TERRY SYLVESTER (OF THE HOLLIES):
Terry Sylvester was born in Liverpool, England. In January 1966, when guitarist Ralph Ellis decided to leave the Swinging Blue Jeans, Terry was asked to join the group. The Swinging Blue Jeans had a number of hit records including 'Hippy Hippy Shake', 'Good Golly Miss Molly' & 'You're No Good'. In December 1968, Graham Nash left the Hollies to form Crosby, Stills & Nash. The remaining members of the Hollies remembered Terry from the Blue Jeans, contact was made and the rest, as they say, is music history. Terry's first single as lead vocalist with the Hollies, 'Sorry Suzanne', reached number 3 in the UK charts and established the group once again as a top ten hit making act. Soon after, they recorded 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', with a then-unknown session man, Elton John, playing piano. The song became a worldwide #1 hit and more massive international hits followed, including 'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress', 'Long Dark Road', and the 1974 universal classic love song, 'The Air That I Breathe'. These songs joined earlier Hollies classics like "Bus Stop", "Just One Look", "Carrie Anne", and "Look Through Any Window". Terry continues to tour actively worldwide and performs songs from every stage of his illustrious career.
