Anthony Christopher "Tony" Hicks (born 16 December 1945, Nelson, Lancashire, England) is a guitarist and singer who has been a member of the British pop group The Hollies since 1963.
Hicks first had a taste of fame at age 12 as a member of Les Skifflettes when they were featured on the Carroll Levis talent show in 1957. By the early 1960s, he was a respected member of the Manchester music scene and had become the lead guitarist with Ricky Shaw and the Dolphins. When local rivals The Hollies needed a replacement for their guitarist Vic Steele in February 1963, Hicks was approached to join the band. Although initially reluctant, he was finally convinced to join after listening to the Hollies through the air vent of the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. They had secured a test recording session with EMI's Parlophone label for staff producer Ron Richards, which Hicks duly attended as their new guitarist in April 1963 and which resulted in a recording contract with Parlophone.
The Hollies are an English pop/rock group known for their pioneering and distinctive three part vocal harmony style. The Hollies became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s (231 weeks on the UK singles charts during the 1960s; the 9th highest of any artist of the decade) and into the mid 1970s. It was formed by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash in late 1962 as a Merseybeat type music group in Manchester, although some of the band members came from towns north of there. Graham Nash left the group in 1968 to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash.
They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries (at least 60 singles or EPs and 26 albums charting somewhere in the world spanning over five decades), although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966 with "Bus Stop". The Hollies had over 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, with major hits on both sides of the Atlantic that included "Just One Look", "Look Through Any Window", "Bus Stop", "I Can't Let Go", "On a Carousel", "Stop Stop Stop", "Carrie Anne", "Jennifer Eccles", and later "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe".
Tony is a short form of Anthony or Antonio. It may refer to:

He will be missed by those who loved him, but never forgotten. DEVELOP THE MINDSET OF A CHAMPION High achievers have clarity of vision — they attack their goals and are committed to preparing for “the game.” A champion studies the strengths and weaknesses of the competition, then develops a game plan that leverages his or her own skills and expertise to bring about the desired outcomes.

Verse 1
Just like winter snows
Thats the way seasons come and go
Just like the autumn leaves fall
Thats just the story of us all
Chorus
Seasons, seasons, seasons, seasons
Seasons, they come and they go
Heaven may pass away but Your Word will never change
Verse 2
There will be times when you
Dont have a confidant in view
Just hold your head up high
For your redemption draweth nigh
Chorus 2
Seasons, seasons, seasons, seasons
Seasons, they come and they go
You just stand your ground when life deals you a bad blow
Chorus 3 (Ms. Tonx)
Seasons, seasons, seasons, seasons
Seasons, they come and they go
