Biography

British soul and pop band which formed in Manchester in 1984 by lead vocalist (and songwriter) Mick "Red" Hucknall with three former members of the band [a=The Durutti Column] - bassist Tony Bowers, drummer Chris Joyce, and keyboardist/brass player Tim Kellett - plus guitarist Sylvan Richardson and keyboardist Fritz McIntyre. The band signed to [l=Elektra] Records and released their debut album "Picture Book" in October 1985. The band line up changed over the years. By 1996, after their fifth album "Life", Mick Hucknall was the only remaining original member, and the name Simply Red had become a trademark for him. After being dropped by their label [l=EastWest] in 2000, they established a website simplyred.com which also became their own label and released the album "Home" in 2003 and all subsequent releases under it. Hucknall retired the name Simply Red after a farewell tour in 2010, but reunited in 2015 for a tour that marked the 30th anniversary of the band, and released the album "Big Love". Their biggest hits are "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)", "Holding Back The Years" (1985), "The Right Thing" (1987), "It's Only Love", "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (1989), "Something Got Me Started", "Stars" (1991), "Fairground" (1995) and "Sunrise" (2003).

LYRICS

I know the desert can't hold all the love
that i feel in my heart for you
if i could spread it out across the sea
i know my love would cork it up
ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
if the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
they would seal up their honeycomb
if the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
they would tighten up the song
ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
your lips are so sweet honey you're my every need
you got a smile so rare
a love like yours i just can't compare
ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

if the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
they wouldn't need a fire
i can't think of a word that describes you better
than the sight of her
