THE HOLLIES---- YES I WILL

[@NewspaperTaxi11]

The Hollies are so incredibly underrated, they had such amazing harmony and so many hit songs. They deserve a lot more recognition. They're definitely one of my favourite sixties bands :)

[@doglips1958]

Yep!!!!!

[@hawkinsa90]

Now in 2020 and still hearing them I can say you are wrong bro!

[@tessflores785]

The Hollies are one of a kind band. I love them all. Underrated but the best.

[@richtintera5524]

They were the real deal.

[@NickJay]

Unbelievably they had more hits than The Beatles! That alone speaks volumes. I've always liked the Hollies too.

[@tessflores785]

I never tire of listening to this song over and over and over. Missing my late husband who dedicated this song to me. He recently passed away.

[@margaretroselle8610]

The Hollies were one of my favourite groups;I’m 69 now and still think they’re great!!

[@Fargosportsmassage]

I was 12 growing up in Arica Chile falling in love with my teacher Mrs Hume.. The Hollies x ever

[@Poopaloo55]

This is one of the numbers that really showcases Allan's fabulous voice...accurate, pure, dynamic and strong. Allan, please... never be sad about your voice....you have all of this brilliance recorded, and your remarkable body of work can be admired for ever. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@philiptucci2458]

Allan is absolutely phenomenal, you are 100% correct, one of the greatest singers of all time

[@keithowen4875]

Right On ! My exact sentiments which also include Tony Hicks on guitars and vocals.

[@tessflores785]

One of the best songs of the Hollies. Allan Clarke is awesome.

[@Poopaloo55]

I used to fantasize that Allan was singing this to me! Congratulations fellas...well deserved!!

[@goonersRgr8]

Great vocals, great harmonies. One of the very best 60's groups. Right up there with Beatles & Stones. What a rich era.

[@SPDY65]

I think with better promotion they could have surpassed the Beatles.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@SPDY65 I agree! I'm a die hard Hollies fan and for all their success, I still feel they're somewhat underrated. So many fine albums flying over the heads of the record buying public, especially their 70s albums!

[@malcolml309]

@@SPDY65 Highly unlikely. The Hollies, were NEVER in the Beatles class (no insult, no one was), nor did they demonstrate the same capacity for artistic growth.

[@SPDY65]

@@malcolml309 Nope. I disagree. Allan Clarke could sing any Beetle under the table. The guy could sing text from a law book and it would sound better than any Beetles babble. Tony Hicks is a superior guitarist over any Beetle, and Bobby can keep that beat as well as Ringo. The beetles have survived amazingly well over the decades for a band that broke up after just a few years. The Hollies have been non stop since 1962. This is a classic Ford/Chevy debate, and no one will ever change my mind. Promotion was key, always is with bands. The other thing that puts the Hollies above many bands is compatibility. They didn't have any of the drama/grandstanding/ego bullshit the beetles did.

[@evanholly3649]

@@SPDY65 I agree with this

[@LG-kl3co]

You have to laugh at the wild dancing ! BUT, yes The Hollies were fabulous...even at miming.

[@LindyL1964]

They were “GoGo Dancers”. Love it!! 😂

[@MrLaydownsally]

This is live , pitty you can't work that out

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Although a Top 10 for The Hollies in 1965, Yes I Will is lesser known than other Hollies hits. It remains one of their finest and The Monkees recorded a version of this song in 1966 for their debut album under the title I'll Be True To You, romantically sung by Davy Jones. The harmonies on The Hollies version are so tight and professionally executed.

[@6269Sixtiesrule]

Graham Nash: greatest bridge singer in rock'n'roll , no contest!

[@hawkinsa90]

Rock???? Pop!

[@mikeymutual5489]

@@hawkinsa90 The Hollies were a rock band while Graham was in the band, at least.

[@jduff59]

If you told these guys that we'd be listening to this performance 50 years later - they'd call you crazy. But we still love this music and it still sounds wonderful today. Their harmonies backed up with one of the best rhythm sections in England at that time made for a great live sound.

[@robertknowles2699]

Yeah I gave away or lost me 45 rpm records years ago. Muchas gracias, Gringo, and vithiamortensen above.

[@brianmurray591]

One of the best bands ever.Glad we were fortunate that we had the luxury of listening to these quality groups in the good old days.

Having been part of the 60s era. Listening to this now in all its glory, makes this group, the hollies. To be the Most underestimated groups off all time, every track, where you can hear every word, and sing along, unlike today's garbage. Every track reminds me of where I was at the time. A brilliant superb group, a privelidge to Have been around their music

[@dianataylor8758]

I absolutely agree even tho I didn't hear a ton of their songs at the time. The Best Group for me, I love their music.

[@bboucharde]

Raymond, You nailed it!

[@COBBETT1215]

A fantastically musical band. The wonderful close harmonies. Bobby Elliots drumming and of course the masterful Tony Hicks on lead guitar. Alan Clarke, cool frontman and great voice rounded of with the great vocal and writing talent of Graham Nash. Superb, I've loved em' for nearly 60 years.

[@carolynwoodman1734]

A C never realised how talented he was and still is. Amazing stuff.

[@tessflores785]

The best song from the Hollies. Perfect harmony . Allan Clarke 's and Graham Nash' s combination at its best. Allan' s soulful voice is it

Tengo 57 años y los escucho desde siempre.

Growing up in the sixties best decade ever for music and go go

[@lindakristinekjlibraten777]

Lucky you. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and missed the golen decade of music, but luckily there are records to buy and I have bought more than I can afford in once lol. The hollies «The air I breath» (the collection of their best songs) is one of them. «Yes I will » is one of my favourites on that cd. «Just one look» is another one, but there are many great songs there. Sadly they don't make music like this anymore.......

I'll be true to you, yes I will I'll be true to you, yes I will I won't look twice when the other girls go by I'll be true to you, yes I will Somehow this time it's all so clear to me The way to go is easy to see My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for I'll be true to you, yes I will Yes I will I used to be the kind Who said that every girl's the same And love was just a game for having fun But when I looked at you I knew that I was wrong and that I really could belong to only one I'll be true to you, yes I will Every dream that you have I'll fulfil l I never promised this to any girl before But I'll be true to you, yes I will I never promised this to any girl before But I'll be true to you, yes I will Yes I will Yes I will Yes I will Oh, yes I will

Tony Blackburn just played this on 'Sounds of the Sixties' I just had to find a copy on KZbin. I had forgotten the track but took me straight back to my teen years although I was only 11 when it was released in 1965. Brilliant track from the Hollies with their great harmonies and guitars. One of many of their great songs from the Sixties. Thanks for the post.

I remember this as sung by Davy Jones on the first Monkees' album. But wasn't its tilte "I'll Be True To You"? Perhaps my memory is fading. Also, George Hamilton! I always wondered what he was famous for and this clip answers that question.

[@phillipr61]

Further evidence of being the best live band in the sixties!

[@MrGoldenthroat]

The three best British groups ever were: The Kinks, The Hollies, and The Animals - all others take a back seat!!!

[@Harrisonianne]

the birth of *hard rock* yes, people insist to note *The Stones* or *The Beatles* as creators of hard rock 🤷🏻‍♀️ but these three (and I could easily add The Yardbirds) were musically beyond of most musical standards by then. Every garage band covered The Kinks, The Hollies, The Animals, The Yardbirds in which I really think it gave birth to early punk as well...
