan Clarke! One of the greatest lead singers ever and deserves more credit, same as Bobby Elliott and Tony hicks...unique talents.

[@jerryatric1106]

Wow, what a great song and voice...memories...Thankyou Allan.

[@dennispelkey6768]

Wow, I love this version even better than the original. Allan looks fantastic just like his voice.

[@aasiufi]

Good to see you singing this song again (again and again in fact).

[@stevesheldon2716]

Really great version of his iconic Hollies song, his voice keeps a rolling on to even new heights !

[@halfwaysouthproject1050]

Cant love this enough! Mr Clarke is def a treasure!

[@la_musica_del_diablo1990]

One of the best singer in the earth, from Argentina, i'am a fan to this great band the hollies and specially allan, tank you Allan!

[@alpenglow4243]

Allan Clarke, one of the greatest voices of rock & roll. This song was such a big shift from their previous songs when it was released and went in to become a huge worldwide hit.

[@kevinbrake9407]

[@kevinwheeler2151]

Fantastic vocalist. Massive talent 👍

[@johnschlag3]

I have never loved a musician as I have Allan. I love his music and I love how he loves his wife. Simply put, he is beautiful, at every stage of his life. Hugs.

[@jenniferwells9032]

Fantastic Alan👍 I ❤️ the Hollies❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shootfirst2097]

Allan Clarke-- what a legend. The Hollies are often overlooked for their contribution to 1960s-'70s music. Luckily, I had older sisters who were the perfect age to be infatuated with British Invasion bands.Later in '66-'70, my family lived down the street from a Top 40 DJ who would give my sisters albums after they went through the rotation or albums they were unlikely to play. I was constantly exposed to these records being played over and over while my sisters' teen girlfriends came over and danced around. As a young boy, I knew that anything that brought the older girls over HAD to be good! Love the sunburst Martin D-28 behind him. (I think it is, anyway) Wish I could own one.

[@peterchecksfield9958]

Oh wow, incredible!!!

[@marconesferreira7087]

Allan Klarke amazing voice. Missing The Hollies. Wonderfull music! wow.

[@gregsavage1880]

If anyone does any search on Alan Clark they will find that that he is an amazing, decent individual, a wonderful family man, and a devoted husband. Plus the history that The Hollies went through and all the wonderful music that they played over the years, truly one of my all-time favorite bands and I can't get enough of the old videos that I find on KZbin of them. He even canceled going on tour not long ago to stay home and care for his wife who had cancer. Putting aside doing something he loves very much for someone he loves even more !!!

[@LeumMusic]

My favourite band and singer from the 60s , stay safe Allan and God Bless

[@brendanaschinski-bp9dj]

Such a sweet person who has so much talent

[@DaveLL500]

Over 50 years since the original recording and Allan Clarke is still bringing it. A truly distinctive voice in pop music.

[@elkanahodembo1465]

Many years later..... LOVELY.

[@TheClarkson46]

Forget The Beatles. The best groups from that era were The Hollies and The Searchers.Allan Clarke and Mike Pender were standouts and still going !
