This is one of the best written love songs of all time. Also Mic Mucknel has one of the smoothest voices I've ever heard . A clssic that will forever live on.
How I view each version of this song. Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Face to face expressing what once was no longer is, holding back none of the pain. Simply Red - Thinking to self pre or post admittance, the missing pieces, broken inside.
Fritz McIntyre is the tenor voice playing the piano - his contribution to this song is definitely outstanding and more than noteworthy! Love the harmony of their voices ...
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist Mick Hucknall, backing vocalist Stephanie Spruill, guitarist Heitor Pereira, bassist Tony Bowers, drummer Chris Joyce, percussionist Lenny Castro, keyboardist-backing vocalist Fritz McIntyre, synthesizer programmers Erik Hanson and Larry Williams, trumpeter-keyboardist Tim Kellett, and saxophonist Ian Kirkham.
The girl i loved liked this song so much. It was her favorite. So sad, she passed away so young... When i hear this song, I'm full of emotions and memories of her.
Bill Wilson I don't know what;s going on....your comment not showing on the YT site for this song....I removed you and added you back thinking I had fixed the glitch.....have you posted today?
Great lyrics. And so romantic...l Heard it today for the first time on the radio and couldn't figure out it was Simply Red until I googled up the song... now. Very talented Simply Red, sweet soul music
De las mejores interpretaciones de Simply Red. No puedes quedar indiferente a la esta voz que entrega tanto sentimiento. Dónde está el talento en estos días, dónde esta aquello que te hace vivir
One of the most sensual voices' of his generation. The 1st time I heard it I remember being so astonished at the sincere emotional hurt, I couldn't do anything but WATCH !!! Superb rw
Pure Heaven is what I think of listening to Simply Red's voice. Simply perfect, at least to me he was, its what I heard. He belted out nothing but perfection….amazing, perfection
I remember the first time I heard "if you don't know me by now ", Me and my husband and our two little girls were driving around and my daughters were about three and two year old and all the sudden they got so quiet and moved around their heads with the song and radio stations in Amarillo -Texas were playing Simply Red songs all the time and before we know It my daughters were hocked to your songs. They are 27 and 26 years old now and still all of us enjoys all your music. I am 58 years now and just love, love your music . Yesterday I finished my school and graduated in Radiography and as soon as I passed my final exam I came home and for good solid two hours listened to Fair ground , something got me started and come to my aid and danced around with your songs with joy . During past 4 years that I was in school, your music, your energy and great great talent keep me up way pass midnight for study.(do you know how hard was go back to school in my age). God blessed you with gift of great voice. I am looking forward to come to your concert and hopefully meet you in person, May God bless you and your family . B.J-Raef
Now 2018. Simply Red. Always keep me going. I enjoy listening to the group. My late brother. Mr. Gerald J. Hill Sr. This song is for remembering all the time we had together. You will be missed. Missed. R. I. P. for life. Your brother.
+Lamb Forever Mine Too, I've been a drummer for a really long time, and I refuse to play music that doesn't run along the lines of, If You Don't Know Me By Now.....
I grew up with Simply Red forced upon me during car journeys but now, Im turning 30, willingly listen and love it, and now forcing Simply Red upon my children!
oh yeah! at the beginning of the 90's i used to watch video 'Fairground' on MTV quite often. Although I was young I didn't really like those years nor i didn't appreciate this song at the time but now decades later Simply Red became my lifestyle! This is the music I live with!! All the best! Moscow, Russia.

Sometimes music needs to travel through the ages to find the right time to touch your soul. thanks for catching up to me.
Un viaggio costruito con echi e contaminazioni linguistiche che trasmutano le mie emozioni, pulsioni e memorie..!

Simply Red was Simply Awesome. So much power and soul in his voice. Great Song...
54 years young all time favorite. It's all about trust. Be true be passionate be respectful be responsible be creative and love you
He said “just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye..what good is a love affair when you can’t see eye to eye”? 🔥 💯
Who says gingers don't have souls...cause this ginger has soul brotha.
3 decades later and this man’s voice is still as vibrant as it was back then.
Lord have mercy, this man got soul
This is what music all about : passion and great lyrics . No naked girls, only one man with all his heart .
Classics...Bring those days back.
I suddenly have the urge to listen to this song. Dad, thanks for the music influnce.
The kind of song that makes your stomach turn for a second when it first hits ... the rush of memories and feelings ♥️
This is one of those rare covers that can stand up to the original and stand on its own as well. I've always loved this version of the song.
I agree with you.
Well said...I feel the same.

This one of very, very few covers of older songs that is as good, or maybe even better, than the original.
