Simply Red's Mick Hucknall chooses his Tracks of My Years.

Having sold over 60 million albums since forming in 1985, Simply Red have simply become one of the world's most popular and enduring groups, with memorable songs such as Holding Back the Years, Money's Too Tight to Mention and Fairground. As well as huge sales, Simply Red have also racked up a host of trophies including Brits, Mobos and Ivor Novello awards.

Four years after their last album Blue Eyed Soul, Simply Red are back with their latest studio album Time, and after a successful tour in 2022 they are back on the road this year with a string of summer shows across Europe.

Mick's next two choices are Martha and the Vandellas and R. Dean Taylor.

Plus, Gary's got another edition of Radio 2’s new mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, the Love Song messages and the Record and Album of the Week.

If you’d like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, email tentothetop@bbc.co.uk, and if you want to contact the show, just email gary.davies@bbc.co.uk.
