This song came out when I was a young 23-year-old, and now I'm 60. The lyrics "well I've wasted all my tears, wasted all of those years" resonate even more, especially when you have life's regrets... please try hard, and don't have regrets when you're 60.

im 58 and remember Simply Red clearly....I was 21 and immigrated to the US 3 years earlier.....I know about regrets and this track had the same effect as you. May our 60s be the best, good soul. God Bless.

@beverlykrebs4372 Год назад

I'm 63, and fell in love with this song when it came out when I was a young woman. It's beautiful yet heartbreaking. I always heard that "Red" wrote this from his personal experience, having been in a less than loving home & ran away. I will have to look that up now! I'm curious if that is accurate. Btw, I went thru lots of crap in my 20s but then found a good man, got married & had a daughter. She's 28 now & I've been married to her dad for 33 years. No regrets on those years at all!! Just wish I had better health, but you can't have it all!!

@fredflinstone8843 Год назад

@LetItBeSummer-1 Год назад

What’s even sadder when you read the story of his childhood, others mentioned that his mother left him and it was also difficult for him to be brought up just by his father who had a lot of issues too. He met up with his mother many years later just once I think. She said she had no regrets of letting him go! Can you imagine a mom saying something like this? You are just about to find out what it’s like to be a mom and you could never imagine doing this to your child!

@moodaymoom2271 Год назад

I believe she contacted him and told him she had cancer and she was living in the US I believe, he flew out to see her only to discover it was all a lie. That was the end of their relationship. It was why he did not marry until 2010 . So sad but what an incredible gift he has and shares with us.

In `85 Simply Red (Mick Hucknall) was the first musician to bring soul music back to the fore. Back then nobody thought after punk music that there could ever be a revival of soul music. But Mick Hucknall did, and it hit like an earthquake. Thanks for sharing and best wishes@all from hamburg (germany)

@kirkshuffle7846 Год назад

As a kid, Hucknall was a northern soul boy. In the industrial north of England working class kids with nothing elevated towards rare soul American beats to dance to at, all nighters (helped by amphetamine). The band name came from his love of Manchester United; not his hair.

@stevenblock9712 Год назад

His other hit was a cover of "If You Don't Know Me By Now", originally done by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes with Teddy Pendergrass singing lead.

Fun Fact: He wrote this song when he was a teenager, it's about the fact that his Mother left him and his father when he was just a young boy, he grew up without his Mother and it broke his heart. "Wishing for the arms of Mater (Mother)." That's why he sings so soulfully. Also, Mick Hucknall is one of the truly great blue-eyed soul singers of all time.

Lex, I too thought he was black because the song was played on all the R&B stations. Same thing happened when I first heard The Righteous Brothers back in the 60's. Soul truly has no color.

Simply Red and Sade were two of the best British soulful bands of the 80s. Mick Hucknall finally decided to live in Italy but occasionally appears on stage usually with an orchestra these days. I forgot to mention 'Money's to tight to mention'. Check out the live version.

@jameshoffman7599 Год назад

Simply Red is still making music today with their last album going to #6 on the British Charts. They've been much more successful in the UK and Europe with over 35 top 40 songs in the UK and 6 #1 Albums. Stars is the 11th biggest selling studio album of all time in the UK. Here are some suggestions. Holding Back the Years is from their 1st Album Picture Book. Listen to If you Don't know me By Now a remake of the Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes single that featured Teddy Pendergrass on vocals. It went to #1 in the US in 1989. . They are very hard to categorize as their music is a bit R&B, Jazz, Funk, Pop, and even a little Reggae. I'd suggest besides what I've mentioned Stars, For Your Babies, You've Got it, Angel featuring the Fugees Lauryn Hill from the movie Set it Off. Sad Old Red, The Live in Hamburg Video is great. Sunrise from 2003's Home which also had a remake of You Make me feel Brand New. ( He usually does a remake on every album, it's his way of paying tribute to the artists he loved growing up) Thrill Me (Funk) From 2019 I don't do Down or Thinking of you both Funk. If You like Reggae try Night Nurse.

It still amazes me to this day that people just assume that powerful/ soulful singers are black.... I'm just as guilty because growing up my mum would listen to Billy Ocean and I thought he was white until I saw the album cover. It warms my heart when their identities are revealed because it proves the point that deep down there is no differences between the people of this planet!! Thank you for reacting to this band, Mick had one of the best voices ever to sing a tune and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

I know what you mean. I'm Black, and i remember when my mom used to play Procol Harum (A Whiter Shade of Pale) and Timi Yuro back in the 60's, we thought they were both Black. Procol Harum was a British band, and Timi is American and part Italian. Timi had such a powerful, magnificent voice, one of my all time favorites to this day. My parents listened to anybody that they liked, Brenda Lee, Tom Jones, Dean Martin, Engelbert, it didn't matter, good music is good music, no matter who sings it. All of the above artists have stayed with me all these decades, and thank goodness for CD's instead of those old worn out snap crackle pop LP's. Listen to " Make The World Go Away" by Timi. RIP Ms. Timi Yuro and Dean Martin, and to Mom and Dad.❤

@roncarnes5724 Год назад

Thinking someone is black/white has nothing to do with how well or powerful they sing. Robert Plant has a powerful voice, but no one thinks he's black. It has to do with the timbre of each voice, and qualities within different timbres that are normally associated with black or white vocals.

The band was originally called "red", at one of their early gigs the stage announcer ask Mick for the bands name to which Mick replied Red but the announcer didn't hear him properly so asked Mick again to which Mick replied its just simply red so the announcer announced them on stage as Simply Red and the name stuck.

The Beatles , Thin Lizzy , Black Sabbath , The police , Nirvana and so so many more , probably would have to take time to sit and gather to hear all.... but that is why we have fires , so every tale can be told for centuries to remember and now , we have songs , but why not have Both ...peace

@lumpyfishgravy Год назад

Hold on. Northern Soul was a taste not a genre. Musically a revival of US RnB & Soul in clubs of Northern (mainly NW) England. It was also about the drug that fueled the all-nighters - and the identifying fashion. Like I said - a taste. It did however give birth to the dance-soul fusion of the late 70s-80s and from there, the Baggy sound, Madchester and so on.

@pjm8779 Год назад

I love it when music unexpectedly shows you your incorrect mindset. Not to say Lex is racist or something, that's not what im saying at all, but it's funny what our minds say someone looks like based on the music they produce. I to have been guilty of believing a perfmorer is one race or another only to be proven wrong. It's a wide wolrd we live in and learning more about it every day is the spice of life. This was a fun video to watch.

Reminds me of my childhood. My mum blasted simply red all throughout the 90s.

Saw these guys live twice in the late 80s, they were fantastic, it was like being at a jazz performance. And great t-shirt Brad!

So poetic and introspective. Strangled by the wishes of pater. Hoping for the arms of mater. Get to me the sooner or later. Mick wrote this at 17! Such an amazing song that stands the test of time.

Such a great song...but you look at that guy, and you never would expect that voice to come out of him. So much soul.

Try "Money's too tight to mention" by Simply Red, it's a banger and upbeat.

Typically, many people are surprised to hear that voice coming from that face.

Watching this now, I havnt seen it since it came out when i was about 11. Never really liked Simply Red but seeing this gave me goosebumps for some reason, brings back lots of memories. Funny how music can do that to you.

On Mick not being black, let me quote Stevie Wonder: "Oh, you mean George (Michael) was white?"

I’m stunned to keep witnessing the young Reaction People’s shock to find out that the singers to which they are listening to for the first time are White? We grew up hearing and loving them because they were great not knowing what color they were? Kudos to your mama for her exquisite taste in music and elated that you are able to feel what your mother felt! Rock on. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
