To be honest I'm not a big Simply Red fan - I just haven't listened to all that much stuff and never owned an album - but like most of us who were around in the 80s/90s in the UK it's part of the scenery. For whatever reason I had this song in my head today and so I've gone on youtube to listen to it.. and I came across this. Wow! I might have passed up the next time I could have seen Mick Hucknall performing because he's been off the radar for so long - but having heard this, I'm surprised in the good way - he was always an incredible singer and it sounds like he's one of the few who hasn't lost the magic stuff over these past decades.

Music doesn't make sense any longer? It's all down hill from there. I think I urge you to check out Jason Mraz. If you're not familiar with his work, he's more of a singer/songwriter. When I watch him perform you can just tell he's just happy to be there. His voice is fantastic! Live performances sound exactly like the studio recording. Listen to I'm Yours and if it doesn't make you smile then you don't have a soul! 😉

Oh and he used to come for a curry in this back street curry house in Back turner st, Manchester. He’d just sit there with his mate and say hi to us as he walked in.... the curry house was a right dive but the food was top notch... that was 1988-90....lol
