Simply Red and the Best! 
2006-10-17
Simply Red was truly a British band of the 1980s. They were introduced to me by Music Television or MTV as it was known to release first with the single "Holding Back The Years," or was it "If you Don't Know Me By Now." "Stars" is also a classic from their heyday. There are other songs that I am not too familiar with like "Money's Too Tight To Mention," "The Right Thing," "It's Only Love," "A New Flame," "You've Got It," "Something Got Me Started," "Thrill Me," "Your Mirror," "For Your Babies," "So Beautiful," "Angel," and "Fairground." Simply Red like most of the bands of the 1980s had their own sound and style. Love the red hair color on the singer and always wondered if it was natural.
Cool album!

I heard a lot of these songs at my place of employment over the satellite feed. I just realized that frontman Mick Hucknall has a voice like Jefferson Airplane/Starship's Marty Balin. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW is an excellent cover that was made famous by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes in 1972. HOLDING BACK THE YEARS is somewhat jazzy(I heard it before on jazz stations). MONEY'S TOO TIGHT TO MENTION is awesome. STARS is pretty cool also. When I first heard FOR YOUR BABIES,I thought it was Balin singing. That's why I said he and Hucknall are soundalikes. The other songs are great!
Simply wonderful 2006-08-24
Sure I had heard a few of the songs, but rest of the songs on this album are equally wonderful. Mick Hucknall is a great singer and I would to see him live.
Simply Red is awesome! 2006-02-25
This album is a collection of Simply Red's best. It is a great album - would recommend it to anyone who has liked any one of their songs. "Stars" is the best song for me; no matter how many times I've listened to it in the past n years, it is the best. "Something Got Me Started", "Fairground" are also excellent.
Excellent collection of their best albums' songs! 2005-09-25
I've waited until now to review it since I last heard it in 1996. First time I heard Simply Red, it was about a minute of Money's Too Tight to Mention on the Rate-A-Record segment on Dick Clark's TV show American Bandstand in the fall of 1985. Nobody paid attention at the time when their album came out. But it took the walking on the beach feel of Holding Back the Years for people to jump on this band quickly in early 1986, and they just exploded, gold and platinum album sales and hits left and right! Mick Hucknall's soulful singing is and still is wonderful today! He is that good in clashing R&B and pop sounds within his band. And I still love his wonderful remake of Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes' If You Don't Know Me By Now from 1989. But they weren't all about remakes; their original songs are great, especially 1992's Stars (which I still hear today), 1989's It's Only Love, some songs from their 1987 album, Fairground. The band sounds rhythmic and dynamic in the performances, a full, live sound in their songs. I recommend anybody to get this album, for Simply Red proved their thing in the '80s and early '90s. They're still performing today, 20 years later after their debut! Talking about this greatest hits brings things full circle now!

We were very pleased with the CD-Simply Red Greatest Hits. We have been a fan for many years and was happy to get his best hits. There were many of these I have heard and didn't realize they were his. If you want to listen to some great hits done as only he can, this is a great purchase!
Great music. 2008-06-13
Simply Red was on Satilite TV and I really enjoyed it. He was performing in Sicily. The music was great and I believe he really loves to perform. It shows. I like it when he gets into the music by dancing to it.
Briefly... 2008-03-24
"For Your Babies" is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful melodies these ears have ever heard. Amazing in its simplicity.

I have only recently become a big fan of "Simply Red". Once I ordered this c.d. it arrived in less than a week, which is typical for an Amazon transaction! It was of excellent quality and we are enjoying the music very much.

I have enjoyed the music greatly. I purchased it because whenever I go to San Francisco I put it on and it mellows me out.
