Money's Too Tight (To Mention)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Money's Too Tight (To Mention)" is a single first recorded by The Valentine Brothers and successfully covered by Simply Red in 1985.

The original version was an R&B-style tune.

The Simply Red cover owes much to the sound of the original, except with a more contemporary feel prevalent to the 1980s. It is a suitable cover, as much of the band's material was in the blue-eyed soul tradition. This version was a success on charts, first reaching #13 in the UK charts and later reaching the Top 30 in the US. It was also their debut single.
