        Simply Red is an English pop band which has 10 members. Their style draws influences from pop, rock, jazz, lovers rock, and blue-eyed soul.

Mick Hucknall: As lead singer and core member of Simply Red, he has become the identifiable face of the band. His face, including his long curly red hair, was featured prominently on album artwork and in videos.

Their first single, released in 1985, was “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention)”, a cover of a soul standard originally recorded by The Valentine Brothers. This single had moderate success, reaching the UK Top 20.
           
In 1986 the band re-recorded a song that the Frantic Elevators  (the former band of Mick Hucknull) had recorded earlier, "Holding Back the Years", in a more accessible pop style, which was this time a major hit, peaking at #1 in Ireland, #2 in Great Britain, #3 in the Netherlands, #20 in Italy and later #1 in the United States, establishing Simply Red as a household name.

With their third album “A New Flame”, Simply Red adopted a yet more mainstream populist sound aimed for commercial rather than critical success, typified by their cover of Harold Melvin’s pop classic “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, which became their second U.S. #1 hit and one of the biggest singles of the year internationally.

            The band’s popular career peaked later that year with the release of “Stars”, which became the best-selling album for two years running in Europe and the UK (though notably had far less success in the US than their previous albums).

The band did release "Home" in 2003, a mixture of original songs and covers, including a version of The Stylistics song "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Simplified followed in 2005, mainly an album of stripped down versions of their Classic hits.
The single "Oh! What A Girl!" released in September 2006 from their album Stay, their 10th, released on 12 March 2007. This was preceded by the single “So Not Over You”, released on 5 March 2007. The third single from the album was the title song "Stay", released on 28 May 2007. The fourth and the last single of Simply Red, "The World And You Tonight", was released in November 2007.

Simply Red will perform a greatest hits show on December the 3rd, in support of their newest Greatest Hits album.
            Mick Hucknall announced that the band were due to split in 2010, after a farewell tour, starting in early 2009, ending in 2010.[1]
"I've kind of decided that the 25 years is going to be enough, so I intend that the 2009 will be the last Simply Red tour." "I've just recorded an album that is a tribute to Bobby Bland, a blues and R'n'B artist. It's a solo project and I've really enjoyed it so much that I feel the time has come now to just put a book-end to the story and the album Stay will be the last Simply Red studio album."
