Who is listening 2024?
I am listening. Loving it
In 2024
I'm still in 1505
Me
Eu adorooooo!
i’ll keep holding on!!!!!
Those were the days when the real music was made.
Those days are long gone sadly. RIP to good music and thank goodness for CZcams
One of my favorite music videos on MTV!
My Dad loved this song. He passed away many years ago. Random times like tonight, this song pops up. Whenever I hear it, I feel it’s my dad saying “hello I’m still here with you” ❤
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🌺You have yourself a wonderful day ahead 🌺🌺🥰🎶🎵
One of the greatest voices the U.K ever produced.
UK has so much talent. Most of the best singers are from the UK.
finnibert lunchiken if not .. the best!
Dude can damn well sing that's for sure.
finnibert lunchiken Lucky UK. What an amazing talent.
One of the best ever !!!!!!!
Oh, this man can sing beautifully.
Was it " holding back the years, holding back the tears, because nothing here has grown"?
And he was hot! I have a thing for red haired men
not a fking cell phone in the audience, just people watching and listening. damn i miss that
Me too
no just a massive candle haha
Great point....cell phones mean you're not IN THE MOMENT
Well obviously?
@@internetmayoooooo ya think?
The 70s and 80s produced the greatest generation of music and songs. Period. Nothing today comes even close.
Agree x l am age 52
@@juliawilkinson9919 I'm 52 as well and the 80's were the absolute best for music.
@@normgraham6658 in 20 years the people in their 50s will say there's nothing like 00s music. That's the passage of time for ya
When we were growing up, the artist didn't need 100 dancers and an elaborate stage design. Their instruments and vocals was all we needed.
Real musicians playing real instruments!
There’s no way this crowd knew how important this was. Literally one of the best performances of all time.
Agree with you 100 percent❤
Get over yourself tool -- Montreux is known long and far -- people GO TO MONTREUX for songs/musicians like this ... just because you didn't have a clue doesn't mean the rest of the world didn't. Not to mention ... this is right in the middle of when "Stars" blew up across the world. Pretty sure at Montreux knew what they were seeing and hearing.
So true.
you couldn't imagine in 2022 that the songs of the 1980s were so perfect. Emotionally have we achieved something stronger since then? Honestly I don't think so...
I think the 80s were the peak of music and lyrical creativity and now we're getting just remnants we need to start cloning these people.
I agree.
1970'S & 1980'S ARE ALWAYS PERFECT!!
To sing like that live is pure talent. His voice really cuts right through the mix.
Most Nasally singers do 🔥🔥
No computers to enhance his voice. No autotune to make him sound better. Just a microphone and pure skill. Powerhouse voice! No school like the old school. It will never be that legendary again. Now, we are stuck with this shitty no talent "woke" Era.
@NworNro teu comentário é certo, determinação.!!🇧🇷

At 68yo I recently had an MRI and asked them to play this song. It felt like a journey in itself. What a voice from within
Best most influential, talented entertainer in the world today even if he is 63 years old? ❤
WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL!!!!
Still listening in 2024. His best performance right here ❤
Yes'''Mitchs voice😢🎉❤..........his Voice❤....lyrics❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
That voice, those chords, the rim shots, the trumpet with the harmon mute . . . one of the best balads of pop music history.
agreed
Agreed ❤
yes, indeed!
Agreed
My mother sang this song to us when we were little. Now that she's gone, I remember her with it.
That's Beauty. No One and a No Body can take those Memories Away. Can Play it at ur Wish. Keep Holding🎵❤💜
Keep holding on to those memories of your mom. May they last forever for you. God bless.!!!!!!
@@frankfossaceca9616no
God bless ya.
Best memories ❤️❤️
My eyes fill up with tears whenever I hear this beautiful classic. We were so blessed to grow up in a time when music still came from the soul and memories were stored in your mind and not on a phone.
I agree with you, I have such a quiet, calm memory of listening to this song when it first came out, I took a bike ride by myself and went down to the St.Croix river and I had my headphones on and I just sat in the grass watching the boats and thinking this song is my life. So blessed to have that memory still to this day!

Very nice written sir
When I was fifteen, Simply Red were my great passion, especially this worderful man. Now I am 56, and I am still here.
Exactly the same here - 56 year old woman. Irony is, although I loved the song in my youth - and have the hearing loss to prove it, playing as I did at top volume over and over again on my Walkman - I lacked the depth of maturity to even understand it. I appreciate it all the more now.
OH MY GOSH!!!! I WAS THERE!! Right in the front row!! Wonderful show!!
Wow! Que maravilloso 😊
I can’t believe he wrote this at age 17, truly a masterpiece.
Its the story of his mother (Mater) who left him and his dad when he was very young. Most of his early songs are very sad and about that experience.
@@64caca damn god bless
What? No way! can't believe it either!
Wow I didn't even know
Awesome freaking song and beautiful voice that man has no doubt ❤ 🙌
HE HAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE.HE OWNS THIS SONG NOBODY CAN EVER EVER SING IT LIKE HIM .NEVER.
Because its about his relationship with his mother.
Com certeza ele é único 😊eu o amo com todo meu amor 🥰😍🤩☺😚🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟🌟🌟⭐🌟🌟🌟❤❤⚘
agreed.....and maybe because he wrote it, and those words have deep meaning to him....
Mick Hucknall 's voice is just a pure as it was 20 years ago! BEAUTIFUL & SOULFUL
What a fantastic performer this man is. Nobody else sounds just as good live as they do in their studio cuts as him, too.
Agree.. but, of course, this was 30 years ago!
Absolutely true, seen him unplugged too.
He does sound good, but 'nobody? Really, I have to disagree.....besides, this is only about six years after the original release date. And, as a retired professional drummer from L.A., I have heard bands live versions of songs that sound MUCH better than their own studio version.
@@drew-shourd agreed, but, there are those that sound total crap live.
springstein and Elton come to mind.
dude can straight up sing with ridiculous control
Hey OHIO! O-H!
True….
This man’s voice is so naturally phenomenal!!!!!! There just aren’t words…❤
Mick Hucknall's voice is clear as a bell and simply beautiful!
Agreed, crazy how he never puts his name out there, what a cool cat.
No computers to enhance his voice. No autotune to make him sound better. Just a microphone and pure skill. Powerhouse voice! No school like the old school. It will never be that legendary again. Now, we are stuck with this shitty no talent "woke" Era.
Totally agree. Sadness...
Sadly REAL is GONE....I'm Grateful for the REALITY of my senior years 😊 ❤
Nobody on their phones!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍❤️🥰😘
Got to bring something like ‘woke’ into it. Ridiculous. Look up the actual meaning.
He has a good voice. This is my era. Also you don’t know what the rules are (no phones?).
There are plenty of people with good singing voices about because that’s being human and generations get their own music. I don’t pay attention to the music of today for the most part because I have enough to listen to from my collection that I’m happy with but if I come across something I like I will play it. Muse for instance.
Today though, human beings like equality. I actually get paid the same as a man doing the same job as me these days. People of colour have, or should have the same rights as every other human being. It’s not difficult.
Possibly the most underrated singer of all time. Doesn't get the credit or recognition he deserves. Quite simply the best.
he's known around the world...
You got it u got it you got it
I really miss the old days
Oops misspel
Underrated- Never he’s at the top of my list. Absolute Magic
agreed 100%
And he still has that incredible voice now in 2019. Brilliant.
Esta hermosa canción es un regalo para el alma . Saludos desde Lima Perú.
Has he ever performed in the in the United States? I live in Michigan & want to see him in concert here in the States!
Betsy Washburn yes, he's performed a few times in the USA. Unfortunately, they don't usually get much press which is why you should follow on their social media.
He has a 2022 tour planned. Get in there!
Finally someone sings a live version that is more beautiful than the original studio version.
Bitter Sweet song for me. My late wife was in Her last stages type 4 cancer when this song was popular. Back in the day after she passed this song would bring up a lot of sad memories. But with time healing comes. When I hear it now I am remember the pleasant memories. S/Red thank you for your awesome song. Good music will endure through all the seasons of life.
Rare -diamond vocals
Sharp clear brilliant
Pure talent
And diamond tooth 😳
Now you have auto tune which these Kats use bc they have NO talent or voice. Pure frauds they are
It's like he doesn't have to try. It all comes so naturally to him. He looks so relaxed when singing. Amazing!
Brilliantly said Rudy. This man's voice is purely angelic. So, so great.
@@marygarcia1745 Probably thousands of hours of practise. That's what makes it look effortless
He is shockingly talented.
Don’t be sad fellow Gen Xers, be thankful that we grew up in the 80’s, and for music like this to transport us back, if only for a few moments. Smile at your most treasured memories. See you at the finish line.
The 80's were amazing so many good songs 🎵 😊
So greatful and passing it to my kids so they may pass it along. ❤
This song is simply one of the greatest vocal achievements ever.
One of the most relaxing tunes and voices of all time . the man has soul
This truly is his song. I've never seen or heard him fail to nail it. Every single time.
And no one can hold a candle to him when they try to cover it.
I don't think he fails to nail any song. Here I am at home dancing & singing to his songs out of control LOL
Few soul singers have covered it too.
Whitey wins this time on the vocals.
@@jillcrato1680 Whitey not Whitney
What I call a timeless masterpiece by an authentic artist.
True! I was going to say classic, but masterpiece is perfect definition.
I agree
Still one of my favorites over the years.
He has to be one of the greatest singers. His live performances sound better than his recordings. Amazing.
MICK HUCKNALL
Song: ANGEL
Song: STARS
He is maybe the best blues white singer of all times.
To me one of the most beautiful songs of the 80s... Would like to hold back all those years!!!!
hahahaha, definitely!!...very well written Jose
yes
And that ladies and gentleman is how you nail a live performance. #perfection👌
None of the garbage that they call music these days will ever hold up like this! This is real music, real lyrics and REAL TALENT!!! Thanks for all the great music over the years, Simply Red! ♥️
True !
Right on….
There's good music out there. The fusion of Snarky Puppy for example. Sadly, it doesn't get promoted.
aww!! you took the words out of my mouth!! not a single scandily clad female , no backing dancer throwing "shapes", no bloody rappers with their horrible "swagger" and "attitude" not to mention expletive ridden obscene misogynistic lyrics, happier times indeed seems light years ago but a mere 30 years!!
Amen! I think music went to crap at a certain point.
Heard him in concert recently and that voice hasn’t wavered one bit. He is a true vocal talent.
True true TRUE
Fleewod mac over over
Same here
Dude’s great!!!
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
In the music industry it's called "You got 1" and this is 1 for sure... Outstanding
Ladies and gentleman, we did it. We found the only ginger in the world with Soul.
Not very often that I find the live version to be better sounding then the doctored recorded version, this guys voice is so strong and clear. Wow
This voice is a gift to humanity!
Mr Hucknall seems to be out of this world! Splendid, unique, angelical voice ever heard in my life. Love this ballad and many others🎉❤
This is fucking incredible man...
A lot of people pay all their attention to Mick's voice but miss/don't pay attention to the mic technique he has...That is truly the sign of an experienced/knowledgable/gifted artist...To be able to control the mic like that while creating that magic that he does with his voice...It's amazing man...One of the most talented singers on this planet!
THAT VOICE! SO
DAMN UNIQUE!!!

This song - and the incredible man behind it moves me like no other... I believe it is his voice -AND his talent as a great preformer that does it!
His voice is so phenomenal I’m so glad CZcams suggested this amazing talent !
HOW IS HIS VOICE STILL THE SAME AFTER SOOOO MANY YEARS. SMOOOOOOOTTTTHHHHHHH. LAWD.
sho is!
Really huh blessed
Could listen to Mick for hours what a beautiful soulful voice
Man I allmost forgot how great he sings....Damn, this is even better than the album version.
He sounds so good Live
What an amazing voice. Effortless.
It wasn't always like that. When they were the Frantic Elevators , practicing above the Salford Karate Club, they were often burst in on, and beaten up.

I’m 57 and this song still makes me cry. A lot of personal history invested in this song.
Same here. Brings back a lot of very tough times, but also how songs like got me through it.
my mums favorite she passed away in august 2020 used to sing this to me a lot
I’m sitting her crying. Turn 57 in 3 weeks.

Great mysterious comment
He sounds better than the original recording!!! Always my favorite!
One of the few singers 🎤 that sound as good “live” as he does “recorded”!!! Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍🥰🥰😘😘
This song transcends time and I used to play this song over and over again. I can relate to this song. Years later my husband and I separated. I moved to Europe and while I was there my husband died 1996. My daughter had this CD of Simply Red. She bought it because it reminded her of me.. She passed away in 2005. I think this song was created for people who can relate. ❤❣💕
I was 14 years old when this beautiful song was released. Im 50 years old now and it still hurts so good.
Im 73 and still love him since 1986
Im 73 and feel the same way you do 👍👍
This is one of those songs that you want to go on forever.
Magical. No autotune just real talent
Effortless, talented, full of energy and spirit. The legend that is Mick Hucknall and Simply Red. Freakin’ awesome ❤️❤️
Mick's voice is magical, I 've loved Simply Red for years.
His voice is still so amazing
Pain creates masterpieces. This is proof of that.
This live version is sublime. I've always adored this song but to see his performance here is everything!!
I can't believe how incredible and effortlessly beatiful he sings, FLAWLESS!!!! I miss my younger years.
Me too but look at our memories🤗
We all do. Took it all for granted while we were there. Now the world is such a mess. I deeply miss being a teen in the 80’s. Oh well, forward we go gen x.
Astonishing - the clarity of Mick's singing makes it sound like the recorded version. A great, great voice.
What a soft, enveloping voice!!!!
Holy cow. Effortless and silky smooth.
Authenticity at its purest form.
I've listened to this daily for a couple weeks now. His vocals are insane.
Me too
Such magic. What a gift this man has.
Takes me back to the the 80’s !
As a devout metalhead I have this in my hidden "Guilty Pleasures" folder in my music library and come back every so often to top up my soul meter...
I love that, i wish i was well off id follow him to every gig.
Awesome! 👍
No need to feel guilty at all. We need more of this.
No shame man. No shame.
Same here
Bet he never had to auto tune his voice . He's the real deal💖
Of course he had not. Autotune didn't still exist.
What a voice... Makes u realise why so many major artists have that extra something different from most.
Well he's an artist from the 80s and most artist from the 80s are truly exceptional talented .They put there heart and soul into every lyric unlike today most are garbage today.
Synthisized lol scared to perform live
@@rodgercostello9814 lip syncing their auto tune music
@@DlcEnergy lip syncing ....who cares.still excellent.at least he can sing it lol
@@rodgercostello9814 I'm not talking about Simply Red. Do you even remember the last comment you made? "Synthisized lol scared to perform live" I'm talking about those who can't perform live, who have to lip sync their auto tune music. You can't defend those synthesized singers with "at least *they can sing" lol
Mick has a great voice, flawless and beautiful in the execution. What a marvelous performance. Wish those days were here again.
I love this song ❤ his voice sounds exactly the same and is amazing after all these years. Can we please go back to these days 😢
Such a beautiful voice&its just as beautiful today as it was 35yrs ago!!!
Fucking A right. Just as great in 2019 as 1999.
Much better pipes than other stars of the 80s or 70s
What I’d give to be there back in the day to watch this. True, unfettered talent
Sounds better live ❤❤
