HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER. Words by BOB RUSSELL, Music by BOBBY SCOTT, Harrison Music Corp., New York, 1969.
Sheet Music - Standard Size
Vintage from the 1960s
A ballad originally recorded by Kelly Gordon in 1969, the song became a worldwide hit for the Hollies later that year and also a minor hit for Neil Diamond in 1970. It has been recorded by many artists in subsequent years. The Hollies' version was re-released in 1988 and again was a major hit in the UK. Scott and Russell were introduced to each other by Johnny Mercer, at a California nightclub. Although Russell was dying of lymphoma and the pair met only three times, they managed to collaborate on the song.
