Thank you very much for putting this song on with your nice compliments. I worked listening to the song from a Jukebox while working at a restaurant in the summer of 1974 in Columbus, Mississippi. 50 years have gone by and I still love this song and so many more from my youth.
Allan Carke is one of the more underrated vocalists of the 1960s amd 1970s. There are many great Hollies tunes... "He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother)", "The Air That I Breathe" and others.
The best memory I have of this song was in 1972. I was heated South of Jacksonville on 95. I had just been dumped by the golddigger I was engaged to. My pal and I were headed to Miami to party for a weekend. The Playboy Club was deeply involved. About 3:00 in the morning we were listening to some AM station in South Carolina. The Skip was wide open that morning. The DJ said, "Here are the Hollies singing Long Black Woman in a Cool Dress." Everytime I hear this it makes me smile.
This lead singer has an incredible voice. He ain't heavy, hes my brother and the air that i breathe are top notch. Both are very emotional songs that will stay with you forever!
"Bus Stop" was a big hit from the early days when Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills, Nash &/or Young) was in The Hollies. They had an album track that is a bit of a hidden gem in the aong "Little Lover" (cowritten by Nash). It has a distinct Beatles flavour to it. As does "On A Carousel," also cowritten by Nash) - Lots of great stuff to explore lots of great suggestions in the comments so far.
@ Quinny ...... I'm 64 but back when I got my driver's license at 16, I would drive my brother's 1965 Mustang GT 350. He put speakers in the doors and he had a 8 track player in it along with an 8 track tape of the Hollies. Being new to driving, I wasn't use to keep my speed down and man, when this song came on and I cranked up the sound, I had an even harder time of being mindful of my speed. lol I never got stopped for speeding but whenever I hear this song.... I'm cruisin' down the road in that Mustang.
wow.... finally found someone who GETS the remarkable musicality of this,,, one of the great pure rock songs of music history...listened to three reactions before this ....none of them picked up on the pure music rhythm groove being laid down........
I grew up listening to the Hollies in the 60's, you really ought to listen to a lot more of this band, to me they were a pop band that just kept banging out hit after hit and I still play their music now and I am in my 70's.
I simply cannot fathom how you make it to any age without knowing these songs . How can you possibly know where you are if you dont know where youve been ? Cmon Girl.... 😎😎
The lead singer Graham Nash left the group and joined Steven Stills and Crosby and Is Crosby Stills & Nash. Songs like SOUTHERN CROSS and JUDY BLUE EYES are two of their best. Neil Young joined them briefly and OHIO is the one that they are known for.
Allan Clarke was the lead singer of the Hollies, before and after Nash left. Nash sang harmony with an occasional lead. Mr. Clarke should get the credit he is due!
I joined my first band when I was in grade 8 in 1972. We did this song and I am 100% sure we did not sound this good. LOL. However, the song has aged very well. Nice blast from the past. Cheers.
When I see what young people think is good music today, I feel embarrassed for them. My generation had so many great groups, they seemed endless. Then all of a sudden 40 years later, the magic is gone. With the exception of going to Vietnam, my times were great. If really wish my kids could have had the great times we has.
This was dubbed my "theme song" in college, by a friend, due to a particular black dress I had, and my long legs. LOL Good song, The Hollies had lots of hits and this was one of their later ones.
The cool thing about this song, is that it sounds so simple.. the riff... so, if you are a guitar player like me, you sit down and try to play it at some point lol... But you can never make it sound exact.. the reason is they have 3 guitarists playing that rhythm part.. and they do it so seamlessly that it sounds like one guitar.. it's crazy good. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
Got to listen to he aint heavy he's my brother - will blow you away. Hollies had hit after hit in the sixties released on single 7 inch records (one song on each side)
There is an extended play version with Nash guesting...he had left the hollies but came back for this one gig....it is awesome.... unbelievable picking...
The rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester is real enough, but although the latter never had the biggest band in the world, it has produced some of the most important British rock and pop groups of the last 60 years. The Hollies' were a pop factory in their own right during the 1960s and would even return to the top of the UK chart in 1989 with their version of 'He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother', after it was used on a TV commercial.
Manchester has a VERY long list of musical artists who were very popular through many decades. Not sure what's in the water there :) Will have to check if Liverpool has had any since the 60s.
I love the look on your face at the beginning of the song, and that you actually had to stop the song and catch your breath. The song deserves that pause. I first heard it when it came out, I was only 10 y.o. but my mind was blown. Still is. Thanks for doing this!
From my city Manchester, UK. Must have picked up the American accent from the telly. ;-). Great song from my youth. There's lots to explore from the past.
Yeah, that baby rocks!! And it did back in the 70's. One of my brothers first single 45 records. I just was rocking to that while in my gym the other day. Actually been listening to it on and off the past 7 years, and many times with my granson. It's a Goldie! 👍😉 Thanks for playing it. 🙏
When this song was first released in the United States, people thought it was Creedence Clearwater Revival, and kept asking for the creedence song when it was really the Hollies who hadn’t had a significant hit since 1970 with “he ain’t heavy.”
@Michael Rochester - I heard on another reaction channel that The Hollies challenged themselves to make their own version of a CCR song. They nailed it! I remember the confusion, too. (I was 11 at the time, but there’s no way around my being old now…)
This is one of the best rockabilly songs I've ever heard, and it's from a group a would least expect to do it, at a period in the history of rock n' roll that caught me off guard. I mean, the Hollies of "All I Need is The Air That I Breath" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"? This sounds like something Carl Perkins, or the early Elvis, or Ronnie Hawkins, or Dale Hawkins, or Buddy Knox, or Gene Vincent, or Eddie Cochran would have done somewhere between 1955 and 1959. In other words, the prime years of my teenage self and the golden years of rockabilly. The guitar lead, the echo effect, the well-described full-grown sexy lady. It's not profound or philosophical, but it sure is fun. It turned my radio into a time machine for about three minutes.
Very underrated group, did some amazing songs and had brilliant harmonising!
Underrated..? What rock have you been living under?
These fools have nothing to say, so they use the word "underrated".
One of the greatest bands of all time
Ok hippie !
Next listen to "The Air that I breathe," symphonic!!
harmonizing like no other united kingdom band
This is the greatest Rock n Roll guitar riff intro ever written!
Cant you hear me knockin?
WITHOUT A DOUBT!
I want you There's also a nice intro from The Beatles
Also intro guitar from Steely Dan Don't take me alive.
Yes it draws you in!!!

Proud to grow up with the Hollies❤️🔥🙏🎵 I'm 70 and a lucky german Guy😂

Hi,
This song, going to be here. for EVER AND EVER.
We passaway and generations, and the great song stay here,
Congratulations at the group.
All I need is the air that I breathe is another good one from them
That's a beautiful song
I used to practice my shorthand in grade nine by taking down that song!!! 👍🏻
Try Sam McGhee song
the story of all of us that have asthma it is a pretty song
is indeed
I'm so thrilled that a young woman such as yourself can love the music that I grew up with. Keep listening sweetie.
Music from that Era including 50s 60s 70s was great! Regardless of your culture it was great
Same here!!!
Allan Clarke, que timbre de voz incrível e, absolutamente singular...
She just making from it
This song came out in the 70's
Great song. The 70s had the best music
80s too🙏🔥‼️🥰
Try listening to the Hollies songs "Carrie Anne" and "He ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".
Yes ! They are better !
and !! "The Air That I Breathe" !!!
This here sonds like CCR for Poore - People !!

Congratulations, you’ve discovered The Hollies, the spectacular Allan Clarke in particular. I’ve been loving them since 1965.

That was definitely one of their very best. That song just had a slick feel to it like Black Velvet really really smooth.

The hollies is one of my fav group from the 60s they have so many good songs❤🎸
This guy can sing, this is music.
My all time favorite Hollies song. Used to play in in the car on my 8-track player!!!!!! LOL
I’ve always loved the groovy bass line and guitar in this one-💗👍✌️
Love the Hollies! Yes, that is an iconic intro. 'Bus Stop' and 'Carrie Anne' are two other excellent ones.
This lead singer has an incredible voice. He ain't heavy, hes my brother and the air that i breathe are top notch. Both are very emotional songs that will stay with you forever!
You mean Allan Clarke Dennis. He is back recording.
@@jcheck6 was so glad to hear that he couldn't sing for many years
"The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy" are great!!!

I absolutely love her reaction! Priceless. I love how music brings people together. Very powerful.
wow.... finally found someone who GETS the remarkable musicality of this,,, one of the great pure rock songs of music history...listened to three reactions before this ....none of them picked up on the pure music rhythm groove being laid down........
I absolutely LOVE when people that are usually not accustomed to listening to oldies, finding oldies. LOVE IT ❤️🤘🏼
One of the great rock songs...I've liked this song for a while. Great guitar riffs and soulful singing.
The Hollies, one of the most underrated groups of the 60's and 70's. You should check of their earlier stuff.
"I'M STILL IN 💕 WITH THIS SONG!"
a few of their songs in fact 😜!
I love how The Hollies can mix it up and not sound repetitive.
Yeah like the Beatles too
I grew up listening to the Hollies in the 60's, you really ought to listen to a lot more of this band, to me they were a pop band that just kept banging out hit after hit and I still play their music now and I am in my 70's.
"Sometimes All I need Is The Air That I Breathe" by the Hollies is borrowed in Radiohead's "Creep."
That's one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. They were a great group. I remember the year this came out, it dominated the radio
It wouldn’t have dominated the radio if The Beatles were still around.
Fantastic tune....In my top 10 of all time
I was wondering when somebody would start checking out the Hollies. They were one of my favorite groups back in the day.
Still are.
There she is with that beautiful smile.you seem in a good mood today..nice to see you give a great classic a chance- nice reaction.
I simply cannot fathom how you make it to any age without knowing these songs . How can you possibly know where you are if you dont know where youve been ? Cmon Girl.... 😎😎
Greatest song ever heard,thank u for covering it ,it brings back memories of my veteran grandfather amen.
Superior song, just so classic. Second favorite song of the Hollies after "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"
One of My Favorite Songs Ever..!
My favorite R&R song of all time!
"Carrie Anne" & "On A Carousel" are earlier Hollies tunes with beautiful harmonies and either would be a great second taste for you.
"Gasoline Alley Bred" is another timeless classic tune by The Hollies
Another great British group
The lead singer Graham Nash left the group and joined Steven Stills and Crosby and Is Crosby Stills & Nash. Songs like SOUTHERN CROSS and JUDY BLUE EYES are two of their best. Neil Young joined them briefly and OHIO is the one that they are known for.
Allan Clarke was the lead singer of the Hollies, before and after Nash left. Nash sang harmony with an occasional lead. Mr. Clarke should get the credit he is due!
Thanks for that..I didn't know! 🎧😎
Alan Clarke was the lead singer
And he held that strong voice for many years!!!
Hollies were gold.
This is what great music sounds like. Thank you for doing this video of my favorite song.
One of my favourite songs by The Hollies goes back to the 60s, " I'm Alive"
Man, my Dad loved this Song.
This hollies song was huge in that year and it was quite impressive. Man what a jam and lyrics are great
Never can go wrong with this band!
One of my top ten favorite songs of all time.
This song rocks to be an early 60s song. My mama loved it.
I joined my first band when I was in grade 8 in 1972. We did this song and I am 100% sure we did not sound this good. LOL. However, the song has aged very well. Nice blast from the past. Cheers.
Two Tele’s and a DC to open.
It’s going to be ripped’
The Hollies are fantastic

The Hollies greatest hits includes: Bus Stop, He ain't heavy, He's my brother, and my personal favorite The Air That I Breathe.
This song was played in the movie Remember the Titans! Iconic
The Hollies' "Look Through Any Window" from 1965 has insane harmonies. Very impressive song.
I agree, that's an underrated song of theirs. I've seen some comments in the past, from people joking that the song is about a Peeping Tom... 🙄
I remember playing to this song on my broom 🧹 in 5th grade, awesome song even today 👍😎👌
One of many treasured songs from the skating rink.
I always loved this tune
This was dubbed my "theme song" in college, by a friend, due to a particular black dress I had, and my long legs. LOL Good song, The Hollies had lots of hits and this was one of their later ones.

“Pure gold.” She’s right about that.
In love the beat to this song, can’t help but move to it.
Loved her reactions!!!
You caught the beauty of that intro... one o' the best, yet simple, in Rock. After each set they chain the bass player back up.
Got to listen to he aint heavy he's my brother - will blow you away. Hollies had hit after hit in the sixties released on single 7 inch records (one song on each side)

The golden age of music, who could not get into the Drums, bass and great vocals. My go to music when I'm feeling down.
