Those were the days when the real music was made.
Those days are long gone sadly. RIP to good music and thank goodness for UA-cam
One of my favorite music videos on MTV!
If you really think people don't make music like this today, you're kidding yourself. Just look and you'll find a lot of musicians who were influenced by these bands and continued the legacy.

Priceless music

@@tmalone2530The Truth, truer words never spoken! We can't go back fiscally, but you tube can bring us close!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊
Oh, this man can sing beautifully.
Was it " holding back the years, holding back the tears, because nothing here has grown"?
And he was hot! I have a thing for red haired men

My Dad loved this song. He passed away many years ago. Random times like tonight, this song pops up. Whenever I hear it, I feel it’s my dad saying “hello I’m still here with you” ❤
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🌺You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺🥰🎶🎵
Yes, I'm sure that he is ❤
Oh my dear friend believe it
Ofcourse he is there with you. He just passed to the other side (we all will) and will come here and back/
Am Sorry ❤
To sing like that live is pure talent. His voice really cuts right through the mix.
Most Nasally singers do 🔥🔥
No computers to enhance his voice. No autotune to make him sound better. Just a microphone and pure skill. Powerhouse voice! No school like the old school. It will never be that legendary again. Now, we are stuck with this shitty no talent "woke" Era.

The 70s and 80s produced the greatest generation of music and songs. Period. Nothing today comes even close.
Agree x l am age 52
@@juliawilkinson9919 I'm 52 as well and the 80's were the absolute best for music.
@@normgraham6658 in 20 years the people in their 50s will say there's nothing like 00s music. That's the passage of time for ya
Oh my gosh his voice was phenomenal. This song takes me back to 16 riding in a car in the way home from the mall just cruising to this. With a few friends. Good days music and times.
I'm 75 and I think you have to include the 60's... 70's... and 80's
My mother sang this song to us when we were little. Now that she's gone, I remember her with it.
That's Beauty. No One and a No Body can take those Memories Away. Can Play it at ur Wish. Keep Holding🎵❤💜
Keep holding on to those memories of your mom. May they last forever for you. God bless.!!!!!!
@@frankfossaceca9616no
God bless ya.
Best memories ❤️❤️
Rare -diamond vocals
Sharp clear brilliant
Pure talent
And diamond tooth 😳
Now you have auto tune which these Kats use bc they have NO talent or voice. Pure frauds they are
It's like he doesn't have to try. It all comes so naturally to him. He looks so relaxed when singing. Amazing!
Brilliantly said Rudy. This man's voice is purely angelic. So, so great.
@@marygarcia1745 Probably thousands of hours of practise. That's what makes it look effortless
That voice, those chords, the rim shots, the trumpet with the harmon mute . . . one of the best balads of pop music history.
agreed
Agreed ❤
Agreed
This is *_THE_* ballad. Phenomenal production, keys, drums, strings and that horn solo, everything. Can't forget the tragically beautiful vocals and lyrical performance. Amazing work.
This content is culturally significant. Posting it on UA-cam will ensure that future generations will have access to it and appreciate it. Thank you for sharing it.
What a fantastic performer this man is. Nobody else sounds just as good live as they do in their studio cuts as him, too.
Agree.. but, of course, this was 30 years ago!
Absolutely true, seen him unplugged too.
He does sound good, but 'nobody? Really, I have to disagree.....besides, this is only about six years after the original release date. And, as a retired professional drummer from L.A., I have heard bands live versions of songs that sound MUCH better than their own studio version.
@@drew-shourd agreed, but, there are those that sound total crap live.
springstein and Elton come to mind.
At 68yo I recently had an MRI and asked them to play this song. It felt like a journey in itself. What a voice from within
WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL!!!!
Bitter Sweet song for me. My late wife was in Her last stages type 4 cancer when this song was popular. Back in the day after she passed this song would bring up a lot of sad memories. But with time healing comes. When I hear it now I am remember the pleasant memories. S/Red thank you for your awesome song. Good music will endure through all the seasons of life.
Same here. I lost her 2 and half years ago. Sorry for you loss. P.S. That song was about his yearning to find his mother who abandoned him all those years ago.
This is why his live performance is so much better than recording material. So much freedom and passion.
This man’s voice is so naturally phenomenal!!!!!! There just aren’t words…❤
HE HAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE.HE OWNS THIS SONG NOBODY CAN EVER EVER SING IT LIKE HIM .NEVER.
Because its about his relationship with his mother.
Com certeza ele é único 😊eu o amo com todo meu amor 🥰😍🤩☺😚🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟🌟🌟⭐🌟🌟🌟❤❤⚘
agreed.....and maybe because he wrote it, and those words have deep meaning to him....
When I was fifteen, Simply Red were my great passion, especially this worderful man. Now I am 56, and I am still here.
Exactly the same here - 56 year old woman. Irony is, although I loved the song in my youth - and have the hearing loss to prove it, playing as I did at top volume over and over again on my Walkman - I lacked the depth of maturity to even understand it. I appreciate it all the more now.
One of the most relaxing tunes and voices of all time . the man has soul
I periodically come back to this video. I love the song, but this version of it just touches me to the core. At 64 years of age I hear the lyrics, "I've wasted all those years" and I realize, Mick nailed it.
I am 77 and feel the same. It goes right to my soul. Sometimes I cry ,sometimes I just listen and remember
@@cynthiagreen6506 I understand totally.
Mick Hucknall 's voice is just a pure as it was 20 years ago! BEAUTIFUL & SOULFUL
Possibly the most underrated singer of all time. Doesn't get the credit or recognition he deserves. Quite simply the best.
he's known around the world...
You got it u got it you got it
I really miss the old days
Oops misspel
Underrated- Never he’s at the top of my list. Absolute Magic
agreed 100%
Heard him in concert recently and that voice hasn’t wavered one bit. He is a true vocal talent.
True true TRUE
Fleewod mac over over
Same here
Dude’s great!!!
Still listening in 2024 ❤ His voice is extraordinary 💙👍🏻😁🏴
What I call a timeless masterpiece by an authentic artist.
True! I was going to say classic, but masterpiece is perfect definition.
I agree
Masterpiece
He has to be one of the greatest singers. His live performances sound better than his recordings. Amazing.

He is maybe the best blues white singer of all times.
Mick Hucknall's voice is clear as a bell and simply beautiful!
Agreed, crazy how he never puts his name out there, what a cool cat.
I can’t believe he wrote this at age 17, truly a masterpiece.
Its the story of his mother (Mater) who left him and his dad when he was very young. Most of his early songs are very sad and about that experience.
@@64caca damn god bless
What? No way! can't believe it either!
Wow I didn't even know
Awesome freaking song and beautiful voice that man has no doubt ❤ 🙌
Finally someone sings a live version that is more beautiful than the original studio version.
OH MY GOSH!!!! I WAS THERE!! Right in the front row!! Wonderful show!!
Wow! Que maravilloso 😊
What an amazing voice. Effortless.
It wasn't always like that. When they were the Frantic Elevators , practicing above the Salford Karate Club, they were often burst in on, and beaten up.

You should hear him now. He sounds just as good. His voice so clean here
Yes, saw Dobbie Brothers and Michael McDonald on 8/7/24 @ MSG, NYC, still the same, fabulous.
dude can straight up sing with ridiculous control
Hey OHIO! O-H!
True….
Such a beautiful voice&its just as beautiful today as it was 35yrs ago!!!
Fucking A right. Just as great in 2019 as 1999.
Much better pipes than other stars of the 80s or 70s
And that ladies and gentleman is how you nail a live performance. #perfection👌
This voice is a gift to humanity!
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
I was 14 years old when this beautiful song was released. Im 50 years old now and it still hurts so good.
Im 73 and still love him since 1986
Im 73 and feel the same way you do 👍👍
I’m 57 and this song still makes me cry. A lot of personal history invested in this song.
Same here. Brings back a lot of very tough times, but also how songs like got me through it.
my mums favorite she passed away in august 2020 used to sing this to me a lot
I’m sitting her crying. Turn 57 in 3 weeks.
@@indigomoon777 time is fleeting, goes by so fast the older we get, we all have the memories tho
Great mysterious comment
This song describes the deepest feelings of your heart when it is in pain. Simply wonderful
That pure and natural voice. Few have it. He does.
This is fucking incredible man...
A lot of people pay all their attention to Mick's voice but miss/don't pay attention to the mic technique he has...That is truly the sign of an experienced/knowledgable/gifted artist...To be able to control the mic like that while creating that magic that he does with his voice...It's amazing man...One of the most talented singers on this planet!
THAT VOICE! SO
DAMN UNIQUE!!!

This song - and the incredible man behind it moves me like no other... I believe it is his voice -AND his talent as a great preformer that does it!
Effortless, talented, full of energy and spirit. The legend that is Mick Hucknall and Simply Red. Freakin’ awesome ❤️❤️
I love this song ❤ his voice sounds exactly the same and is amazing after all these years. Can we please go back to these days 😢
One of the few singers 🎤 that sound as good “live” as he does “recorded”!!! Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍🥰🥰😘😘
The honest lyrics and crystal clear pureness of his voice! Beautiful
Mick has a great voice, flawless and beautiful in the execution. What a marvelous performance. Wish those days were here again.
Love that soulful voice. Write another one Red. Love you.
My love for Mick was born listening this song! My love is lasting till today.........It was, it is ,it will be forever
Not very often that I find the live version to be better sounding then the doctored recorded version, this guys voice is so strong and clear. Wow
Astonishing - the clarity of Mick's singing makes it sound like the recorded version. A great, great voice.
This live version is sublime. I've always adored this song but to see his performance here is everything!!
Still listening in August 2024 the best group to come out of the eighties.
Mick's voice is magical, I 've loved Simply Red for years.
His voice can cure corona virus! 2020 we still have a chance. This song!
It's 2021 still going.................................................
2022！

Love the way you think!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣Hog you're not a fan, you're a hurricane.
Man I allmost forgot how great he sings....Damn, this is even better than the album version.
That song is a masterpiece thanks Mike and Simply Red for a taste of the best music forever!!!!!! ❤️❤️
Singers with heart....Musicians with soul !! All about perfect sound....
His voice is still so amazing
Real talent, pure voice
In the music industry it's called "You got 1" and this is 1 for sure... Outstanding
A song that exposed my plight in my own life & living. Nothing had a chance to be good, cause nothing ever could. Sad but did happen & it should never happen to anyone especially when caused by another. Holding back the tears holding back the years is over now. Thank God.
His voice is a weapon.
Awesome is just one word to describe this beauty .
What a voice... Makes u realise why so many major artists have that extra something different from most.
Well he's an artist from the 80s and most artist from the 80s are truly exceptional talented .They put there heart and soul into every lyric unlike today most are garbage today.
Synthisized lol scared to perform live
@@rodgercostello9814 lip syncing their auto tune music
@@DlcEnergy lip syncing ....who cares.still excellent.at least he can sing it lol
@@rodgercostello9814 I'm not talking about Simply Red. Do you even remember the last comment you made? "Synthisized lol scared to perform live" I'm talking about those who can't perform live, who have to lip sync their auto tune music. You can't defend those synthesized singers with "at least *they can sing" lol
Probably the best singer I’ve seen live, at Westonbirt, he actually sounds even better live than on cd.......amazing voice..and band by the way!
totally agree
Simply Red e o melhor
He's so natural. He sing effortlessly. Totally flawless, with an unique style. For me too one of the best soul singers ever. Maybe THE BEST.
Yeah just like Journey,
@@Moondoggy1941 steve perry fan bud?😉
Holding the back year very best song Simply Red
One of those songs that take you back in time instantly ! 😌
He inhales, then exhales pure magic. Such a calming voice. Love him
At 68 I am holding on, Bite it CoVid-19. May be getting old, but lived to see and hear the best music.
Me to 73 and im still hanging to bad we could hold on together lets just imagine were together as friends back in the 80s what a good year 1986 🙋👏🙋👍back at yea girlfriend💋

I love that, i wish i was well off id follow him to every gig.
Awesome! 👍
No need to feel guilty at all. We need more of this.
No shame man. No shame.
Same here
i was born in 1960 so i got to grow up enjoying all the greatest music the world had to offer.
September 24 still listening
He sounds better than the original recording!!! Always my favorite!
And he still sounds just as good today close to 60 years old!! 👍
He sure does sound Great!and didnt overdue it I hate it when singers change up their songs He keeps it the same as it should be
@SAYIT AINTSO BEST " Live " version for sure! I was 22 in 1985 when The GREAT, Mick Hucknell ( " Simply Red " ) Broke this timeless classic out !
just like me I'm almost 60 years old, LOVE his voice & music. :)
Thank you for the reply. at least you talk me more than others.
He sounds so AMAZING
This song transcends time and I used to play this song over and over again. I can relate to this song. Years later my husband and I separated. I moved to Europe and while I was there my husband died 1996. My daughter had this CD of Simply Red. She bought it because it reminded her of me.. She passed away in 2005. I think this song was created for people who can relate. ❤❣💕
It’s time! 80’s redux! Our lives depend on it! This feeling is everything…
WOW !!!!! .......... MEMORIES!!!!!????? Such Talent AND MEMORIES !!!!!!????
Best version I've seen yet. Envy the talent
What a fantastic voice..i get chills everytime i hear this 💖
All those friggin companies that keep us on hold for 20 minutes need to play this sweet gem-over and over again…then I’d KEEP HOLDING ON…and even stay CALM! Lol
A VERY GREAT SINGER .
One of the greatest musicians in the world 🌎
He has more then just talent
Un numero uno 😃🍾
One of the greatest voices of all time.
Bet he never had to auto tune his voice . He's the real deal💖
Of course he had not. Autotune didn't still exist.
This is one of those songs that you want to go on forever.
Love his voice 👍🏻👏🥰
Oh how I love his voice! He’s amazing!
He is the r&b and soul man that I've ever hear... He has an amazing voice.. incredible song
Simply Red is incredible but the trumpet player keeps up beyond measure with the critical performance moments. This performance is by far his best. A standard to be aware of for others who would want to walk the lofty path that Simply Red walks with such profound ease and tacit command. Simply the best. A real masterwork of performance for the ages.
Such a talent....that voice 😍 👌 perfection
Absolutely one of the greatest songs l have ever heard...Mick is at the top of his performance....He's perfect and beautiful...
Crystal Clear!!!!!!!no fake auto tune I love simply red!!!!!!!
Pain creates masterpieces. This is proof of that.
What I’d give to be there back in the day to watch this. True, unfettered talent
This cat hasn't missed a beat in almost 40 years! Bravo!
I love somebody brought a whole ass candle to the show.
Simply the best
