Some records really do change your life when you hear them, and this was one for me. That voice with that groove was unlike anything that came before, and is still truly unique.
When The Specials reformed I got to see a band that I'd loved when I was way too young to get into gigs, and finally be able to dance to their truly awesome songbook. I don't think I've ever been happier in a gig crowd, singing along to every word, memorised years before.

I feel compelled to hear him laugh. Makes me smile… every time.
Now is as good a time as any.
God bless you Terry Hall x

The first time I ever saw The Specials on telly - #TOTP 1979.

They blew my 12yo mind. Tbh, they still do.

RIP Terry Hall of the Specials & Fun Boy 3, gone much too young.
I once interviewed Terry Hall when he was in Colour Field as part of a college media round table. He quickly lost patience w/ half-assed college kids’ questions & just began sarcastically skewering them. It was so perfectly Terry Hall, I wanted to hug him https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/19/terry-hall-lead-singer-of-the-specials-dies-aged-63
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

Terry, Blair & Anouchka

Formed shortly after the dissolution of Terry's previous musical project the Colourfield.

All three members shared a love for '60s pop, as well as kitschy mainstream pop, as evidenced on the trio's cover of Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" 👇

If you've never heard #TerryHall's own version of That Song he cowrote, do yourself a favor. A brilliant demonstration how the same song can work in different ways via different hands. #music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhVhK-VVeXo
