Formed by Mick Hucknall in Manchester in 1985, against a backdrop of social unease, poverty, and unemployment, Simply Red enjoyed early success with their debut Brit Award-nominated album 'Picture Book’ (their first of 13 nominations and 3 wins), with their single ‘Holding Back the Years’ (penned by Hucknall at the age of 17) reaching number 1 in the US.
