    Irish soul. The Irish (and the Scottish) often refer to themselves as the "blacks" of Europe, because they were oppressed by England and suffered through a lot of poverty, urbanization, and religious (not racial) violence. But damn, this reminds me how incredible Mick Hucknall's voice really was...one of those songs I didn't want to like growing up, but couldn't ignore.

    Think that Soul Has No Color comes to mind when you hear bands like Simply Red, Darryl Hall & John Oates, and many more. Glad you found this one. It's a beautiful classic.

    Any song by Simply Red is ABSOLUTELY 💯 🔥. I am so glad I grew up in the 80's and I got to hear this when it came out. My favorite by them, " Angel" & "Stars". That voice he has is unlike any other.

  • @jennhurl
    @jennhurl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Leo, it's a trumpet but with a harmon mute. The soloist had been listening to a lot of Miles Davis & decided to give it a shot.
    In 1978, when Mick was a teenager, he wrote his 2nd song - this one. "Holding Back the Years" is about that moment when you know you have to leave home but the outside world is scary. So, you’re "holding back the years."

    🥰 Yes Yes Yes!!!!! His emotion here comes from being left as a small child by his Mother; raised by his father who never remarried; heartbreaking. "Hoping For the Arms of Mater, Get to the the Sooner or Later" 😭
    Highly Highly recommend Simply Red's "SUNRISE"; took the hook from Hall and Oates' "I Can't Go For That" and made it their own; Phenomenal!

    Leo I don’t think I have EVER seen you react to any song like the way you reacted to Mick Hucknall known as Simply Red. He is considered one of the best blue eyed soul singers. If you can believe this he was once engaged to Catherine Zeta-Jones! Who happened to be a singer before or simultaneously an actor. Believe me when I say I reacted the same way when I first heard this song back in the day. As others have mentioned please check out “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”. As always I love your reactions! Love ya lots!! ❤️😘
