Simply Red at the BBC

Simply Red became one of the UK's biggest and most successful bands of the 80s and 90s, thanks to a string of modern soul classics and covers built around the unique voice of frontman Mick Hucknall. Here, the best of their long list of hits are captured in a collection of performances from the BBC's music archives that demonstrate exactly why Hucknall merits his reputation as one of the greatest vocalists of recent decades. Amongst the many songs being showcased here are much-loved favourites like Stars, Holding Back the Years and Something Got Me Started, alongside some of the band's most popular covers, including Money's Too Tight (To Mention), Every Time We Say Goodbye and If You Don't Know Me by Now.
