The Hollies :: View topic

Not sure how many of you heard about the World Idol competion that was held last month, but here's a brief article from the Canadian Press. At the end of the day, there's none better than Allan Clarke when it comes to singing lead on "He Ain't Heavy".

Canadian Idol winner Ryan Malcolm finishes sixth in worldwide competition

Canadian Press - Jan 01 10:05 PM
...In the Christmas Day show, Malcolm's performance of the Hollies classic
He Ain't Heavy (He's My Brother) was criticized by the judges for lacking
passion.

I thought Canada's Ryan Malcolm murdered the song! SO far noone has come up with a better version than Allan Clarke in my opinion... I can't say what Carl's version is like but I'll let you know my views on that after the 11 March gig Very Happy

dear rob. i agree with what others

have said about the song he ain't heavy. the hollies

version is awesome. i also think the song
it's in everyone of us is just beautiful.there are a lot

of their songs that i like but i haven't got a favourite

i also agree that it would be nice to have terry and
bernie at the next convention. i met terry in 1976
when the hollies were here in new zealand also i
met tony hicks and allan clarke. then i met bobby
in 1983
i will close for now kindest reguards from gaye of nz

My two fave tracks that are my all time favourites are He Ain't Heavy and also The Air That I Breath they are both incredibly awesome and it's hard to choose between them

Yup it would be great to have Bernie and Terry at the next convention, but what about having Graham Nash along......now that would be really awesome!

Gayle, where is NZ are you? My friend lives in Wellington.
