This is my favorite version of all the times Allan has sung this song. His voice is beautiful, he looked at the magical lights with wonder. His smile and those eyes always tug on my heart. He just seems to make a connection with you through the camera and I love him dearly. He touches my heart and my eyes fill with tears over this song that has so much meaning to me. Allan is The Hollies and no other singer can replace him. I hope he knows how much he is loved.
My daughter danced with her disabled brother at her wedding to this song. It was such a beautiful moment. Thanks for writing this song. It means so much to us.
I saw Alan Clark in 1987 with my Dad, and we saw the Hollies 6 times over a few years. My Dad became a recluse and wouldn’t see me or my daughter due to his alcohol issues. The police found him and he’d been dead for three months when he was found. I organised his funeral and the song I chose when he was carried in was ‘He Ain’t Heavy’ there’s a story attached to the song but too long for here. Thanks to The Hollies for writing the song that meant so much to me and my Dad xx
Neither Allan, nor any of the other Hollies had a hand in writing ‘He Ain’t Heavy… ‘. It was written by Bob Russell and Bobby Scott, two American songwriters
Sorry for Your Loss. May God BLESS YOU... FOR ...Honoring your Dad with Unconditional Love. We all have faults & some kind of demons in our lifetime. NOT of US can survive them. LIFE can be HARD for Some. INCREDIBLE Emotional Music ...like THIS helps us ...REMEMBER & TREASURE the Good Times. MAY GOD watch over the W🌎RLD during these CRAZY TIMES.
I love this words to this song. WHY? Cause I have a big brother that the family thinks he's heavy. I'm his baby sister and he is not heavy to me. Thanks for posting this song and PEACE ALL.
It is now 2024. I remember hearing this one from the backseat on AM radio over 40 years ago and yet to this day it still moves me and pulls at my heart while some days bringing tears to my eyes……
Allan seems delighted with the public and as always beautiful, owner of an incredible charm. And the voice? beautiful and powerful as ever. Thank you Allan for all his work, for this brilliant move as the music, you are forever
Allan Clarke is getting better with the years. Wonderful music, brillant lyrics, I love this song and the Hollies..Thank you ForCertainBecause for this outstanding post...
Man - the technology we have now is just incredible, isn't it? This is EXCELLENT. They were - and apparently still are - an awesome band, and today's technology lets us hear every single nuance and emotion...
Growing up in the 60's into the 70's they never got the respect they deserved... Sad...When the Hollies came on at your girlfriends basement when her parents were out it was make out time..Such wonderful memories.. Tracy..I'm thinking about you..
I know Allan had an amazing voice back then, but to hear him in 1993 where his voice is as spectacular as ever, just shows what a talented singer he is! and a great band, not forgot you lads ;) x
This song has always had a special meaning between my Brother John & Myself. He was recently ripped from us. Taken way to soon. A hole remains in my heart for life. R.I.P. John. You will always remain an awesome Brother to me. Love is forever.xoxoxox
This is for you Charlie - my darling brother - 9 years ago left us - we're still in pain you were still so young!!!!! Love you Charlie Attard - and hug you - your sis xxxx
remember people , we all get old, and these guys sure don't care, they just love to play the hollies, we all get old!, looks fade, but the music lives on!
I had never seen this one!! Oh my God!! the older Allan got, the better he looks!! And Tony, I agree, he looks like he doesn't age...thank you so much for making my day!!!
Allan parece encantado com o público e como sempre lindo , dono de um charme inacreditável .E a voz? linda e potente como sempre. Obrigada Allan por todo seu trabalho, por essa passagem tão brilhante pela música, você é para sempre.
This is so timeless and perfect imo. Takes me back to when I saw them live and met them all in '97. Best night out of my life spending time with them after the concert and getting their autographs - they were perfect live all night then too. I was 13 at the time and they are still my most favorite band ever. Precious memories :) Thank you so much for sharing - this video never gets old for me
"Immortalized by the Osmonds"??? Gimmeee a break!!! Nothing they have done or every will do can possibly compare to the Hollies!!! Especially Allan's amazing voice...... xxxx Barbara
I like to think that the Hollies were a really great group who never imploded due to booze, drugs, and all the crap that so many other bands got messed up in.
Hey Mr. HANDSOME lead singer lovely smile;) beautiful band priceless grew up with they don't make them any better with LOVE and respect Maggie Los Angeles California ❤🎤❤🎵❤🎼❤🎤❤🎸❤🎹💕💖💓😍😘😍😘
I was so sad to read your comment. Allan imagine how he felt. His voice is so powerful away ... Too bad ... for us all that we are without the sound of the angel. Fiquei tão triste ao ler seu comentário. Imagino como Allan se sentia. Sua voz tão potente se esvaindo... Que pena...para todos nós que ficamos sem o som do anjo.
I must point out that this is actually a mimed performance. This backing track was used from at least 1988 for TV performances. At this time Allan's voice certainly wasn't what it once was but in concert he indeed could still cut it. The major trouble did indeed seem to come in the later 90's. I remember a show in '96 where he was clearly struggling but then in '97 he was in fine form. However when I saw what was to be my last show with him in '99 he was REALLY struggling. It was heartbreaking
That was not a lip synch performance at all. He started to have some trouble with his vocals in 1996, they had to keep lowering the key and adjusting the music but he said that a lot of people were noticing and asking what was wrong with his voice. As well as this his wife was diagnosed with cancer for the second time . So he decided it was better all round if he retired from singing and look after his wife Jenny. However , he has been working on some music in the past couple of years and although not what it was , he is managing to make some very nice music .
This song never gets old. As relevant today as when it first came out.
This is my favorite version of all the times Allan has sung this song. His voice is beautiful, he looked at the magical lights with wonder. His smile and those eyes always tug on my heart. He just seems to make a connection with you through the camera and I love him dearly. He touches my heart and my eyes fill with tears over this song that has so much meaning to me.

Wow.! I fell exactly the very same way , this song beside so beautiful lyric, it does touch me in a very special way..,! 🌹
Me too....the song is perfect and so true......
Eu amo ele muito ❤lindo
I feel the same way you do when I watch this video. As if he is smiling directly at me. Pulls on my heart strings. What a voice❤❤❤
Why does Clarke left the Hollies?
This dude always finds the camera when he sings. No matter what decade or venue.
No one can sing that song like Allan Clarke. No one.
Thank you, Allan Clarke. You are truly amazing... voice, charisma, appeal , talent and all.
WOW.. HE still has that awesoem voice.
He`s irreplaceble.....what an outstanding musical legacy he has left us. We miss you badly, Allan...you`re a true professional!
He's still alive.
@@davechristian7043 wahaha true
Alive
Nobody said he was dead! Just not in the band any longer so he's missed.🤷🏼♀️
My daughter danced with her disabled brother at her wedding to this song. It was such a beautiful moment. Thanks for writing this song. It means so much to us.
It was actually written by Bobby Scott & Bob Russell. The Hollies were not even the first to record it.
@@mungous1000 This was her very special day, with her brother. Your remarks were correct, as for the timing?.....
@@contourbodynothing wrong with the timing.
What a lovely memory you have !

Rip to your father!
This is one key lower than the original version. Allan lost his illustrious voice to so many factors. But good to see he is still singing.
That is an incredible live performance by one of the truly great pop/rock vocalists of all time.
Can you imagine Allan reading and responding to our comments?
My God!!!
A dream!!!
Allan is the best voice to come out of England, lovely guy. First met mid 60s.
I love this words to this song. WHY? Cause I have a big brother that the family thinks he's heavy. I'm his baby sister and he is not heavy to me. Thanks for posting this song and PEACE ALL.
Feel that charisma...What a guy!!!!
Allan can still make my heart pound with his awesome singing and his beautiful face!!!!!
Yes. I'm still crushing on him after all these years!
He still had that amazing voice and this song sounds just as good as when they came out with it in the 60's. I love Hollies and their music.
One of the most important songs we had in Vietnam in the 60s 70s
WOW he's aged like fine wine in looks, voice, all around-even better than back in the day.... LOVE
It is now 2024. I remember hearing this one from the backseat on AM radio over 40 years ago and yet to this day it still moves me and pulls at my heart while some days bringing tears to my eyes……
I Love The Hollies .... I Love Allan Clark ... wonderfulll
Allan seems delighted with the public and as always beautiful, owner of an incredible charm. And the voice? beautiful and powerful as ever. Thank you Allan for all his work, for this brilliant move as the music, you are forever
Absolutely AWESOME!!!
Allan still has a great voice, after all these years, was lucky enough to have met him in the 60's
Wish everyone listen and believe at these song words , then we should have a better world !
No one can outdo you, Allan Clarke, performance-wise....You're great and so with the whole band....Great performance...
Allan Clarke is getting better with the years. Wonderful music, brillant lyrics, I love this song and the Hollies..Thank you ForCertainBecause for this outstanding post...
Love Allan Clarke. Still has an awesome voice, and so handsome.❤
The guys are still on top form here. Allan looks and sounds groovy and as for our lovely Tony.... the business as usual!
His voice get`s deeper in this period [even better]
Man - the technology we have now is just incredible, isn't it? This is EXCELLENT. They were - and apparently still are - an awesome band, and today's technology lets us hear every single nuance and emotion...
Still sounds brilliant, The Hollies with their legendary lead singer Allan Clarke on lead vocals.....Thanks for this superb post..... Terry
A timeless classic then 24 years after it was first released, and it still is!!!
One of the greatest songs ever recorded
Growing up in the 60's into the 70's they never got the respect they deserved... Sad...When the Hollies came on at your girlfriends basement when her parents were out it was make out time..Such wonderful memories.. Tracy..I'm thinking about you..
A moving classic! Played a photoshow with this song when my younger brother passed. This song brings a greater meaning whenever I hear it. Thank you!
What A Spectacular Performance!!! The Voice of Allan Clarke
Absolutely Timeless!!👏👏👍👍
Beautiful man, so charming and his vocals are amazing. What a timeless masterpiece this is. ♥️🎶🌹

Such a beautiful man with an amazing voice♥️
This is for you Charlie - my darling brother - 9 years ago left us - we're still in pain you were still so young!!!!! Love you Charlie Attard - and hug you - your sis xxxx
I love me some Allan Clarke. He may be the best lead singer of a band ever; certainly the most underrated.
Allan was still in top fettle in 1999. He had a very strong voice but his second and sudden departure was to shock everyone.
Such a handsome hunk of man
What a fantastic performance.
Love this song and I play it all the time
Privileged to have listened to the Hollies and all the quality that they convey. Thanks boys. Chapeau!!!!
remember people , we all get old, and these guys sure don't care, they just love to play the hollies, we all get old!, looks fade, but the music lives on!
This for my brother passed away 6th march this year miss you Carl rip with mum and dad now and husband Carl same name ox
A great song exquisitely delivered.
Genius....saw them live a few times in the 80's with my dad..and grew up listening to them thanks to dad....cheers
Reminds me of my late big brother. He protected me and Loved me. I'll see you in Heaven big brother.
An amazing man with an amazing voice he makes my heart skip a beat.
Wow!! that man has the voice and the look as an old man good!~!
Just hauntingly beautiful 😍
Man he got a great voice
My sophomore year in high school (1969)...this song still moves me very much!!
simply beautiful
Not dead...retired. No Hollies for me without Allan.
His "replacement" is very talented and is helping to keep the music alive. Plus he's very sexy.
This is one of my favorite vids even though it's in 93 because I can see the harmonica-playing parts.
This is the Hollies!!!! Alan on lead, Tony playing guitar, the other Alan on guitar and Bobby on drums. 💕💕💕🎂🎂
You forgot about Ray On Bass Guitar and Ian On Keyboards.
Bloody brilliant, awesome song, awesome singer, beautiful and thank you. :)
Great song and performance
Very nice video... and outSTANDing sound! Thanks for posting...... kinda takes me back..
Finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, just where they belong!!

I was 12 when this was done! I wish I could hacve been there!
Beautiful Song 🎵 ❤️ 😍.

This is my favorite video of that song. I think he got better with age.
I loved this song when I was a boy & I love it still!

This song makes me cry.
This is so timeless and perfect imo.

Thank you so much for sharing - this video never gets old for me
GREAT live performance!
"Immortalized by the Osmonds"???
Gimmeee a break!!!
Nothing they have done or every will do can possibly compare to the Hollies!!!
Especially Allan's amazing voice......
xxxx

I like to think that the Hollies were a really great group who never imploded due to booze, drugs, and all the crap that so many other bands got messed up in.
I think the same w👍
Well according to Bobby Elliots book, Alan had a problem with drink and of course Graham admits the use cannabis in his book.
And that smile, ah! Allan's that smile!
E esse sorriso, ah!!! esse sorriso do Allan!!!
He Aint Heavy....He is Ma Bro....thanks for sharing...Hollies
what a powerful voice by allan clarke just the best
Those eyes really do something special to me
Wonderful song, emotional lyrics, very moving. Thanks for the vid.
That apology was a nice touch, ian. Hollies fans are decent people just like the band. I miss Allan too. The legend endures....
this song always make me to remember my best friend who has passed away....Yadi Grenk.

I was so sad to read your comment. Allan imagine how he felt.
His voice is so powerful away ...
Too bad ... for us all that we are without the sound of the angel.
Fiquei tão triste ao ler seu comentário. Imagino como Allan se sentia.
Sua voz tão potente se esvaindo...
Que pena...para todos nós que ficamos sem o som do anjo.
Love Alan as lead singer of this group!!!!! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Nunca me canso de escuchar su música ❤
