Fair use rationale for Image:Simply Red - Holding Back the Years.jpg

[edit]

Image:Simply Red - Holding Back the Years.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Differences between versions of Frantic Elevators and Simply Red

[edit]

I noted 3 additions when listening to the version of the Frantic Elevators (FE), that are now standard to the song.

  1. The chorus lines "I'll keep holding on" where not originally part of the FE version (a guitar riff is heard in the FE version); this is mentioned in the article, complete with footnote;
  2. The signature trumpet solo is absent in the FE version;
  3. The high-pitches crescendo "oh ha la la" is absent in the FE version.

I am a curious about the no. 2 and 3 additions: where the added by the producer of Simply Red (producers often "fill" a song with catchy sounds) or by Mick Hucknall himself? At any rate, I think the repeating lines "I'll keep holding on" make the song a great sing-along, possibly helping to make it the big hit it became. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.208.173 (talkcontribs) 09:34, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
