Brians voice was absolutely amazing. Its just horrible how it was taken from him so brutally

[@silviazanicotti5054]

Yes... brilliant voice and sweet person, in every sense of the word...I wonder what level of cruelty it would have taken to beat and kick him so brutally as to ruin some of his vocal cords forever...Now he's in a place that only love and light, has for boundaries...RIP Brian (and Mick and Steve)❤

Я не знаю, кто и как относится к The Sweet? НО! На постсоветском пространстве великий Брайан Фрэнсис Коннолли, останется ещё на многие десятилетия кумиром миллионов, если не миллиардов. Этот шотландский блондин пел и не подозревал, что завоюет сердца во многих Странах Мира! Бывший СССР и Страны на постсоветском пространстве помнят тебя - Brian Francis Connolly!

That's a nice statement. It goes to show that the politicians are responsible for hate and war. Ordinary Russian people, no different to Ordinary people the world over. Hello to you from England.

O very sad how Brian's life began, and even sadder how it ended.😪 Rest in Peace Steve Priest. He (Steve had the cutest smile EVER) Such a GREAT GROUP! Only One left Andy. Must be very sad for him, like the Bee Gees, Only one left.

[@andymatthews7617]

I can't imagine how andy feels there must be a huge hole in his life life is so cruel 😥😥😥😥

[@vordman]

I know the guys had little affection for their early pop hits, but I think this is brilliant.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Yeah, Little Willy was the first single that remotely sounded like the live band. You could actually hear the guitar on it on that one.... But these earlier singles (most of which were not released in the US, where I am) were indeed catchy. And I'm sure the guys appreciated the fact that they were getting known because of songs like this one.

They were one of the best 70's bands. Hard to listen to them without tapping your toes.

[@tudvalstone]

LOL, this was crap then, still crap today. T Rex or Slade yes, they were something else.

[@winterweib]

I do not dare to write which was for me the best band back then... But maybe this fact makes it weight much heavier, when I say how much I liked from some time later on the Sweet. Yes, I own their vinyls, since my youth. And the older I get, the more I see how brillant they have been. Their songs with these incredible great singing between Brian and Steve resemble only Queen. I am so sad that back then all was speaking poise ed and we were told we had to decide for one band. I do not want to miss my memories, cannot say I had decided wrong back then, but I just love Sweet. It makes me sad that two members had to leave us so very young. Be blessed, you all. Greetings from Germany! :)

[@paistecat]

I saw SLADE and many others...LIVE IN CONCERT!... SWEET were much BETTER than those groups you have mentioned.., they were easily as good as THE WHO or DEEP PURPLE. By 1976 they had evolved into a heavy rock group.. the drummer in particular was incredible live... like a CARL PALMER!!
