Every time I hear this song, all I picture is Alfalfa singing it to Darla in the movie The Little Rascals! 😆 Long cool woman in a black dress is one of my favorite songs by them!
Harmonies + talent = joy! Autotune and computers do not replace talent and hard work. The Hollies were part of the British Invasion in the 60's and had many hits!
I love CSN & sometimes Y! Lol. I saw CSN perform 3 times. Such beautiful harmony. They have some great songs, didn't they. "Our House," "Guinevere," "Love the one you're with," "Southern Cross," "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" and "Ohio." RIP David Crosby ❤
@@The1Mommalau I saw CSN a few years ago in Los Angeles. Glad I got to see them, they are among my favorites. At the encore, they played a song or two, then they said they were going to bring out a special guest. I and everyone around thought it was going to be Neil Young, but it was Tom Petty. For me, it was even better because I had seen Neil twice but never Petty. RIP Crosby, Petty.
Do you think BP will react to "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" if we mention it often enough? There again, he may not react to "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" even if we mention it several times in the comments. 🤔
This is all about the mature love a man feels for his woman. They have made love and although she has fallen asleep he is still awake he is looking at her in the darkened room feeling perfectly at peace from the love she brings to him. Thanks for the great reactions!!!
Thank you for the perfect description of what the song is about! Poor Don! He brings a beautiful song about the beauty of mature love, and BP goes to naughty town! Lol 😂😂
Absolutely love this song, The Hollies were an amazing 1960/mid1970s band, and this song is fabulous, it was released in 1974. They had loads of hits and were often on Top of the Pops in the UK. Another favourite is 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress', it's got a great beat and vibe! Another fabulous song from 1969 is called 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, it's so beautiful.😊😊
There are no love songs like this anymore. Nor bands, singers, or talent for that matter. We were so lucky to have been around for the birth of music like this.
The lead singer is Allan Clarke. In the late 1960s I was 14/15 years old and had a huge crush on Allan Clarke. He left the band in 1999 due to major issues with his vocal cords. He was from Salford/Manchester, about 10 miles from my home town. I feel that The Hollies are underrated. They have some fantastic songs in their catalog.
I love the Hollies , you must listen to " HE AINT HEAVY HES MY BROTHER " GRAHAM NASH PLayed in the Hollies before JOINING [ CROSBY STILS NASH ] and sometimes NEIL YOUNG ❗️
I remember Graham Nash from his time with the Hollies, they had so many hits in the 1960s and mid 1970s. And then Graham Nash went to America and the rest is history!! 😊😊
@@annemaclean6634Joni Mitchell sure enjoyed his being in America! Have you ever heard of Joni Mitchell? She wrote a lot of hits but she never had a hit record of her own. She wrote the song Clouds and she also wrote the song Woodstock which became a big hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. CSNY is another great group that you have yet to play on your show. You have played a Buffalo Springfield song about the Kent State University riots and the person who died. I think you did anyway. I will have to search for it.
@@rosemaryabbott1020 Hi there, certainly have heard of Joni Mitchell, she had a big hit in the UK with her song 'Big Yellow Taxi', in 1970 or 1971. I also remember 'Clouds' and 'Woodstock', a very talented lady. 😊😊
@@rosemaryabbott1020 Yes I know, that's why I said she's a very talented lady, such a great songwriter and performer. I saw on Google that she's now 80 years old.😊😊
This song can be sung to your child as a lullaby. It’s not always about sex. A Love that gives you PEACE. Loving your child is peaceful. Sing it to your grandma.
Long Cool Woman is a great one and of course He Ain't Heavy. They have been around since the 60s...sooooo many great songs. Alan Clarke is the lead singer.
I remember my gym teacher used to play this song when we were running the mile. Get it?"All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you" She was cool and I always got A's in her class.
AWWWW - THE HOLLIES are AWESOME!! I think ya'll will enjoy a LOT Of their songs!! He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother & Bus Stop are two of my FAVS (and, The Air That I Breathe) - all are SO GOOD!! HUGS!
Alan Clarke is the lead singer of The Hollies. I loved this group growing up in the 1960's one of best Manchester bands around at the time and yes you must listen to He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother a beautiful song with a meaningful message of loving and caring for each other. Former guitarist and singer with The Hollies, Graham Nash went on to be part of Crosby Stills Nash and Young
This song was recorded at a slightly faster speed than what you hear. The machine they played it back on in the studio was slightly off speed, but they liked the result so much that the song was released at the slower speed.
The Hollies, "The Group's Group" . Generally relied on to studio take in an afternoon about an hour per track, or less. Singles include "Bus Stop", "Stop. Stop, Stop", "On a Carousel", " Jennifer Eccless "( all with Graham Nash doing harmony), - then a full album of Bob Dylan songs Sorry Suzanne (first performance after Graham left for Crosby Stills Nash and Young), with Terry Sylvester (ex Swingin Blue Jeans), then onto this track/ long cool woman / he aint heavy hes my brother. )
The Hollies had so many great hits..their style changed over the years as they matured, as did many other bands, including the Beatles..from bubble gum pop to beautiful ballads. Who all remembers the song "Bus Stop" by the Hollies from the 60's?. Nope, I'm definitely not afraid to show my age, I'll be 70 in July, and we boomers grew up with the best music that still stands the test of time.
My mother named me after a song from 1968 by the Hollies. Carrie Ann. The lyrics are wildly accurate.. 😂 At least when I was younger.. They were sadly. I love oldies. The music back then had so much more substances than most of todays music.. Great choice for a reaction!❤🎶🎵🎸❤ PS. My first child was created listening to Steve Miller Band in 1985.
You need to try The Hollies song Jennifer Eccles, Just One Look, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, On A Carousel, Bus Stop & Carrie Ann these are some of my favorite songs of this group. The group is from England, one of the band members is Graham Nash who went on to form the group Crosby Stills Nash & Young.
I was watching you two swaying to this song and then realized that I was swaying to the same song with you. 😊 It’s such a warm fuzzy blanket tune. Great reaction! Definitely a must listen is He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother!
Hoooray! Thank you so much for listening! Was great to see your reaction to hearing a classic tune! Looking forward to more reactions to come. ~be well~
This is one of my 1974 summer beach songs. I turned 20 that July. I'm from Chicago and my friiends and I used to go to Hollywood Beach on Lake Michigan every Saturday. Someone always brought a transister radio. A few other songs I remember are "Star Baby" by the Guess Who, "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace and "Beach Baby" by The First Class". Great memories and it seems like yesterday. Can't believe I'm turning 70 next month.
This became my favorite song not long after my mother and I moved to Santa Cruz in the Summer of 1973. The '73-'74 school year was my Senior year of high school, and I just couldn't get enough of this song. That lasted until I heard "More Than A Feeling" by Boston, in the Summer of 1976 (while I was in college.)
I LOVE this song. The Air That I Breathe and He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother are two of the greatest ballads of the rock era. They have other hits, including the great Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, but those two are special.
Beautiful song. Listened to it all the time back in the day. Great group. Love all the great music. Still listen to "rock n' roll" only. Was played at a lot of weddings back then.
Two of the Hollies, Graham Nash and Allan Clarke are from my home city of Salford near Manchester. They went to the boys' grammar school next to the girls' school I went to. So proud of their homegrown talent, fantastic band from my teenage years. This is an amazing track. Graham Nash joined David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form Crosby Stills and Nash and he was romantically linked with Joni Mitchell. Very much involved in the Laurel Canyon scene. The Hollies still tour, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott being the original members.
YES! I LOVE The Hollies! This is music from when I was a little girl. I heard their songs on the radio and I have loved them ever since. I love this song and especially love "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" and "Long Cool Woman" is such a cool song!!!
I grew up listening to the Hollies because my parents loved their music. This is such a beautiful love song. Another good slow song with great lyrics is definitely He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. However, I highly recommend doing Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress next. It's a banger & you'll probably recognize the intro. Other fun songs are Bus Stop & Stop, Stop, Stop (all the Dancing).
As noted in the comments, this song was written by Albert Hammond, who turned 80 yrs old back on May 18th. The song apears on his debut solo album, "It Never Rains in Southern California" from 1972. The title track to this album was a massive hit back in the day. Another great song of his is "The Free Electric Band." This guy is an incredibly prolific, gifted songwriter. His co-writing credits alone incude, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship (remember that one 😊), "One Moment In Time" by Whitney Houston, "To All The Girl's I've Loved Before" a duet by Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson, and "When I Need You" by Leo Sayer. Btw, his son, Albert Hammond Jr, is the guitarist for American garage rock band, the Strokes! Totally different sound from dad, but also great! Check out their debut album "Is This It" from 2001. Awesome music if you need to release any pent up frustrations! 😬
The Hollies are the shit!!! I’m sixty, been married to my husband for twenty seven years and this is our song. We love them. You’ve gotta listen to “Long Cool Woman”, (I bet you’ve heard it you just don’t know it) and “He Ain’t Heavy”. But there are so, so many other good ones from them. Give em a try, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Enjoy! ❤️💜💚
This is the ultimate poetry to the woman that he loves ... He's telling her that that's all he needs is her and nothing else Okay, you really need to watch the Bay City rollers! If you have never watched them before you've got to watch them... They made The best skating songs back in the '70s! Fun and light-hearted...
Of course I had to comment when you mentioned Holly and hallelujah (your wife and daughters have awesome names). Thanks for this reaction to such a great song that always makes me feel so peaceful. 🥰
It was once said, that there was a young girl carrying a large baby boy walking out of a war torn city with other refugee's when someone asked the girl if the boy was heavy, the girl replied: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". That one next please.
“He ain’t heavy... he’s my brother”...❤❤ a must listen.
I think he did that one and aired these out of sequence.
@@StatsJediyeah like a week ago or so.
Absolutely!!! 😊 and Long Cool Woman
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, He ain't Heavy he's my Brother is my favorite from the Hollies...True classic
Every time I hear this song, all I picture is Alfalfa singing it to Darla in the movie The Little Rascals! 😆 Long cool woman in a black dress is one of my favorite songs by them!
He ain't heavy, he's my brother and long cool woman in a black dress
Bus Stop, Carrie Ann.
These were made in different time periods. One at the beginning of the group and the other as they were moving in a different direction
He ain’t my brother, makes me think of my two brothers I have lost…. 💐💐 haven’t heard that song in many years….😢
He ain't heavy is a touching song.
@@mikeconway9849 Yes!
This is one of the loveliest songs ever written.
1970s GGGGGOOOLLLLDDD
...and of course "Simon & Garfunkel's" songs.
The Hollies have a number of hit, "Carrie Ann", "Bus Stop", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".
Yes, yes, yes and yes
They releast almost 70 singles
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress is my go to Hollies song.😊
Harmonies + talent = joy! Autotune and computers do not replace talent and hard work.
The Hollies were part of the British Invasion in the 60's and had many hits!
was thinking about that myself...so clean and pure
Computers make it easier to engineer a record though...
Graham Nash from Crosby Stills and Nash was in the Hollies until about 1968. They named themselves in honor of Buddy Holly
He left because of the new direction the group was moving, like Long Cool Woman, In A Black Dress
I love CSN & sometimes Y! Lol. I saw CSN perform 3 times. Such beautiful harmony. They have some great songs, didn't they. "Our House," "Guinevere," "Love the one you're with," "Southern Cross," "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" and "Ohio."

The Hollies were one of the greatest groups of the 60s and 70's!! Love love love them still to this day 💕
you need to also listen to He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother by The Hollies
Do you think BP will react to "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" if we mention it often enough?
There again, he may not react to "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" even if we mention it several times in the comments. 🤔
If not by The Hollies then pick the live Neil diamond version
@@orraman5427 He did already. I watched it a few days ago.
This is all about the mature love a man feels for his woman. They have made love and although she has fallen asleep he is still awake he is looking at her in the darkened room feeling perfectly at peace from the love she brings to him. Thanks for the great reactions!!!

She is still alive you know! She’s a beautiful woman who has been through so much. I had her album “Blue”. I bought it in 71.
@@rosemaryabbott1020 Yes I know, that's why I said she's a very talented lady, such a great songwriter and performer. I saw on Google that she's now 80 years old.😊😊
When I love the best about this song is the breath control it requires to sing. It perfectly matches the lyric.
So many great songs by The Hollies!!
This song can be sung to your child as a lullaby. It’s not always about sex. A Love that gives you PEACE. Loving your child is peaceful. Sing it to your grandma.
The lyrics say “ making love to you has left me peaceful”. Don’t think I’m singing that to my kids or grandmother.
Give over, are you going to sing about cigarettes and sex to your kids? Stick to Twinkle Twinkle 😂😂✨
@@daviddobbins9896 Well, you never know what kind of perv is posting on the internet...
It is so fun watching you youngsters enjoying the music of my own era.
I think you are going to love "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies. It will blow you away.
In 1974 to me this song said that all I need is air to breathe and you. Simple as that.
"Bus Stop" is a wonderful love story! Please check that one out! Anyone else think so!
Yes--LOVE "Bus Stop"! Such a great little story!
@@mayLibertyprevail1a Thank you for your reply! I listen to this song every day at one time or another, it just makes a person feel good!
Long Cool Woman is a great one and of course He Ain't Heavy. They have been around since the 60s...sooooo many great songs. Alan Clarke is the lead singer.
✌🏼
As a young women I took belly dancing lessons. I had so much fun dancing to the Hollies "Stop Stop Stop". I think you'll get a laugh out of it.
I remember my gym teacher used to play this song when we were running the mile. Get it?"All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you" She was cool and I always got A's in her class.
That really is their greatest hits! You could pick any one to listen to!
AWWWW - THE HOLLIES are AWESOME!! I think ya'll will enjoy a LOT Of their songs!! He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother & Bus Stop are two of my FAVS (and, The Air That I Breathe) - all are SO GOOD!! HUGS!

So many great songs by this group. I several of their songs on my playlist.
Beautiful song. Listened to it all the time back in the day. Great group. Love all the great music. Still listen to "rock n' roll" only. Was played at a lot of weddings back then.
Believe it or not the Hollies are still doing gigs in the UK and Europe, they still sound amazing.
A great band, they had so many hits in the sixties.
You really really really need to hear He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother next. ❤
Oh MAN does this take me back!!! 1974, holy cow...thank you, makes me feel young again.
My favourite song by them! So beautiful.
Two of the Hollies, Graham Nash and Allan Clarke are from my home city of Salford near Manchester. They went to the boys' grammar school next to the girls' school I went to. So proud of their homegrown talent, fantastic band from my teenage years. This is an amazing track. Graham Nash joined David Crosby and Stephen Stills to form Crosby Stills and Nash and he was romantically linked with Joni Mitchell. Very much involved in the Laurel Canyon scene.
The Hollies still tour, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott being the original members.
Dude you guys are a trip in your conversations😂😂😂😂😂
Chills just covered my whole body.
Man, where you find these gems...
Love it!
My mums best friend used to go out with the drummer back in the 60s my mum and her got to see all the best bands around
He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother...indeed. make you cry if not careful. And Long Cool Woman In Black Dress is a bona fied BANGER!!

"Look Through Any Window" is my favorite Hollies hit.

Written by Albert Hammond (worth a full look at his writing and singing output).
Dang, when that orchestra comes in...
This is the kinda music my parents listened too
You should definitely give “He ain’t heavy…he’s my brother’ a listen.
Been on my permanent playlist, since I can remember. Sooooooooooo good.
I would love to see your reaction of their hit HE AINT HEAVY! What a beautiful song about humanity!
Yes. "He ain't Heavy,he's my brother " next
Of course I had to comment when you mentioned Holly and hallelujah (your wife and daughters have awesome names). Thanks for this reaction to such a great song that always makes me feel so peaceful. 🥰
The singer lived near me, when I worked at the local supermarket I would often see him with the missus shopping.
It was once said, that there was a young girl carrying a large baby boy walking out of a war torn city with other refugee's when someone asked the girl if the boy was heavy, the girl replied: "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". That one next please.
This was one of their most INFLUENTIAL SONGS to changing music!
