When this came out many said that it's way too commercial for SR. Similar attitude has been reoccurring for long time. 80ties Prince, Police - 70ties Rock, Stevie Wonder, jazz rock - 60 Beatles, James Brown - Bebop - Swing - Ragtime. People often hate next generation's music, however they often forget that generation before them hate their music as much and often enjoy everything before or even after.. For example, Galt MacDermot being over 80 hates late seventies music, but loves hip hop.
Another Great Simply Red..This and Stars are some ,if not there best work! Danced to this in the German clubs in the Army as well. Different version. This one is ok ,but NOT as good as the original! But you cannever go wrong with Simply Red!! OH Yeah,I am from The US but have been all around the world and KNOW what good music is!
I saw this and thought: This can't be as good as Swingfly's. It's still good, and he has a great voice. Not quite the tone that I like in my music, though.
Not in all cases..... This 67 year old granny from Florida thiks this guy ROCKS!!!!! He always has and hasn't lost a thing. Goooooooooooooooooo Reddddddddd
It is the music companies and their executives, who rule on what to put out there for the USA. They are a bunch of twits who are out of touch with the mainstream . Please don't catagorize all of us as brainwashed . I know what I like and I buy what I like. Simply Red and Gino Vannelli are my favorites.
I hear this with a steel drum and latin flute bringing the fire from the smouldering soul. Excellent music and can't stand still. I feel life in these notes.
"The states" are full of brain-washed teenagers (and 30- and 40-year-olds who still think they're teenagers) who like what they're told to like. We ignore truly cool music like Simply Red (and Hothouse Flowers, my personal favourite) but we make pop gods out of musical pablum like Justin Timberlake.
(I really should eat something: I'm not normally this bitter and bitchy.)
@jlmww - Not all of us in "The States" are sheep. Most of us were raised listening to good music and seek it out. I myself, happen to be a huge fan of actual musicians and ignore anyone who uses Autotune or who can't actually sing. There are thousands of artists (key word, artist) that I listen to that all share this quality. Please don't lump us all in one group - yes, there are musical morons here but there are also those of us who can appreciate Simply Red as well as others...
@jlmww that is truly the most ignorant post I have read today! And yes I do live in the great United States! Opinions are kinda like butt-hole's aren't they--- we all have one!
That you don't recognize Justin Timberlake's talent tells me you haven't listened to his albums. You should have written "Jonas Brothers" or "Justin Beiber". Does not apply to Justin Timberlake, as great a pop artist as Al Green, Roberta Flack, Sly Stone.
@jlmww always when I watch these kinds of vids I see people frustrated that this is not the dominating kind of music. Trust me, EVERY kind of music is good when done right (yep even Justin made some nice beats). I listen to all kinds of music, and imo there is no such thing as bad music, there is only something like a narrow sense of taste.
@LOLDISNEYLAND unfortunately Americans take whatever is shoved down their throats by the media! No taste, no brains, and no wonder! This band stirs the awe within that makes me want to live!
@jlmww I'm a 41 year old American who has loved Simply Red since I was 13 years old, and that will never change. Although I agree with some of your sentiment, please realize that we're not all lemmings.
true legend even now simply red are awesome this bands special considering its one of the few bands me and my dad like. Although its a bit weird me listening to this stuff I'm more slipknot, ACDC, kinda guy but simply red are awesome
I was in a little bar in Key West, Florida and was listening to an absolutely fantastic vocalist. Asked him if he could sing something by S.R. His reply, "no, I couldn't do Mick justice." Higher praise, I think not.....
I'm glad Mick finally dropped the Simply Red name as they haven't sounded like Simply Red since the Stars album. I agree with helenred1 the early stuff is the best especially those first 3 albums!
simon cowell exploits musicians for his own profits and Mick publicly criticizes him for that. That's why cowell has a go. The Duke of Edinburgh calls cowell a 'sponger' which is a funny way of saying the same thing!
I dont know where people are getting the idea that that is Brazil...it's clearly Cuba; check the architecture and the band of old men are playing traditinal salsa,etc instruments.
Its Havana, Cuba. I'm Brazilian and I know this is nowhere in Brazil even though it may seem like it. The telltale sign that this is Havana, Cuba is all the old 1950s and 60s cars, around the time Castro came into power and not letting anything ir or out, not even new cars! =) PLUS, that cement wall along the water is the famous 'Malecon', or Coastal Boulevard that stretches about several miles along the water.
