Happy Birthday Mick Hucknall: What's your favorite song by Simply Red?

Happy 51st birthday Mr. Hucknall

Hucknall was among the people present at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester in June 1976 where the Sex Pistols were playing. His interest in the music scene led to the launch of his career in the late 1970s, when he was part of the formation of the band Frantic Elevators.

The Frantic Elevators released four singles, including a version of "Holding Back the Years", which he later recorded with Simply Red.

As lead singer and core member of Simply Red, he has become the identifiable face of the band. His face, including his long curly red hair, was featured prominently on album artwork and in videos.

    I only know Holding Back The Years mostly because it gets used in movies for montage scenes featuring the guy pining over the broad and kicking himself for messing it up. I can't in good conscious call it a favorite or good, more like a presence in my life that has just keeps holding on.

    "If You Don't Know Me By Know" is by far my fav. song of theirs, "Holding Back the Years" is a good tune also, but after those 2 songs nothing else clicks for me.
