The Top 100 R&B Slow Jams #61 | Simply Red - Holding Back The Years



Let's give it up to a slow jam that not only blazed big in the U.S., but most certainly all over the world.

Lead singer Mick Hucknall & his rhythm & blues ensemble Simply Red blew open the curtains to a soulful gem, "Holding Back The Years", that not only peaked at #1 on the charts here in the U.S., but charted in various countries on the globe. In fact, the track became so distinguishable throughout the industry, that it was covered or re-interpreted by a select number of musical groups as well. Smooth, mellow, compassionate & easily a chart buster, this single can be found off their hit debut - major selling album, "Picture Book" , released back in 1985.


The song is, without a doubt, handpicked for our list: We present #61 of our Top 100 R&B Slow Jams to Simply Red | Holding Back The Years!
