Rate Your Music score: 3.16 out of 5!
This is the second entry of the Salmonella Three - so named because these 3 entries are for songs that dominated the airwaves while I had salmonella.
Simply Red had a couple songs that were already lost hits by the time "It's Only Love" came out. When those songs fell off the charts, that was it for those songs. With major radio stations becoming increasingly conservative, that was likely because of controversy surrounding them - though these controversies were actually pretty mild. I heard "It's Only Love" much more than I ever heard the band's two earlier lost hits - even though the others charted much higher.
Perhaps radio played it more to atone for not playing the others anymore. But it too was gone rather quickly.
The hairstyle sported by Simply Red's Mick Hucknall was not unique. Check out this old scare film about a little girl who ruins everything she borrows, including library books and other people's records...
This entry might not be the last of Simply Red that we see on this blog.
