FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Simply Red - Holding Back The Years

[@joelc.3683]

One of my favorite voices of the 80's. He still sounds exactly the same! Thanks for great reaction.

[@sandramoore]

One of the great voices of our lifetimes! Mick Hucknall wrote this song which is biographical. His mother abandoned him when he was about 3 years old. His father raised him as a single father from then on.

[@EagleS197]

The song and the voice will haunt you for weeks. Trust me. Fantastic.

[@julieholbrook5302]

I had the same reaction the first time I heard it. Mike Hucknall is an insane talent. He's humble and in it for the music, not the fame. Simple man, simple life, BIG TALENT.

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

Oh, my one of my favorite songs. I'm 75 yrs old, and when I first heard this song, I had to go out and buy his CD. Love his voice. I still play this CD in my car. ❤❤❤

[@joannesouthgate6943]

Great reaction. I actually worked with one of his relations for a while and am from the same place as the legend that is Mick Hucknall. He has an amazing voice and can remember back into the 80's/90's he just came in as a whirlwind. Simply Red have some great hits, you should listen to more of this concert in 1996. I was pregnant at the time and couldn't go and my daughter is now 27 years old !!!! Stay safe from Stockport, Manchester UK "the home of Mick Hucknall"

[@DianaMiceli-Billingsley-kj4ln]

His voice is truly amazing. I loved him! Great reaction.❤
“Holding back the Years.”

[@patriciacanadiansenior8130]

Mick Hucknall is fantastic, & you need more!

[@user-od3ks6ih8s]

Mick Hucknall is the singer with Simply Red who comes from Stockport, Manchester UK . They had lots of hits including early ones like Holding On, Money's To Tight To Mention, I Want To Fall From The Stars, If You Don't Know Me By Now one of my favourites is Fairground Mick such a beautiful soulful voice great to hear your reaction

[@lennypena5587]

This song is so iconic, I remember hearing this song for the first time as a kid in the 80's and singing along to the chorus every time it played on the radio. I would like to see you react to "In the air tonight" (live) By Phil Collins, its a magical performance which I'm sure you'll enjoy.

[@juliehinners9792]

Hey CV you need to listen to Simply Red when he started in the 1980? He has a wonderful video for this song!!

[@sandramoore]

The North of England has loved soul music for generations. The port cities, Liverpool and Manchester, etc, were where American records arrived and local clubs and DJs played them. They assumed all the soulful American records were recorded by African Americans. So when they heard the Charlie Rich record "Don't Tear Me Down" they thought he was a brother. Nope just an example of blue eyed soul at its greatest.

[@roxyita]

Ascoltare questa voce meravigliosa è un vero regalo e la reazione è fantastica 😊😊😊

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

He sounds just us good after 40 years! You should watch the music video.

[@meganey2263]

I grew up listening to them. Their music is magnificent 🙌🏼🔥

[@CVTECK1]

His voice hits your soul

[@jerrishook7783]

The official video is worth a watch!

[@CVTECK1]

Will do

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I've not seen this!! Isn't he amazing!? ❤️✌️
I've heard this many times. Thanks for the reaction!

[@tawanablanton6334]

Holding back the years

[@loridanarandolph2648]

This is s fantastic song... Still! Great song in the 80:s amd even now. Tou should check out Robnie Williams 2004 Angels at Kenworth. 125,000 people x3... 3 days 375,000 people. Famous around the world, except the US.

[@donnawallington4978]

Never a bad song👌♥️

[@Lynsey77]

Next one either If you don’t know me by now or Stars. Both beautiful Simply Red songs.

[@darwinprado4360]

Que magnifico tremendo un regalo escuchar esto

[@davidcruse6589]

Yep better than the recording
Every country has its good and bad
Yes different music hits differently
Thats the beauty of it variety
Im lucky I've grown up in the best decades of music
Also a country thats always imbrace the world
We where taught about the world in school history arts drama classes just a few things
Our radio station used to play music from around the world everyday
We where very blessed in Australia 🇦🇺 and unfortunately not like it used to be
We used to respect our elders and have high standards for society
But over last few decade slipped a lot and adopted the bad parts of the world
No respect or accountability and humility we used to pride ourselves on
You'll find it more in the country side but cities are getting more like the rest of the world
They call it progression now days
Take me back we didn't have much even sleeping on floors until afford a bed
But we where happy and free to walk the streets at night not even lock your home
The biggest lose is the freedom's of innocence to be a child and only need food cloths and a roof over your head
As i said we where happy back then
They have everything today and still miserable because killing themselves for it
The music the same not lated back like it was and always angry or devastating relationship no positivity
Like in our era 60/70/80/90s up lifting even in hard time and positive for the future
Now its all doom and gloom the worlds going to,end if we dont do this or wars
Ive lived with those threats from 60s and no of its happened as i said up lifting music unlike today
Sadly I've forgotten so much music thats why i watch sites like your its new for you but brings back my child hood and music of forgotten
Keep travelling the world through the music and it good history in the clips of the times how things have changed
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@bethking7348]

He wrote this at 17 years old

[@user-od8ro5ie9n]

🎉toute ma jeunesse ❤❤❤❤❤

[@im2bz4stupidity]

This acoustic version is good, but you really need to hear it with the full band behind him. It's missing a lot that the backing singers add.

[@gloriarobinson4697]

No you dont sound crazy at all, you just love good music and you feel it.

[@Ayala70]

His voice more impressive then Justin Timberlake.

[@CVTECK1]

ohhh for sure

[@shenoashbay1361]

I have this very album, I love his voice and I love the choice of music he makes

[@kianpa1]

A fav! Thanks!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I'm fairly sure that JT would not be insulted! ❤✌️
Btw, you don't even need to travel out of the country to evolve. Our country has a lot to offer if you are unable to make it out of this country. But travel is very infighting.

[@judyduguay8673]

You should watch the original video he was very young

[@daniellaplume3840]

This song, as was this group, was so important, then😢

[@shannontrough2680]

❤

[@terrym540]

If not already heard, have a listen to Willy DeVille-- Storybook Love.

[@juliehinners9792]

ua-cam.com/video/yG07WSu7Q9w/v-deo.htmlsi=9fJ7PMSV-Nxqv2BZ Here is the address for his music video - I believe it shows his home town in Ireland. I do like the live version better but I thought you might like to see the scenery. :)

[@jo_jolambrini6775]

Mick Hucknall's home town is not Ireland, he was born in the same place as me Stockport (Denton), Manchester!

[@kat2270]

He's from Manchester and a big Manchester United fan. The setting for the video was Whitby in North Yorkshire, England.

[@cg401]

you listened to a real voice, not auto tuned like Taylor shit etc etc

[@chuckshc376]

I enjoy live music but this is nothing compared to the studio version

[@return2earthvideochannel]

Unbelievable vocal performance! The guitar accompaniment was wrong! Sorry, but as an ex rock musician I have my opinion.

[@jamiesweitzer8469]

I like your respectful comedy and willingness to expand your horizons. Bet you tripped hearing some white boys be brothers with soul for the first few times! (i.e. Thee Bee Gees, Simply Red)😂❤🤍💙😅
