It's clear Allan's voice has matured in fact I saw an interview with him recently and he said just that when asked why he stopped, he clearly told the interviewer he didn't have the vocals anymore so he decided that was that and retired and wasn't sad about it ,big ups to Allan and the hollies, one of the best of the best In my opinion
One of the greatest bands to ever come out of the UK and should be put in the pages of musical history!! This band is amazing and their work history proves it all!!! We love you Hollies and thanks for the great music!!
In good old Blighty, when a song is sung, it really doesn't matter if the key is dropped; this band always finds a way to open the door to our hearts ....
The Original Iteration of The Hollies with Graham Nash were unbelievable and the Alan Clark version had 2 of my favorite songs ever This and He Ain't Heavy
My own view is/was graham leaving was a problem but if allan had left first then it would always have been a greater problem ie graham was replaceable.
we all age...our bodies change...you can't expect someone to sing exactly the same after decades of performing. But Alan and the other bandmates have made their mark in music history.
@@steverogers2635 www.openmicuk.co.uk/advice/does-singing-voice-get-better-with-age/ Yes, voices do improve, but supportive techniques can help bridge problems that arise from injuries, etc. I suspect that the British Health Services may cheap out on this like they do other things. Traveling to get help may be prohibitive for Alan as a result.
@@b_uppyWhat a load of nonsense - well-trained voices can last longer with age but eventually the throat muscles weaken, and the vocal chords become less pliable and sustain wear and tear. Voices tend to deepen - the range shifts down so singers may gain a lower note or two and lose a couple at the top end. Lowering the key is no shame.
For all you people who say that the guy singing isn't Allan Clarke, well that is crap because it is him. There is a video of The Hollies singing The Woman I Love from 1993 and you will see that the singer in that video is the same person as the singer in this video. This was probably in the late 90's when Allan started having trouble with his voice. And the reason he doesn't look the same is because he has aged which is something that happens to all of us.
The original Hollies will always be The Hollies. Of course we cannot expect that their voices will stay the same. I am not a singer but I can see a great difference when I used to sing in the past and when I try to sing now.
Graham Nash voice at 82 is almost as intact as it was when he was a young man. But he is an exception. Can’t think of anyone else from that era that you could say that about. Possibly Cliff Richard would be a close second.
This has got to be the best video by Allan Clarke he's so sweet and handsome and sexy love his ponytail and mustache singing is wonderful and refreshing
Love this video it's my favorite of my hero Allan Clarke he's so wonderful and talented so amazing and handsomest man I ever seen in my life he really knows how to captivate an audience
oooh - the allan-tony-alan lineup!!! wonderful, just love the music they did during this period! the hollies are like fine wine - they age - they get better! allan and bobby are so distinguished, and tony is still just plain hot!!! thnx, carole - kc
HOLLIES,,, THE GREATEST .. My Favorite Two British Invasion Bands of the 60's are the Hollies, and Gerry and the Pacemakers.. Great Singers and Musicians should not get old and Pass....
It is so sad to hear Allan straining as his voice fails him. I love him no matter what and I'm so glad he's doing Resurgence. He is an incredible artist and man.
Rather than lamenting what you call a “failing voice”, which apparently is enjoyed by thousands of live fans in the audience, celebrate the musicians and the music and the fact that they still got it and can make us smile and groove to their great talent and musical genius and still perform for their fans.
Esse som marcou uma geração. Época que as músicas eram dificil dizer não gostei. Anos 70. 80. Surgiu belas bandas e até hoje essas músicas são aceitas até por jovens
What do you mean WAS? Tony and drummer Bobby Elliott ( his brother-in-law, Bobby is married to Tony's sister Maureen) are still playing live with the Hollies today.
@penusenvy Allan Clarke will always be beautiful!!! As a young man in this video and believe that today too. Will never lose that look and that smile ... both enchants. I really enjoyed the your comment.
To all who say that Allan can't sing anymore on this movie: He sings better than most of todays singers who need autotune for every note they try to get out of their throat.... And, daily singing for over 30 years is not that good for your voice ;)
Yes no auto tune for Allan, great singer, The Hollies are one of our great bands to ever come out of the UK! He does sound a bit nasally here, maybe he was suffering a little from a cold?
Such a strange time in music, the old guard is still around everyone no matter what genre of music, played instruments and sang live for better or worse the industry has definitely changed
Bus Stop was the first 45 RPM record I ever bought and that song is still holds an overwhelming wealth of great memories. Glad I found this one. Thanks for posting.
Some VERY slick bass playing. And Bobby Elliott still has great drum chops. If you have a chance check out Phil Everly's covers of The Air that I Breathe and So Lonely. Thank you very much for posting this. Timeless
Oh my goodness, Carole!! I've been waiting to see footage from this performance for years! I remember learning of it at the time and always hope I'd get to see it! THANK YOU!!! :-D
For me it was the voice first but then when I looked at Allan Clarke in the face I could clearly see as far as his eyes and rest of his facial features go that it was him. But, first, all I saw was the ponytail, and I remember thinking who's this.
Allan Clark the soul of the Hollies no one can replace it
It's clear Allan's voice has matured in fact I saw an interview with him recently and he said just that when asked why he stopped, he clearly told the interviewer he didn't have the vocals anymore so he decided that was that and retired and wasn't sad about it ,big ups to Allan and the hollies, one of the best of the best In my opinion
Allan. He was the perfect Frontman for The Hollies, no matter what. Simply irreplaceable
One of the greatest bands to ever come out of the UK and should be put in the pages of musical history!! This band is amazing and their work history proves it all!!! We love you Hollies and thanks for the great music!!
More of a Tribute Band nowadays innit
I absolutely Love their album; that pays tribute to Buddy Holly. The Hollies are classy enough to know Rock and Roll didn't start with the Beatles.
We just had the Best music back then. I never get tired of hearing these songs.
The Hollies, my new drug! Been a big fan for decades! Love their music.
Me2 Luv the Hollies my new addiction cant get enuff 💖💖💖💖💖
Tony...still as cute as ever!!! Such a talent, too. Great group.
The handsomest man that ever graced a stage also love his voice and everything else he's got

The Hollies are a genius bunch of guys WOW they still have magic between them lol x
Tony's guitar is fabulous!! Always was, always will be!!💗🎵
With out a doubt.
we all age...our bodies change...you can't expect someone to sing exactly the same after decades of performing. But Alan and the other bandmates have made their mark in music history.

He needs to see someone about that. Usually voices keep improving with age.
@@b_uppy Who told you that? Nothing improves with age. Check back with me in 30 years.

I think Allan's voice sounds nice. Yes, it sounds different from his younger years, but, he sounds wonderful. Love this band!!
Such a fine man I love his voice and everything else he's got
Wow! Even when Allan Clarke has past his vocal prime, he still captivates me! No one could OWN "The Air That I Breathe" the way he does!
Holly Golightly
He needs to work on it. The arrangement is excellent, and the song needs him.
Amen x
Albert Hammond is a good performer of the air that I breathe too ;-)I,ve seen his original version twice!
Allan Clarke owns that song and that is his.
@@tessflores785 All I need is the EAR that I breathe
This has got to be the best video by Allan Clarke he's so sweet and handsome and sexy love his ponytail and mustache singing is wonderful and refreshing
I have been in love with the hollies since my childhood, mainly by Allan Clarke
Love this video it's my favorite of my hero Allan Clarke he's so wonderful and talented so amazing and handsomest man I ever seen in my life he really knows how to captivate an audience

Wait...you forgot Mike Smith and the Dave Clark 5.
The Air that I Breathe is haunting!
Thanks Carole for another wonderful video of the Hollies! Tony and Allan still looking awesome!

He's dripping with charisma and great looks

By this time Allan's voice has changed, he was straining. I like the sound here, it's as beautiful as it was way back when.
Love the Hollies!
Heerlijke nummers goeie zanger Allan Clarke
Allan gives me the shivers....just like he did when he was 22.
He commands the stage...what a stunner!!
Bobby Elliott is one of the greatest drummers ever in a group.
Steve Cook Ja,helemaal gelijk,een goede drummer
Bobby is the Greatest Drummer ever. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
Allan clark sings this alot better more emotion comes out when allan sings this.
Really wish there was a live DVD of The Hollies with Allan, i would buy it the day of release.
Simplesmente fantástico! Saudades dessa época de ouro.
So soulful and so romantic
I like this version of 'Bus Stop' a lot. It's jazzy and cool.
Allan Clarke has the best voice of anyone else love him so much baby doll hunkalicious man

this music is so wonderful! Esta música é maravilhosa ! É a música de Olivia Dunham!
So delectable love me some Allan Clarke
Love this video love this man
Allan is the most handsome and wonderful singer love you babydoll hunkalicious man
To all who say that Allan can't sing anymore on this movie: He sings better than most of todays singers who need autotune for every note they try to get out of their throat.... And, daily singing for over 30 years is not that good for your voice ;)
Daily singing is VERY good for any voice. It's tobacco alcohol and other substance abuse that causes the vocal problems.
Yes no auto tune for Allan, great singer, The Hollies are one of our great bands to ever come out of the UK! He does sound a bit nasally here, maybe he was suffering a little from a cold?
Such a strange time in music, the old guard is still around everyone no matter what genre of music, played instruments and sang live for better or worse the industry has definitely changed
Wish I could have been there for this performance
Amazing.
Bus Stop was the first 45 RPM record I ever bought and that song is still holds an overwhelming wealth of great memories. Glad I found this one. Thanks for posting.

I prefer Phil Everly's cover of this song, it's more soulful.
Who was playing bass can someone tell me dry slickon bus stop

Hermosa canción, grande the hollies.
Wonderful footage, Carole! Hollies Forever!! :)
This is wonderful!!! Thanks!!!
Melhor banda de todos os tempos. brazil

Love him
Hes so sensuous here love it
Oh my goodness, Carole!! I've been waiting to see footage from this performance for years! I remember learning of it at the time and always hope I'd get to see it! THANK YOU!!! :-D
Like a good wine Allan Clarke gets better with age love him
Allan Clarke owns the stage
Hair pulled back in a tail, bearded, you can still see it's Alan Clark by his eyes!
For me it was the voice first but then when I looked at Allan Clarke in the face I could clearly see as far as his eyes and rest of his facial features go that it was him. But, first, all I saw was the ponytail, and I remember thinking who's this.
Allan is always been a handsome man he's Rock and Roll Royalty
