SIMPLY RED - simply marvellous!

Dedicated 2 MarySharon yes

Somebody very close to me said she'd never seen a thread in this forum dedicated to one of the most talented bands ever, Simply Red.

Fronted by singer/songwriter Mick Hucknall, Simply Red were, much like Prince, a melting pot for numerous musical styles - blending them all together to create an original sound which tantalizes the heart & mind.

"Holding Back The Years", "It's Only Love", "You've Got It", "Say You Love Me", "Remembering The First Time", "Stars", "Never Never Love", "Something Got Me Started"...these are just a handful of some of the most amazing songs the world has ever known.

You haven't heard any of them? - omg Imagine what you're missing.

For those who DO know, please, stand up & recognise & discuss this great group & their music.

Peace & love to you*

Oh yeah some great covers of very old songs. Mick has that soothing sound 4sho. I saw him live 1ce and was in awe. Great songs 4 lovers, but any1 can listen 2 it. Hell, he even takes a Barry White song and turns it into gold. Definitely a lover @ heart. Thank Mick.

He didn't write any of the songs himself did he? mayb i am wrong, but yeah i knew he did a Barry no. Does that 1 well. I was overseas in europe in 1999 and really liked the way he came across, image-wise, he had was all dressed in black. Whereas i recently purchased a dvd of him and he is prancing around in some pyjama...this kinda disappointed me personally as i liked him looking like he did, BUT the songs r alwasy fucking great and he does them with such little effort and charisma. Make no mistake he is GOOD. Great 4 lovemakin'

holding back the years
thinking of the fear i've had so long
when somebody hears
listen to the fear that's gone

strangled by the wishes of pater
hoping for the arms of mater
get to meet her sooner or later

i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on

holding back the years
chance for me escape from all i've known
holding back the tears
cause nothing here has grown
i've wasted all my tears
wasted all those years
and nothing had the chance to be good
nothing ever could

i'll keep holding on
i'll keep holding on

that's all i have today
that's all i have to say



great song!
