How the fuck did I miss this Gem. Underrated classic. This band had some serious soul... The lead singer needs to sing until he hits the grave. He's got "the gift".
Jesus Christ. I am on a Simply Red kick, having heard "Stars" recently and then went and researched some other songs..they were so great! This song is AWESOME. God, I miss the 80s.
+Carolin Cleve ..... this is NOT a Simply Red song. It was originally written and first recorded by The Valentine Brothers (John and Billy Valentine) and released as a single in 1982. (three years before Simply Red's version first appeared). Reasonably successful on the 'Jazz-Funk' scene but only a moderate commercial hit - Hucknall heard the song, covered it and even had the bare-faced cheek to claim it has his own! To be fair, he later acknowledged the original artists (the Valentine Bros) and paid glowing tributes to them. However, by that time Simply Red's career had really taken off - largely as a result of this one song.
I don't think there is one song I dislike from the group! Pure Class Act!! Have loved this group from the beginning, great memories of being 14 and being in senior school.
I'm 21 and I would listen to Simply Red when I went skiing with my parents. In the car, on a snowy road we would listen to this genious. Today I still buy his CDs and this is my favourite song by him.
Wow a very serious piece of music 🎵.. This music still applies to today’s living conditions.. People are still struggling.. Peace out from music and video lover New Zealand 🇳🇿
Mick Hucknall wrote his first song at 17 and has now had a carrier spading 40 years with hit after hit with no end in sight I find his music is simply timeless.
Arshad Qureshi when England was dominating the charts with superb groups like simply red ... let's not mention the less commercial band like Joy Division the cure and the smiths... incredible....
Simply Red es uno de los mejores grupos, que aun con el paso de los años (muchos) sigue siendo vigente, su propuesta musical súper buena y además inigualable ...Simplemente unicos
Great Sounds, good singer and band. They are from Ireland, and like this song; is one of my prefers songs of the 80´s. This music cause that my mind travel to the years 80 - 90, when I was younger, and have a dream and hopes. Now, these time is far, very far and means the best remembers for me.
Sonido agradable, elegante y estimulante. Suena tan bien como en ese entonces y creo que así lo hará por siempre, como todo clásico de la música. Saludos desde Perú.
une merveille que ce titre qui fut le 1er succès marquant des SIMPLY RED... Rythmique efficace, et la voix de Mike HUcKNALL, reconnaissable entre toutes!

One of the songs of my youth. Still sounds great like back then ;-)
Just a point of reference , back then I would have to call my friends on dial up phone, arrange to meet or pick up whom ever was going to the clubs and then decide who was going to pay for the gas to get us all there, and once there we would talk, dance, hang out and actually communicate face to face and over time build good strong friendships. TODAY, you text, e-mail, call each other and simply say "I will call you back" and not communicate at all. Love the 80s, and friend ships I built
Im just shocked this song isn't played as much now a days on the radio.
Sign of the times.
This song is timeless....great when it came out in 85 and is STILL an awesome tune. Congratulations Mick
soul + jazz + blues + rock = SIMPLY RED, perfeccion
How the fuck did I miss this Gem. Underrated classic.

The lead singer needs to sing until he hits the grave. He's got "the gift".
Thirty years later and money is still too tight to mention.
... you just mentioned it ...
Jesus Christ. I am on a Simply Red kick, having heard "Stars" recently and then went and researched some other songs..they were so great! This song is AWESOME. God, I miss the 80s.
One of the best sounds to ever come out of the 80's. Straight up!
Simply Red, Simply the pride of Manchester
Prince said Money Don’t Matter 2 Night, and Simply Red says it’s too tight to mention? Absolutely correct!
This song needs more credit then it already has. This song is 🔥. Have a good day person reading this :))
Classic jam...Very tight band, and Mick is an exceptional front man....
Totally agree. Only he can bring it all together the way he does.
Brad Hill totally agree. Im a late comer to simply red, but I'm hooked lol
The guy is a soul legend. Top comment.
For me it´s still one of the best Simply Red songs

if you sing about realities of life the song will always sound good all the time.

Timeless is forever.
To listen to the sheer quality of bands in the clubs in Manchester back then,was something to behold.

Listened it in 80's and still going on great in 2015......Its a fadeless flower, keep radiating its fragrance. Greetings from Newfoundland, Canada.

Don K. Ruler Written by the Valentine Brothers
Don K. Ruler I couldn’t believe how soulful this is so I googled it. It was sung my an American group called the Valentine Brothers
That R&B from Simply Red is, almost flawless!
This song has BALLS

Soul brother from another mother......get it Mick.....love his voice & music!!!
Timeless and never ages
25 years later and this song becomes even more relevant.

Hard times last longer than good times it seems.

:-(
Liam Prychocki but they don’t last forever
True, but hard times don't last as long as hard people...
