Terry will be sadly missed. Among the tributes I have heard and read since his death. I'm sorry I never met him because he was such a wonderful and tender man.
Absolutely loved his voice...a true legend...lovely bloke..brilliant artist..rest in peace Terry...god bless you and thanks for making my early days memories i won't forget
Terry never seemed to be attracted to the trappings of fame, he was quietly brilliant in the background. An absolute genius. Really affected me when he passed
Ha... I love the beginning of this when he's on stage and someone's annoying him and he's got him in his sights and eventually loses it and slings his 'weapon' at him with full force, vengeance and intent.... and he 'normally' seems such a lovely, quiet guy too...
Doireann Ní M The bigoted bastard didn’t deserve the tambourine thrown at him. I hope Terry got it back or some more deserving human got it. Bloody strong throw, too- I hope it hurt!
This is a British white dude that can definitely get his skank on when he needs to! His recordings with THE SPECIALS are fuckin' awesome! Big props to Terry Hall! This cat is a true living legend.
Some very good footage here a lot I haven't seen before.Terry Hall suffers so badly from being a manic depressive I have always indentified with the way he feels been into The Specials/FB3 since I was a nipper. A very underated talent is Mr Hall. I just hope the demons in his head don't get the better of him!! Like to see the other parts to this if at all possible.
RIP Terry Hall, grew up listening to his music, still remember when I saw Ghost Town in late seventies on totp. Loved our lips are sealed which he wrote with jane weidlen from go gos, the music business has lost a brilliant songwriter, singer and amazing artist, his music will endure.
Have to say once the FB3 were done i didnt really bother with his music but have got back into it the last few years both Colourfield albums are brilliant as well as his solo albums especially Home
I know it’s all too easy to say when someone’s dead, but were we watching a genuinely tortured artist all this time? TH had better periods in his life, I know, but in a lot of these clips he appears less than settled. He had a very difficult back story, as is well known. Who knows - but what a great man/performer for creating all of this great stuff despite all the challenges. Lovely tribute.
Can you hear them talking about us? Telling lies well that's no surprise. Can you see them, see right through them? They have a shield nothing must be revealed
Very interesting, some clips hadn't seen before. Saw Terry while walking to a bus stop on the way home from xmas meal at Mem & Laz in Islington on 11th Dec
Something about Terry is so damned compelling. He’s got to be one of the most versatile performers around. Love his work with Dave Stewart. Hat tip to you, darling!
