      2. Mick’s vocal is very unique and soulful. I love his emotional lyrics and his non-competing, complimentary music gives his voice the spotlight. The awards received for “Holding Back The Years”, is well deserved. Cheers!

      3. Years ago, someone I used to work with in the music industry was fortunate to have attended a live performance during the height of Simply Red’s popularity and, I distinctly recall, he related that the singer’s performance was both flawless and transcendent.
