Great dynamics, great voice and winderful presentation! But then again, How could anyone mess up such a fabulous tune! Save your criticism of Red for someone who should really be kicked to the curb. There is only one Pendergrass, but this was good enough for me! I favorited this song!
Nice performance, but I notice that during the chorus it sounds like there was 2 people singing, but the only one singing the chorus was the black guy on the piano. Who was the other vocalist to the chorus?
@Raptormon132 The other vocalist during the chorus is actually the lead singer Mick Hucknall. This is a backed track meaning the band is not actually playing live, they are just faking it along to the cd track. They are just pretending to play along to a track while the lead vocal is actually the ONLY live part of the performance. Everything else including all instruments and background vocals are not live. Hope that helps.
True, but there's one thing he doesn't have that the black guy & Mick Hucknall do have. And that is...a microphone. Besides someone has already gave me the answer.
@Raptormon132 yea! true true true, but you didnt state a microphone in your comment you were asking,or i wouldve said no the other guy dont have 1! but is still singing,but ,hey you already got the answer! good 4 u
Mick is overwhelming in this song even though many versions of it were done.....I also, like Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, but we can appreciate all of them - each one is unique...& Teddy Pendergrass - let's love them all!!! I find him with great soul & do like his looks...& love the hair, he is original...
Mic was born the day before me 9th of june1960. I could watch and listen to him all day. So much soul. He has given so may so much. I would rather have a pint with Mic than any other human living - or dead.
If i came home early from work and caught my wife in bed with Mic i would politely retreat after asking him if he would like a cup of tea ;)
Ben Saunders is another white kid who wishes he was born black. It's obvious he is mimicking Teddy P. and yes it is a good job butomg he's even doing the moves.
@AlecPgc OMG did you say Ben Saunders dosent have soul in his voice? are you retarted? Ben Saunders, not Sanders, not related to the colonel or anything, so you need to listed to his version on youtube, and i think this simply red version is very hearty, and deep, they are all excelent covers of this song, so as long as its not the funk version by marvin gaye its all good man!
Simply Red did a real good job with this song. I just wish original versions would get the credit they are due. Mick had the luxury of hearing Teddy Pendergrass do it first. People don't realize that originating a song never done before requires more creativity than a remake. If you could try it youself you would know. All originals deserve due credit in a comparison with a cover.
One of the best ever covers in music history. Incredible to see that it was a new entry at only number 19, just shows that there were either 18 phenomenal songs above this or the vast majority of the public back then were being sucked in by ninja turtles or new kids on the block!
mick is a ditry manc twat who looks like rocky denis an needs to die an set on fire an laugh ahhahaaahhahahahhhhahahahhahahahahahahahaha i fuckin hate people from manchester its adump full ov smelly pakies an scuffy mancs if i hade it my way i would nuke it hahahahahahhahahahhahahhha
As my eldest son prepares to leave home, I have Simply Red to thank for evoking very happy memories of his childhood. Listening to the band in the car or at home has also given my three children an appreciation of good music and none of them are brain-washed into liking some of the rubbish in today's charts.
I remember hearing 'Stars' on the radio as a young mum and thinking, 'WHO is this??!!' I've been hooked ever since, and have many happy summer holiday memories with Simply Red playing in the car as we drove around. My three kids all love their music too. Now my eldest is about to leave home and I have the band to thank for evoking all those happy memories whenever I hear their fantastic music.
@mediblue9 The tune is an old soul song. He sings it smoother than the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes version. I like this version, but nobody, I mean NOBODY beats Patti LaBelle's concert version.
Simply wonderful. Micks love for music is incredible!!!! Thsi band has always been amazing, and it will always be. Forever in many many many hearts. Addicted to Simply Red, forever :)
If you don't like this song - you are DEAD inside, such a moving performance by the one & only RED - the most talented male singer ever! I love you Mick - great hair also!!!
What a voice!!!!! This is better than Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, which is the only one I had listened to before the Tube....I love you Red!!!!!!!!!
totalmente de acuerdo, dem PIEZA, de esas que hacen de los 80's la mejor época musical, donde los sentimientos eran transformados en musica, donde eran la esencia de la misma, un deleite completo oir temas como estos
