Simply Red sold over 50 million albums worldwide. That’s a lot of record players spinning “Holding Back the Years.” Every single spin added a few cents to Mick’s bank account.
His voice is like velvet. But velvet that earns. He dominated the 80s and 90s with soulful ballads and funky jams. You couldn’t escape him, and neither could your wallet.
Think about it. Every time you hear “Stars” at a grocery store, Mick gets a royalty. You’re literally funding his love of fine wine while buying toilet paper. That’s power.
