Simply Red basically became Mr Hucknall and backing musicians after bit, hired and fired accordnig to need. He's always come across as a bit of an @rse, but he certainly has a good voice...early days stuff, "Holding Back the Years" and "Money's too tight to mention" is very good, if you like your soul; after that, not much that I like, and much that I dislike...
I can't hold his gingerness against him, as it would be unfair
and half of my cousins are ginger (usually the left hand side...
)
