@@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.

Interesting you should say that! And I'm in complete agreement. Nearly every week when watching TV (US), a tidbit of a 1960s or '70s song can be heard in the sound-bed for a TV commercial. In the US, Chevrolet is using "Happy Together" by The Turtles in a TV commercial. The Smiths Supermarket grocery chain is currently using the song, "Lonely People," by the singing group America, in their TV commercial.
Ive always loved The Hollies.. Allan's voice was a stand out vocals wise...I'm from Liverpool and Allan will always be up there next to Beatles to me ❤
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
Great to see Allan again after so many years, the fabulous sounds these guys created and the performances they did are legendary, especially to Hollies fans. Thanks for this and all best wishes to Allan family!
Reflecting back to over a half-century from The Hollies heydays, a remarkable aspect about that group was the lack of scandal about the members. I've never heard of the group or its members being busted for illegal substances; never heard of misbehavior; never heard of arrests; not even a tawdry rumor about the group or its members has ever surfaced. The Hollies have kept a remarkably clean image during its reign and since then; which is amazing in the modern era when it seems all sorts of sordid stuff are being revealed about past celebs and other noteworthy people from bygone eras.

It’s lovely to hear that he’s still with the love of his life & took time out to be with her through her cancer . That’s what Love is . I hear she has now beaten it & that’s just wonderful news ❤
Allan Clarke ..Best Male Vocalist Ever .The Hollies were a ABFAB Group.And their music still continues to thrill me ❤x Thank you The Hollies .Rock On.. xx
'Look Through Any Window' is my favorite Hollies song these days, but for a while in the late summer of 72, around the time I turned 12, I thought 'Long Cool Woman...' was the greatest song ever. Our family lived in Detroit and we were up North staying at a cabin in Traverse City for a week. My next door neighbor and good friend Ricky Jackson was with us and we both loved the song. I have this clear memory of us two going to a Big Boy restaurant and hearing it on a tabletop jukebox. About 40 years later a friend of mine's band was playing at a bar and I sat in on one song with them, it was 'Long Cool Woman'. I did the intro. :)
A true gentleman Allen Clarke is and I've always loved The Hollies music.💕 Graham Nash seems bitter listening to him in a few interviews but I love CSN music too, so their politics is their business.🥺
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
I have been lucky enough to see the Hollies many times, but after Graham left the band. They always gave a great performance. I train three nights a week to The Hollies Greatest hits.
I've never bought any of their studio albums but what peerless singles they produced and a fair amount of them written by Graham Gouldman of later 10cc fame. I bought the single of King Midas in Reverse which I loved but it was the b side Everything is Sunshine which I played to destruction, what a gorgeous wee song and hearing it whisks me back to my childhood with a dansette player that I was allowed to take up to my bedroom.
Hi Scott, Butterfly and For Certain Because were decent albums. Also The Other Side Of The Hollies which was an album of Hollies B-Sides. If you check out Hollies Sing Hollies from 1969 after Nash had left there is one track written by Allan called My Life Is Over With You. As well as one line I don't want To Hear The Things That You Say there is I've found a new part to play in lifeThere's different actors on my stage. Pretty clear it was aimed at Nash for leaving The Hollies. Interestingly though many years later Graham Nash lamented that he regretted not being part of He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother often regarded as The Hollies greatest song.
I am not too young, but just recently l discovered "The Air than l breathe". God, that is the best song ever for me. Thanks Alan, The Hollies, Hammond and Hazlewood🙏🏽
Went to see The Hollies at the Golden Garter, Manchester 1970 Nash had already left the group at that stage - they were brilliant that evening none the less
The Hollies they were a brilliant band. I loved "He ain't heavy, he's my brother", "Carrie Ann", "I'm alive", to name a few but my personal favourite is "The air that I breathe" I wail along to that every time. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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 !
Allan Clarke, good man. Little known fact about Mr. Clarke: He was, in 1975, one of the auditioners for replacing Peter Gabriel in Genesis. But then Genesis' drummer Phil Collins stepped forward and said, 'hey, I think I can do it'. Phil nailed the first song pretty good, then did the next number, so on, next thing the album was completed using Phil's vocal. The rest is history.

@davidshinn6501 because my friend it's the opposite to overrated as you probably know David and they were a great band that was underrated with there piers as Allan Clark said with the beatles the move the kinks etc. It's only rock n roll banter and chatter David no harm intended. Oh by the way I'm alan of the hollies cousin. But what I've heard butterfly was is that the right word overlooked then
It just takes a few decades of absence and it makes old faces barely recogniseable, Alan was quite a handsome bloke in his hey day, suddenly seeing him today only serves to remind me of my own mortality.
As he was describing his uncertainty at the beginning of the interview, the thought that came to me was "But something's happening and you don't know what it is...... do you, Mr. Clarke?"
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! 😀
The Hollies did happy, uplifting, literate, accessible pop-rock, meticulously crafted and exquisitely performed in studio and live. Nash was OK with that success until he hit the Los Angeles drug scene, and all of a sudden his (much like John Lennon's!) dark side came out with things like "King Midas in Reverse". While CSN did do a couple of excellent albums, there was very little gas in their tank afterwards, and their excesses all through their career with and without Young made for an embarrassment to American entertainment. The Hollies, now with Tony Hicks at the helm, continue without missing a beat.
Mr. Clarke, with all due respect, is mistaken about the Beatles' 'carnival atmosphere thing' being influenced by the Springfield, whom I adore. On that point, he is most likely referring to Neil Youn'g's "Broken Arrow" from the Springfield canon. That did not appear on their first album (October 1966), their only material released before Pepper. Neither did "Expecting to Fly", which he also cites. They both appeared on The Buffalo Springfield Again, and neither were recorded until Pepper was already in the can, final mixing having been done by April 20. Let me add that I love the Hollies and Allan Clarke's voice; he just happens to be mistaken in his recollection.
Thanks for this interview. Over the years it's become commonplace to hear Graham Nash talk about how David Crosby tore the heart out of CSN. Yet here, HE'S the one who tore the heart out of The Hollies. So it kind of tempers what he has to say a bit.
He Ain't Heavy - still one of my favorite songs. Always brings me to tears.
It has the same effect on me.

We saw them a couple of times and they were great.... wonderful music...❤
For me Allan WAS the Hollies despite Grahams massive talent.
And personally such a gentle guy who I met a few times when I lived in Hampstead
Great to see Allan again after so many years, the fabulous sounds these guys created and the performances they did are legendary, especially to Hollies fans.
Thanks for this and all best wishes to Allan family!
Springfield, Hollies, CSN (and sometimes Y) - such great music.
The Hollies were always a class act, those guys shone and no mistake.

Long Cool Woman is a great song, but it is Green River revisited. Play them alongside each other and see.
“Look Through Any Window” is a perfect pop rock song. The Hollies at their best.
You're a wonderful man, Allan.
I love him too
Allan Clarke one of if not the greatest lead singer this country ever produced he fronted the best band of the sixties in my eyes.
Wonderful insights and narrative recall from Allan.
I’ll listen to the rest of the interview for sure.
Thank you!😊

Yes, what a symphony of voices. Sheer bejond belief what was created within the relatively short pop era.
Chorus vocals were the hallmark of lots of the British Invasion bands. If you couldn't sing you weren't in.

It just takes a few decades of absence and it makes old faces barely recogniseable, Alan was quite a handsome bloke in his hey day, suddenly seeing him today only serves to remind me of my own mortality.
I had no idea until recently that AC did the lead vocal on Alan Parson's Breakdown.
I robot, one of my favourite albums. Parsons was always careful with his choice of vocalists, only the best.
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.
Fair, but Graham really carried the band with his songwriting
@@Hal9000ize King Midas in Reverse? Dear Eloise? etc.... by the numbers Neil Innes type pastiche of Les Beatles I'm afraid..............🦊

CSN was an opportunity, too. CSNY and Hollies are classics.
The Hollies will always be great. What a band.x
Sometimes all you need is the air that you breathe.
Fantastic band

Sempre lindo e elegante 😍
I wonder if the night that Alan was talking about when CSN were practicing in the hotel room was the night that they first sang together.
He became part of an iconic trio Crosby ,Stills &Nash and sometimes Young
As he was describing his uncertainty at the beginning of the interview, the thought that came to me was "But something's happening and you don't know what it is...... do you, Mr. Clarke?"
He took the guitar to play "Long Cool Woman" and told us that that was the only song that the group would let him play guitar on! 1976 Germany.

Hollies were good but what Graham Nash did next went way beyond
Hollies were the best group of the 60s!
Jackie Edworthy: I'm not sure I agree with that, but I can't think of a reason to disagree with it.
Well ,one of them for sure
They were fantastic, up there with the Beatles and Stones for sheer number of hits.
Nirvana and The Zombies eclipsed them.
The Hollies did happy, uplifting, literate, accessible pop-rock, meticulously crafted and exquisitely performed in studio and live. Nash was OK with that success until he hit the Los Angeles drug scene, and all of a sudden his (much like John Lennon's!) dark side came out with things like "King Midas in Reverse". While CSN did do a couple of excellent albums, there was very little gas in their tank afterwards, and their excesses all through their career with and without Young made for an embarrassment to American entertainment.

Who sang the lead vocal on Long Cool Woman?
Nash's loss. The Hollies didn't miss him one bit.
Maybe not, but then we wouldn't have had the fantastic Crosby Stills and Nash. That first album is absolute gold.

I believe he became the lead singer of the Hollies because he couldn't play an instrument. How lucky were they!
Thanks for this interview. Over the years it's become commonplace to hear Graham Nash talk about how David Crosby tore the heart out of CSN. Yet here, HE'S the one who tore the heart out of The Hollies. So it kind of tempers what he has to say a bit.

Terry Sylvester was a more dedicated and positive fit for the Hollies. I only watch Hollies concerts where Sylvester is there.
