Simply Red
Comment:
Formed in 1984, Simply Red took its musical cues from the fundaments of soul and its name from frontman Mick Hucknall's love of Manchester United (who play in red jerseys), his left-leaning political views (he would dedicate live versions of "Your Mirror" to Labour Party politician Mo Mowlam, who died in 2005), and the abundant curls of his flaming coppered hair. Blue-eyed soul was Hucknall's bedrock, though that may have been otherwise had his first band, the punkish Flaming Elevators, sold more than a handful of records. In 2007, Hucknall announced that Simply Red would disband after a farewell tour and that Stay will stand as the outfit's final studio album. The end duly came in 2010, but Hucknall's work as a solo artist is set to continue indefinitely.
