Mikael Rickfors was an excellent musician and the best singer Hollies ever had. It took a long time for the US and UK to be able to stand the Swedish accent among Scandinavian musicians. Sometimes post-ABBA the Scandinavian bands started to show up in English speaking nations top lists.
I find this guy better than the current 'Allan Clarke replacement' touring with the band. Mikael Rickfors has a rawness in his voice that makes this period in The Hollies history unique.
podrían ir y hacer una gira con Allan Clarke ahora 🤷🏻♀️ pero tienen miedo al éxito - si Peter Howarth ya tiene fama en Europa, un descanso o puede irse de gira con la fama que ya tiene de ser el frontman de The Hollies (no pasa nada) pero repito, le tienen miedo al éxito en tiempos virales 😂
you must be deaf. I'm not telling that they all can't sing, of course they have beautiful voices... but Allan's voice... He's The Hollies voice! you can't simply replace him with someone else. I mean there was never a valid reason to replace Allan. I'd had liked that they would never replaced Allan and going through as a 4 piece band. No need they had to fill in with another singer, believe me.
They have good voices. Terry's harmonies are sweeter than Nash's. I love it more. He did great for the Hollies. Tony is a guitar maestro, a lot better than most known ones. Rickfors had that voice that is soothing and sweet, but he is no Allan. Allan belongs to a league of his own. Sensuous, passionate, soulful, sometimes k...ass, that could fit any mood. His time with the Hollies has ended, but admit it that till now, he is still the VOICE of the Hollies.
Why competing, this is no tennis match. All these people sang beatifully with their original voices. This kind of band is no more ever existing anyplace at all. The Hollies carried their way little longer than the Beatles. I miss that kind of vocal bands ever after!
That’s hard to listen to. He can barely enunciate English lyrics. He couldn’t handle Long Cool Woman so Terry had to sing it on tour. Fortunately Allan Clarke came back, and the world was almost right again (still off-kilter without Nash).

Love love love! Thanks Anthony.
This was the Hollies during their incredibly beautiful (!), unfortunately short-lived, and totally kick-a** phase!
Yes! Rickfors has an amazing voice.
Yep, some great songs were produced in this short period.
His voice is like Tom Jones🙏😇❤️
Es más evidente en algunas canciones, yo también lo noté, es un gran cantante
Nice vocals and he did great but he is no Allan Clarke.
Bobby Elliott is no slouch on the drums
Rickfors, Sylvester, Hicks.... all have better voices than Clark.

I disagree. I think they done quite well without Nash.
...and the Hollies became, Allan Clark and the Hollies.
@@kkjell6434 Allan Clarke was definitely better. No contest.
Sorry , this is bad .
fans were enjoyed dancing and shouting so they loved this
