    Simply Red is fantastic. Mick Hucknall’s voice is amazing. Check out Holding back the years, Something got me started, You make me feel brand new, The air that I breathe.

    They also do a fantastic cover of the Stylistics "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Mick leaves everything on the floor, it's a masterful vocal, and he nails it live.

    Imagine you are at the high school dance, this song comes on, and you ask a girl to dance ... With any other song, she'll dance with you, but not this one. It implies more emotional intimacy than that teen girl is ready to share with the random boy. ;)

    This was a classic and a big hit for Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes ft.Teddy Pendergrass. Why do people cover old school r&b hits and people always ask for the cover as though the original never existed.

    • @eh-i1841
