Simply Red - The Story Of Stars (Documentary)

[@Barrymccockiner41]

It blows me away that this amount of talent is even possible.

[@traceypeyton7968]

I am a few years younger than Mick and I liked Simply Red in college and their songs were always in the background of my life. Fast forward to today. Its Christmas Day 2024 and I am alone. I have been listening to Simply Red albums and watching interviews all week and today. And while I am a little sad, all is right with the world because of Mick, his music and his outlook. Thank you Mick ❤

[@wolfgamemusicvideo4532]

I'm 37 as of New Years eve 2024, and last Summer my brother and I discovered Simply Red, his first album, and we've been massive fans ever since, his music is truly special and has a unique sound 🥂

[@jeannetteestrada9107]

Love, love, him. I still listen to his music everyday. 2024

[@jannetteconley2677]

My life is better because of the music of Simply Red…..the world is a better place because of the music of Simply Red.

[@nataliyakolesnik1671]

Mick has a an amazing voice, but that's not why I love him. The way he delivers his songs is truly unique, very deep. His love for life is contagious and is a part of his charisma. Thank you, Mick!

[@DeeAlCooper]

Hucknall embodied a better time in all of our lives.

[@Hartyboy1987]

Every time I hear this Man sing it takes me back to such a happier time sitting in the Car with my Mum and Dad and asking if they could put Simply Red on when we were going to see relatives. So whenever I feel so down that life is a fight which is often I sit back put one of his songs on and go back to that happier time. Thank you Mr Huncknell for making that possible your the best!!

[@J5L5M6]

Ditto, with love from The States.

[@lesliebecton9916]

Lovely comment, Hartyboy.

[@Hartyboy1987]

@@eshaibraheem4218 Thank you, means a lot for people to read my comment and care enough to reply.

[@jpallen719]

I’m gonna tell you right now ‘holding back the years’ is probably my favorite song of my lifetime. It is a timeless. That will endure long after I’m gone it puts you in a mood that cannot be explained…….you ride that melody……

[@marikaschmidt-csanyi9844]

Big love Mick and Symply Red for 35 years❤❤❤❤❤

[@wrightsong]

Red hair with blue eyes, deep bass and high falsettos... This man is full of extremes!

[@dkpianist]

Except he's not exactly singing bass.

[@localmotion2035]

Mick is the face, Simply Red is the Band. Anyone who's into music as a fan and as a musician and the likes knows that.

[@vidaldominguez3149]

Than you Mr. Huncknell for giving us your beautiful music. God bless you always.

[@kml223]

I can not completely explain how much Mick's voice hits my heart. He shows so much emotion in every song he sings. He is only one man with all this talent that will NEVER be like any other. Mick's passion for his artistic music is one of a kind. This man has so much talent. Love you❤Mick.

[@karen-bethrynk8875]

I love Simply Red! His singing is so effortless. I get chills whenever I hear them!

[@cheznardi]

So true! There is just something about his vibe! The voice and lyrics👍🏾❤️

[@marjtomas959]

I lived in London England in the early 90’s with my mummy, its one of the best time in my life. Hearing Mick’s songs reminds me of the best time with my mum especially the song STAR. It’s SIMPLY the BEST ♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️

[@mariafietta6864]

Mick is superb. His timbre is unique and his voice is so clear and attractive. I love ALL songs by Simply Red. 🤩🎶🎆⭐🎼

[@seansherrod8725]

Shaun Ward's bass work on this album is absolutely PHENOMENAL and STILL ranks HIGH on my list of AWESOME performances!

[@terrigodfrey8260]

He has a voice like no other. Wonderful band and music.

[@carolelerman9686]

Thanks for all the wonderful songs and concerts Mick. You are one of kind . Enjoy the rest of your beautiful life. A Fan Forever.

[@HermanSJPot]

The Cuban performance was very moving and beautiful. His beautiful voice and the orchestra was magic!

[@taniafernandes5494]

Thank you for existing and making us happy with your voice, and your wonderful songs 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@MGuate]

Many years ago, I went to Mexico city for one of their concerts with my Mom, and she had never heard about them. When I turn to see her to my right sight she was crying and I thought Wau, this is really amazing moment in my entire life a Simply Red efect and that feeling will stay inside of me, for the rest of my life...... with love. Simply Fan!!

[@luciasimidamore7694]

I love Mick ❤

[@chrisconway388]

Amazing dance tracks along with drum n bassist, Michael give me a bell 😇

[@johnrichardson5713]

Stars was and still is an absolute beast of an album, to think it came out 30 years ago scares the shit out of me!!

[@bri-annaedwardine1697]

yeah!

[@aema5124]

Holding Back the Years was the 1st song from Simply Red that I heard 1 year ago. Loved it from then when I was 71 yrs Young! Mick is fantastic!! ❤🎶🎼🥰

[@selectorbenyo3300]

Seeing him singing Model again made it for me. Give us a Reggae album Mick!!!

[@janetuzoma3959]

Well, he has simply accomplished wonderful music for the next generation and beyond. He is a great musician.

[@escott5839]

His voice is soothing and his songs reflective. Holding Back The Years was the breath of fresh air that brought cool and uplifting songs. I have many favourites, yet I always get lost within the magic of Stars. Thank you Mick for the music and hope a tour will bring you Montreal.

[@joyrider8882]

I like the way he took a Hall and Oats song and made it a new song, with the way he arranged the beginning, with a surprise.

[@dbyd777]

MEGA underrated group of exceptional musicians. I flew to London for their last last concert at the O2 in December 2010 when the band took their last break and the memory that they seared in my mind, will stay w me until the end of days in a very special place.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

I wouldn’t say underrated, they grew steadily from 1985 Picture Book, and by Stars were one the biggest and most popular bands in the world. Mick got rid of the band in the mid 90s and to me sank into blandness. He’s still a great singer. The first three albums and all the B-sides from them are superb and essential. From 1985 to 1990 is the best of the Simply Red story you’ll ever need. Stars became too commercial, a bit like corn flakes.

[@maryreffner3955]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@TanyaKatherine]

@dbyd777 I wonder what that concert was like in London. Seared in the mind? Wow. It must have been life changing.

[@fhmmst]

colourful he is as is his wonderful music.❤ you'll surely live forever amongst us darling. Thank you the music & the charm you brought along.

[@jurgenstech9680]

Sinply Red sind für mich die schönen Erinnerungen an die Achtziger ,mit all der Romantik und der neuen Freiheit ! Danke 🙏Respekt

[@LuisGarcia-bs6uv]

Simply Red is my favorite band, Stars it´s an Amazing Album, every song its full of magic, it´s Perfect, Congratulations Mick and all members of the band….Simply The Best, Cheers from Mexico City ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@jeffro4kag206]

It's a feeling of hanging on every second when Mic's performing, because you don't want to miss anything he does. Then, the band is so damn good.

[@freebird3178]

At the only gig ,so far,l've been to,l felt at one with everyone there,on and off stage.l just can't imagine heaven being any better than this

[@paulsmith5720]

RIP Big Fritz MacIntyre. Great band and thanks for posting.

[@marylousepulveda2917]

Mick/ Simply Red ❤️ He is The Greatest Artist !!! Love His Voice!!!

[@acbc3543]

Mick ... You have been part of my life in so many ways and I do hope one day you will sing here in Austin Texas . You have no idea how much we love you . Love, Claudia, Austin Texas

[@АлексейРутковский-ъ1д]

First song I heard from Simply Red was Home. I thought “it’s something strange, something I’ve never listened”. And then it was Stars...it was kind of lightning and I fell in love with Simply red without any compromise. Incredible voice and incredible melodiousness!

[@paulajorquera7107]

To me, they are the greatest band of all time, I am in love w all their song

[@andrear.bordon9357]

I loved SimplyRed, i loved Stars, my favorite album, i loved all about this band. ♡♡♡

[@pablov1973]

Excellent documentary. I'm 47 and "Stars" have been with me since I have 18 and each day I love more and more that record. In fact I deeply known Simply Red by listen "Stars" and after that I started to buy the previous album from which I only know the singles. The entire "Stars" album is a masterpiece, from the beginning to the end, but if I have to choose a song that I have to tell someone "please, listen to this", I should choose "Your Mirror". One more thing, and I believe that have to do with the way the songs were created, this album can be a background music on a pub and will please everybody ears or turn up the volume of your system at home and feel the power of each individual track.

[@guerillabeachholland4504]

I just love how Gota Yashika plays the drums for Something got me started, he really seems to have so much enjoyment of playing the drums, always cheers me up. Great producer

[@markbeeman6894]

Pure genius on production of holding back the years. A song can’t get deeper. Song of the century!

[@michalpitowsky]

I was only seven when this album came out and I loved it. I used to listen to it on my walkman, and one day my folks asked me what I was listening to. We palyed it on a car trip, and they where kind of shoked. They expected some pop band, and suddenly these groovy piano and insane saxsophone and Mick's sexy totally grown up voice. They were like "OK kid..." years past, and I am proud of that kid choosing this music, that is both highly skilled and timeless.

[@Z0yxx]

Great story 😊🙌

[@garbantibus]

Avevamo vent’anni insieme e insieme stiamo invecchiando. E adoro sempre di più questa musica sempre attuale con un fuoriclasse come Mick a cantarla ❤

[@carolreed5944]

Micks love of life and music comes through in his lyrics, music composition and delivery. He feels the music and the fans feel it. It is a party of give and take. See you in 2025! Mick and SR!

[@gigihabib]

Mick is a magical creature from the Isle of Avalon - I am pretty sure of that!

[@vijaysinghdesimone2337]

Still the best as far as I'm concerned! Such an amazingly special voice that never fails to deliver no matter what the the song! Thanks Mick and Simply for always making me happy when I listen to your music...

[@ginahaycock2107]

Looking forward to seeing you next year 2025 40th anniversary in Birmingham October can't wait have loved your music right from the start 1985 you have the most amazing voice mick l am 62 xxx

La storia di Stars è molto interessante, l'album favoloso come tutta la band e Mick artista unico ❤❤❤

[@dalvamelodeoliveira6092]

Love you Mick ❤️ Love Simply Red 👍💚🇧🇷💛

[@NPGLAMB]

He was my favorite singer when I was 5. I could not stop asking my dad to play his CDs

[@freebird3178]

How lucky you are to have grown up with this music

[@coconutgrovemusicnz]

RIP Fritz McIntyre. Massive respect to you from New Zealand. Condolences to your family. This doco is gold full stop. I have the DVD and have damn near worn it out!

[@freebird3178]

Me too!❤️💋

[@mariarosarizzo9146]

God bless him!❤️ Such a great musician!

[@trevord59]

seen Mick live on several ocasions and he was outstanding each time, last time was at a winery outside Sydney some friends came that were not neccesarily fans and were blown away

[@starduster2829]

I'm very glad that this is the type of music my parents would play in the car on journeys. Mick has such a distinct voice and his vocals hold up whether live or in the studio. I'd have to say Fairground is my favourite of their songs. Poor Chris though. At least he's not the only person who's lost a job due to a computer doing their job better.

[@paulsmith5720]

Well said and great comment.

[@peacesetordzie2520]

Much love from Ghana Simply Red!❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭😀

[@v.a.993]

The first album remains my favorite. It was soulful and earthy, no offense to the latter musicians. Of all the albums, Picturebook is the definitive classic for Simply Red. From Jericho to Holdin' Back the Years to Come To My Aid To their cover of Money's Too Tight To Mention, all excellent and timeless and perfect!

[@mksland3884]

What a brilliant song writer and singer. How For Your Babies solicited such feelings from his muse is awesome!

[@debbyhateley6747]

Went to both these amazing concerts 25yrs apart , what u hear is what it was like live ... i was in front row , abs loved them since day one... amazing band x

[@creolecherokee7894]

Love 💖 Mick, Simple Red 🎶 is the best...💕I ALWAYS remember listening to his music 🎶 and LOVE how Mick✨ is VERY diverse with his music... Blue Eye Soul...🌺

[@rickjones257]

This Band is Awesome. They definitely deserve a Comeback. 👍👍👍

[@TheAntiTryhard]

[@shiamakhangout4136]

ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC MELODIES AND SONGS I HAVE GROWN UP ON !! GOD BLESS AND STARS IS AN OUTTA WORLD SONG LITERALLY !!!!! They are from another planet 🌏!! Unbelievable melodies

[@chrisconway388]

Never retire I’ve got chills up my back for this ❤

[@hunnieluvs]

When you can listen to someone’s music that moves your inner core and make you feel Alive , of course Chills too then you know you hit a Gold Mine.. Simply Red does just that and then some for me♥️Thank you 🙏🏻♥️

Brasil salutes Simply Red! Abraços do Brasil. Stars is magnificent!

[@bobbiewallace4008]

I agree I absolutely love him and his songs and am so happy his life turned out so great.

[@upendasana7857]

I think I have become a new Simply Red fan,I knew their hits but tbh after seeing their live concerts uploaded in YT I am a complete convert and have now bought their back catalogue.To be honest I had no idea just how good Mick was and the astounding group of musicians he has gathered around him.Simply fantastic is all I can say.I think I may have been put off by his personna and the whole model/cocaine lifestyle possibly.I don't know what it is about blokes who often are not that hot but once they become famous they always have these model types hanging around but both parties are obviously getting something from it so....

[@freebird3178]

I'm a new Dan too.lt's all about the music.Obe say he will retire,and that's that.wgat a lot of musical memories we'll have.Nir just yet though!❤️💋

[@marisacoppolino2368]

Beautiful music, beautiful documentary! Thank you Simply Red!

I liked Simply Red before I went to a concert. Looked forward to hear the five songs I liked but didn’t really expect a lot. I was BLOWN away by the sound quality. Now I fckn LOVE Simply Red 😍🥰. Mick Hucknall is a real star.
