Simply Red ‎– Picture Book 1985 -  Rhythm & Blues

stock photo only

Simply Red’s debut album Picture Book blends soul, funk, and pop with emotionally rich vocals from frontman Mick Hucknall. Released in 1985, the album introduced the band’s signature sound—smooth grooves, heartfelt lyrics, and polished arrangements.

Featuring the breakout hit “Holding Back the Years” and the politically charged “Money’s Too Tight (To Mention),” the record explores themes of love, struggle, and identity with a mix of introspection and swagger. Hucknall’s voice anchors the album with warmth and conviction across all ten tracks.

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band that has sold more than 50 million albums since the mid 1980s. Their style draws upon influences ranging from blue-eyed soul, New Romantic and rock to reggae and jazz. From their early days, the main driving force behind the band was singer/songwriter Mick Hucknall, who, by the time the band was disbanded in 2010, was the only original member left.[1] At the 1992 and 1993 Brit Awards, they received the award for Best British Group.[2] The group was reactivated in 2015, and continues to record and tour.
