@@ianmcgrath4170 Hey there! Honestly, I do not remember but thanks for the reminder! 😁 I will look into it and see what I can do! Thanks for hanging out and have a great day!

[@ianmcgrath4170]

@@setonhillstudios I mentioned it on your reaction of The Sweet,,Ballroom Blitz.

[@chrisreed3656]

This song is about Mick Hucknall's troubled childhood. His mother left when he was about 3 years old and left him with a father whom he didn't really get along with. He always hoped his mum would come home, but she never did. I think that's where the line about all those wasted tears and wasted years comes from.

[@ianmcgrath4170]

Mike Hucknall wrote this when he was 17 years old,and where he got the name Simply Red is because he supports Manchester United which are called the Reds,this was his first hit song in 1985 from the wonderful album Picture Book,best wishes from Scotland.

[@skylarkn8701]

This has been one of my favorite songs for 40 years. Love Mick’s voice. Also love Simply Red’s song “Stars” definitely a must listen to.

[@kellypickle]

Mick still sounds exactly like this. It is incredible.

[@dorindacunningham9452]

Elvis was in the Army for 2 yrs and when he came back he started making movies, so in 1968 he wanted to start doing music, but he was afraid that people wouldnt like him anymore. So he had a tv special.1968 come back special.

[@albertscanlon2005]

So true...soulful ballad and what a voice from Mick Hucknall...Big hit from the 80s. Great reaction again

[@stevecrisell108]

Soul Has No Colour.

[@faxcapper]

I've love that song from the 1st time I heard it.

[@belvagurr403]

After Queen, Simply Red is my go to for fabulous music. Mick’s voice is the stuff that dreams are made of

[@jameswormington9978]

Was fortunate enough to see him live with backstage passes ... the dude can sing !!!

[@spacecardinal]

My favorite concert ever! The band was playing perfectly. Love all his stuff. 40 years ago?

[@spacecardinal]

Lucky person.

[@AnaRafaelaDionísio]

It's a heartache, Holding out for a hero

[@incensejunkie7516]

One of my favourite 80s songs. Beautifully melancholic. I really like Simply Red's music. Saw them back in Toronto in the late 80's. They didn't disappoint.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

What a voice

[@SharilynBratton]

Still one of my favorite songs even all these decades later since I first heard it.

[@setonhillstudios]

Such a great tune!! 🔥

[@jessejamessimons483]

All right brother Stephen.... Simply Red certainly has great music. I highly recommend "Sunrise" the official video. Fasten your seatbelt when you react to it ‼️💯🔥😁👍🏻

[@jobill8487]

and "Stars"

[@taniaPBear]

This is such a beautifully crafted song, along with the stunning vocals, never gets old. ✌❤

[@tonybaker55]

Mick Hucknall. Some of the film location was in Whitby, North Yorkshire, famous for ruined Whitby Abbey, that inspired the writing of Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Stars album and single is a great start Steven.

[@Thesmokymountainman]

As a young Rocker I didn’t appreciate this type of music, but now I’m thankful to have the opportunity to revisit this era. The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics is one you should check out either here or in your personal time.

[@setonhillstudios]

It’s on the channel! It is incredible and definitely moving!

[@birgittalagerstrom6264]

He is one of my favorites among others in the 80s ❤ I wath MTV then and it was all music videos. I know you should love another song. Midnight oil.😊

[@janawebb6490]

Simply red has so many amazing songs he has one of the best voices ever

[@setonhillstudios]

Definitely can’t wait to check out more! This is such a beautiful song! 🎶

[@RiverSong5683]

Check out Stars. Mick Hucknull still sings this and all his hits and just as well. Live he’s also just as great, especially in the early ‘90s.

[@Kevin-i6t5i]

Back then I was mostly southern rock, hard rock listener, but this is one of those songs that got my attention, wow, what a voice.

[@setonhillstudios]

I know right! Such a killer voice! 🔥

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia-The group's frontman Mick Hucknall wrote the song when he was 17, while living at his father's house. In a 2018 interview, Hucknall said the song was inspired by a member of the teaching staff at Manchester School of Art, where Hucknall was a fine-art student: the lecturer suggested the greatest paintings are produced when the artist is working in a stream of consciousness, which Hucknall then tried to apply to songwriting - "Holding Back the Years" was the second song he wrote using this method

[@SuperKevin57]

One of the best effects in music is a muted trumpet.

[@lizmarch4000]

I know !! why is that?? it just guts me.

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Wow SteVen, you've hit the hat trick today. 3 top tunes. Simply Red were HUGE back in the late 80's & 90's. So many great songs. "A New Flame" 1989/ "Stars" 1991/ "Fairground" 1995/ "For Your Babies" 1992.....& more. ♥️🎼

[@TheRealReTox]

Check out 'Stars' from them, the drums are so good and the bass is locked, it's a fantastic pocket I think you'll appreciate.

[@gordonfisher8842]

Watch a live version, his voice is incredible 👍

[@bigmallly7863]

Simply Red Members. Mick Hucknall ; Ian Kirkham; Steve Lewinson; Kenji Suzuki; Kevin Robinson .

[@russellward9662]

Fantastic talent and an awesome song from a great album. I still have this on CD 😁 and in my playlists. So much soul.

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Check out Vienna, A Matter of Trust, River of Dreams, and New York State of Mind for a huge range of Billy Joel’s music.

[@lynnieiapichino1121]

☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥😎😍

[@spacefanatic]

You should listen to their 'Stars'

[@BabsR]

Luckily I am off to whitby on Saturday for a weekend of song and drink. I will look up the couple of views featured on the video. Love your reactions, keep it up. I know you like a song with a story, could I reccomend .the man who can't be moved by.. the script. I know you will love it give it a try

[@RockinMamaT]

Let's Gooooo! Can't say a ginger has no soul 😂Freaking banger. Please check out April Wine..Roller. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏✌️☮️

[@jemxs]

Such a beautifull voice and song!

[@bringmechoc]

Mick Hucknall has a unique voice that is so soulful. I love this song and "If you don't know me by now" is a similar vibe to this. " Other great hits are include a very political song at the time (80's)-Money's too tight to mention. My absolute favourite The Right Thing, Something got me started, Stars, and the absolutely gorgeous song For your Babies. This channel has introduced me to some great new music and also took me down memory lane, enjoying the songs from growing up. Thank you for taking the time to share your love of music

[@setonhillstudios]

Thank you for hanging out on my journey! It is much appreciated! ❤️

[@petertoal371]

Who, when they were coming of age as boy, didn't have a fantasy about an older woman teacher. I can relate to Mick's journey, having left home at 17yrs old and set out to make a life for myself. At eighty one (81) I find this song very nostalgic. "Simply Red" brought a new feel to the popular music scene of the eighties. Genius

[@lisafolmar5321]

So awesome! Check out Money's Too Tight To Mention. ❤

[@SteveQuiroga-qq3rc]

Great song!! But imo Sunrise is a bigger banger!! IMO

[@patst1944]

“American Trilogy” Aloha from Hawaii 1973 concert. “My Way” from same concert. “What Now My Love” from same concert

[@OneOddTodd63]

Mick Bucknell is the lead singer. Although Simoly Red intially broke up (in the 90s, I think) they're together today. Their most recent album was in 2023. I'm not sure how many members are original. Mick is still their vocalist.

[@sarablack2547]

Mick hucknell from Manchester. Yes that was the band playing cricket,sat next to the stairs and getting off the train. Money's too tight to mention (and early song) New flame Something got me started Stars For your babies Fairground. You can tell when the song is in the timeline from the length of Mick's hair lol

[@mikemiller3069]

It's funny that you mentioned "Milly Vannily", but in this case, it was the trumpet player that was "lip syncing". As a former trumpet player, I can tell you that the trumpet in the audio was playing with a mute, which is a thing that is inserted in the bell of the trumpet that gives it more of a kazoo sound. But the trumpet in the video didn't have a mute in it, so he was faking playing it.😂

[@setonhillstudios]

Oh snap!!! 😳 Thanks so much for the insight and so cool you played the trumpet! Such a cool instrument! 🎺

[@jaccilowe3842]

Mick Hucknell knew he was great and ... um, capitalised on his fame with the ladies.

[@Escapee5931]

Try their song "Money's To Tight To Mention" for something more up-tempo.

[@greggroberts9730]

This was a tribute to MLK who was assassinated a few months prior to this live TV event. Elvis insisted this be included in the special and that he end the performance with it. With the background of the times hanging over Elvis and our nation I often rate this as the best musical performance ever.

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

Great reaction. Simply Red is a band and the legend that is Mick Hucknall is the singer. He actually lived round the corner from me going up in a place called Denton, Manchester UK. His father worked as a Barber in Stockport. His mother left when he was very young and he wrote this song as his troubles with that and being brought up by his father on the poverty line when he was 17. His voice is amazing and you should check the live version to this when Mick got to play at his beloved Old Trafford Ground (Manchester United Football Team .... the "Red"s). I attach link. The song is from about 40:50 minutes in but it is a MUST DO. He's got so many hits and his voice is as good as it is today as back then. Natural born talent, like our other UK gem "Queen". Stay safe from Manchester UK kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXXGi42chM2CppY
