I saw an interview with him and it showed some old pictures of him as a teenager watching bands in Manchester and at the Hacienda. He said he always wanted to be a singer as they got all the women lol, that was his main motivation. He was asked if he thought he would make it when he was starting out and he said yes. He came across as okay to be fair.
A few years ago I was on holiday in Tenerife and they were doing the farewell tour there. I went with some friends who lived there, €40, open air, great weather, easy access bar and they sounded great. A good night.

Mr Baconface's reposte @post45 was bang on the money. when he said that if the band were called Simply Blue you'd all be foaming at the mouth n thrashing your olden tackle into Jizzly buckets. The lad's arguably done more than any white singer to project the power of soul music to the world and champion his blue eyed soul genre (C).
Mr Hucknal has had over 50 million album sales, remaining a British musical phenomina that more than deserves his rightfull crown, one of the greatest singers of an era and accredited as the most prodigious voice this side of motown. Yet as always the haters are gonna hate, and all because hes percieved as ugly and having the audacity of supporting a bunch of no marks from over at the dark side. If there was no local opposition then there'd be no derby now would there?
Their album Stars sent Simply Red to the Moon and back, becoming the biggest-selling of the early nineties and the most successful record in the UK since Simon And Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, it also paved the way for simply red to win best british Group at the brit Awards for two years running. Oh yes.
However I'm not going to play a track from that album, prefering to play a brace of my all time favourite from our Denton Darling of blue eyed souls ninth album "Simplified" I hope you like them as much as I do!
