Simply Red - Greatest Hits

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Pop-soulful in an archaic, '60s manner; mildly provocative at the time of their appearance due to singer Mick Hucknall's uncloseted status; Simply Red are global superstars masquerading as an urban sophisticate cult item. Fans from the U.K. and other countries already know this. But in the States we don't quite believe that a group like this can be suave without being cheesy. America, here's your proof once again: the No. 1 smashes "Holding Back the Years" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now," packed with a smattering of overseas chart hits. But where's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye?" If you like this one, also try Picture Book, the band's 1985 debut. --Gavin McNett

5 out of 5 stars SIMPLY RED.......2007-05-08

I have enjoyed the music greatly. I purchased it because whenever I go to San Francisco I put it on and it mellows me out.

4 out of 5 stars Simply Red and the Best!.......2006-10-17

Simply Red was truly a British band of the 1980s. They were introduced to me by Music Television or MTV as it was known to release first with the single "Holding Back The Years," or was it "If you Don't Know Me By Now." "Stars" is also a classic from their heyday. There are other songs that I am not too familiar with like "Money's Too Tight To Mention," "The Right Thing," "It's Only Love," "A New Flame," "You've Got It," "Something Got Me Started," "Thrill Me," "Your Mirror," "For Your Babies," "So Beautiful," "Angel," and "Fairground." Simply Red like most of the bands of the 1980s had their own sound and style. Love the red hair color on the singer and always wondered if it was natural.

5 out of 5 stars Cool album!.......2006-09-05

I heard a lot of these songs at my place of employment over the satellite feed. I just realized that frontman Mick Hucknall has a voice like Jefferson Airplane/Starship's Marty Balin. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW is an excellent cover that was made famous by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes in 1972. HOLDING BACK THE YEARS is somewhat jazzy(I heard it before on jazz stations). MONEY'S TOO TIGHT TO MENTION is awesome. STARS is pretty cool also. When I first heard FOR YOUR BABIES,I thought it was Balin singing. That's why I said he and Hucknall are soundalikes. The other songs are great!

4 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful.......2006-08-24

Sure I had heard a few of the songs, but rest of the songs on this album are equally wonderful. Mick Hucknall is a great singer and I would to see him live.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Red is awesome!.......2006-02-25

This album is a collection of Simply Red's best. It is a great album - would recommend it to anyone who has liked any one of their songs. "Stars" is the best song for me; no matter how many times I've listened to it in the past n years, it is the best. "Something Got Me Started", "Fairground" are also excellent.
