Simply Red - The Story Of Stars (Documentary)

Stars was released in 1991 and is regarded as the classic Simply Red album, with outstanding hit tracks including Something Got Me Started, Your Mirror, For Your Babies and the title track Stars. This album was very much the dominating force of 1991 with record sales reaching dizzying heights and beating the likes of Michael Jackson, U2 and Dire Straits.

This programme takes a look at the classic songs from the album and also includes specially recorded tracks, archive footage and promotional clips. We learn of Mick Hucknall’s musical vision and his inspiration forces both past and present, and how these influenced the songs he wrote and recorded.

Also featured in the programme are exclusive interviews with the producer Stewart Levin, Motown legend Lamont Dozier and members of the band, giving an insight into why the album, and Simply Red, have been such phenomenal successes.

I am a few years younger than Mick and I liked Simply Red in college and their songs were always in the background of my life. Fast forward to today. Its Christmas Day 2024 and I am alone. I have been listening to Simply Red albums and watching interviews all week and today. And while I am a little sad, all is right with the world because of Mick, his music and his outlook. Thank you Mick ❤

Mick has a an amazing voice, but that's not why I love him. The way he delivers his songs is truly unique, very deep. His love for life is contagious and is a part of his charisma. Thank you, Mick!

Every time I hear this Man sing it takes me back to such a happier time sitting in the Car with my Mum and Dad and asking if they could put Simply Red on when we were going to see relatives. So whenever I feel so down that life is a fight which is often I sit back put one of his songs on and go back to that happier time. Thank you Mr Huncknell for making that possible your the best!!

I’m gonna tell you right now ‘holding back the years’ is probably my favorite song of my lifetime. It is a timeless. That will endure long after I’m gone it puts you in a mood that cannot be explained…….you ride that melody……

I can not completely explain how much Mick's voice hits my heart. He shows so much emotion in every song he sings. He is only one man with all this talent that will NEVER be like any other. Mick's passion for his artistic music is one of a kind. This man has so much talent. Love you❤Mick.
