aLBUM iNFORMATION
The British soul-pop band Simply Red was formed in 1984
by singer Mick "Red" Hucknall (born Michael James
Hucknall, June 8, 1960, Manchester, England) with three
ex-members of Durutti Column, Tony Bowers (b. October
31, 1952) (bass), Chris Joyce (b. October 11, 1957,
Manchester, England) (drums), and Tim Kellett (b. July
23, 1964, Knaresborough, England) (brass, keyboards),
plus Sylvan Richardson (guitar) and Fritz McIntyre (b.
September 2, 1956, Birmingham, England) (keyboards).
The group signed to Elektra Records and released Picture
Book (October 1985), which featured "Money's Too Tight
(To Mention)," a Top 40 cover of a 1982 R&B chart single
by the Valentine Brothers, and "Holding Back the Years,"
a Hucknall original that topped the U.S. charts. The
single caused the album to go platinum, and made the
group one of the major successes of 1986. Men and Women
(March 1987), which featured two collaborations between
Hucknall and soul songwriter Lamont Dozier, was less
popular, though it generated the Top 40 hit "The Right
Thing." (In the U.K., "Infidelity" and a cover of Cole
Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" also made the Top
40.) Richardson left in 1987 and was replaced by
guitarist Aziz Ibrahim, who was replaced by Heitor T.P.
(b. Brazil). The third album, A New Flame (February
1989), went gold due to the cover of the 1972 Harold
Melvin & the Blue Notes hit "If You Don't Know Me By
Now" that hit number one and became a gold single. (In
the U.K., "It's Only Love" and "A New Flame" also made
the Top 40.) By the time of the fourth album, Stars
(September 1991), Bowers and Joyce had left, with Shaun
Ward joining on bass and Gota on drums, and saxophonist
Ian Kirkham had become a permanent member. Stars was a
relative commercial disappointment in the U.S. (though
it spawned Top 40 hits in "Something Got Me Started" and
"Stars" and eventually went gold), but it became a major
success elsewhere, especially in the U.K., where it was
the best-selling album of 1991, topped the charts for 19
weeks, and spawned the Top Ten hits "Stars" and "For
Your Babies" and the Top 40 hits &Something Got Me
Started," "Thrill Me," and "Your Mirror." Worldwide, it
had sold eight-and-a-half million copies by the second
quarter of 1993. Ward and Gota were gone by the release
of Simply Red's fifth album, Life (October 1995),
leaving a lineup of Hucknall, McIntyre, Heitor T.P.,
Kirkham, and backup singer Dee Johnson. The album again
proved more of a success at home than in America,
topping charts all over Europe, as did its leadoff
single, "Fairground," while spending only three months
in the U.S. charts. Blue followed in 1998, and a year
later Simply Red issued Love and the Russian Winter.
