Simply Red

Two Gun Bob said:
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!

Smile : Written and perfomed by Michael James Hucknall and Ian Kirkham.

Yeah yeah yeah, Bob. But he called his band Simply Red. Plus him being a simple red and ugly ginger bastard is more than enough reason for frothing at the mouth.
 
Apparently used to ride around on his bike when a teenager trying to chat you get girls up. They all used to avoid him as you do with certain types. Have always been waiting for some stories to come out about the little prick.

Remember hearing Mike Sweeney talk about him. Said when he was still coming up as a singer, he'd got him into the posh bits at the swamp and to meet the players, used to invite him in for matches. Years later in London, he bumped into him in some nightclub in London, tried to say hello and was blanked. So even the rags think he's an ugly self-important prick
