After the demise of The Specials, #Terry_Hall co-wrote the song "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos. Hall also recorded his own, more ominous version with his new band, Fun Boy Three (produced by David Byrne!).

Here is Hall's take on the song. So British, so '80s, yet timeless.

Fun Boy Three - Our Lips Are Sealed (Official Music Video)

I saw Bananarama at Glastonbury in 2019, towards the end of the set they sang a few bars of 'It ain't what you do', but stopped before suggesting that they may return in future with Fun Boy Three. Sadly that can't happen now. #terry_hall

Man… rip Terry. I remember in March 2020, the beginning of the lockdown in the States. Skating the streets of the city I live in #Scranton and this song in my head as I looked around and saw barely a soul. “Ghost Town” fit the mood so well. It was surreal and unsettling, but also nice being able to skate in the middle of the street and not have to dodge cars.

Terry Hall: lead singer of the Specials dies aged 63

Having survived a tough childhood in Coventry, Hall became one of pop’s defining voices at the turn of the 80s, chronicling British decline and disfranchised youth with the 2 Tone band
