mmmm. . .yes, indeed. look what we've got. . .tony forever. can i just say, even now at 65 he's still got my heart, and i can't get enough of him! lucky girl, that jane ; )
oooh, cutest cutie of all time... AMAZING guitar player, beautiful voice... those eyes and that skin?? what a gorgeous one. it does NOT get any sexier than Tony Hicks ;) thank you for posting!!!
Diane Taylor, thank you very much. I did manage to find this wonderful video. Lots of laughing and intensity. They were having fun, which is always good to see. 💜
Welcome! I think the thing that makes it so good when he's done leads is that we don't hear him that much. Allan was a natural lead - strong voice, and serious stage presence. Tony not so much - he shone loads while playing solos. Still does, from what I see on here. And - here's the thing - his harmonies (along with either Graham or Terry) just filled out that vocal blend and gave it some serious body. Him on lead vocal would lose that.
andrea, i just have to keep coming back to this - and it still gets me every time! i am so amazed at this man. you did a hicks of a terrific job on this vid, mi chica!!! xo ~ kc
Because - good as he was as a singer - he wasn't lead singer material. He knew that and was very happy doing what he did. Let's face it - the Hollies ... even a job playing tambourine for that band would be ... nearly heaven, right? But, no - Tony's not a lead singer type of guy. But his harmonies... that little extra bit he gave to that vocal blend... could you imagine him not being there? Listen to when Allan and Graham or Allan and Terry harmonies without him. You'll hear why. :)
They used to be, but sadly they were removed :( I've bought a DVD in Amazon called The Hollies In Performance that has this concert and the 1967 concert in Split
