Money's Too Tight to Mention - Simply Red

[link] A classic of the 80s. Hadn't seen the video before.  I guess the setting is meant to be realistic; rough. Vocally, you pretty can't be more sort of quietly powerful than Mick Hucknall.  The A part is a great simple chord progression groove. I wonder if the whole social class thing is why the Brits have always understood and had the chops for real blues and soul.
