12 July 1986: Simply Red scored their first US #1 single with “Holding Back The Years”. Mick Hucknall wrote the song when he was only seventeen while living at his father’s home. The chorus apparently only emerged many years later although it was initially inspired by the upheaval caused by his mother leaving the family. It was co-written by Neil who was also an ex-member of the Frantic Elevators. The song also appeared in the movies “Cross My Heart”, “Love & Basketball” and “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”.
