SIMPLY SAD NEWS!!!!!
Mick Hucknall announces Simply Red will disband forever after 25 years following a 2008 world tour!
Mick started from the post punk/ modern romantic movement with Frantic Elevators in Liverpool before deciding to do the music he loves = R & B.
After a smash hit debut record, he teamed up with legendary Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier and did 2 albums with several songs written with Dozier. Then Mick went out on his own and wrote STARS, the biggest selling album in the world..outselling The Beatles Sargent Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band.
Since then, he created his own label, wine, was the top selling R&B artist on the planet and just became a first time dad.
He just decided 25 years was enough and is retiring.
How big of an impact will this have on the R&B world ?Considering Simply Red was probably one of the few, if not only, bands left who pay homage to Motown and do R&B the right way.
