    Mick Hucknall (the singer) wrote the song when he was just 17 years old. Amazing! Maggie I'd suggest also watching the original video with a much younger Mick singing. It was how the world was introduced to Simply Red.

  • @LednacekZ
    @LednacekZ 10 месяцев назад +27

    just remember he is 60+ in this concert. and this song is usually sang in the second half. he is active professional singer for over 40 years.

    You have to listen to him sing this when he was younger. His voice was so much stronger. Always loved this song. Plus listen to him sing "You Make Me Feel Brand New."

    You are really missing out if you've never heard Sade (pronounced Sha-Day). Her vocal style is not flashy or overly technical. But her voice is ultra smooth and emotionally charged, and her songwriting is top notch.

    • @jessieball6195

      Good, but certainly not better than the studio (album) version. Live versions rarely are.

  • @jeffhensley6929
    @jeffhensley6929 10 месяцев назад +12

    Another great reaction, Maggie. Sadé is a smooth bluesy singer from about that same era. “Smooth Operator” and “Sweetest Taboo” are probably her best known songs. She’d definitely be worth a look-see. 😎

    • @captainklutz3427

    Thank You for a well done video! I was searching for this song, I havent heard it in years, and Your Video came up first. I have enjoyed your videos and comments before, so I did not hesitate to click on it! I was not that familiar with Simply Red, except for hearing his two hit songs here in the US, thanks to you I have a new respect for him and his music. I Love the parts you like and when you rewind. We get to hear the parts all over again, THANK YOU. Love Your channel, love your videos, cant wait to see and hear another!

    Wow. Was not expecting this reaction either. All of that setlist I sponsored made it to the channel. Who knew?!?! I loved this song so much in my younger days. So happy Mick's voice has held up through the years. For those who are asking. Maggie has indeed reacted to Sade since this was recorded.

    I saw Simply Red a couple of years ago. Just hit after hit after hit. And that voice!
    And as I walked out of the London O2, a woman near me said, "He's put on a bit if weight, hasn't he?"
    Some people you just can't please.

  • @andykennan7259

    I think the term “Simply Red” comes from when he was asked what football team he supported being from Manchester and nothing to do with his hair colour 😊

    Apparently, the original name of the band was "Red" but at one of their first gigs the emcee asked what the name of the band was and they said "Red", the emcee responded "Red what" and they responded "Simply Red". They go to get on stage and they were announced as "Simply Red". That name became so popular they kept it.

Sade, a Nigerian British star from the 80's, is COMPULSORY listening! "Sweetest Taboo", "Smooth Operator", or "Jezebel" are all excellent starters - I'll be first in line to sponsor a Sade reaction video!
