MASTERPIECE from 1985 first simply red album ❤

[@IceManLikeGervin]

An extra tite reaction 🔧💸 ! It is a very critical thinking soulful song speaking on a universal real life issue that anyone can relate with. I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Simply Red before: Holding Back The Years and Stars. Money's Too Tight (To Mention) was released as the second single from Simply Red's 1991 album: Stars. The song was written by John Valentine and William Valentine. It was produced by Stewart Levine. The song reached #2 on the Dance chart, #28 on the Hot 100 and #13 on the UK Singles chart. The music video was directed by Tony Van Den Ende. The song was originally recorded by The Valentine Brothers in 1982. The song was featured in the 2002 film 📽: 24 Hour Party People.
The song is about a guy going through some tough times financially, but getting no help from friends, family, or the bank. Many people would love to help, but are in the same position he is. America was going through a recession at the time, which triggered the song's lyric. "Our overall objective was to bring messages in our music that were in tune with what's going down today", Billy Valentine said. "That's certainly what's happened with 'Money's Too Tight'".
The Valentine Brothers had been through some financial hardship that helped inspire the lyric. When they moved from Ohio to Los Angeles, they had trouble getting a good job in the industry, so they took a lot of club gigs. They hooked up with the touring production of The Wiz in 1977 as musicians and understudies (Billy for The Wiz, John for the Tin Man). When the production closed in 1979, they once again struggled to make ends meet. Their first, self-titled, album was released later that year, and three years later their album: First Take, featuring the song: "Money's Too Tight", was issued.
In The Valentine Brothers original song, they mention "Reaganomics", which is the term for then US president Ronald Reagan's economic policies. Instead of altering the line, Simply Red doubled down on the Ronald Reagan bashing, with Mick Hucknall repeating these lines at the end of the song: We're talking about Ronnie Ronnie / Did the earth move for you Nancy?
The song lyric: Nancy, is a reference to then US president Ronald Reagan's wife, then first lady Nancy Reagan.

Fun Fact 🕵‍♂: The lyrics of the song: "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)", concern a person with economic problems, and mention Reaganomics, a set of economic policies implemented by then US president Ronald Reagan in order to encourage the growth of the American economy but did the exact opposite making the rich even more richer and the poor even more poorer.
