  • After the black man gets his royalty from the stolen sound foundation should he then have to give a percentage of that money to the creator of the trumpet who made it possible for the black man to create a signature sound on said instrument.

  • OMG that voice is like the finest wine. I am so jealous. Why would I not be so blessed?

  • 1st song in my head today 11:am

  • Probably one if the greatest and purist voices of all time. Sound just as good or if not better LIVE then on record.

  • Anybody know what tuning he is in?

  • @cornbluff1 you mean chord tuning? The song is written in D minor scale: d e f g a Bb c

  • Does anyone know anymore songs with this kind of trumpet? What kind of trumpet is it by the way? I love the sound...

    About this song?! Bloody amazing!!!

  • 20 years later, and he maintains such amazing vocals - stellar!

  • Every time I hear this sone it takes me back where I first heard it. At the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrel Theatre in San Francisco---yes, a strip club---played through a HUGE McIntosh p.a. / repro system. It sounds SO damned good! this song plays, and I remember the girl dancing on the stage, a lithe redhead whos name i dont recall---only the flowing silk sash across her perfect body flowing in the breeze of the fan, against her perfect curves.... precious memories of a young man....

  • @Vinnybrain Salud,amigo! I totally agree with you.I have the same perception you have,the same feeling about this amazingly,celestial song that lifts me so high that I could think I´m floating on the clouds over the San Francisco bay.I used to lived just a few blocks away from the Mitchell Brothers O´Farrel Theatre here in Frisco,on Eddy street to be more precise.

  • hihi Feeling like having a little fun

  • All we can do is keep holding on!

  • I'm impressed. Perfect timing and voice on acoustic. Wow!

  • Amazing lyrics, music and voice.....simply beautiful

  • This man has a good-voice. Well-written lyrics. Well-written song. Simply Red huh? Simply timeless...music that is. ; )

  • His voice is essentially the same as it was in the original video...amazing! He's an awesome vocalist.

  • He still has his voice.  This is good for us with ears.

  • i love it ! :)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!

  • Anybody heard of the hollies?

  • love it

  • Magnifique... Sa voix touche mon âme.

  • Beautiful, touches my heart...

  • Dear Universe: I will give up my right pinky finger sans pain-killers if I can magically sing like this dude forevermore. Deal?

  • All I can say is WOW, great voice, excellent delivery, great song, and that is missing from American Idol, no stories to tell just good voices. No character yet.

  • try the hollies thats a long time ago

  • I thought when I did see the vidoe i thought where is the singer and why is that red head little boy in the vidoe and wow i thought it was someone older he has the gift he sing so much older then ever

  • yes it is something to hear songs so will sung

  • absolutely classical.

  • excuse me 4:01

  • who ever cut this at 4:o7

  • he can sing .....what a great voice..

  • Singing live sorts out the cheats from those who can REALLY SING. Step forward Mr Hucknall as a great singer/songwriter.

  • One of my favorite artists of all time. He's still got it! Dreamy voice....Wow

  • grande ,esa es VOZ

  • A critic once said his voice could "Charm the birds down from the trees"  How true

  • OMG I just had an eargasm

  • only fools and horses <3

  • So much talent ! Thank you for posting REAL music

  • i dig this song to the max, it's so cosmiC cause eveRy time i heard it i equated it with the pain my family put me through, especially my mom, and turns out ,years later i find ouT that he wrote it about his mother's abandonment of him. looks like he sure overcame it in a BIG WAY!!

  • I will break my silence about this song, it is my favorite song OF ALL TIME

  • For pezrule: got the same thing. First time I heard this song will always stay with me. Walking along the Erie Canal (Albion NY) at about 2am when I was about 12yrs old. Was coming back from late fishing and looking at the distant lights from Albion lighting up some storm clouds overhead. No rain with wind in the top of the trees but the ground was dead calm. I don't think I ever had the sense of calm and peace as I did right then. A storm with no wind or rain in the dark of night. Surreal.

  • @TeslaRussell That must of been like an... spell of some kind.. lol...Woow sound just like this song... love simply's music, like u said Surreal....his music does that to me all the time... lol

  • We humans are put on this world for just breeding and yet, things get in the way. We seek wisdom, for the meaning behind it all, still blind to this day. A lot gets in front of a little.

  • @limatedman just what does mean just for breeding, guess u have not looked at what they breed , have u /?

  • @zzzippo55 Okay, I cannot respond to this as it "dunt make no senze do it"? Don't be so illeterate if you're goining to comment on youtube

  • @limatedman Simply put!

  • @limatedman i think that half the fun is just enjoying what happens around us, and once in awhile wondering about it all. we'll never know. why waste all those years!

  • @MegaBames Exactly :)

  • i still miss her

  • How can people dislike this song .... its beyond me get them off

  • sad to think a whole generation of people are missing out on this type of music.

  • @patsguy369 Not me!!

  • @patsguy369 my respect for your words.it's like yesterday when i heard this song.and im 43.please hold back the years.why did you stop singing?

  • had a moment of clarity listening to this song 3 years ago. Never stay together for your kids. Mick, class!!!!!

  • My god... why won't the stupid young people of this generation give this type of music a chance? THIS is music, not that rapp shit or lady caca.

  • Beautiful song with beautiful memories!

  • saw simply red in cardiff castle a few years ago and its gotta be the best concert ive ever seen from little shit tone from barry

  • This song has the same addictive melancholy that "Goodtime Charlie Has the Blues" does. In some ways it is the 80s version of that 70s song, in spirit. No matter how many times you lear either they maintain their mood.

  • an incredible voice

  • amazing song, just love it,can,t believe there are dislikes for this song, anyway cheers.....

  • Tesekürler ........................CcC

  • Tesekürler ........................

  • One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Beautiful version. His voice is a great gift. When and were was this recorded?

  • There was an amazing live version of this song that was 100 times better than this except it got deleted and can't find it anywhere!

  • 10 dislikes = retards, why watch this video if you don't like it you searched for it specifically and then dislike it. The internet is wasted on you

  • @VeryAngryGit i agree .. whole heartedly .. amazing song .. but i do love the released version better !!

  • BEAUTIFUL DON'T DESCRIBE THIS!! WOWWW. They don't make songs like this anymore. His nuances are perfect!

  • superbe chanson

    

  • AWSOME, love the vocals this cat has got it all!!!!

  • All I have to say is DAMN! 

  • COO ! ...... THANKS !

  • this song still amaze me..

  • They don't write lyrics like this anymore. This is a beautiful song that is timeless!!! He's one of the most talented performers of all time. Thank you for this posting. My prayers go out to everyone involved in the disasters. I'm out of Katrina and I know the pain and lost you are now feeling. My prayers and thoughts are with you. It's as if the your world has stopped but the rest of the world is still revolving!!! Keep Holding On.... Thanks for this post.

  • oh for a time machine.....sigh

  • PHENOMENAL!!!

  • OMG 9 people need to get a musical ear...this is incredible live...wow can he sing

  • @horrorflesh Mr Hucknalls may not be the best looking man on the planet, but with that voice, he doesn't need to be! You obviously have no idea what good music is. I bet your a Bieber fan!

  • @Lorettasfaith , ahhh okay. He has a good voice. Gotta give you that, but wtf did he do to his face?! I loose all respect for these botox celebrities. Why did he pump botox into his entire face, making him look like something inbetween Alfred E. Neumann and Charles Bukowski.

  • @horrorflesh Maybe he`s just getting older and a bit overweight? happens to the best of us.

  • @horrorflesh shut your fucking hole jerkoff

  • @TheMrtimmy28 , -thats like a scientology reaction on insulting Xenu. Okay , your hero has a botox face. So what, he still has a great hairpiece.
