Simply Red – Greatest Hits

Hey, admit it. You, like myself, probably remember Simply Red mainly for “Holding Back The Years” – right? Sure, we all do! But I also remember the lesser-known but tremendously appealing 1992 single “Stars”…and what do you know, it’s on here too. Amazing how record companies do that with best-of albums, eh? Of course it is! And for the much larger majority that loved Simply Red’s droning rendition of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, it’s on here too. Not a bad slice of hits and relative obscurities from Mick Hucknall and company.
