The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (1993)

[@firemedic5100]

This song never gets old. As relevant today as when it first came out.

[@soakingbook]

This dude always finds the camera when he sings. No matter what decade or venue.

[@CadillacL]

WOW.. HE still has that awesoem voice.

[@HughieBurns-ws8gi]

Allan is the best voice to come out of England, lovely guy. First met mid 60s.

[@tessflores785]

No one can sing that song like Allan Clarke. No one. Thank you, Allan Clarke. You are truly amazing... voice, charisma, appeal , talent and all.

[@dianeredd8537]

This is my favorite version of all the times Allan has sung this song. His voice is beautiful, he looked at the magical lights with wonder. His smile and those eyes always tug on my heart. He just seems to make a connection with you through the camera and I love him dearly. He touches my heart and my eyes fill with tears over this song that has so much meaning to me. Allan is The Hollies and no other singer can replace him. I hope he knows how much he is loved.

[@samor5027]

Wow.! I fell exactly the very same way , this song beside so beautiful lyric, it does touch me in a very special way..,! 🌹

[@rosemarygranat]

Me too....the song is perfect and so true......

[@rocha5523]

Eu amo ele muito ❤lindo

[@MegGray1]

I feel the same way you do when I watch this video. As if he is smiling directly at me. Pulls on my heart strings. What a voice❤❤❤

[@siggimaier6357]

Why does Clarke left the Hollies?

[@Poopaloo55]

He`s irreplaceble.....what an outstanding musical legacy he has left us. We miss you badly, Allan...you`re a true professional!

[@davechristian7043]

He's still alive.

[@antonioluna7784]

@@davechristian7043 wahaha true

[@antonioluna7784]

Alive

[@lorirapp8581]

Nobody said he was dead! Just not in the band any longer so he's missed.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@stephenbeckwith6938]

One of the most important songs we had in Vietnam in the 60s 70s

[@Jmarlowe2607]

Love Allan Clarke. Still has an awesome voice, and so handsome.❤

[@dubesmac]

My daughter danced with her disabled brother at her wedding to this song. It was such a beautiful moment. Thanks for writing this song. It means so much to us.

[@mungous1000]

It was actually written by Bobby Scott & Bob Russell. The Hollies were not even the first to record it.

[@contourbody]

@@mungous1000 This was her very special day, with her brother. Your remarks were correct, as for the timing?.....

[@Bruce-1956]

​@@contourbodynothing wrong with the timing.

[@ForeverUs1]

What a lovely memory you have !

[@veraluciasc]

Can you imagine Allan reading and responding to our comments? My God!!! A dream!!!

[@sonaguiar2525]

I Love The Hollies .... I Love Allan Clark ... wonderfulll

[@Poopaloo55]

Feel that charisma...What a guy!!!! Allan can still make my heart pound with his awesome singing and his beautiful face!!!!!

[@jeanettesmith765]

Yes. I'm still crushing on him after all these years!

[@dee3541]

I saw Alan Clark in 1987 with my Dad, and we saw the Hollies 6 times over a few years. My Dad became a recluse and wouldn’t see me or my daughter due to his alcohol issues. The police found him and he’d been dead for three months when he was found. I organised his funeral and the song I chose when he was carried in was ‘He Ain’t Heavy’ there’s a story attached to the song but too long for here. Thanks to The Hollies for writing the song that meant so much to me and my Dad xx

[@rob_in_stowmarket_uk]

Neither Allan, nor any of the other Hollies had a hand in writing ‘He Ain’t Heavy… ‘. It was written by Bob Russell and Bobby Scott, two American songwriters

[@cs271]

Sorry for Your Loss. May God BLESS YOU... FOR ...Honoring your Dad with Unconditional Love. We all have faults & some kind of demons in our lifetime. NOT of US can survive them. LIFE can be HARD for Some. INCREDIBLE Emotional Music ...like THIS helps us ...REMEMBER & TREASURE the Good Times. MAY GOD watch over the W🌎RLD during these CRAZY TIMES.

[@chuckyoneil2853]

Rip to your father!

[@nonoydilag6740]

This is one key lower than the original version. Allan lost his illustrious voice to so many factors. But good to see he is still singing.

[@philliptrimbath7138]

That is an incredible live performance by one of the truly great pop/rock vocalists of all time.

[@TCBabe1]

WOW he's aged like fine wine in looks, voice, all around-even better than back in the day.... LOVE

[@rebeccahernandez3460]

He still had that amazing voice and this song sounds just as good as when they came out with it in the 60's. I love Hollies and their music.

[@HilaryMG]

I know Allan had an amazing voice back then, but to hear him in 1993 where his voice is as spectacular as ever, just shows what a talented singer he is! and a great band, not forgot you lads ;) x

[@Athensdiamond]

Wish everyone listen and believe at these song words , then we should have a better world !

[@evilofisalm]

His voice get`s deeper in this period [even better]

[@AlTavers]

Man - the technology we have now is just incredible, isn't it? This is EXCELLENT. They were - and apparently still are - an awesome band, and today's technology lets us hear every single nuance and emotion...

[@chasinthewind1198]

It is now 2024. I remember hearing this one from the backseat on AM radio over 40 years ago and yet to this day it still moves me and pulls at my heart while some days bringing tears to my eyes……

[@pommygirl1]

Absolutely AWESOME!!! Allan still has a great voice, after all these years, was lucky enough to have met him in the 60's

[@brendanaschinski-bp9dj]

Such a handsome hunk of man

[@cmcgrimes]

I love this words to this song. WHY? Cause I have a big brother that the family thinks he's heavy. I'm his baby sister and he is not heavy to me. Thanks for posting this song and PEACE ALL.

[@veraluciasc]

Allan seems delighted with the public and as always beautiful, owner of an incredible charm. And the voice? beautiful and powerful as ever. Thank you Allan for all his work, for this brilliant move as the music, you are forever

[@TheDerek47]

I like to think that the Hollies were a really great group who never imploded due to booze, drugs, and all the crap that so many other bands got messed up in.

[@shanebriggs1039]

I think the same w👍

[@LG-kl3co]

Well according to Bobby Elliots book, Alan had a problem with drink and of course Graham admits the use cannabis in his book.

[@Bunnyhop58]

I love me some Allan Clarke. He may be the best lead singer of a band ever; certainly the most underrated.

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

The guys are still on top form here. Allan looks and sounds groovy and as for our lovely Tony.... the business as usual!

[@dennisbuzzini1781]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded

[@zrieqi58]

This is for you Charlie - my darling brother - 9 years ago left us - we're still in pain you were still so young!!!!! Love you Charlie Attard - and hug you - your sis xxxx

[@babeslopez4536]

No one can outdo you, Allan Clarke, performance-wise....You're great and so with the whole band....Great performance...

[@brendanaschinski-bp9dj]

I love Allan Clarke and his voice eyes and everything else he's got to offer his fans and the audience

[@sandletters39]

Allan was still in top fettle in 1999. He had a very strong voice but his second and sudden departure was to shock everyone.

[@stevekruse2321]

What A Spectacular Performance!!! The Voice of Allan Clarke Absolutely Timeless!!👏👏👍👍

[@josephweaver335]

remember people , we all get old, and these guys sure don't care, they just love to play the hollies, we all get old!, looks fade, but the music lives on!

[@Chiselnyc]

Finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, just where they belong!!

[@PaulaEvans-vd7uo]

Love this song and I play it all the time

[@deviousdai1951]

A timeless classic then 24 years after it was first released, and it still is!!!

[@veekatore8983]

Growing up in the 60's into the 70's they never got the respect they deserved... Sad...When the Hollies came on at your girlfriends basement when her parents were out it was make out time..Such wonderful memories.. Tracy..I'm thinking about you..

[@allencarter287]

Man he got a great voice

[@Poopaloo55]

Not dead...retired. No Hollies for me without Allan.

[@suzieanderton4239]

His "replacement" is very talented and is helping to keep the music alive. Plus he's very sexy.

[@fredajordan7059]
