  • 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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @KRAZEEIZATION
      @KRAZEEIZATION 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
