Great song!! I think Tony may have been trying to throw off his adorable baby face image with that stache! 😂He is eternally young! It’s a gift! Even at 78 he doesn’t look his age!
This song was dedicated to Graham Nash after his departure from The Hollies and England and his arrival in the USA to join David Crosby from The Byrds, and Stephen Stills from Buffalo Springfield and later from also Buffalo Springfield the Canadian singer and musician Neil Young forming Crosby Stills and Nash ,and later Crosby ,Stills,Nash and Young.During those years Graham Nash had a romance relationship with the Canadian female singer Joni Mitchel,and she used to call him Willy because his second name is William.
As a bassist, the tail (or the “money notes”) are easiest to use for me. Up the neck the frets get smaller which might be easier to play maybe. But the money notes are easiest to remember and you won’t have to move to reach the lowest notes.
si, yo también creo que se parecía a Terry Kath jjsdsdjjdsddj y sentían la música igual por cierto... no me extrañaría que Kath fuera en sus inicios un admirador de los Hollies
After years blasting off them, John Lennon listened to this song and finally told them that he totally dig this sound - I bet he was always a fan of The Hollies (in the same way he was of The Stones) - like we say in Spanish language: tan solo se odia lo querido. He was never able to like/praise a Manc band bc he was from Liverpool :D
The next year, The Sweet did Little Willy. Same chap? Back in the late 80s, in my favourite children's comic, there was an incredibly wimpish character called Weedy Willy.

Love Allan Clarke his hair is so beautiful
Yeah
Hollies my best of all time ..never ever forgotten.....brilliant musicians.....
One of The Hollies best tracks !
GREAT PIANO PLAYING BY BERNE. GOOD SONG BY ALL..
I love Tony Hicks. He was an absolute brilliant player.
He still plays with the Hollies.😄
I also like Bernie Calvert he was a great pianist and bass player
@@RobertCawood-pf9nh Yes, he was!!
How gorgeous is Tony Hicks? And I love how he bites his lower lip when he's playing. "Swoon"
First major band to come out of manchester..... Tony Hicks, underated guitarist.
Thanks for the lazy, inaccurate and "overrated" comment.
I don't know which is better... This great song or Tony Hicks with a mustache☺
Both.
For me, the winner is Tony Hicks with a mustache!
Both!
😁😁
It looks like he bought it in a shop…
One of the singles I bought when I was 16, still got it somewhere !!!
What a great band. My favorites ever since.
And don’t forget Terry Sylvester on bass and Bernie Calvert on keyboard. Switchin’ it up 😄
That's rock and roll man. In my opinion, the Hollies from '69 onwards were much better than their earlier days.
You're looking sharp terry.
The wonderful Hollies! Good music... only the oldest ones.
This so cool I love what Allan's is wearing I've been a hollies fan since ,1988.from Shaz in the east Midlands in the uk.
Me too.
Great look...especially like his boots (moccasins)? 👢 I want a pair.
@@Janet-eb4sd hi Janet! I dress like a hippie I just wanna build a 70s time machine and go back and have fun! thanks for your comment Shaz
Super Hit Hey Willy The Hollies año 1971
OMG YES to me Tony is cool! awn whatever he liked to wear, if he like to sport a moustache then I say it would totally work for him. He's so gorgeous
Tony Hicks withe a moustache, hij is zo knap zonder 😊😊😊❤❤😊😊
My favorite Hollies song of the early 70s
I love it!
Feel that groove
Terry plays bass with his right hand near the tail, the opposite of Bernie whose right hand is usually up on the neck.
As a bassist, the tail (or the “money notes”) are easiest to use for me. Up the neck the frets get smaller which might be easier to play maybe. But the money notes are easiest to remember and you won’t have to move to reach the lowest notes.
HOLLIES ROCKIN
this is rock
Todos @Heyyuyyy!!! Yes Adrenalina❤
Tony with moustache looks like Terry Kath and Alan looks like a young Walter White.

Had front row seats in Melbourne Australia many years ago........met Alan and Tony afterwards...
1971
@@michaelrose5614 No........later than 1971..it was at the Arts Centre...
@@alanlane3670 l saw them 71 at Festival Hall l was about 14.
@@michaelrose5614 I think it was about 1985.........I still have the programme with Tony and Alan's autographs....
Wow you're so lucky. Wish I had met them, especially Tony.

John never blasted them, George did. He hated the Hollies.
@@soglo2009 George Harrison hated The Hollies because they made a cover version of his song If I Needed Someone which wasn't good enough.
@@charlesguinness9209 It was a pretty crappy version.
this is top!
"Willie is my child, he is my father. Joni would be his lady all her life. But for some ancient injury..." Long live Joni and Graham.
GRACIAS POR SUBIR ESTA JOYA.
The only other band that was as versatile as The Hollies was The Beatles.
So true, you only have to listen to their albums ! Great versatility !
Yes love Tony and his moustache, makes him even more sexy.
Tony Hicks with a mustache....NOOOOOOOOO
💋💋💋💗💗💗
Allan " Jack Sparrow" Clarke.....lol
Menudo look Antonio... Pareces un bebé con bigote :'D jajaja
Allan’s hair is fantastic but I don’t know about that fit… it looks more swashbuckler than rock and roll, lol. Still, great stuff!

😍🥰✌
we are in Deep Album cut tracks cool
Right away, the riff taken from original Fleetwood Mac’s Oh Well, they even put the kitchen sink in to this but not a patch on the Beatles
The Kinks - You Really Got Me?
They weren’t trying to be the Beatles. The Hollies were loved for being The Hollies.
Nothing like the riff from " Oh Well" either!
I don’t remember this!
Me neither! This couldn’t have been too long after Graham Nash headed across the pond.
I smell a little Led Zepplin going on here.
1971 - The Hollies Distant Light album included a track called "Hold On" which is very Zeppelinsche in fact
this is about paul?
Where is bernie the bassman and and gr8 wig for drummerboy
He playing keyboards on this track
@@JoginderSingh-uf5od oh yeah .Bernie had a good wig aswell , thats y I didnt recognise him
Interesting... I didn't know Bernie Calvert wore a wig.
Bernie is playing piano and Terry Sylvester is playing bass !
@@staypress he never wore a wig, it was bobby (the drummer) that wore a wig. Bernie had kept is hair well up until the 80s.
Unfortunately, Bobby isn’t miming too well here, on drums..
Too bad it’s mimed. Should have let them play.
Allan🙏
