I met this singer once here New York City. He was walking in Times Square and my buddy from England was visiting and went up to him and my friend talked to him for like five minutes and Simply Red just had a chat with him like bros. It's amazing how humble this singer is and kind.
I just took a stroll down memory lane. In 1989, my son was not yet 2 years old and he loved this song. It would come on the radio and you could hear him come running, then he would just sway to the music. Good times💜
At 72, as I am, you've listened to a whole of music in your time, but some things stick and this song and Hucknall's voice are unforgettable. Thank you for reacting so positively to this track. Robert, UK.
You get it! When this album first came out, I listened to the entire album over and over again! I’m still not sick of it. Just really beautiful music. 🥰🥰🥰
A little bit of trivia for you, the lead singer Mick Hucknall is from Manchester England, and he is a massive Manchester United fan, there nickname is the red devils, the band simply red is named after Manchester United, he use to have a nightclub in Miami called REDS.
You might remember it from when your older family members listened to it. It's a cover of the original song by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. An excellent cover!👍🏾👵🏿🙆🏾♀️🎶🤗
This song kind of brings tears to my eyes a little little bit because it’s just so long ago and it’s such a great song and people don’t know about it. I’m glad people are starting to learn about it. It’s a great song.
I love Simply Red, Mick Hucknel has a wonderful voice full of emotion and what a fantastic voice. I am so glad you feel like I do about the song, the band and the amazing singer Jayvee. I enjoyed watching and my head was moving too lol, I was singing (awfully lol) with Mick and this was one of the last bands I saw. The last was Meatloaf another wonderful singer. A band I would like to suggest is nothing like I have heard you play, they are from the beautiful Ireland and they are Clannad, they are all great singers and they harmonise so well. The ladies have voices like Angels and I think you will like them sweetheart. Keep the lovely songs coming please my friend. Take care and stay safe please everyone Mary-Ellen UK
I remember when this song was on the radio in 1989 but I had no idea it was Simply Red until Many years later when I heard it on the radio agiain in the late 90s and the dj said the name of the song and band. This made me appreciate the song even more because it shows the lead singer can change up his voice to sound very different. I still love this song just as much today. Your reaction was similar to mine. haha
OMG THE NOSTALGIA. Been enjoying going through your vids this evening and so much has taken me back... While other songs were of more significance to me over the years, this was just such a HUGE song to the 80s era. Phwoooo!
So pleased to see reactions to Mick Hucknall - one of my favourite artists, definitely underrated. He has such a soul voice and has so many great songs sung. Thank you so much for your reaction.
@@jodaviddagoat389 He is INCREDIBLE! A friend of mine ran into him in LA in the 90s- yelled out of her car- "We love u Red!" He waved & said- "Luv u too, luv"~😅
I've had the pleasure of seeing simply read several times they're as good live mick hucknall sooo charismatic fabulous glad you're loving it what's not to love ????? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ there are so many fab song for my baby 👶 beautiful
This is why everyone should be open to all music. Think of what you miss when you don’t open up to all music. Love these reactions. These were the songs of my time. Glad you enjoyed it!! 🎼🎶🎼
Great cover and is a credit to the original which is up there with the best of all time. Soul is the name of the game. God bless Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.❤
Even though you have reacted to this song I don't think you will regret watching him live 30 years later. Simply Red - Holding Back The Years (Live at Sydney Opera House)
That is one red headed guy with so much soul in him, always liked him, a beautiful voice!!!
Lots of redhead soul singers
@@Jp-do9ny must be a redhead thing, love it!

That's a good memory Christine xxx
Wow! That kid had soul, from the get go! 😊
Why did my eyes fill with tears reading your post??? Just sooo sweet !!!!
Its originally by Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes in 1972. Then in the 80s Simply Red did it. He did an amazing job.
His voice is so damn distinctive. He tore this song up! 😍

I am 74 female and love to hear Simply Red sing.
His voice is phenomenal.
Simply Red is actually a group, and their music is timeless
I hardly ever like a cover over an original but... I like this one better than the original.
Tony Hernandez it’s actually really close, but I prefer Teddy’s smooth voice
I love the original, but this a as good a cover as you could ever hope for. I like that Simply Red didn't change it too much.
My favorite Simply Red song.
I love this version! Mick Hucknall's voice is just amazing!
His voice is crazy good 😌😍
Agreed. Love the original stuff, but THIS is how you cover a song!
Everything about him is amazing, his voice, his looks, his charisma and stage presence....
Ditto!!! 👌

Mick Hucknall has one of the best soul voices going, I agree with others about 'Money Too Tight To Mention'

Please react to "Stars" by Simply Red. I love this band and have them in my playlist on short rotation. This was a great reaction - thanks!
I saw them live incredible, his voice reaches deep inside you . Love your reactions 😊💙UK.

Yes. You can NOT miss Simply Red "Moneys too tight to mention".
jay willingham yes, I love when he sings it live.
Mick has such a beautiful voice ... You should check out "Stars" and "For Your Babies".
Mick Hucknall has an incredible vocal range. Think it’s around 5 octaves (?) and Fritz McIntyre’s voice is a perfect contrast
This is a beautiful song with amazing vocals. Holding back the years is good bit IMHO this is better. So soulful
Wow! Takes me back to my childhood. Haven't heard this in forever.
This cover is my favorite version, and I can't be swayed.
Mad respect for you listening to this and doing that on this song was a great song great performance he’s amazing
First time i heard Simply Red i was so impressed by his voice and i think this is one of his best sung songs and of course i also know the original !
You might remember it from when your older family members listened to it. It's a cover of the original song by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. An excellent cover!👍🏾👵🏿🙆🏾♀️🎶🤗
Simply red stars is a great tune
Your joy is contagious! Thanks!
I love this song, the cover and original.
You have to react to him singing "You Make Me Feel Brand New." It's just as powerful. WOW!!! It's a cover he did but he really did it justice.
This song kind of brings tears to my eyes a little little bit because it’s just so long ago and it’s such a great song and people don’t know about it. I’m glad people are starting to learn about it. It’s a great song.

Harold Melvin and the blue notes are really, really good!!
I love it when young people discover the great music!!

If i set back and did my list of top 10 male vocalists ever Mick would be right there near the top.A true powerhouse vocalist.
Wonderful Micks voice
I'm so glad you were blown away.. Mick Hucknels voice is just on ANOTHER LEVEL. FO SHO.
Love this song but......the original by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes is the absolute best! What do you think?
🤘❤️🦁so smooth
Both are great, but I like this version better. I never like remakes better, but this is one exception.
@@MrRondonmon Same. But I confess I'm a HUGE SR fan. I grew up on the original though.
Harold Melvin and the blue notes with teddy pendergrass, listen to that
I agree....the original is my favorite by far!
Love this song, always listened to it when I was a kid.
I like that smile on your face 😊
one of best covers of this song. amazing that he sounds the same when he does holding back the years almost 40 years after it was first released.
A favorite song !! I remember the original but I like Simply Red version better, his voice is so good. 😊
So glad you enjoyed this song,Mick is brilliant... so are you xx
"It's Only Love" is a really good jam by "Simply Red". Check it out, you'll see what I mean.
My fave Simply Red song
Marco Aguilar yes I love that song
Great cover and is a credit to the original which is up there with the best of all time. Soul is the name of the game.
God bless Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.❤

JayVee, that song was originally recorded by Herald Melvin & the Blue Notes. Teddy Pendergrass was the lead vocalist.
I was 9 when this came out and I loved it so much that my parents got me a record player and this on vinyl. ❤
You’re definitely getting to some the most valuable pieces from the vault, keep it up my friend. Love this music.
Fall from the stars is Beautiful!!!!! There is a video to! It was originally sang be "Harold Melvin and the Blue notes" Featuring TEDDY Pendergrass.
Harold & Melvin and the Blue Notes with Teddy Pendergrass singing lead on this song is the foshizzle too!
