The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

One of pop music's big, beautiful ballads, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" was written by Bob Smith and Bob Russell, and originally recorded by Kelly Gordon in 1969. But in September of that same year British group The Hollies recorded the song and gained immortality at the same time for their incredible version. Having said that, there is absolutely not one thing wrong about Neil Diamond's 1970 version.
