THE HOLLIES - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (1975)

[GuilhermeBlassioli]

Any special reason for tony be playing the bass and terry the guitar?

[ocarrington]

Allan is the BEST I tried to listen to others after being turned on to him and all I want to here is his voice .... others pale in comparison... and he is great to look at too, very sexy!!!!

[deepeemark]

Totally live...and OOPS..."Sadness of Love"...instead of 'Gladness of Love"!

[Squirrlyburt]

First of all people...this is absolutly live; every bit of it. Secondly, this is not an easy song to sing/carrie harmony with; structural chord issues. Lastly, those who checked "dislike" obviously do not appreciate great music. This song will stand the test of time and the Hollies did it justice.

[jiggawoo]

he aint heavy but he might be miming,

still manages to sing whilst playing the harp ? (3.25)

[PetulaGordino]

@jiggawoo Terry Sylvester t(in white) actually takes over singing that part if you look closely!

[jonomutiny]

@jiggawoo In those days the singer sung live, but the music and pieces of a vocal backing track was pre recorded to cut out act turn around times, there is double vocals in the same phrase and the backing track plays as he starts the harp part live.....it was live TV in the 70's, in Britain and that was how it was done then, the main vocal is live....he ad libs!

[Mskazkaz42]

Great song thanks for the upload

[gamoonbat]

Is it the bare chest or the perm that drives them wild?

[Poopaloo55]

@gamoonbat

It's the face, the voice and the CHARISMA! The chest is fine too. Can't say I'm wild about the perm but I'll take if it goes with the rest!!! Does that help?

[ian0194]

im a red blooded male but can see why all you ladys go wild for him..........happy swooning particularly linda[poopaloo]...........xhol­lies forever..

[Poopaloo55]
