- Simply Red - The Story Of Stars (Documentary)
Stars was released in 1991 and is regarded as the classic Simply Red album, with outstanding hit tracks including Something Got Me Started, Your Mirror, For Your Babies and the title track Stars. This album was very much the dominating force of 1991 with record sales reaching dizzying heights and beating the likes of Michael Jackson, U2 and Dire Straits.
This programme takes a look at the classic songs from the album and also includes specially recorded tracks, archive footage and promotional clips. We learn of Mick Hucknall’s musical vision and his inspiration forces both past and present, and how these influenced the songs he wrote and recorded.
Also featured in the programme are exclusive interviews with the producer Stewart Levin, Motown legend Lamont Dozier and members of the band, giving an insight into why the album, and Simply Red, have been such phenomenal successes.

It blows me away that this amount of talent is even possible.
My life is better because of the music of Simply Red…..the world is a better place because of the music of Simply Red.
Love, love, him. I still listen to his music everyday. 2024
Big love Mick and Symply Red for 35 years❤❤❤❤❤
Mick has a an amazing voice, but that's not why I love him. The way he delivers his songs is truly unique, very deep. His love for life is contagious and is a part of his charisma. Thank you, Mick!
Hucknall embodied a better time in all of our lives.
Than you Mr. Huncknell for giving us your beautiful music. God bless you always.
Every time I hear this Man sing it takes me back to such a happier time sitting in the Car with my Mum and Dad and asking if they could put Simply Red on when we were going to see relatives. So whenever I feel so down that life is a fight which is often I sit back put one of his songs on and go back to that happier time. Thank you Mr Huncknell for making that possible your the best!!
Ditto, with love from The States.
I love everything youake
Ooooh Yes I dream away.......when i hear his voice
Lovely comment, Hartyboy.
@@eshaibraheem4218 Thank you, means a lot for people to read my comment and care enough to reply.
I can not completely explain how much Mick's voice hits my heart. He shows so much emotion in every song he sings. He is only one man with all this talent that will NEVER be like any other. Mick's passion for his artistic music is one of a kind. This man has so much talent. Love you❤Mick.
Mick is the face, Simply Red is the Band. Anyone who's into music as a fan and as a musician and the likes knows that.
Mick is superb. His timbre is unique and his voice is so clear and attractive. I love ALL songs by Simply Red. 🤩🎶🎆⭐🎼
I lived in London England in the early 90’s with my mummy, its one of the best time in my life. Hearing Mick’s songs reminds me of the best time with my mum especially the song STAR. It’s SIMPLY the BEST ♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️
The Cuban performance was very moving and beautiful. His beautiful voice and the orchestra was magic!
Thank you for existing and making us happy with your voice, and your wonderful songs 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I’m gonna tell you right now ‘holding back the years’ is probably my favorite song of my lifetime. It is a timeless. That will endure long after I’m gone it puts you in a mood that cannot be explained…….you ride that melody……
Holding Back the Years was the 1st song from Simply Red that I heard 1 year ago. Loved it from then when I was 71 yrs Young! Mick is fantastic!! ❤🎶🎼🥰
He has a voice like no other. Wonderful band and music.
Many years ago, I went to Mexico city for one of their concerts with my Mom, and she had never heard about them. When I turn to see her to my right sight she was crying and I thought Wau, this is really amazing moment in my entire life a Simply Red efect and that feeling will stay inside of me, for the rest of my life...... with love. Simply Fan!!
Shaun Ward's bass work on this album is absolutely PHENOMENAL and STILL ranks HIGH on my list of AWESOME performances!
Thanks for all the wonderful songs and concerts Mick. You are one of kind . Enjoy the rest of your beautiful life. A Fan Forever.
Simply Red is my favorite band, Stars it´s an Amazing Album, every song its full of magic, it´s Perfect, Congratulations Mick and all members of the band….Simply The Best, Cheers from Mexico City ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I love Simply Red! His singing is so effortless. I get chills whenever I hear them!
So true! There is just something about his vibe! The voice and lyrics👍🏾❤️
Red hair with blue eyes, deep bass and high falsettos... This man is full of extremes!
Except he's not exactly singing bass.
His voice is soothing and his songs reflective. Holding Back The Years was the breath of fresh air that brought cool and uplifting songs. I have many favourites, yet I always get lost within the magic of Stars. Thank you Mick for the music and hope a tour will bring you Montreal.
I will always and forever LOVE Simply Red. Every time I listen I just feel pure joy. Thank you guys for making music that touches the soul!
I absolutely love Mick. I was in my twenty's and raised a daughter with him always plaiying. To this day, she loves Simply Red too! Nothing but good times and thoughts of those times gone by. Thank you!
Mick ... You have been part of my life in so many ways and I do hope one day you will sing here in Austin Texas . You have no idea how much we love you . Love, Claudia, Austin Texas
Mick/ Simply Red ❤️ He is The Greatest Artist !!! Love His Voice!!!
RIP Big Fritz MacIntyre. Great band and thanks for posting.
I just love how Gota Yashika plays the drums for Something got me started, he really seems to have so much enjoyment of playing the drums, always cheers me up. Great producer
I was only seven when this album came out and I loved it. I used to listen to it on my walkman, and one day my folks asked me what I was listening to. We palyed it on a car trip, and they where kind of shoked. They expected some pop band, and suddenly these groovy piano and insane saxsophone and Mick's sexy totally grown up voice. They were like "OK kid..." years past, and I am proud of that kid choosing this music, that is both highly skilled and timeless.
Great story 😊🙌
Well, he has simply accomplished wonderful music for the next generation and beyond. He is a great musician.
MEGA underrated group of exceptional musicians. I flew to London for their last last concert at the O2 in December 2010 when the band took their last break and the memory that they seared in my mind, will stay w me until the end of days in a very special place.
I wouldn’t say underrated, they grew steadily from 1985 Picture Book, and by Stars were one the biggest and most popular bands in the world. Mick got rid of the band in the mid 90s and to me sank into blandness. He’s still a great singer. The first three albums and all the B-sides from them are superb and essential. From 1985 to 1990 is the best of the Simply Red story you’ll ever need. Stars became too commercial, a bit like corn flakes.
❤❤❤❤❤
@dbyd777 I wonder what that concert was like in London. Seared in the mind? Wow. It must have been life changing.
colourful he is as is his wonderful music.❤
you'll surely live forever amongst us darling. Thank you the music & the charm you brought along.
First song I heard from Simply Red was Home. I thought “it’s something strange, something I’ve never listened”. And then it was Stars...it was kind of lightning and I fell in love with Simply red without any compromise. Incredible voice and incredible melodiousness!
Stars was and still is an absolute beast of an album, to think it came out 30 years ago scares the shit out of me!!
yeah!
It's a feeling of hanging on every second when Mic's performing, because you don't want to miss anything he does. Then, the band is so damn good.
At the only gig ,so far,l've been to,l felt at one with everyone there,on and off stage.l just can't imagine heaven being any better than this
I like the way he took a Hall and Oats song and made it a new song, with the way he arranged the beginning, with a surprise.
To me, they are the greatest band of all time, I am in love w all their song
I loved SimplyRed, i loved Stars, my favorite album, i loved all about this band.
♡♡♡
Love to hear Simply Red's rendition of You Make me Feel Brand New...so amazing....
I love Mick ❤
Still the best as far as I'm concerned! Such an amazingly special voice that never fails to deliver no matter what the the song! Thanks Mick and Simply for always making me happy when I listen to your music...
Amazing dance tracks along with drum n bassist, Michael give me a bell 😇
Seeing him singing Model again made it for me. Give us a Reggae album Mick!!!
Sinply Red sind für mich die schönen Erinnerungen an die Achtziger ,mit all der Romantik und der neuen Freiheit ! Danke 🙏Respekt
seen Mick live on several ocasions and he was outstanding each time, last time was at a winery outside Sydney some friends came that were not neccesarily fans and were blown away
Much love from Ghana Simply Red!❤❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭😀
Love you Mick ❤️
Love Simply Red 👍💚🇧🇷💛
Beautiful music, beautiful documentary! Thank you Simply Red!
I'm very glad that this is the type of music my parents would play in the car on journeys. Mick has such a distinct voice and his vocals hold up whether live or in the studio. I'd have to say Fairground is my favourite of their songs.
Poor Chris though. At least he's not the only person who's lost a job due to a computer doing their job better.
Well said and great comment.
This Band is Awesome. They definitely deserve a Comeback. 👍👍👍
they never were gone 😲
Excellent documentary. I'm 47 and "Stars" have been with me since I have 18 and each day I love more and more that record. In fact I deeply known Simply Red by listen "Stars" and after that I started to buy the previous album from which I only know the singles. The entire "Stars" album is a masterpiece, from the beginning to the end, but if I have to choose a song that I have to tell someone "please, listen to this", I should choose "Your Mirror". One more thing, and I believe that have to do with the way the songs were created, this album can be a background music on a pub and will please everybody ears or turn up the volume of your system at home and feel the power of each individual track.
RIP Fritz McIntyre. Massive respect to you from New Zealand. Condolences to your family. This doco is gold full stop. I have the DVD and have damn near worn it out!
Me too!❤️💋
God bless him!❤️ Such a great musician!
When you can listen to someone’s music that moves your inner core and make you feel Alive , of course Chills too then you know you hit a Gold Mine.. Simply Red does just that and then some for me♥️Thank you 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you Mick for your wonderful voice and music. Love you!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Micks love of life and music comes through in his lyrics, music composition and delivery. He feels the music and the fans feel it. It is a party of give and take. See you in 2025! Mick and SR!
What a brilliant song writer and singer. How For Your Babies solicited such feelings from his muse is awesome!
Never retire I’ve got chills up my back for this ❤
He was my favorite singer when I was 5. I could not stop asking my dad to play his CDs
How lucky you are to have grown up with this music
Love you Simply Red....Love you Mick......😍
Mick is a magical creature from the Isle of Avalon - I am pretty sure of that!
ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC MELODIES AND SONGS I HAVE GROWN UP ON !! GOD BLESS AND STARS IS AN OUTTA WORLD SONG LITERALLY !!!!! They are from another planet 🌏!! Unbelievable melodies
Love this album! It's definitely a classic.
My favorite band !!🌹🎆👌🎉😘🎵🎶
Went to both these amazing concerts 25yrs apart , what u hear is what it was like live ... i was in front row , abs loved them since day one... amazing band x
I feel like Blue eyed Soul artists aren't appreciated enough 😪
I liked Simply Red before I went to a concert. Looked forward to hear the five songs I liked but didn’t really expect a lot. I was BLOWN away by the sound quality. Now I fckn LOVE Simply Red 😍🥰. Mick Hucknall is a real star.
Absolutely love your music Mick, my dad played it in the household and at his parties and now in my older age, I play it and will one day play it to my kids.
Wow,you were lucky to have parents with such good taste,mine were quite the opposite!
Brasil salutes Simply Red! Abraços do Brasil. Stars is magnificent!
Love 💖 Mick, Simple Red 🎶 is the best...💕I ALWAYS remember listening to his music 🎶 and LOVE how Mick✨ is VERY diverse with his music... Blue Eye Soul...🌺
Avevamo vent’anni insieme e insieme stiamo invecchiando. E adoro sempre di più questa musica sempre attuale con un fuoriclasse come Mick a cantarla ❤
I think I have become a new Simply Red fan,I knew their hits but tbh after seeing their live concerts uploaded in YT I am a complete convert and have now bought their back catalogue.To be honest I had no idea just how good Mick was and the astounding group of musicians he has gathered around him.Simply fantastic is all I can say.I think I may have been put off by his personna and the whole model/cocaine lifestyle possibly.I don't know what it is about blokes who often are not that hot but once they become famous they always have these model types hanging around but both parties are obviously getting something from it so....
I'm a new Dan too.lt's all about the music.Obe say he will retire,and that's that.wgat a lot of musical memories we'll have.Nir just yet though!❤️💋
Mr. Mick's voice is really unique. Super amazing and inspiring❤️❤️❤️
❤Mick Hucknall #MickHucknall &❤Simply Red #SimplyRed ForeEver❣

La storia di Stars è molto interessante, l'album favoloso come tutta la band e Mick artista unico ❤❤❤
Wow... how have I never seen this before! I love the album and the concerts surrounding that album. Also I love music documentaries. Anda I absolutely LOVE Simply Red. I've seen every concert available in UA-cam.
For the past 30 years the song "Stars" has been my # 1 favorite love song because it truly resonates with everything I feel in my heart and soul when it comes to TRUE love.
Stars is definitely my favorite song of all time. Thank you so much for uploading this!
I’m a super super fan still listening in 2020! Awesome vibes
Pure genius on production of holding back the years. A song can’t get deeper. Song of the century!
This is going to be divine!
Adoro i Sympli Red ...
Mick sei fantastico.... l'Italia ti ama!
Let's face it...Mick is beyond amazing. But, is there anything Ian can't do? I must admit I have a bit of a crush. Continued success and blessings to ALL the fabulous band!
I agree I absolutely love him and his songs and am so happy his life turned out so great.
Yes I heard them before , I do like them , thanks for reintroducing them!!! 😊❤📰✌ !!!
I've always loved this song. It has always been one of my favorite songs. Maybe it's from my early teens so I can't forget and listen over and over every month
Which song?
I really enjoyed this Doco, and I love Micks music, when you think about it, one day the song doesnt exist and the next day there it is, it really is like something a magician does, such a wonderful process to me....Thank You for the songs Mick !!
