Goodbye Terry, I hope in your final hours, you knew deep down just how much people loved and held dear what you created. You may not be with us any longer, but your music will go on for generations to come. In ten, twenty or a hundred years time (if humanity makes it that far), young people will discover your music for the first time again, so in some ways you'll never die. You played a big part in forming some important values that I still believe in today and I bet there's lots of people who can say the same.
@@standardtwo Jane Wieldlin and Belinda Carlisle did backing vocals on a Specials album (I think it was More Specials, the second album with Stereotype & Enjoy Yourself).
My lips will never be sealed ,,,i will always tell the world what a very special person you and your band were ,, What utter joy you have given us xxlol Jane x RIP dear Terry xx You were much to young to pass x🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥀🥀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Such a wonderful song. I wonder if he was thinking of his romance with Jane Wiedlin every time he sang this. I love his beautiful backup singer and drummer. Her gorgeous voice and harmonizing really adds to this.
After cutting my teeth on The Beatles, Free, Zeppelin etc in the late 60s/70's, I was in a permanently bad mood in the 80's. But there were still a few genuine originals. Terry Hall was one. I will miss him.
so ahead of their time.....women playing all the instruments, blacks and whites playing beautiful music together, and such honest from the heart lyrics being sung by a man. It's hard to believe this was released 40 years ago. This band broke a lot of barriers and they weren't even trying. Rest easy Terry Hall...thk u for your contributions ❤️
Always loved this. The persistent bouncing hypnotic bongos coupled with Terry’s deadpan. And the fact for years I thought the lyrics were “Alex the Seal”. RIP Terry x
the total shock of showing up to watch Fun Boy Three for the trillionth time and finding out Terry has died. I am not an overly emotional guy, but I am crying while typing this. RIP Terry, the world is way less cool now.
As a kid I never liked this version and loved the Go-Go's version, but at the ripe old age of 53, I now like this version better, both because of the tempo and the subtle lyric differences. Both versions are great, though.
Yea TOTP was notorious for that. The Cure used to have a little fun with it and guys in the band would "play" different instruments than they normally played.
True story. This song came on in a tiny gay club in downtown Buffalo before last call, 4am Christmas week early 1980s. My friend and I, me with a black cloak, spun around the dance floor smashing glasses.
This is from the second FB3 album, recorded almost entirely with bananarama, beautiful album. But the first FB3 album is a great album, it should be much higher every time they make top album lists. And terry, absolutely great, thanks for everything. You left very quickly, it could have been avoided, get annual checkups.
