Allen Clarke superb singer loved The Hollies one of the greatest groups ever thank you ALL

[@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...

[@notbraindead7298]

Amen, Brother, Amen.

With you completely, have been a fan since 1964....we all got old together.

[@sergiohundo7222]

@@LG-kl3co I agree with you... our bodies really age, but what we love doesn't, so much that we talk and feel about all this after so many years. It's not a matter of chronological time, It's a matter of feeling, living transcending time. That's what The Hollies songs do, which we feel too.

Do you want to say thanks??

The Hollies were always a class act, those guys shone and no mistake.

Allan Clarke has one of the greatest voices ever, stunning

[@bjgunn8]

A message for the original Hollies and particularly Graham Nash, when you landed at Shoreham airport in 1963/4 to appear at Brighton this was the nearest they could bring your airplane down and we were queueing. If you can call it a queue it was a massive crowd and the police tried to hold us back when you came down on Shoreham Airport, which is now called Brighton city Airport. But what happened when you landed we all pushed and burst through the police, and rushed your aeroplane chasing all of you all over the airport, which looking back not only dangerous for you but also for us the propellers were still going around!, still running around the plane, chasing you all, all over the airfield., my friend Eileen, who was mad for Graham, cornered him. I was next to her, and all of a sudden she pulled out a great big pair of scissors and cut his tie off, right up to the knot, he ran off. A policeman grabbed my friend. Well, her arm took the scissors. We just run around screaming. It was the best day ever. I want to apologise now, that's if you remember that incident, my lovely Hollies, you all were a massive part of our teenage years, still amongst the best memories of that time, you were fantastic, best time ever, lots of lovexxxx

[@anthonyshiach5049]

Been a fan of The Hollies since seeing them at Palace Ballroom in Aberdeen in 1963, and went to see Graham Nash in Glasgow recently with The Hollies on same venue the following night, both brilliant shows, Tony Hicks even mentioned the Graham Nash concert so thought he might show at the gig but sadly no

[@carlosmascarenhas5121]

The Hollies...Curto muito as músicas deles. Boas lembranças.

[@gregsavage1880]

At the time of abdication from Hollies to CSN.. it seemed a bit unfair but had he stayed he wouldn't have been happy and now everything turns full circle how they're all great friends later in life and they all respect each other that's quite obvious. but in my personal opinion Alan Clark is one of the best singers, performers this industry has ever seen. If the PA ever broke down I'm sure Mr Clarke could hit the back wall of the auditorium without any amplification. And to just hear him now reminisce about his earlier days is very interesting and bittersweet. I would love to see all of them back on stage just doing their best and they're old songs and having a great time all of them ..Mr Clarke, Nash, Sylvester, Crosby, Stills, Young, All of them and I know I'm certainly not alone in this !

[@duncanburns9616]

Yes, what a symphony of voices. Sheer bejond belief what was created within the relatively short pop era.

[@wagnercabrerisso5986]

*AS AN ELTON JOHN FAN, I CAN SAY VERY CLEAR. AFTER ALL THIS TIME "EVERYBODY IN BRAZIL LOVES ALLAN CLARKE !!💓🇧🇷🙏*

I'm from Australia, but I have lived and worked in the US and UK. I love America, too, even though many people don't. I was mostly in Detroit and New York City, but I was also in Los Angeles and up in Oakland near San Francisco.

No offense to the fab4 fans. I like the Beatles but I LOVE the Hollies. Allan Clarke is in a league of his own as a lead singer.

[@Hal9000ize]

Fair, but Graham really carried the band with his songwriting

Such a handsome man

Hollies were the best group of the 60s!

1:39 I think Alan's incorrect, Sgt Pepper released May 26th 1967, Buffalo Springfield Again released November 1967, unless LSD helped The Beatles see into the fiture! 😀

Better than the Beatles ,classic Alan

[@notbraindead7298]

I not sure the world would agree with you, but your opinion definitely does have merit.

[@LG-kl3co]

@@notbraindead7298 Whilst you cannot knock the phenomenon that was The Beatles, I do say now after all this time when listening to the early to mid sixties Beatles...were they really that good ? Music changes and music appreciation changes, but groups such as Queen, Bon Jovi, The Eagles, U2, Bee Gees, blow them away for complexity and quality in recorded work.

[@notbraindead7298]

@@LG-kl3co Time marches on and after the Beatles came many very good bands. But how much of the output, of the later groups, was given creative license by the Beatles? The biggest change in "pop" music came from the Beatles. All the others copied the format. I look at the bands you listed and I see groups with more the 4 members, groups with the luxury of digital keyboards, groups that had unlimited recording tracks and groups that used studio musicians (session players). None of the groups you listed had the writing skills of the Beatles. Any group can have 1 or 2 hits but the Beatles had DOZENS. I like the groups you mentioned, especially the Eagles, Hollies, and Bee Gees. But I would not say that their overall success was greater than the Beatles.

[@truth1937]

Hollies were great.

[@vigorkomar7296]

injustifiably in the shadow of the beatles! alan clark and tonny hicks were better of lennon-mc cartney!

The Hollies were way better band than Crosby Stills and Nash.

[@colinevans1177]

Yup.

[@benmobi]

So the Beatles ripped off Buffalo Springfield? GTFO of here!

[@TheStikapos]

They were better without gram..

[@normatible9795]

It’s ok Allan. You are the hollies and the hollies was better when graham left..not much of a guitar player. Tony hicks and Sylvester were better guitarists/ vocalists

[@gunternetzer9621]

Allan Clarke one of the great front men.

[@LG-kl3co]

@@gunternetzer9621 Absolutely correct. After months of deliberation, Graham's falsetto harmonies were pretty unique and he certainly had a knack of putting them in just the right place in a song. So credit to Graham, Terry's vocals made the whole thing tighter and the songs he featured on "Heavy, The air, I cant tell the bottom" would not have worked with Graham's voice....probably ?

[@Adam-Daniel2004]

only song that got me into the hollies were "on a carousel" graham's voice i loved
